"Song Celestial"- Bhagavad Gita   
  
Bhagwad Gita Jayanti  ( Dec 6, 2011 )  

 

"The Gita is not merely a book or just a scripture. It is a living voice carrying an eternally indispensable and vital message to mankind. Its verses embody words of wisdom coming from the infinite ocean of knowledge, the Absolute Itself."

The Gita is the most beautiful and the only truly philosophical song. It contains sublime lessons on wisdom and philosophy. It is the “Song Celestial”. It is the universal gospel. It contains the message of life that appeals to all, irrespective of race, creed, age or religion. The Gita contains the divine nectar. It is the wish-fulfilling gem, tree and cow. You can milk anything from it. It is a book for eternity. It is a vade-mecum for all. Peace, bliss, wisdom, Brahman, Nirvana, Param Padam and Gita are all synonymous terms." -   Sri Swami Sivananda << More>>

 
"All that can be learned by going through the whole of the Gita can be as well accomplished by repeating “Gita”, “Gita” – Gita-gi-ta-gita, ten times; it virtually comes to be “Ta-gi” “Ta-gi” – a modification of “Tyagi”,  “Tyagi”, which means one who has given up the world both outwardly and from the mind."- Sri Ramkrishna Parmhansadev 

 

"When doubts haunt me, when disappointments stare me in the face, and I see not one ray of hope on the horizon, I turn to Bhagavad-Gita and find a verse to comfort me; and I immediately begin to smile in the midst of overwhelming sorrow. Those who meditate on the Gita will derive fresh joy and new meanings from it every day."- Mahatma Gandhiji

Early Morning Meditation Talks from "" Ponder These Truths " by Sri Swami Chidananda 
 

What Pleases the Lord? 

 "......Let us purify our heart, and that purified heart will know the sublime bhav of devotion and love. And it is through such bhav that whatever we do, no matter how imperfect it may be, will become acceptable to the Lord as though it were perfect. Bhav, feeling of the heart, that is the one way of drawing down His grace. Think about it and cultivate it with diligence. Pray for it. Devotion, compassion, meditation, combined with bhav—everything in conjunction with bhav—becomes the highest qualification, pleases the Lord, draws His grace and makes your sadhana successful. God bless you!"  - Swami Chidananda <<More>> 
 


 

On "Health Topics"  from a book " Yoga  and Health " By Swami Adhyatmananda

Yoganidra is a prolonged Shavasan that leads to relaxation and finally establishes in meditation. It is the art of conscious relaxation. It is a technique which will allow you to reach new sates of conscious awareness with acute perception of both your physical and subtle body. As you practice these techniques you will feel the flow of Prana move through physical, emotional and energetic blockages. The end result is the healing of the body and mind and the expansion of consciousness.

Gitamrutam 
 

 
I am the Self, O Gudakesha, seated in the hearts of all beings! I am the beginning, the middle and also the end of all beings.( 10-20)  

That, the Light of all lights, is beyond darkness; it is said to be knowledge, the Knowable and the goal of knowledge, seated in the hearts of all.(13-18) 

Having become the fire Vaisvanara, I abide in the body of living beings and, associated with the Prana and Apana, digest the fourfold food.( 15-14)  

That light which residing in the sun, illumines the whole world, that which is in the moon and in the fire—know that light to be Mine.( 15-12) 

Fix thy mind on Me; be devoted to Me; sacrifice unto Me; bow down to Me; having thus united thy whole self with Me, taking Me as the Supreme Goal, thou shalt verily come unto Me.(9-34)
