OM Namo Bhagawate Sivanandaya! OM Namo Bhagawate Chidanandaya! OM Namo Narayanaya! ================================================================== "Glory to Lord Sri Rama and HIS Name!" on auspicious Ramnavami Utsav (April 14, 2019)  "Ram-Nam
burns ignorance, passion and sin. With or without knowledge, correctly
or incorrectly, when the word "Rama" is pronounced it showers a rain of
good upon the devotee. Sri Rama is Brahman who takes one across the
ocean of worldly existence. Rama is one in across whom the Yogis sport,
that is, the Self within.Without first developing devotion to Rama who is the Self, who lives in the hearts of all beings, who is all bliss and who is peerless, how can man cross the ocean of worldly life which has sorrow, pain and misery for its waves? Do thou therefore worship Lord Rama who is Vishnu and the consort of Sita who is Lakshmi. Abandon all foolishness and enmity. Take to the service of Lord Rama. O Devotee! recite His Name, sing His glory and serve His Lotus Feet. Enthrone in your heart Lord Rama of dark hue, whose image is reflected in the heart of Lord Shiva. Blessed is the pious soul who uninterruptedly drinks the nectar of Sri Rama's Name which has been churned out of the ocean of the Vedas, which removes the impurities of the Kali Yuga or the iron age, which lives constantly on the lips of Lord Shiva, which is a sovereign remedy or unfailing specific to cure the disease of worldly existence and which is the life of Mother Sita." - Swami Sivananda << Read More>> ================================================================== 19 th Brahmotsav of Sri Sri Ashtalaxmi Bahvan & Sri Chidananda Dhyana Mandir/Sri Ashtalaxmi Darshan (April 29, 2019) The Upnisads, the essence of Vedas, sing the glory of the Mother-worship, "Matru Devo Bhava" is the famous saying of the Upnisad. When God, Himself incarnates as Mother, naturally it brings additional harmony to the Mother-worship. Laxmi is not money only. Patience, discrimination, our progeny, education, victory etc. are our wealth. The greatest wealth is character, patience and discrimination. - Swami Sivananda < Read More>> Eighfold Laxmi - By Swami Chidananda Sri Yantra - Sri. Yantra is Yantra of Bhagawati Sundri.

They have been placed according to certain rules considering it as the body f a man with nine doors. Yantra is taken as the body of Ashta-Devata << Read More>> ================================================================== Early Morning Meditation Talk from " Ponder These truths" by Swami Chidananda  "The
Divine Name" : The rupa of Bhagavan (the form of God) is beyond our
comprehension. But here is something, an aspect of God identical with
Him, discovered in ancient times. It is the mantra (sacred syllable or
word) of the supreme absolute Being. Here is a “being” that is name, and
yet it is formless. Therefore it has contact with the formless world.
Itself being devoid of rupa (form), being nirakara (formless), it has
contact with the nirakara parabrahma tattva (formless supreme Reality).
Parabrahma is nirakara, nirguna (without form, without attributes), but
here It is nirakara but saguna (formless but with attributes). It is in
the form of sabda (sound). It is in the form of nama. It has vibration.
It has a tangible sound form which we can hear with our gross ear. "Jagat Guru Lord Krishna says: “He who repeats My Name at the time of leaving the body attains Me. He does not return once again into this mortal world.” Abheda, abhedata of nama and nami (The non-difference, identity of the Lord and His Name) has been established by the direct experience of those who have practised this path and attained perfection." "The path of the Divine Name in this Kali Yuga is the supreme, the least complicated, the most efficacious, unfailing, simple and powerful path." - Swami Chidananda <<Read More>> ================================================================== Learning of "Jeevan Yog" from a Yoga Acharya Swami Adhyatmananda Through TV episodes of "Jeevan Yoga" Series by Doordarshan Girnar  Obesity
