T hank you for being part of the 7Chakram (“7C”) family throughout 2014 and creating the most amazing

year for us with your services, volunteering and contributions. We are blessed to have you with us.

2014 was a great year filled with many events. We continued to successfully increase the awareness of 7C. We

strengthened our ties with various organizations such as Persatuan Bhagawathy Malaysia Berhad, Pure Life So-

ciety and Cansurvive Malaysia. Our esteemed Swami Guru Sri Kriyathasa Sekar was the guest of honor for

many events organized by these well-known organizations. Also invited to talk at events, the messages deliv-

ered by our esteemed Guruji served to attract more 7C family members. Many have expressed their wish to

obtain these talks, which will be available soon as part of the 2015 journey. We would also like to express our

sincerest appreciation to those who volunteered for these events.

Our main highlight of the year was the amazing Navarathiri Celebrations in which our beloved family paid a

beautiful tribute to Divine Mother. The 10-day celebration of love to Divine Mother, created an amazing joy in

everyone’s heart. A special thank you goes out to all the masters and students of the traditional arts who graced

us with their Divine gifts of song and dance. The 7C family expanded during Navarathiri and contributions

from each one of you is greatly appreciated. May all of you be blessed always.

Our annual retreat was another successful event which truly benefitted the 21 participants who were blessed

with an insight of themselves, their surroundings and their purpose in Life.

7C also expanded its teachings to different parts of the country and region. We conducted discourses in Tai-

ping, Port Dickson and also in Bali and Jakarta. This effort to bring more awareness of the simplicity of living

the human Life while enjoying the most out of Life will continue in 2015.

2015 Charter

While 7C is comfortable with the progress we have made so far, we have also taken a moment to reflect on

ourselves on how we could do more to create the awareness of Life to a larger group effectively.

Guruji, with The Divine’s guidance has chartered a new theme to deliver the teachings of Life, for Life, to the

world.

Starting 2015, we will emphasize more on the celebrations of Life from various perspectives. As enhancing the

value of Life that we already have is the core teaching of 7C, it only makes sense that we focus on Life.

7Chakram will be known as a

“Life Realization Centre”,

a first of its kind in the world.

3

The focus of all activities will be on the objectives to be achieved from the events. The events that are

lined up for 2015 are as follows:

Life Coaching and Meditation sessions These are weekly meditation sessions conducted every Thursdays and Sundays. The Life coaching sessions help in under-standing current challenges in Life and learning simple steps to overcome it easily.

Body-Life Alignment & Rejuvenation sessions These are weekly yoga sessions conducted every Wednesdays and Saturdays, with more emphasis placed on rejuvenating the body from within.

Life-Universe Alignment These sessions are great energy-filled sessions that will invoke the universal energy vibrations which has the ability to bal-ance our aura and inner energies. There are 6 such sessions planned throughout 2015.

Gratitude of Life A unique session conducted on the shores of Port Dickson during Full moon. It gives us the opportunity to express our gratitude to Life and intentions to The Great Divine. We have planned 6 sessions throughout the year.

LETs Release This is a Life Emotional Traumas releasing session. Deep rooted traumas that inhibit our progress will be released, un-leashing our inner strength. It also opens up our ability to adapt to society and see Life with a new beautiful perspective. We hope you will join us for any one of the 7 sessions planned.

Life Realization Retreat We have planned 4 Life Realization retreats in 2015. A rare opportunity to discover amazing truth and abilities locked within oneself. Inner journey sessions should not be missed.

Celebrations of Life sessions In our multi-cultural multi-religious society, we come across many different practices in the way we pray. “Celebrations of Life” sessions allow us to understand Divinity and create an opportunity for us to celebrate Them with love and gratitude.

There are many more events planned namely our Life-Spiritual exploration tour in February 2015 to Kochin,

Mysore and Tirupati, India.

We will also begin our Life-Community programs where we will be connecting with the elderly as well as the

young and celebrating Life with them. Please do not miss our quarterly newsletter “Life thru Wisdom” to keep

yourself updated on the events. We have started registration for volunteers for our Life Community programs.

You will be amazed on how big an impact you can create in someone’s Life by just making a small sacrifice of

time.

We wish all of you and your loved ones a happy and blessed 2015. May all of us be blessed with greater suc-

cess, greater health and wealth, happiness, joy, peace and love always. May we all have a pure heart always.

Wishing you a Blessed 2015. Happy New Year. Do visit us at www.7Clife.org for more information.

Full Moon Gratitude Session

The last Full Moon Gratitude Session took place on 5 December 2014, at the beachside in Port Dickson.

More than 30 members joined us in this event. Together with the slight breeze of the sea and cool waters,

participants enjoyed the gratitude session to the Universe, which was followed by a simple and yet

scrumptious snacks provided for all. Members were also blessed with a short discourse conducted by

Guruji on the benefits of attending the full moon gratitude session. Here are some pictures of the event:

Sri Chakra Pooja (Sahasranama Kungkuma Archanai) & Birthday Celebration of Kriya

Babaji

6 December 2014 was an auspicious celebration observed by 7Chakram. Starting off with the Sri Chakra

Pooja at 4.00 p.m, the auspicious day was continued with the celebration of the birthday of Kriya Babaji.

