  "This is that Atman even with regard to the letters (of the word OM); it is the Omkara with its parts. The quarters are the parts, and the parts the quarters. The parts of Om are "A," "U" and "M"." In the previous Mantras the Atman has been described from the viewpoint of the states of waking, dream, sleep and Turiya. The same Atman is described from the viewpoint of the sound OM in the following Mantras. This will help meditation on Om. Om is analyzed into its constituent sound elements 'A,' 'U' and 'M' in order to identify them with the states of waking, dream and sleep. Those which constitute the quarters of the Atman are the letters of AUM, "A", "U" and "M". << Read More>>

Early Morning Meditation talks from "Ponder These Truths" by Swami
Chidananda
“Wake up at dawn each day to salute the Universal Being. Bow down in
adoration unto Him before you start the day. Go through the day
serenely, full of happiness and contentment. There is nothing to condemn
in this world. Change your angle of vision. Forego a grudge. Forgive an
enemy. Stop anxiety and smile gently unto yourself. Feel that the whole
world is the manifestation of the Lord and you are serving the Lord in
all these names and forms. Convert life into Yoga. Strive to be a
Sadachari and paropakari. God walks with the simple, reveals Himself
through the sufferer, gives understanding to the noble and keeps His
Grace from the haughty. So renounce ego, cultivate virtues and be free.
Keep the mind always calm and peaceful. Be the conqueror of your mind,
the subduer of your desires and a master of your destiny, for you are
the master.”
"When you wake up in the morning, you wake up into something very
special. This emergence should constitute for you a rebirth into
sadhana. In this new birth there should be no more slackness, no
more pretence, and no more half-heartedness. Therefore, may we be
reborn not once, not twice, but again and again until there is no
longer any necessity or need for any such rebirth or re-emergence.”
So Says Swami Sivananda“Life is an inward journey of the spirit. It is a journey that has no arriving or reaching, but a journey of knowing. It is a journey without movement. It starts from the point where you have to arrive."-- Swami Chidananda ” << Read More>>

Learning of "Jeevan Yog" from a Yoga Acharya Sri Swami
Adhyatmananda
Through TV episodes of "Jeevan Yoga" Series by Doordarshan Girnar 
Surya Namaskara or Sun Salutation ("salute to the sun"),
is a common sequence of Hatha Yoga asanas. Its origins lie in a
worship of Surya, the Hindu Solar deity. This sequence of
movements and poses can be practiced on varying levels of
awareness, ranging from that of physical exercise in various
styles, to a complete sadhana, which incorporates asana,
pranayama, mantra and chakra meditation.
The physical base of the practice links together twelve asanas in a dynamically performed series. These asanas are ordered so that they alternately stretch the spine backwards and forwards. When performed in the usual way, each asana is moved into with alternate inhalation and exhalation (except for the sixth asana where the breath is held in external suspension). A full round of Surya namaskara is considered to be two sets of the twelve poses with a change in the second set to moving the opposite leg first through the series.
