The inner spirit guides his being and Yogiraj Gurunath Siddhanath is inwardly motivated to unveil the ancient art and science of Hamsa Yoga. "Men and women live in misery created by their own thoughts. Kriya yoga brings to life energy and pranayam helps get hold of the mind and calm it. This calm mind leads to a meditative state, it comes gradually and patience is the key to get to that state,'' Gurunath, who was in the city for an experiential satsang talks about the philosophy of the practice. Hamsa literally means Swan, and symbolizes the soul. The Way of the White Swan is an inner, meditative journey leading spiritual awakening and healing.

The practice of the technique, breathing, concentration leads to the ecstasy of expanded consciousness, the stepping stone towards tranquility, bliss and peace. "There can be no earth peace if there is no inner peace. Before you can give it to others, you have to experience it yourself,'' the Master talks about life's stress, discontent, impatience...like the lotus stands beautiful, unaffected by the dirty water it is in, he urges one to be unaffected by stress and tension. "An individual's degree of peace can help to cope tremendously with turmoils,'' the Hamsa he adds, symbolizes the soul in each one of us corresponding to the lateral ventrical in our brains and the super-conscious states of a Yogi experienced in these ventricals are clearly documented in his film Wings to Freedom.
