Spiritual Guidance in Modern Life
Today's modern lifestyle brings many advantages such as super fast ways of transportation, devices of information that you can carry and access everywhere you are, media that brings the whole world close to you and much more. What is missing though, in this hectic and busy life which bombards you constantly with information and input that your brain has to process, are answers to the basics of life: why are we here, where are we going, what should we do in difficult situations? People are looking for spiritual guidance, they are searching for someone to show them the way and give them answers to their questions.
Unfortunately many turn to organizations and communities which promise help and support but instead manipulate and turn out to be sects or followers of dubious masters and gurus. Instead of receiving the answers they were looking for, people are often exploited and disappointed. This is how Swami Ji and Pundit Sharma JI encourage everyone who comes to them to find the truth and balance within themselves, not in the outside. They offer help and counseling on how you can find back to inner peace and harmony in life.
Spiritual Peace now called Spiritual Counseling
Have you landed here in your search for spiritual Peace? You are on the right page! Spiritual Peace is now called spiritual counseling.
A Spiritual Guide to Inner Peace - Swami Ji
Swami Ji has a long history of doing spiritual counseling and giving advice to those in distress. Even in the time of his 'Guru life', when he was giving initiations and lectures on Hindu scriptures, people used to come to him and ask him for advice which he could provide with the knowledge of the scriptures. Of course with time experience added to this knowledge and this is how he kept on consulting others in difficult situations of life even after he had left the traditional life of a Guru.
Helping others has always been that which made Swami Ji the most happy and this is how people come to him for getting advice for problems in their relationship, with family and friends or with the partner as well as business and health issues. He offers answers to energetical questions regarding the energy system in our body and the flow of energy through our chakras. If you come to Swami Ji with any question, any psychological problem or just for emotional support, you can share your feelings and thoughts with him. In his direct and honest way he may give you an answer to help you get rid of any confusion or he may do counseling in silence - just a way of sharing emotions, being together and giving support on an energetic level.
Swami Ji believes in the power of love and prayers. And a touch is love, just like a touch by a loving mother when she holds her baby in her hands. Doesn't this stop all crying and make all pain forgotten? Even a loving stroke over the back or holding the hands of someone who has much love towards you can give great relief. And the prayers that he will be saying are ancient mantras with which he was meditating during his three and a half years in the cave.
Swami Ji believes that there is not any problem that cannot be solved if you are honest. Honest to others as well as towards yourself and your feelings. Come for spiritual counseling with Pundit Sharma and you will reach clarity and harmony which
will finally give you a feeling of inner peace.
Apart from the physical aspects however he also got to know how these factors influence the situation of our mind and our emotions. People in the west often experience stress, negativity, depression and unstable emotional situations. Whether it is problems in relationships, in the family or with the own mind, body and life, Pundit Sharma Ji welcomes everyone who would like to share with him and get his counseling. With the background of the sciences of Yoga and Siddha, Siddha, his experience in counseling people, his open loving heart and his sensitiveness towards the feelings of others and of situations, you can be sure that Pundit Sharma Ji will help you in finding a way back to a calm and peaceful situation. He might give you small exercises and practical examples for the mind, guide you in conversation to the point of your feelings where you cannot reach on your own and support you on your way to a happy living full of love.
Uniqueness of Each Session
However your consultation will look like and whether you choose to have counseling by Pundit Sharma ji or Swami Ji, it will not be comparable to any other person's session before or after because we all are unique beings, with our own characters and feelings. We are in different situations and can handle them in different ways. Some of us may need more courage to do what others do without much effort; some of us need more self-esteem and self-confidence to be able to express emotions while others need help to control their overflow of emotions and expressions. Pundit Sharma ji as spiritual counselor always respond to each person individually, considering the current situation and the personality of the one in front of them. There is no general advice that fits for everybody.
Who will benefit from Spiritual Counseling?
Anybody can come to a spiritual consultation, be it for getting spiritual advice, sharing a difficult emotional situation, getting relief from pain or just being with someone who listens and feels. Swami Ji and Pundit Sharma JI can however show you the way to deal with your illness THROUGH SPIRITUAL REMEDY. They would love to give you an unbiased opinion on your situation if you ask for it or just lend their shoulder to lean on and cry on. You can find mental and emotional support.

Atharva Veda -Siddha Massage
Siddha massage is an ancient science which, although originated thousands of years ago, is still used as a treatment for many problems and ailments. Additionally to the nutrition suggestions, Siddha oil massages are recommended for relaxation of body and mind as well as for stimulation of nerves and muscles. Presently Swamiji Sri Selvam siddhar is the only Hindu in he whole north America who knows the secrets and a scholar of Atharva Vedic Siddha massage which is of thousands of years old kept secret.
In ancient times, Siddha massages were such a commonly known practice throughout India, that Siddha practitioners and clinics did not even offer them. People consulted Siddha doctors only for particular treatments and special needs in order to receive a specific treatment. Nowadays however you will find Siddha massage offers in all Siddha clinics and also in wellness spas.
Through the detoxifying process as well as the relaxation of the mind, Siddha massage also has a great effect on your mental and psychological state. When your mind can relax from the stress and overwhelming input of your surroundings, it has time to sort thoughts and emotions.
In Hindu traditions it is even today usual to give an Siddha massage to both, the bride and the groom, as a special ceremony that lets them relax and makes their skin soft and glow from inside. The soothing relaxation helps a couple - newlyweds or not - to share and give love. Siddha massages are thus even recommended for partners who wish to maintain a loving relationship.
Therapeutic Treatment
Today's busy, modern world offers many advantages but is at the same time a challenge for the human mind and body. Constant stress and pressure weigh heavy on our minds while long sitting and working hours as well as a permanently wrong posture give strain to our body. While a lot of people are disappointed with the treatment that allopathic medicine offers, those who have experienced Siddha Massages and procedures are often convinced by the results: they feel better, muscles could relax, strain and stress was lifted and pain could thus be reduced. These are the most common and recommended procedures: Pizhichil, Njavarakizhi, Abhayangam, Shirodhara, Shirovasti, Elakizhi and Ubatan.
