"Bhagavan Sri Krishna is the immortal manifestation of God in all His splendor, that man was ever given the fortune to behold. Man! Blessed thou art, that hast visualized with thy fleshly eyes the mighty Dignity of the Supreme Sovereign of the Universe! Thou art purified; thy birthright is to realize Him; thy fortune is a part of His Greatness! Sri Krishna may be called the "Collective Man", who represented all beings hungering and thirsting to gain the Highest Freedom and who voiced forth their deepest aspirations in the loudest possible tone. He came to release man from the thraldom of vice and correct his vision so that he could walk along the ever-illumined path to perfection. Sri Krishna is the articulation of the pure longings that are buried in the hearts of people. Sri Krishna is not merely a historical man who came and went, like others, but the Eternal Purusha who dwells even now and shall live in the everlasting future, in the core of all manifestation. It is the Symbol of the Absolute descended into relativity that we call Krishna, the ever-beloved protector of all that breathe and air."- Swami Sivananda << More>>
Temptation:
“Kamah krodhascha lobhascha dehe tisthanti taskarah
jnanaratnapaharaya tasmat jagrata jagrata—Lust anger and greed,
they are dacoits to rob and plunder the pearl of wisdom, not coming
from outside to assail or invade you, but residing within your own
body. Therefore, be awake, be awake,” says Sankaracharya in Vairagya
Dindima." "Turn to God for help and you will receive it without fail, unfailingly. Turn to Him every day in meditation—meditation with faith, meditation with love, meditation with humility. And be on guard against these inner enemies to which you are host, inner enemies dwelling within your self, meaning you no good. This is the mystery of God and His creation, the great maya which is duratyaya (difficult to cross). Be on guard, never lay down arms, never give way. Always know that one day you have to overcome and you will overcome".- Swami Chidananda <<More>>
Prana - "The true meaning of Prana is not only
breath. The Prana is energy. It is universal power,
brightness, light and intelligence. All these cosmic energies are
named as Prana."Yatkinchit Jagat Sarvam Drishyate
Shruyatepiva..This Prana is filled in all that we see and
hear, the inside and outside of all things, all movement etc. in
this world.
"It
was very hectic four day program at Chicago. Pujya Swamiji's day
began at 4.00/4.30am(wake up call for host and Swamiji) starting
from home after prayer & meditation for morning yoga class at 5.45am
until 10.30pm touching down at home, traveling from one place to the
next, attending devotees' request for Bhiksha, home visit, evening
temple satsang etc but, when it is satsang time and Swamiji starts
speaking, HE was found ever fresh and in a different realm. Every
word and every sentence HE speaks enters right into the heart of
listeners and has a message so inspiring and energizing" -sevak

Perform action, O Arjuna, being steadfast in
Yoga, abandoning attachment and balanced in
success and failure! Evenness of mind is called
Yoga. (2:48)
Acts of sacrifice, gift and austerity should not be abandoned, but should be performed; sacrifice, gift and also austerity are the purifiers of the wise.(18:5) For, verily the true nature of action (enjoined by the scriptures) should be known, also (that) of forbidden (or unlawful) action, and of inaction; hard to understand is the nature (path) of action.(4:17) Having abandoned attachment to the fruit of the action, ever content, depending on nothing, he does not do anything though engaged in activity.(4:20) The world is bound by actions other than those performed for the sake of sacrifice; do thou, therefore, O son of Kunti, perform action for that sake (for sacrifice) alone, free from attachment! (3:9)
