Sivananda Ashram, Ahmedabad September 2017 ====================================
OM Namo Bhagawate Sivanandaya!
OM Namo Bhagawate Chidanandaya! OM Namo Narayanaya! ==================================================================  "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."
"Gurudev declared in one of his eighteen handwritten autobiographical epistles: "I live to serve, to feed the hungry, to clothe the naked, to raise the fallen, to console the distressed. This is my mission in life." And anyone who has known him, anyone who has lived with him, anyone who has seen him instantly recognised: "Here is a totally selfless, dedicated human being." He fulfilled to the very letter the scriptural description of this type of realised soul, who having attained illumination, having done everything that has to be done, having no desires because all their desires have been fulfilled through God-realisation, are seen to be, in the words of the Gita, "intent on the welfare of all creatures." << Read more >> ================================================================== Durga Puja (Navaratri) - a festival of Devi Worship during Auspicious Navaratri ( Sept 21, 2017 - Sept 30, 2017 ) Devi worship is, worship of God’s glory, of God’s greatness and supremacy. It is adoration of the Almighty. The worship of Devi, the universal Mother, leads to the attainment of knowledge of the Self. Sakti is all. She can do anything. She can make or mar. She can mend or end. For the sake of the continuance of Her Divine Play here, She Herself, as Avidya-Maya, has veiled the Truth from you and bound you to this Samsara. When She is propitiated through the practice of sincere devotion and unconditional self-surrender, She, as Vidya-Maya, removes the veil and enables you to perceive the Truth. No one can free himself from the thralldom of mind and matter without Mother’s grace. The fetters of Maya are too hard to break. If you worship Her as the great Mother, you can very easily go beyond Prakriti through Her benign grace and blessings. She will remove all obstacles in the path, and lead you safely into the illimitable domain of eternal bliss, and make you absolutely free - Swami Sivananda << Read More>> ================================================================== Early Morning Meditation Talk from " Ponder These truths" by Swami Chidananda  "Knowledge
is Meant to be Lived"
Philosophy and spirituality, of which you are all students, are
to be known, but more than acquiring knowledge, a student of
philosophy and spirituality must also try to acquire the practical
wisdom of how to fit this newly gained knowledge into his daily
life, thoughts, words and actions. In short, “how can I live in the
light of this philosophy? how can I base my life upon this
philosophy? whatever I have learned in Yoga, how can I turn it into
a new form, into my day-to-day life and actions?” This you must
know. ================================================================== Adhyatma Tour 2017 to USA, Canada & UK (June 27, 2017 - Aug 30, 2017)