Members were treated with a scrumptious array of mouthwatering delicacies. An event truly enjoyed by

all, here are some photos that we would like to share with all.

Always full of wisdom, these words are from Swami Guru Sri Kriyathasa Sekar who is always delivering much needed messages for all of us. Taken from daily conversations, emails and messages, we hope these messages from Guruji will help you with your daily undertakings. “ Why do you need to seek when you do not know what to seek?”. “ We are truly blessed. Just knowing it, does not do justice to God’s love. Living the blessings with God’s consciousness is the only way to live and express our Love to THEM” “A relationship established with a purpose will not have love. A friendship established for a purpose, is not a friendship at all. Love and embrace all for just Love, and for who they are. Not for who you expect them to be”.

“Always remember that all this was never meant to be permanent”. “Bakthi is Love to God. If you Love God above yourself, then that is the highest form of Bakthi. In Bakthi, you are always there for God, not that you wanting God to be there for you. Then, In Bakthi, there is no “you” anymore. When there is no “you” or “I” anymore, there will only be God. Then, In Bakthi, you will realize that God is everywhere and in everyone. Then, In Bakthi, you will realize that God is everything and everyone. Then, If you love God in that form, that is the highest level of Bakthi”.

The seventh chakra in our chakra system is the Sahasrara chakra. The highest of the seven major chakras, this chakra is located on the crown of the head.

Sahasrara (Sahasra= one thousand; sahasrara= the Lotus of the Thousand Petals)

The crown chakra is our energetic passageway from the consciousness to the experience of our Higher Self. It is our connection to the Divine, to absolute freedom and the collective unconscious. This chakra gives us the opportunity to experience completeness. The age of development for this chakra is during adulthood.

What is the Crown chakra?

Located at the top of the head (the crown) the Sahasrara chakra represents:

♦ Your intuitive knowledge

♦ Deeper understanding

♦ Strong spiritual links

♦ Experience of “Higher Self”

♦ Discovery of Divine “mysteries”

♦ Experience of Completeness

The symbolism of the infinite number of petals

Though named the Lotus of the Thousand Petals, the Sahasrara chakra has an infinite number of radiant petals. The light emanating from this chakra comprises of all colours of the rainbow, including colours that is beyond the comprehension of the human eye. In Indian tradition, the number one thousand represents the Infinite. The Sahasrara chakra presides over all aspects of the vital energy in all living beings. It is a flower” of infinite energy rays.

“Life is a Journey” is a saying that many of us have heard before. Most of the time we relate this saying to the good things that happen in life. But do we really understand or know what this journey is? Do we know the destination of this journey? In today’s Life Coaching article, Guruji helps us understand the “journey” of Life, the destination of this journey and two important aspects that affect this “journey”: complacency and procrastination. The Journey of Life Let us talk about the Divine in the temples, churches and mosques. Do you think the Divine came to live in

the churches after it was built? Or was the Divine already in the hearts of everybody who wanted to build

the church? Did the Divine move out of the hearts of the people and live in the church after it was built? Did the Divine stop living in the hearts of the people?

The simple truth is that the Divine is always everywhere. The church, mosque and temple are places for us

to celebrate the Divine. It is not where the Divine lives. If the Divine does not live in us, we would not be

able celebrate the Divine, no matter if we go to the biggest temple, church or mosque. Just like people who

go for their Haj. Is the Divine there in Mekah, or is it in their hearts’ intent for them to go there? The Divine is everywhere. There is no need for validation. This is the truth. The minute we try to validate, the Divine

will disappear. Why? Because we do not want to believe the truth. When we do not believe, then there is

no Divine to be believed in. So what is the point of validating something that we do not believe? We might

as well just admit that we do not believe. That is an easier validation than saying “I believe but I need

proof”.

Now let us talk about complacency and procrastination: Imagine we

need to go on a journey, and we are standing at a certain spot.

Complacency is about not making a stand. We do not make the

journey our “own”. Procrastination on the other hand, is saying “I

will reach there” while still standing there, not doing anything

further. We acknowledge the journey is ours to make, but do not

make an effort to do anything else. Believe me, we have to make the

effort. Why? First, we need to make a stand. We must take

responsibility and acknowledge that it is our journey to make. Secondly, we need to have a destination to

go to. We must know it is our journey and we need to complete it. When we stand in one place for a long

time, our legs will become numb and we would not even know whether we are standing or moving. When

this happens in our “journey”, there is no value for that existence anymore.

Procrastination is just to shed time. Imagine a journey where we have to climb 10,000 feet up a mountain.

We wake up, we acknowledge the 10,000 feet climb, but do nothing about it. We do this for days, but still

have the same 10,000 feet to climb. We continue doing that and realize that we will never reach the peak.

