Gurukrupayog
What is Gurukrupayog ?
Spiritual practice alone can give us the strength to face sorrows in life bravely as also the experience of everlasting Anand (Bliss). Spiritual practice means efforts made for God-realisation. Spiritual practice undertaken for attaining the blessings of the Guru and His continual grace is called ‘Spiritual practice according to Path of Guru’s grace’ (Gurukrupayoga). Gurukrupayoga has two aspects – vyashṭi sadhana (Efforts for individual spiritual growth) and samashṭi sadhana (Efforts for spiritual growth of society).
