As one of the first chants I learned at Shree Muktananda Ashram over thirty years ago, Gurudeva Hamara Pyara holds a deep and dear place in my heart’s memory. And as I savored the beautiful balance of voices and musicians in this recording, I felt the warmth spread throughout my whole body—just as it has every time I have chanted this divine hymn.
After it ended, I was in a state of reverie, interrupted only by the thought that if I had to choose just one hymn to embody the essence of the Siddha Yoga teachings, this would be the one I would choose.

I sing this amazing hymn each day at the conclusion of my morning meditation and prayers. It gives me guidance and blessings each day.
Today I read the translation of each verse, and tears welled up in my eyes; I experienced the bliss of the Siddhas, who have awakened the divine energy within and are the support of my life.
I am grateful beyond words to our beloved Gurus for their compassion and love for humanity.

After chanting Gurudeva Hamara Pyara this morning, I sat absorbing its sweet resonance. I had the awareness that all the material details of my life are taken care of, that my life is assured, and that my part is to turn my attention to the daily interactions I have with others to make sure they are kind and loving—and, when I am alone, to honor myself.

Today as I sang this hymn, I felt carried by a flow of grace that protects me from pitfalls and fear. I truly felt the sacredness of the words, as if every word was dancing on the tip of my tongue and in my heart. I experienced once again the great power of the Siddha Yoga practices, which allow us to experience the Truth.
