Weekly drops of wisdom from the banks of Mother Ganga

The Biggest Meditation MistakeDearest Parmarth Family,

Dearest Parmarth Family,

Have you ever sat down to meditate, only to find your mind becoming louder?

Suddenly there are more thoughts, more emotions, more restlessness, more “stuff” than ever before.

And perhaps you’ve wondered: Am I doing something wrong?

So many people come to meditation hoping it will make the anxiety disappear, quiet the mind, solve the problem, remove the waves.

But what if that was never the purpose?

What if the real gift of meditation is not what most of us think it is?

In this short teaching, I share one of the most important shifts in understanding meditation that I have learned on my own spiritual journey—a shift that can transform frustration into freedom and change the way you relate to your thoughts, emotions, and the ups and downs of life.

If you’ve ever struggled with meditation, felt discouraged by it, or wondered why peace seems so elusive, I hope you’ll take a few minutes to watch.

You may discover that the goal was never to stop the waves.

With love and peace from the holy banks of Mother Ganga,
In Sacred Service,




Sadhvi Bhagawati Saraswati