Abhyangam- Siddhar style
Abhyangam is that what most people will imagine when they hear 'Siddha oil massage'. Herbal medicated oil is used to massage the entire body. While doing this, the therapist takes care to press the 107 vital points, called marmas, of the body.
This massage obviously has great benefits on the entire body. It enhances the blood circulation, it tones your muscles, rejuvenates your skin, strengthens the tissues and relaxes your nerves. Through the relaxation of the body your mind is soothed. Your body and immune system can resist influences from outside better. You have better sleep, your skin shines and you feel young and full of power.
Shirodhara- Siddhar style
Shirodhara is probably one of the most widely known Siddha treatments. It is a gentle massage as well as treatment in which oil with Siddha herbs is poured onto your forehead in a continuous stream.
The effect of Shirodhara is often described as a rarely experienced relaxation of the mind. Any stress and tension is relieved which has a relaxing effect on your mental and emotional situation. Shirodhara is thus strongly recommended for people suffering from insomnia, depression or burn-out. Sleep is improved, concentration gets easier and it can even change your general attitude towards more positivity.
If the therapist uses buttermilk instead of oil, the therapy is called Takradhara.
Pizhichil or Sarvangadhara- Siddhar style
’Pizhichil’ literally means squeezing. It is however not the body that is squeezed but a piece of cloth which the therapist dips periodically into a bowl containing warm oil with Siddha herbs. This oil is thus squeezed onto your body in a continuous stream over a longer period of time. The whole body except for head and neck thus experienced this warming and relaxing stream of oil.
Apart from its obvious soothing effect on the mind, Pizhichil relaxes the muscles of the whole body while the herbs reach deeper into the body tissues. Pizhichil is recommended for problems caused by the dosha Vata. It has beneficial effects for patients with muscle spasms, frequent cramps and even paralysis and hemiplegia.
Njavarakizhi- Siddhar style
In preparation for Njavarakizhi, oil with Siddha herbs is applied all over the body. After that you receive a massage with a warm bundle filled with Siddha herbs and medicine and dipped into warm milk.
The warmth, further supported by the Siddha massage and herbs, makes the body sweat out toxins. Through the rubbing with the bundle, dead skin is removed so that new skin can grow. This process not only makes your skin shine through the revitalisation and thus gives the impression of a rejuvenating therapy but also helps against certain skin disorders and impurities. Apart from this effect, Siddha suggests this therapy for all types of rheumatism, pain in the joints and arthritis. Its relaxing and soothing effect is helpful during the convalescence period after traumatic experiences. General weakness is another reason for an Siddha doctor to recommend this massage. Patients suffering from paralysis have experienced relief after repeated application of this and other treatments over a prolonged period of time.
Shirovasti- Siddhar style
Usually Snehana (oiling) and Swedana (sweating, for example through steam) is done before one starts a Shirovasti treatment. For Shirovasti, a crown or cap is formed out of a hard cloth that is then fixed with a paste to the head so that it can be filled from the top without leaking. Warm oil with Siddha herbs is filled into the cap and remains there for some time.
The benefits of this treatment go far from a relief of headaches and earache to a a distince improval of all sensory functions. The warm oil stimulates nerves at the top of your head and is thus recommended for diseases and problems connected with your cranial nerves. Siddha recommends the treatment for facial paralysis, cataract and glaucoma but also for schizophrenia, obsessive-compulsive disorders, memory loss, insomnia and disorientation. It is described as a Shamana treatment rather than a Shodhana treatment, which means that it alleviates problems rather than cure them completely.
Elakizhi- Siddhar style
For Elakizhi your therapist will prepare bundles of various herbs and herbal powder. These bundles are warmed in Siddha oils and then used for massaging your body.
Elakizhi is a therapy that revitalizes your skin. Blood circulation is increased and your body sweats out toxins. Your skin releases these toxins and through the massage, dead skin particles are removed. Swamiji also recommend this massage against joint pain, muscle cramps and arthritis. Of course the massage also reduces any stress levels in your body.
Ubatan- Siddhar style
Ubatan is a Beauty Massage. It is used to help the elderly and special techniques have been developed for young mothers as well as babies.All those treatments can be performed on a healthy person, too, simply to strengthen the immune system and giving back energy to the body. For patients, a Siddha doctor usually recommends different combinations of treatments and herbs. Specific Siddha massage therapies are used in certain therapeutic treatments like in Panchakarma purification.
If you would like to experience different Siddha massages and Siddha treatments, you are welcome to come to a Yoga and Siddha retreat to the Ashram.

Mantra
What is a Mantra?
The word 'Mantra' is a combination of two Sanskrit words 'Man' for 'Mananat' and 'Tra' for 'Trayate'. Mananat means constantly thinking of something, repeating it and having it in mind. Trayite means saving or doing good. A Mantra is thus something, a word, phrase or sound, that you repeat again and again which will save you and be good for you.
In which way can a Mantra help you?
Saying a Mantra can save you from negativity does not mean that you suddenly have some sort of supernatural power because of this Mantra which will protect you. Sound has a big influence on your mind and consciousness which is why it is used in many therapies and psychological Peace methods. You can feel yourself that you feel good when listening to beautiful and joyful music whereas other music styles can raise aggression. The sense behind repeating a Mantra is that it increases positivity inside you and reconditions your mind towards a positive attitude. It is a psychological process which helps you to a happier life.
Protection from Negativity
With the repetition of something positive, you will be positive and the repetition will help you to stay positive even if there is negativity around you. When you repeat a positive phrase about happiness, for example how beautiful the morning is, you will be in this happiness and even if there is a person who thinks it is a horrible day, you will remain in your good mood. The Mantra 'it is a beautiful morning' has saved you from losing your happiness.
Mantras for Illnesses and Diseases
Mantras for physical issues are not like a painkiller pill that you can chew and everything is fine. A Mantra helps you to have stability for your mind to deal with whatever comes up with this illness. Mantra meditation helps breaking old patterns of thinking and acting like the tendency to suffer. Instead it helps us to remain strong and fight the illness.
Can a Mantra harm you?
No, a Mantra cannot harm you and it cannot harm anybody else. Some people claim that they can give you a Mantra which will harm competitors and enemies but a Mantra is not a magic spell! A Mantra has in its name that it is doing something good for you.
