Deepavali, A Festival of Joy, Light and Illumination!  ( Nov 1, 2013 -Nov 4, 2013)
 

"Celebrate the real Deepavali by living in Brahman, and enjoy the eternal bliss of the soul. He who Himself sees all but whom no one beholds, who illumines the intellect, the sun, the moon and the stars and the whole universe but whom they cannot illumine, He indeed is Brahman, He is the inner Self.

The Sun does not shine there, nor do the moon and the stars, nor do lightnings shine and much less fire. All the lights of the world cannot be compared even to a ray of the inner light of the Self. Merge yourself in this light of lights and enjoy the supreme Deepavali ".
 

"May you all attain full inner illumination! May the supreme light of lights enlighten your understanding! May you all attain the inexhaustible spiritual wealth of the Self! May you all prosper gloriously on the material as well as spiritual planes!" - Swami Sivananda .<<More>>.

Early Morning Meditation Talk from "Ponder These  Truths" of Swami Chidananada

"Connect Yourself with God"
 " You must keep in contact with the source of your being, be ever linked and connected with the origin from which you are. Then, day by day, your spirit will begin to unfold. It will grow, develop, progress, expand, and you will attain divine experience. You will become divine."
 
 "But when there is no connection, or you have alienated yourself from It, or forgotten It, or thought of yourself as something independent, then you are full of sorrow and anxiety, pain and suffering, misery and fear. You are full of a sense of want. Why? Because you have unwisely cut yourself off from the source of your being. The secret of a progressive and fruitful life is to be inwardly ever linked with God, linked with the Cosmic Being."
 
 "Keep that connection either through enquiry and discrimination, or through constant unbroken remembrance of God and devotion, or through meditation and continuously thinking about Brahman, or through worshipfully dedicating all activities to Him. Do it by whatever means, but by any means do it!"  - Swami Chidananda <<More>>

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

Anemia What is Anemia ? What Causes of anemia?  How Yoga  treatment helps Anemia ?

Anemia is a condition that develops when your blood lacks enough healthy red blood cells. These cells are the main transporters of oxygen to organs. If red blood cells are also deficient in hemoglobin, then your body isn't getting enough iron. Symptoms of anemia -- like fatigue -- occur because organs aren't getting enough oxygen.
There are many types of anemia, which are divided into 3 broad groupings: Anemia caused by blood loss, Anemia caused by decreased or faulty red blood cell production and Anemia caused by destruction of red blood cells.
Treatment :  Proper Nurtition, Treatment directed to cause and the practice of Pranayama, Manily Sitali & Sidhkari  — these three have proved very valuable for the production of hemoglobin and necessary elements in the blood in the pure form. Sitali & Shidhakari Pranayams performed in the early morning before sunrise give good digestive power, hunger increases and blood gets purified. - Swami Adhyatmananda << More>>

Gitamrutam

  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)
