 " Start Sadhana Now" - Sri Swami Sivananda
"Act now. Live now. Know now. Realize now. Be
happy now.
Every death is a reminder. Every bell that rings says, "The end is near". Every day robs off from you one part of your precious life. Therefore, you should be very earnest in plunging yourself in constant Sadhana. Never fall a victim to fruitless regret. Today is the best day. Today is the day of your new birth. Start Sadhana now. With folded palms, bid good-bye to past mistakes and faults. You have learnt your lessons. March forward now with new hope, determination, and vigilance"......... "Waver not. Fear not. Doubt not. Do something substantial in the path of Sadhana instead of wasting your time in idle pursuits and lethargy. You have infinite strength within you. There is a vast reservoir of power within you. Therefore, do not lose heart. Obstacles are stepping stones to success. They will develop your will. Do not allow yourself to be crushed by them. Defects remind you of perfection. Sin reminds you of virtue. Chose the positive path"............ Sadhana is spiritual movement consciously systematized. Sadhana is the purpose for which we have come to this place. Abhyasa and Sadhana are synonymous terms. The object of Sadhana is to release life from the limitations with which it is bound. Sadhana is a lifelong process. Every day, every hour, every minute, is an onward march. Obstacles are innumerable in this great voyage. But, so long as you hold God as thy guide, there is nothing to worry about. You are sure to reach the other shore." ........- Swami Sivananda << Read More>>

Early Morning Meditation talks from "Ponder These
Truths" by Sri Swami Chidananda
“Wake up at dawn each day to salute the Universal
Being. Bow down in adoration unto Him before you
start the day. Go through the day serenely, full of
happiness and contentment. There is nothing to
condemn in this world. Change your angle of vision.
Forego a grudge. Forgive an enemy. Stop anxiety and
smile gently unto yourself. Feel that the whole
world is the manifestation of the Lord and you are
serving the Lord in all these names and forms.
Convert life into Yoga. Strive to be a Sadachari and
paropakari. God walks with the simple, reveals
Himself through the sufferer, gives understanding to
the noble and keeps His Grace from the haughty. So
renounce ego, cultivate virtues and be free. Keep
the mind always calm and peaceful. Be the conqueror
of your mind, the subduer of your desires and a
master of your destiny, for you are the master.”
"When you wake up in the morning, you wake up into
something very special. This emergence should
constitute for you a rebirth into sadhana. In this
new birth there should be no more slackness, no more
pretence, and no more half-heartedness. Therefore,
may we be reborn not once, not twice, but again and
again until there is no longer any necessity or need
for any such rebirth or re-emergence.”- Swami
Chidananda ”

Yoga postures pertaining to individual diseases,
benefits of various kinds of Pranayam, Yoga Nidra,
Meditation and more....the presentation is in
Gujarati but, all will gather the essence of the
teaching.
Surya Namaskara or Sun Salutation ("salute to the
sun"), is a common sequence of Hatha Yoga asanas.
Its origins lie in a worship of Surya, the Hindu
Solar deity. This sequence of movements and poses
can be practised on varying levels of awareness,
ranging from that of physical exercise in various
styles, to a complete sadhana, which incorporates
asana, pranayama, mantra and chakra meditation.
The physical base of the practice links together
twelve asanas in a dynamically performed series.
These asanas are ordered so that they
alternately stretch the spine backwards and
forwards. When performed in the usual way, each
asana is moved into with alternate inhalation
and exhalation (except for the sixth asana where
the breath is held in external suspension). A
full round of Surya namaskara is considered to
be two sets of the twelve poses with a change in
the second set to moving the opposite leg first
through the series.

support. He was a favorite sishya
(disciple) of Guru Maharaj Sri Swami Chidananda
JI Maharaj..... He was a master organizer, a
karmayogi & so much more, all in one. Whatever
you say, how much you say about him is less,
speech stops,....Jai Ho Swami Sivanandaji
Maharaj! Jai ho Swami Chidananda JI Maharaj! Jai
ho Swami Adhyatmanandji Maharaj!" - H. H. Sri

Krishnanandji, you glorify Swami Chidanandji and you
glorify Gurudev Swami Sivanandji Maharaj. As a

student career and then after also becoming a monk
Swamiji has been always a support to me." - Revered
Sri Swami Brahmnisthananda (Jagganath Puri) "It is always a joy to receive Sri Swami Adhyatmananda ji Maharaj at Anoopam Mission.

Quotes & Essenceof Teachings of Teachings of
Pujya Swamiji Maharaj
"We are born, death is inevitable. Journey
between birth and death is not Life, it is a
slow journey towards death. Life we have to
find. Life lived in the pursuit of SELF
realization is the Goal of Life and can be
achieved by "Jeevan Yoga" or Yoga, a way of
LIFE. It brings peace and happiness of sound
mind in sound body. Yogic living implies
discriminative living. Yoga is equanimity,
equipoise or equilibrium. It is skill in the
performance of actions. Yoga is
disconnection from union with pain and
freedom from attachment and desires it is
turning away of the senses from the
objective universe and concentrating the
mind on the SELF". - Swami Adhyatmananda
We all miss Pujya Swamiji's physical
presence, but HE is free from the bondage of the
body & liberated now. He has merged in the
Infinite. Pujya Swamiji is with us in the Spirit
and HIS subtle Presence will continue to guide
us.

"My Life is My
Message."........."Don't be afraid of
adversities, they make you strong"
Just as the deep-rooted tree stands tall
in spite of the calamities in the form
of severe storms, tornadoes, hail
storms, or torrential rain, I have faced
many adversities, ups & downs,
impediments, agony, along the journey of
50 years of my monastic life and came
out strong. Life has given me
exuberance, joy, bubbling
energy. Awakening of inner SELF lead me
to spread the Glories of the DIVINE.
Look at Nature, there is Fall & Spring,
there is Sunrise & Sunset, there is Ebb
& Flow. It is the Law of Nature. Ups &
down is a part of Life. Don't be afraid
of adversities, they make you strong. In
all situations, be rooted in
the Absolute Truth, Abide in the SELF,
sing HIS Glories, Surrender at the holy
feet of your Guru. Stick to the path
guided by your Guru. Chant the Guru
Mantra with unwavering faith. Hold on
to Hari-Nama, the Lord's name is the
solution for all the trials and
tribulations of Life. Intensify your
faith only on one thought " I am Thine,
Thou art Mine, Thy will be done". “O
God, I am Thine, Thy wish is mine as I
have none”. Guru's Grace is unfailing;
it is ever ready to help you. I have
experienced in my life, you can too.
Divine Name is a safe boat that can take you to the other shore of fearlessness, freedom and bliss Immortal", “In all conditions, I am Bliss, Bliss, and Bliss Absolute," says Swami Sivananda. Have Yearning for God-Realization. What more can I say? The secret of my joy in life (of 75 years) is unbroken Guru Smarana, faith in my GURU, abiding at the Holy feet of my GURU. Ever flowing Grace & Blessings of my Guru is the supreme joy of my Life.- (This is from message delivered by Brahmleen H. H. Sri Swami Adhyatmananda Maharaj on the occasion of His 75 Birthday Celebrations on May 3, 2020) << More>>
How simple, How sublime, How Divine are
these Messages! How precious are these
messages now when Pujya Swamiji is no longer
with us in the Physical form! He is free
from the bondage of the body and liberated
now and has merged in the Infinite.   "Gurudevarpanmastu"