What if I pronounce it wrong?
If you recite a Sanskrit Mantra it is just natural that you cannot pronounce it fully correctly at least in the beginning as it is not your mother tongue. After listening many times and with some practice you may be able to say it correctly but even if there are some sounds which do not exist in your language and which your tongue refuses to pronounce, there will be absolutely no harm done! Some people think Mantras work like magic spells in movies and fiction books where you have to say it correctly for it to work. It is the intention, the feeling and the love that count while you are saying your Mantra. If you say 'I am happy with my full heart' and you do not pronounce it correctly, you still know what you are saying and your heart feels happy and light, so don't worry, you cannot do anything wrong.
How to choose a Mantra?
You also have the possibility to receive a personal Mantra chosen for you by Swami Ji. Please call Swamiji Sri Selvam Siddhar @ 408 829 7780 in USA
Be a vegetarian
You don't need to kill to still your hunger!
We need to take care of our environment, the people and beings living around us and the generations to come after us. There are many reasons to be vegetarian. One of them is that from the amount of grains that are planted to feed cattle which is only raised for being killed, we could feed millions of starving people on the whole world. These animals are only raised to be killed. As a human person you need to have sensitivity in your heart, a love for each living being. How can you kill an innocent animal just to feed your stomach? They have a right to live just like us. We should take care and protect animals and the environment but what is happening is that we are destroying and exploiting. Do something against it! Becoming vegetarian, choosing not to eat meat but a healthy vegetarian diet is thus not only good for yourself, your health and body but also for your environment.
You are what you eat
Whatever you eat, whatever you put into your stomach, it will reflect on your body and mind and in this way on your physical as well as your mental health. Eating is not just filling your stomach like filling a garbage bin. Food is not only food, it is vitamins, minerals, fibres, carbohydrates, proteins and more which our body needs not only to survive but also to be in balance and be healthy and strong which then of course has an impact on our mind and overall being. So you need to take care what you take into your body, it will be part of your system. A balanced vegetarian diet is the solution.
Why you should be vegetarian and not eat meat
Vegetarian Food is not boring! Delicious Vegetarian Recipes, Vegetarian Cooking Workshops and Retreats
You read this whole page, are convinced of everything above but just have one more problem: you think vegetarian food is just boring? That is another common misconception in the West where some people believe, vegetarians just leave away the meat and eat the side-dishes instead. That would be indeed boring. However there is a great range of delicious vegetarian dishes prepared with a variety of vegetables and spices. As a big part of the Indian population lives vegetarian, the Indian kitchen offers many vegetarian recipes with which you will definitely never get boring. India is the home country of Siddha, and this is how many commonly cooked dishes have a high nutritional value as well. In Siddha Cooking Workshops Swamiji Sri Selvam Siddhar teaches the preparation of Siddha food. Alternatively you can get first-hand experience by participating in an Siddha Cooking Retreat in India and get to know many vegetarian dishes for your wholesome meal. We have collected some of these vegetarian recipes online, too. Enjoy eating healthy and nutritious food in harmony with nature, environment and the animals around you.
How eating meat harms your health
Eating meat, which means any kind of flesh food including fish and poultry, has several harmful effects on your body. Apart from the fact that a non-vegetarian diet often contains more fat than the body needs or can use, the meat also contains hormones, herbicides, pesticides and antibiotics due to the way that the animals were kept. All of these substances enter your body while eating and your body needs to work to get rid of all of them again. But of course some enter the body and together with other harmful substances which were created during the preparation they increase major chronic diseases like cancer, heart disease, kidney disease and osteoporosis.
It is not only on our body that eating meat has negative effects; our emotions and our mind also are affected by it. If you take the saying 'you are what you eat' and you see people who eat animals, then watch them and see that the saying is true. A meat-eater often has more easily emotions like anger and aggression. And many people are aware of what they are doing - killing to eat. And the minutes of death of the animal that you are eating are with you whenever you take a bite.
Health benefits of a vegetarian diet
In the west there is still the wrong perception that eating meat is necessary for your health. On the contrary a proper vegetarian diet gives you more energy, keeps your body healthy and free of toxins. Studies and researches have found that vegetarians live longer and more healthily than meat-eaters.
If you keep a diet with vegetables, grains, legumes, fruits and lentils or beans, you have everything your body needs: vitamins, fibres and with lentils or beans also enough proteins. A healthy vegetarian diet together with regular exercise is associated with less obesity, lower blood cholesterol levels, lower blood pressure and resulting from that less heart disease, diabetes, cancer, stroke and finally mortality. It is simple: vegetarians live longer!
Nature and Destiny of our Body
Our body is not made for eating meat. If you look at the jaw of carnivores, like tigers or dogs, you see that they have teeth for hunting and tearing apart meat and bones. The teeth of herbivores however, such as cows or horses, are made for grinding grains and chewing vegetables. And if you compare our jaw, you will find that it is much more similar to the jaw of horses or cows. Our teeth are just not made for non-vegetarian food.
It is not only our teeth but also our intestines which are made for a vegetarian diet. Our intestinal tract is longer than that of carnivores, so that we can digest grains and greens. Carnivores have to pass the raw meat that they eat through their intestines quickly as it has lots of bacteria which can harm the body. Our whole body, our metabolism and the entire system is not made for eating meat.
Heal Body & Mind
Learn to heal yourself
In the three seminars of The Law of Peace (Level I to III) you can get to know how everybody can apply these laws on his life and thus start, continue and anchor positive changes in life. Attention will be paid on the physical, the mental and the spiritual part. The frequency of the vibration on earth was increasing significantly during the past years and still is. This makes it possible and necessary for everyone to develop his consciousness in order to heal himself.
Pundit Sharma Ji teaches the ways to self-Peace. During a meditative retreat of more than three years isolated from the world, he adjusted his own energy to these new frequencies. This intensive retreat did not only help him to fully realize his connection to the universe but also induced him to spread this energy all over the world. Swami Ji’s Peace work is based on the interaction of body, mind and soul. Every physical and psychological problem derives from blockages in the etheric body. Everyone is able to use this power to dissolve blockages and to heal the entity of body, mind and soul.
