Samavarti
14th Jan to 13th FebSince we owe everything to Pujya Lalaji Maharaj it is but prudent to start the year with his name. More so because it is during this month (Magha Suddha Panchami according to the Indian calendar) he descended on earth. We know that He is most Just and Benevolent and it is therefore proper to call this month Samavarti. It gives hope to us that all that happens during this year will be just and God ordained and we with absolute faith in the Master continue our sadhana.
| Date | Thought of the day | Reference |

| 14 Jan | Our first and the foremost commandment relates to the proper observance of Sandhya and Upasana. By following it we begin to draw in power which we have finally to attain due course. | BWS 130 |
| 15 Jan | There must be yielding attitude towards the master. | SDG 49 |

| 17 Jan | We proceed with meditation on the heart thinking of the Divine Light within, and by so doing we gradually begin to rise or to express it better, to dive deep into the inner consciousness. | SDG 59 |
| 18 Jan | Meditation really means that the mind may be accustomed to the centre itself instead of wandering elsewhere. Meditation on heart is prescribed for that purpose. | SDG 49 |

| 22 Jan | We should utilize this occasion in getting into the Master and Master alone, which will act as food and tonic for spiritual elevation. | SDG 29 |
| 23 Jan | If we try to retain the effect gained by meditation for the most part of the day, and abide in the same state for as long as we can, we are in a way in constant remembrance of God and our progress is easy and rapid. | SS 307 |
| 24 Jan | The mind, which in its primordial state was absolutely pure and regulated has now been spoiled and polluted by our wrong ways and doings. | SDG 19 |

| 26 Jan | The grace of my Master Supreme has enabled us again to assemble here and feel the cozy warmth of the sunshine of His everlasting benignance. | SDG 35 |
| 27 Jan | Complications also arise by the effect of our wrong thinking and practice, which we have to clear off through the process of cleaning. | SDG 98 |
| 28 Jan | It (the process of cleaning) will help you in purging your mind and make you receptive of the efficacious influence of our great Master. | SS 136 |
| 29 Jan | The density of the thought can only be removed if we take to the subtle method. | SDG 62 |

| 1 Feb | When you acquire a state of permanency in your meditation, touching the innermost plane, the idea of the Ultimate or God becomes quite near you. | SDG 161 |
| 2 Feb | Now since times are changing, as I have hinted at in 'Efficacy of Raj Yoga', only such means as introduced by our Revered Master Mahatma Ram Chandraji shall be in vogue throughout the world. | SDG 84 |
| 3 Feb | You should only meditate. You should not struggle with the ideas and thoughts which generally come in during meditation. | SS 136 |

| 10 Feb | The external ways adopted for the purpose (attainment of purity) began to cast their effect upon the mind and thus the internal purity too began to develop. | BWS 129 |
| 11 Feb | Purity starts from being and impurities are the result of the wrong suggestions and improper utilization of the inner environment. | SDG 31 |