So how do we reach the peak in our Life’s journey? More importantly, how do we understand Life in our

journey?

Life Coaching

13

If we are going to Penang, and have reached Penang, are we going to talk about having to make the

journey to Penang after reaching the destination? Once we are in Penang, we will enjoy the trip and do

what we need to do. We would not talk about “having to travel to Penang”, or that “I took 3 hours to

come here, paid toll, went through this and that….”. We are already here. This is the “there” that we needed to go to. Since we are already here, just do what we need to do.

But instead, what are we doing? We complain: “but the Divine, I am suffering, I had 3 hours, I took a long

trip here”. We talk about our past karmas. Why do we need to talk about these? We are already “there”.

We are already here. Do what we are supposed to do here. And what are we supposed to do here?

Firstly, realize that we are already here.

Secondly, Live it. Live and be happy. Do you know why this is the only

place you can be happy? Because only as a human being can you have

the emotional chamber which is called the Heart. This is the only way

to be able to feel happiness. Without the existence of the physical

body and the heart, happiness cannot be felt. So accept that you are

here to feel joy. After the soul leaves the body, it would not be able feel

happiness. It would not have a heart to feel. This is the truth.

Once the soul leaves the body, the Divine will ask the soul “Did you feel the joy and allow the joy from the physical body to evolve the soul,

to enable it to vibrate at a very much lighter frequency, allowing you to merge with me?” If the answer is

No, then you will come back. You will be reborn.

So how to bring that joy so great that it enables us to vibrate at the same frequency as the Divine? We

need to create joy for ourselves, to create joy from within and allow that joy to vibrate to everybody else.

Share that joy. Create a pure heart. In that purity, the soul vibrates at a lighter frequency. We would not

have any negativity. There will be no density. Everything will be so light, it becomes evolved. The Divine

will then say “Ah, you are now aligned with me. Merge”. And this is when we will merge. That is it. No

thoughts, no heart, no emotion. Just Be. This is part of the living.

The only way to merge with the Divine is to vibrate at a much higher frequency. The only difference

between us and the Divine being is the frequency of vibration that we are at now. We need to realize that we are already this Divine spiritual being. So what do we need to do here? Just be happy and enjoy

life.

There is no need to wait to be happy. Why wait to be joyous? Why wait to enjoy life? What are we

waiting for? What are you waiting for? Waiting for something else to happen? “It” has already

happened. What happened? You were born! That is all that was needed to happen for us to enjoy life. Be born. You have already reached the destination. And what do we need to do when we have reached the

destination? Be happy.

How to be happy? Everybody is saying “If they are happy, I am happy”. YOU be happy first. Just be

happy. How do we be happy? How do we trigger happiness in us? The simplest way to trigger happiness:

SMILE. Who could possibly cry and smile at the same time? Even the statement brings amusement,

because it is impossible to do.

…..continuation of Life Coaching

14

Even if it is for a split second, you need to realize that you are smiling. And your Smile is very powerful. If

you smile, somebody else smiles back. This is what it means to “allow the happiness to vibrate to others”.

And when you see the happiness being sent back to you by people smiling back at you, it gives you a

sense of calmness. This increases the levels of purity. As simple as that. This is the secret of Life. We do

not need to worry about petrol prices, GST or even accidents. There is nothing to worry about. Life goes

on. No matter what happens, keep smiling.

Being part of 7 Chakram has changed life positively for all. Many have been part of 7Chakram since it was

founded. Today, we have testimonials from two family members who have not only experienced many positive changes in their life, but who also are very much a part of each and every activity conducted here.

“ Being part of 7C has been a great blessing. Our revered Guruji has guided me on how to understand the true essence of life, to

look at everything in a positive way only and the understanding of how powerful our mind is and what kind of impact a single

negative or positive thought can have in our day to day life. The life coaching sessions have been a great eye opener in many

aspects of life, especially those we have taken for granted. It is also a great session where everyone have learnt and understood

about life a great deal from the answers that Guruji has given for questions asked.

Meditation sessions have helped in bringing the mind to a focus and reducing stress to a great deal. These are amazing relaxing

sessions. All the activities organized by 7C are aimed at teaching us to live our life the right way, with the power of knowing.

7C has taught me that life is simple and beautiful. We are extremely blessed to have such a life, which we should have gratitude

for and cherish. My innermost gratitude to Guruji for all His guidance.”

-Darshini-

“The most important thing that I’ve learnt/experienced in 7c is, how the teachings are delivered, in the most simplistic and

comprehensive manner. Guruji’s Life Coaching sessions are, nothing short of Divine. Every questions that are put forth to

Guruji, are addressed with extremely, easy-to-understand answers. When we put to practice these teachings,…. as what Guruji

constantly reminds us, life actually becomes, simple. Life has become more simpler, now for me…Thanks to 7c and more

importantly to Guruji, for his invaluable teachings.