In spring 2002 he met Dr. Narendra Dev for the first time. He is medical specialist in psychosomatic medicine and psychotherapy and has been working successfully in his practice for the last 20 years. With this encounter an intensive exchange of thoughts and experiences of spiritual Peace methods started which resulted in the development of the series of seminars The Law of Peace. Already at the beginning of his clinical work he discovered a strong flow of energy between his hands which, when he put his hand on aching body parts, soothed pain and sometimes even freed patients from pain. Several expeditions through Europe, to the USA and above all to India provided him with explanatory approaches and helped him on his search for new and more effective treatments, which he could not get in numerous specialist trainings. With these treatments he helps people to recognize and change old and negative patterns of thoughts and thus heals their mind from self-created problems.
As body, mind and soul influence each other permanently The Law of Peace will also give attention to the physical aspect. Swami Ji’s grew up in an environment of spirituality and developed already in his youth great interest in the physical aspects of a Peace process. He became expert in exercises and techniques, like Mudras (gestures) and breathing techniques, which support the change of energy in the body as well as in the mind.
The Law of peace gives you the possibility to reconnect with the eternal source of Peace inside yourself. This unique training course helps you to create a great inner strength, which you can use for yourself and your life but also for the support and the Peace of others.
Level I
“Recognizing the inner source of Peace and the new Peace frequencies“
This seminar of two days helps beginners and those who are already experienced in working with Peace energies to connect with their own inner source of Peace and the new Peace frequencies. Swami Ji will gently introduce the participants to the energy and help them to connect with it. As soon as this connection is made, Peace takes place. Pundit Sharma Ji will help you to recognize and to change old, negative patterns of thinking and thus heal your mind from self-creates problems. Pundit Sharma Ji, expert in yogic exercises, teaches among others Mudras (gestures) and breathing exercises which softly support the change of energy in the body.
Level II
“Approach and dissolving of energy blockages with the new Peace frequencies“
How can I target the energy of the source in me to resolve blockages? At the second weekend the participants will get to know ways and tools to concentrate the active Peace energy inside them and to direct it to body parts which are in pain. In these body parts there are blockages in which the energy is very dense. The blockages can be dissolved by the fine penetrating energy that is sent there. In order to do this the participants will go on a journey through their body, visit places where blockages hinder the flow of energy and release the pure and powerful light energy. Physical as well as psychic problems can be treated in this way. The power from inside ourselves can be strengthened with the help of Mantras which the participants will receive from Swami Ji. Thus Peace processes on all levels are induced.
Level III
“Confirmation of Peace power and passing on to others“
Giving energy to others does not mean losing own energy. How can I help others with the energy that I feel inside me? The third level will give answers to this question and show methods and ways to pass on the energy which was experienced and strengthened in the previous levels. If it is energy transfer by hands and touch, by breath or by mind power, the own energy of life must not be used else the healer will need Peace himself soon. The participants will receive support and guidance on how responsible energy transfer can take place and how it helps the person concerned without undermining own energy. In this way Peace is possible for you and for those around.
The Benefits of being Silence
Silence holds the key to a wholesome life, ultimate liberation and attainment of happiness. In silence we can get clarity about our visions and wishes, our patterns of thinking and feeling and how we act in our world. Silence is a tool which helps us know and experience fully who we are and what our purpose in life is.
Fear of Silence
In our modern world there is hardly ever complete silence. People also avoid silence and even seem to be afraid of it. There is always some background noise, whether that is traffic, music or a TV. It is difficult for some of us to be in silence because it so clearly brings up our own identity. We are so often playing a role and are actually embarrassed or ashamed of whom we are. We are not in peace with ourselves so we try to keep our mind busy with different kinds of input so that we do not have to think of who we really are.
Speech - the biggest consumer of our energy
When talking we are using a lot more oxygen than when we are in silence. Excessive talking causes energy burnout and lets our mind overheat which then in turn has effects on our reactions. We become angry and impatient, are not able to act calmly, coolly or rationally anymore. Also listening to people who talk a lot takes a lot of energy.
Communication in Silence
There can be many other ways to communicate with each other without using speech, Swami Ji believes that when two people meet it is possible to communicate on another level because communication is not just only by speech. It anyway happens all the time, just when two eyes meet. Words can only ever give a limited interpretation of our real feeling; words will never grasp the real sentiments of feelings and emotions.
Swami Ji’s Practice and Love of Silence
Swami Ji has been practicing silence at a very young age and spent times of three months up to one year alone and in silence in jungles and forests before and after entering the cave in 1989 for a three and a half months, practice of silence in the cave. But not only alone, he also spent times in silence while being in full company. Being in silence is both important and necessary for Swami Ji to exist in this world. Whether it is while traveling with his work or being at home at the Ashram he would encourage people to hug him or sit with him in silence from time to time.
Silence Therapy
Also in his counseling sessions Swami Ji works with silence therapy. Often he just lets the eyes and maybe a touch speak and express all that is inside. Whether it is fear or pain, sorrow or laughter, everything can be expressed in this way. After this experience people often feel very light as if they had a big weight taken off their shoulders
Darshan of Swamiji Sri Selvam Siddhar
A chakra meditation to open the heart chakra
The word Darshan comes from Sanskrit and means sight, looking, showing, teaching. Darshan also refers to the spiritual vision or awareness in which you experience the Divine inside your heart. It is a group meditation.
Swami Ji’s Darshan is a heart chakra meditation designed to bring back the feelings into life. He wants to give training for the mind not to control the feelings too much. He gives an introduction on how to come from head to heart so that blockages in the heart chakra can be dissolved. These blockages were created by suppressing feelings and emotions. For dissolving these blockages and the resulting problems Swami Ji wants to invite to a Darshan. You can start expressing your true self without shyness and with full honesty.
A healing meditation - what exactly will happen?
Swami Ji will guide into the meditation in which everyone will make a journey to his or her own heart. Swami Ji always points out that it is important to let all feelings flow that are inside of you.

Spiritual Guidance in Modern Life
Today's modern lifestyle brings many advantages such as super fast ways of transportation, devices of information that you can carry and access everywhere you are, media that brings the whole world close to you and much more. What is missing though, in this hectic and busy life which bombards you constantly with information and input that your brain has to process, are answers to the basics of life: why are we here, where are we going, what should we do in difficult situations? People are looking for spiritual guidance, they are searching for someone to show them the way and give them answers to their questions.
