Spiritual discourse, pravachan, holds a very special place among the devotees of Mahayogi Swami Umananda Saraswati. Gurudev Umananda, started giving pravachana to a group of women seekers ‘Jnaneshwar Satsang Mandal’ on various aspects of the Gita and the Vedanta and there after Shree Jnaneshwari, the textbook of Gurubhakti yoga according to Muktanand Baba.
Gurudev umananda had such a command on Jnaneshwari that H.H. Muktananda Baba considered Gurudev Umananda, an authority on the Jnaneshwari. He had publicly said that if one had to hear discourse on the Jnaneshwari, one should hear it from Tai. (Baba called Gurudev Umananda Tai, and so did everyone else)
The beauty of listening to spiritual discourse from a Guru and a Mahayogi like Tai is that such a Guru is soaked in divinity, has turned into divinity itself. Gurudev’s Vani, the speech itself has the power to transform and influence even the life of an average seeker. The ParaVani, the Divine Speech of Guru, has the power to transfer the sacred knowledge about Guru, which is hidden from the common man. The most important thing is that it has the power to awaken Kundalini Shakti in the seeker.
