Satchidananda Sutras 2nd Edition- by Sri Swami Satchidananda, Cover Art by Peter Max

A collection of hundreds of "jewels from the teachings of Sri Swami Satchidananda" short quotes organized by subject and representing many or his seminal teachings. This book was published in honor of his Mahasamadhi (leaving the body) in 2002.

“We often want someone or something to bring us
happiness, but happiness that comes from the
outside is mixed with unhappiness. If something
makes you happy, it is a borrowed happiness, and
when it is no longer the way you want it to be, you
are no longer happy.
One of the main teachings of Yoga is to free yourself
from depending on people, possessions, and events
for your happiness, and to realize and experience the
true happiness that comes from within.”
~Swami Satchidananda

You Will Never Be Without Me - by HH Sri Swami Satchidananda:
When I leave my body I will continue to guide you from a higher level. When you are in the Guru's physical presence you may think that the guidance is coming form the physical side. No, spiritual help need not depend on the physical body.

It's almost like I'm wearing a robe. But when I take this robe off, you are able to see something more real. Once the physical body is gone, those who have the capacity to see, will see the spiritual body. It is the spiritual body that is able to go everywhere, moving freely. The time will come when I will no longer be confined in the body and can easily reach everybody.

Evolved souls, enlightened beings, sages and saints, when they depart from the body they can easily reach everybody. They can do more great things than they did while they were in the body.

The Guru-disciple relationship never ends. It's always there. Whether the Guru leaves the body, or the disciple dies. That relationship is eternal, and Guru and diciple can never be separated.

Remember you will never be without me, never! The body may go, but I am always with you. Always!