Unfortunately many turn to organizations and communities which promise help and support but instead manipulate and turn out to be sects or followers of dubious masters and gurus. Instead of receiving the answers they were looking for, people are often exploited and disappointed. This is how Swami Ji and Pundit Sharma JI encourage everyone who comes to them to find the truth and balance within themselves, not in the outside. They offer help and counseling on how you can find back to inner peace and harmony in life.
Spiritual Peace now called Spiritual Counseling
Have you landed here in your search for spiritual Peace? You are on the right page! Spiritual Peace is now called spiritual counseling.
A Spiritual Guide to Inner Peace - Swami Ji
Swami Ji has a long history of doing spiritual counseling and giving advice to those in distress. Even in the time of his 'Guru life', when he was giving initiations and lectures on Hindu scriptures, people used to come to him and ask him for advice which he could provide with the knowledge of the scriptures. Of course with time experience added to this knowledge and this is how he kept on consulting others in difficult situations of life even after he had left the traditional life of a Guru.
Helping others has always been that which made Swami Ji the most happy and this is how people come to him for getting advice for problems in their relationship, with family and friends or with the partner as well as business and health issues. He offers answers to energetical questions regarding the energy system in our body and the flow of energy through our chakras. If you come to Swami Ji with any question, any psychological problem or just for emotional support, you can share your feelings and thoughts with him. In his direct and honest way he may give you an answer to help you get rid of any confusion or he may do counseling in silence - just a way of sharing emotions, being together and giving support on an energetic level.
Swami Ji believes in the power of love and prayers. And a touch is love, just like a touch by a loving mother when she holds her baby in her hands. Doesn't this stop all crying and make all pain forgotten? Even a loving stroke over the back or holding the hands of someone who has much love towards you can give great relief. And the prayers that he will be saying are ancient mantras with which he was meditating during his three and a half years in the cave.
Swami Ji believes that there is not any problem that cannot be solved if you are honest. Honest to others as well as towards yourself and your feelings. Come for spiritual counseling with Pundit Sharma and you will reach clarity and harmony which
will finally give you a feeling of inner peace.
Apart from the physical aspects however he also got to know how these factors influence the situation of our mind and our emotions. People in the west often experience stress, negativity, depression and unstable emotional situations. Whether it is problems in relationships, in the family or with the own mind, body and life, Pundit Sharma Ji welcomes everyone who would like to share with him and get his counseling. With the background of the sciences of Yoga and Siddha, Siddha, his experience in counseling people, his open loving heart and his sensitiveness towards the feelings of others and of situations, you can be sure that Pundit Sharma Ji will help you in finding a way back to a calm and peaceful situation. He might give you small exercises and practical examples for the mind, guide you in conversation to the point of your feelings where you cannot reach on your own and support you on your way to a happy living full of love.
Uniqueness of Each Session
However your consultation will look like and whether you choose to have counseling by Pundit Sharma ji or Swami Ji, it will not be comparable to any other person's session before or after because we all are unique beings, with our own characters and feelings. We are in different situations and can handle them in different ways. Some of us may need more courage to do what others do without much effort; some of us need more self-esteem and self-confidence to be able to express emotions while others need help to control their overflow of emotions and expressions. Pundit Sharma ji as spiritual counselor always respond to each person individually, considering the current situation and the personality of the one in front of them. There is no general advice that fits for everybody.
Who will benefit from Spiritual Counseling?
Anybody can come to a spiritual consultation, be it for getting spiritual advice, sharing a difficult emotional situation, getting relief from pain or just being with someone who listens and feels. Swami Ji and Pundit Sharma JI can however show you the way to deal with your illness THROUGH SPIRITUAL REMEDY. They would love to give you an unbiased opinion on your situation if you ask for it or just lend their shoulder to lean on and cry on. You can find mental and emotional support.

Atharva Veda -Siddha Massage
Siddha massage is an ancient science which, although originated thousands of years ago, is still used as a treatment for many problems and ailments. Additionally to the nutrition suggestions, Siddha oil massages are recommended for relaxation of body and mind as well as for stimulation of nerves and muscles. Presently Swamiji Sri Selvam siddhar is the only Hindu in he whole north America who knows the secrets and a scholar of Atharva Vedic Siddha massage which is of thousands of years old kept secret.
In ancient times, Siddha massages were such a commonly known practice throughout India, that Siddha practitioners and clinics did not even offer them. People consulted Siddha doctors only for particular treatments and special needs in order to receive a specific treatment. Nowadays however you will find Siddha massage offers in all Siddha clinics and also in wellness spas.
Through the detoxifying process as well as the relaxation of the mind, Siddha massage also has a great effect on your mental and psychological state. When your mind can relax from the stress and overwhelming input of your surroundings, it has time to sort thoughts and emotions.
In Hindu traditions it is even today usual to give an Siddha massage to both, the bride and the groom, as a special ceremony that lets them relax and makes their skin soft and glow from inside. The soothing relaxation helps a couple - newlyweds or not - to share and give love. Siddha massages are thus even recommended for partners who wish to maintain a loving relationship.
Therapeutic Treatment
Today's busy, modern world offers many advantages but is at the same time a challenge for the human mind and body. Constant stress and pressure weigh heavy on our minds while long sitting and working hours as well as a permanently wrong posture give strain to our body. While a lot of people are disappointed with the treatment that allopathic medicine offers, those who have experienced Siddha Massages and procedures are often convinced by the results: they feel better, muscles could relax, strain and stress was lifted and pain could thus be reduced. These are the most common and recommended procedures: Pizhichil, Njavarakizhi, Abhayangam, Shirodhara, Shirovasti, Elakizhi and Ubatan.
Abhyangam- Siddhar style
Abhyangam is that what most people will imagine when they hear 'Siddha oil massage'. Herbal medicated oil is used to massage the entire body. While doing this, the therapist takes care to press the 107 vital points, called marmas, of the body.
