Sivananda Ashram, Ahmedabad September 2018 ==================================== OM Namo Bhagawate Sivanandaya! OM Namo Bhagawate Chidanandaya! OM Namo Narayanaya! ================================================================== Lord Sri Krishna- Divine Incarnation, Purna Avatara On auspicious Janmashtami (Sept 2, 2018)  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.""So Sri Krishna is called an Avatara, a descent of God in the world, of the Whole in the parts, of the Absolute in the relative. An Avatara is different from a Rishi or a Jivanmukta who represents an ascent of man to God, whereas the Avatara is a descent of God to man, consciously and deliberately. Sri Krishna lived the universal life, laughed a universal laughter, and walked on earth as the moving Spirit of the universe. To worship Him is to be in the Presence of God; to know Him is to realize the Self."- Swami Sivananda << More>> =================================================================
================================================================== "How Rama came into his life is an instructive lesson to every
seeker. To him in his childhood He came as the idol Kodanda Rama, whom
he worshiped and in whom he had his whole being. At a later stage, He
came to him in the shape of the unfortunate lepers. Then a time came
when the Lord appeared before him in the form of the inspired words of
Ramdas. Next, the life of Ramakrishna Paramahamsa rose before him as a
beckoning ideal. Saints and mystics blessed him. At last, the Lord gave
him Darshan in the form of his Sadguru. Sivananda entered into his very
being. He was filled with devotion to Guru. Sivananda dwelt in him and
he dwelt in Sivananda..................."

The
story of Swami Chidananda has been a story of total divinisation of the
human personality. It is a story of silent service and complete
self-effacement. On the basis of the profound authority of his personal
experience and direct realisation, therefore, this peerless saint of the
Himalayas could proclaim to the world of seekers: "Yoga is not only in
Nirvikalpa Samadhi. It is in every moment. .............."
