OM Namo Bhagawate Sivanandaya!
OM Namo Bhagawate Chidanandaya! OM Namo Narayanaya! =============================================================================================== Remembering " Sannyasa Diksha" day of Holy Master Sri Swami Sivananda (June 1, 2014) Rare it is to find a parallel to the type of life—of lofty, sublime selflessness and total, wonderful, dedicated selfless service of all God’s creatures—that Gurudev was and placed before us as an ideal. It is to this embodiment of selflessness and selfless service, this great expounder of nishkama-karma-yoga, who boldly declared, "Service of humanity is worship of God," that we pay our homage. May his blessings be upon us all!" "All Gurudev’s life after Self-realisation, after becoming an enlightened sage and shining as a great light of the Himalayas, was a saga of selfless service—service of the poor, service of the suffering, service of the sick, service of the distressed, service of spiritual aspirants and seekers, service of all humanity, service of the whole world. In diverse, numerous ways, his entire life was one great, continuous stream of selfless service. He had even forgotten how to think of himself; he could only think of others. He lived thinking of others: "In what way can I be of benefit, in what way can I serve?" That was Gurudev Swami Sivanandaji Maharaj till the very last days." - Swami Chidananda << More>>
"May you ponder these cardinal points of your life’s
journey—charity towards God’s creatures, absolute hope about
yourself, and absolute faith in the Being Who has brought you
into being, Who has placed you among His creatures, so that you
may become like Him and you can attain Him as your supreme
Goal!" - Swami Chidananda <<More>>
=============================================================================================== 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) The man who is full of faith, who is devoted to it, and who has subdued all the senses, obtains (this) knowledge; and, having obtained the knowledge, he goes at once to the supreme peace.(4:39)
Steadfastness in sacrifice, austerity and gift, is also called Sat, and also action in connection with these (or for the sake of the Supreme) is called Sat.(17:27)
Gurudevarpanmastu!