This massage obviously has great benefits on the entire body. It enhances the blood circulation, it tones your muscles, rejuvenates your skin, strengthens the tissues and relaxes your nerves. Through the relaxation of the body your mind is soothed. Your body and immune system can resist influences from outside better. You have better sleep, your skin shines and you feel young and full of power.
Shirodhara- Siddhar style
Shirodhara is probably one of the most widely known Siddha treatments. It is a gentle massage as well as treatment in which oil with Siddha herbs is poured onto your forehead in a continuous stream.
The effect of Shirodhara is often described as a rarely experienced relaxation of the mind. Any stress and tension is relieved which has a relaxing effect on your mental and emotional situation. Shirodhara is thus strongly recommended for people suffering from insomnia, depression or burn-out. Sleep is improved, concentration gets easier and it can even change your general attitude towards more positivity.
If the therapist uses buttermilk instead of oil, the therapy is called Takradhara.
Pizhichil or Sarvangadhara- Siddhar style
’Pizhichil’ literally means squeezing. It is however not the body that is squeezed but a piece of cloth which the therapist dips periodically into a bowl containing warm oil with Siddha herbs. This oil is thus squeezed onto your body in a continuous stream over a longer period of time. The whole body except for head and neck thus experienced this warming and relaxing stream of oil.
Apart from its obvious soothing effect on the mind, Pizhichil relaxes the muscles of the whole body while the herbs reach deeper into the body tissues. Pizhichil is recommended for problems caused by the dosha Vata. It has beneficial effects for patients with muscle spasms, frequent cramps and even paralysis and hemiplegia.
Njavarakizhi- Siddhar style
In preparation for Njavarakizhi, oil with Siddha herbs is applied all over the body. After that you receive a massage with a warm bundle filled with Siddha herbs and medicine and dipped into warm milk.
The warmth, further supported by the Siddha massage and herbs, makes the body sweat out toxins. Through the rubbing with the bundle, dead skin is removed so that new skin can grow. This process not only makes your skin shine through the revitalisation and thus gives the impression of a rejuvenating therapy but also helps against certain skin disorders and impurities. Apart from this effect, Siddha suggests this therapy for all types of rheumatism, pain in the joints and arthritis. Its relaxing and soothing effect is helpful during the convalescence period after traumatic experiences. General weakness is another reason for an Siddha doctor to recommend this massage. Patients suffering from paralysis have experienced relief after repeated application of this and other treatments over a prolonged period of time.
Shirovasti- Siddhar style
Usually Snehana (oiling) and Swedana (sweating, for example through steam) is done before one starts a Shirovasti treatment. For Shirovasti, a crown or cap is formed out of a hard cloth that is then fixed with a paste to the head so that it can be filled from the top without leaking. Warm oil with Siddha herbs is filled into the cap and remains there for some time.
The benefits of this treatment go far from a relief of headaches and earache to a a distince improval of all sensory functions. The warm oil stimulates nerves at the top of your head and is thus recommended for diseases and problems connected with your cranial nerves. Siddha recommends the treatment for facial paralysis, cataract and glaucoma but also for schizophrenia, obsessive-compulsive disorders, memory loss, insomnia and disorientation. It is described as a Shamana treatment rather than a Shodhana treatment, which means that it alleviates problems rather than cure them completely.
Elakizhi- Siddhar style
For Elakizhi your therapist will prepare bundles of various herbs and herbal powder. These bundles are warmed in Siddha oils and then used for massaging your body.
Elakizhi is a therapy that revitalizes your skin. Blood circulation is increased and your body sweats out toxins. Your skin releases these toxins and through the massage, dead skin particles are removed. Swamiji also recommend this massage against joint pain, muscle cramps and arthritis. Of course the massage also reduces any stress levels in your body.
Ubatan- Siddhar style
Ubatan is a Beauty Massage. It is used to help the elderly and special techniques have been developed for young mothers as well as babies.All those treatments can be performed on a healthy person, too, simply to strengthen the immune system and giving back energy to the body. For patients, a Siddha doctor usually recommends different combinations of treatments and herbs. Specific Siddha massage therapies are used in certain therapeutic treatments like in Panchakarma purification.
If you would like to experience different Siddha massages and Siddha treatments, you are welcome to come to a Yoga and Siddha retreat to the Ashram.

Mantra
What is a Mantra?
The word 'Mantra' is a combination of two Sanskrit words 'Man' for 'Mananat' and 'Tra' for 'Trayate'. Mananat means constantly thinking of something, repeating it and having it in mind. Trayite means saving or doing good. A Mantra is thus something, a word, phrase or sound, that you repeat again and again which will save you and be good for you.
In which way can a Mantra help you?
Saying a Mantra can save you from negativity does not mean that you suddenly have some sort of supernatural power because of this Mantra which will protect you. Sound has a big influence on your mind and consciousness which is why it is used in many therapies and psychological Peace methods. You can feel yourself that you feel good when listening to beautiful and joyful music whereas other music styles can raise aggression. The sense behind repeating a Mantra is that it increases positivity inside you and reconditions your mind towards a positive attitude. It is a psychological process which helps you to a happier life.
Protection from Negativity
With the repetition of something positive, you will be positive and the repetition will help you to stay positive even if there is negativity around you. When you repeat a positive phrase about happiness, for example how beautiful the morning is, you will be in this happiness and even if there is a person who thinks it is a horrible day, you will remain in your good mood. The Mantra 'it is a beautiful morning' has saved you from losing your happiness.
Mantras for Illnesses and Diseases
Mantras for physical issues are not like a painkiller pill that you can chew and everything is fine. A Mantra helps you to have stability for your mind to deal with whatever comes up with this illness. Mantra meditation helps breaking old patterns of thinking and acting like the tendency to suffer. Instead it helps us to remain strong and fight the illness.
Can a Mantra harm you?
No, a Mantra cannot harm you and it cannot harm anybody else. Some people claim that they can give you a Mantra which will harm competitors and enemies but a Mantra is not a magic spell! A Mantra has in its name that it is doing something good for you.
What if I pronounce it wrong?
If you recite a Sanskrit Mantra it is just natural that you cannot pronounce it fully correctly at least in the beginning as it is not your mother tongue. After listening many times and with some practice you may be able to say it correctly but even if there are some sounds which do not exist in your language and which your tongue refuses to pronounce, there will be absolutely no harm done! Some people think Mantras work like magic spells in movies and fiction books where you have to say it correctly for it to work. It is the intention, the feeling and the love that count while you are saying your Mantra. If you say 'I am happy with my full heart' and you do not pronounce it correctly, you still know what you are saying and your heart feels happy and light, so don't worry, you cannot do anything wrong.
How to choose a Mantra?
You also have the possibility to receive a personal Mantra chosen for you by Swami Ji. Please call Swamiji Sri Selvam Siddhar @ 408 829 7780 in USA
Be a vegetarian
You don't need to kill to still your hunger!
We need to take care of our environment, the people and beings living around us and the generations to come after us. There are many reasons to be vegetarian. One of them is that from the amount of grains that are planted to feed cattle which is only raised for being killed, we could feed millions of starving people on the whole world. These animals are only raised to be killed. As a human person you need to have sensitivity in your heart, a love for each living being. How can you kill an innocent animal just to feed your stomach? They have a right to live just like us. We should take care and protect animals and the environment but what is happening is that we are destroying and exploiting. Do something against it! Becoming vegetarian, choosing not to eat meat but a healthy vegetarian diet is thus not only good for yourself, your health and body but also for your environment.
You are what you eat
Whatever you eat, whatever you put into your stomach, it will reflect on your body and mind and in this way on your physical as well as your mental health. Eating is not just filling your stomach like filling a garbage bin. Food is not only food, it is vitamins, minerals, fibres, carbohydrates, proteins and more which our body needs not only to survive but also to be in balance and be healthy and strong which then of course has an impact on our mind and overall being. So you need to take care what you take into your body, it will be part of your system. A balanced vegetarian diet is the solution.
Why you should be vegetarian and not eat meat
Vegetarian Food is not boring! Delicious Vegetarian Recipes, Vegetarian Cooking Workshops and Retreats
You read this whole page, are convinced of everything above but just have one more problem: you think vegetarian food is just boring? That is another common misconception in the West where some people believe, vegetarians just leave away the meat and eat the side-dishes instead. That would be indeed boring. However there is a great range of delicious vegetarian dishes prepared with a variety of vegetables and spices. As a big part of the Indian population lives vegetarian, the Indian kitchen offers many vegetarian recipes with which you will definitely never get boring. India is the home country of Siddha, and this is how many commonly cooked dishes have a high nutritional value as well. In Siddha Cooking Workshops Swamiji Sri Selvam Siddhar teaches the preparation of Siddha food. Alternatively you can get first-hand experience by participating in an Siddha Cooking Retreat in India and get to know many vegetarian dishes for your wholesome meal. We have collected some of these vegetarian recipes online, too. Enjoy eating healthy and nutritious food in harmony with nature, environment and the animals around you.
How eating meat harms your health
Eating meat, which means any kind of flesh food including fish and poultry, has several harmful effects on your body. Apart from the fact that a non-vegetarian diet often contains more fat than the body needs or can use, the meat also contains hormones, herbicides, pesticides and antibiotics due to the way that the animals were kept. All of these substances enter your body while eating and your body needs to work to get rid of all of them again. But of course some enter the body and together with other harmful substances which were created during the preparation they increase major chronic diseases like cancer, heart disease, kidney disease and osteoporosis.
It is not only on our body that eating meat has negative effects; our emotions and our mind also are affected by it. If you take the saying 'you are what you eat' and you see people who eat animals, then watch them and see that the saying is true. A meat-eater often has more easily emotions like anger and aggression. And many people are aware of what they are doing - killing to eat. And the minutes of death of the animal that you are eating are with you whenever you take a bite.
Health benefits of a vegetarian diet
In the west there is still the wrong perception that eating meat is necessary for your health. On the contrary a proper vegetarian diet gives you more energy, keeps your body healthy and free of toxins. Studies and researches have found that vegetarians live longer and more healthily than meat-eaters.
If you keep a diet with vegetables, grains, legumes, fruits and lentils or beans, you have everything your body needs: vitamins, fibres and with lentils or beans also enough proteins. A healthy vegetarian diet together with regular exercise is associated with less obesity, lower blood cholesterol levels, lower blood pressure and resulting from that less heart disease, diabetes, cancer, stroke and finally mortality. It is simple: vegetarians live longer!
Nature and Destiny of our Body
Our body is not made for eating meat. If you look at the jaw of carnivores, like tigers or dogs, you see that they have teeth for hunting and tearing apart meat and bones. The teeth of herbivores however, such as cows or horses, are made for grinding grains and chewing vegetables. And if you compare our jaw, you will find that it is much more similar to the jaw of horses or cows. Our teeth are just not made for non-vegetarian food.
It is not only our teeth but also our intestines which are made for a vegetarian diet. Our intestinal tract is longer than that of carnivores, so that we can digest grains and greens. Carnivores have to pass the raw meat that they eat through their intestines quickly as it has lots of bacteria which can harm the body. Our whole body, our metabolism and the entire system is not made for eating meat.
Heal Body & Mind
Learn to heal yourself
In the three seminars of The Law of Peace (Level I to III) you can get to know how everybody can apply these laws on his life and thus start, continue and anchor positive changes in life. Attention will be paid on the physical, the mental and the spiritual part. The frequency of the vibration on earth was increasing significantly during the past years and still is. This makes it possible and necessary for everyone to develop his consciousness in order to heal himself.
Pundit Sharma Ji teaches the ways to self-Peace. During a meditative retreat of more than three years isolated from the world, he adjusted his own energy to these new frequencies. This intensive retreat did not only help him to fully realize his connection to the universe but also induced him to spread this energy all over the world. Swami Ji’s Peace work is based on the interaction of body, mind and soul. Every physical and psychological problem derives from blockages in the etheric body. Everyone is able to use this power to dissolve blockages and to heal the entity of body, mind and soul.
In spring 2002 he met Dr. Narendra Dev for the first time. He is medical specialist in psychosomatic medicine and psychotherapy and has been working successfully in his practice for the last 20 years. With this encounter an intensive exchange of thoughts and experiences of spiritual Peace methods started which resulted in the development of the series of seminars The Law of Peace. Already at the beginning of his clinical work he discovered a strong flow of energy between his hands which, when he put his hand on aching body parts, soothed pain and sometimes even freed patients from pain. Several expeditions through Europe, to the USA and above all to India provided him with explanatory approaches and helped him on his search for new and more effective treatments, which he could not get in numerous specialist trainings. With these treatments he helps people to recognize and change old and negative patterns of thoughts and thus heals their mind from self-created problems.
As body, mind and soul influence each other permanently The Law of Peace will also give attention to the physical aspect. Swami Ji’s grew up in an environment of spirituality and developed already in his youth great interest in the physical aspects of a Peace process. He became expert in exercises and techniques, like Mudras (gestures) and breathing techniques, which support the change of energy in the body as well as in the mind.
The Law of peace gives you the possibility to reconnect with the eternal source of Peace inside yourself. This unique training course helps you to create a great inner strength, which you can use for yourself and your life but also for the support and the Peace of others.
Level I
“Recognizing the inner source of Peace and the new Peace frequencies“
This seminar of two days helps beginners and those who are already experienced in working with Peace energies to connect with their own inner source of Peace and the new Peace frequencies. Swami Ji will gently introduce the participants to the energy and help them to connect with it. As soon as this connection is made, Peace takes place. Pundit Sharma Ji will help you to recognize and to change old, negative patterns of thinking and thus heal your mind from self-creates problems. Pundit Sharma Ji, expert in yogic exercises, teaches among others Mudras (gestures) and breathing exercises which softly support the change of energy in the body.
Level II
“Approach and dissolving of energy blockages with the new Peace frequencies“
How can I target the energy of the source in me to resolve blockages? At the second weekend the participants will get to know ways and tools to concentrate the active Peace energy inside them and to direct it to body parts which are in pain. In these body parts there are blockages in which the energy is very dense. The blockages can be dissolved by the fine penetrating energy that is sent there. In order to do this the participants will go on a journey through their body, visit places where blockages hinder the flow of energy and release the pure and powerful light energy. Physical as well as psychic problems can be treated in this way. The power from inside ourselves can be strengthened with the help of Mantras which the participants will receive from Swami Ji. Thus Peace processes on all levels are induced.
Level III
“Confirmation of Peace power and passing on to others“
Giving energy to others does not mean losing own energy. How can I help others with the energy that I feel inside me? The third level will give answers to this question and show methods and ways to pass on the energy which was experienced and strengthened in the previous levels. If it is energy transfer by hands and touch, by breath or by mind power, the own energy of life must not be used else the healer will need Peace himself soon. The participants will receive support and guidance on how responsible energy transfer can take place and how it helps the person concerned without undermining own energy. In this way Peace is possible for you and for those around.
The Benefits of being Silence
Silence holds the key to a wholesome life, ultimate liberation and attainment of happiness. In silence we can get clarity about our visions and wishes, our patterns of thinking and feeling and how we act in our world. Silence is a tool which helps us know and experience fully who we are and what our purpose in life is.
Fear of Silence
In our modern world there is hardly ever complete silence. People also avoid silence and even seem to be afraid of it. There is always some background noise, whether that is traffic, music or a TV. It is difficult for some of us to be in silence because it so clearly brings up our own identity. We are so often playing a role and are actually embarrassed or ashamed of whom we are. We are not in peace with ourselves so we try to keep our mind busy with different kinds of input so that we do not have to think of who we really are.
Speech - the biggest consumer of our energy
When talking we are using a lot more oxygen than when we are in silence. Excessive talking causes energy burnout and lets our mind overheat which then in turn has effects on our reactions. We become angry and impatient, are not able to act calmly, coolly or rationally anymore. Also listening to people who talk a lot takes a lot of energy.
Communication in Silence
There can be many other ways to communicate with each other without using speech, Swami Ji believes that when two people meet it is possible to communicate on another level because communication is not just only by speech. It anyway happens all the time, just when two eyes meet. Words can only ever give a limited interpretation of our real feeling; words will never grasp the real sentiments of feelings and emotions.
Swami Ji’s Practice and Love of Silence
Swami Ji has been practicing silence at a very young age and spent times of three months up to one year alone and in silence in jungles and forests before and after entering the cave in 1989 for a three and a half months, practice of silence in the cave. But not only alone, he also spent times in silence while being in full company. Being in silence is both important and necessary for Swami Ji to exist in this world. Whether it is while traveling with his work or being at home at the Ashram he would encourage people to hug him or sit with him in silence from time to time.
Silence Therapy
Also in his counseling sessions Swami Ji works with silence therapy. Often he just lets the eyes and maybe a touch speak and express all that is inside. Whether it is fear or pain, sorrow or laughter, everything can be expressed in this way. After this experience people often feel very light as if they had a big weight taken off their shoulders
Darshan of Swamiji Sri Selvam Siddhar
A chakra meditation to open the heart chakra
The word Darshan comes from Sanskrit and means sight, looking, showing, teaching. Darshan also refers to the spiritual vision or awareness in which you experience the Divine inside your heart. It is a group meditation.
Swami Ji’s Darshan is a heart chakra meditation designed to bring back the feelings into life. He wants to give training for the mind not to control the feelings too much. He gives an introduction on how to come from head to heart so that blockages in the heart chakra can be dissolved. These blockages were created by suppressing feelings and emotions. For dissolving these blockages and the resulting problems Swami Ji wants to invite to a Darshan. You can start expressing your true self without shyness and with full honesty.
A healing meditation - what exactly will happen?
Swami Ji will guide into the meditation in which everyone will make a journey to his or her own heart. Swami Ji always points out that it is important to let all feelings flow that are inside of you. In this way there is wonderful energy during a Darshan. When people open their hearts, some of them are laughing, others dancing, others are crying because their pain is finally released. People sense a calm and loving energy, which leads to inner peace. The blockages are dissolved and the physical problems eased with this healing of the heart chakra.
Anyone can come to a Darshan with Swami ji to raise the energy levels in their chakras and to open their hearts. Darshan is also suitable for those who have had an individual counselling with him and wish to maintain the resulting energies for a longer period of time.
Swami ji makes this heart chakra meditation available to everyone free of charge. Donations for the Temple , Ashram and his charitable projects are welcome.
