 "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 not a catch-penny book, with life like that of a
mushroom. It can be one’s constant companion of life. It is a
vade-mecum for all. Peace, bliss, wisdom, Brahman, Nirvana,
Param Padam and Gita are all synonymous terms."" In all the spiritual literature of the world there is no book so elevating and inspiring as the Gita. It expounds very lucidly the cardinal principles or the fundamentals of the Hindu religion and Hindu Dharma. It is the source of all wisdom. It is your great guide. It is your supreme teacher. It is an inexhaustible spiritual treasure. It is a fountain of bliss. It is an ocean of knowledge. It is full of divine splendour and grandeur." "If all the Upanishads should represent cows, Sri Krishna is their milker. Arjuna is the calf who first tasted that milk of wisdom of the Self, milked by the divine Cowherd for the benefit of all humanity. This milk is the Bhagavad Gita. It solves not only Arjuna’s problems and doubts, but also the world’s problems and those of every individual. Glory to Krishna, the friend of the cowherds of Gokula, the joy of Devaki! He who drinks the nectar of the Gita through purification of the heart and regular meditation, attains immortality, eternal bliss, everlasting peace and perennial joy. There is nothing more to be attained beyond this."- Sri Swami Sivananda << More>> Bhagavad Gita - Swami Chidananda Gospel Of Bhagwad Gita -Swami Krishnanda
 "Lord
Dattatreya - He was a supreme yogi. Like Dakshinamurti, He
was the adi guru, the primal world teacher. Contemplate His
life. Meditate upon Him. Feel His divine presence. Evoke in your
mind the sacred memory of Sati Anasuya and Atri Maharshi, the power
of chastity, and divine grace in the form of Divinity taking birth
at the earnest supplication and prayer of a heart filled with
devotion. The earnest prayer of a heart filled with devotion never
goes unanswered or unfulfilled. This is what the advent, the
avatara of Dattatreya represents or proves."- Sri Swami
Chidananda<<

 Serve,
Love, Meditate, Realise! These four significant
words have a relevance to each one of us in our attempt to seek and
find happiness while we live upon this earth, which is anityam,
asukham, duhkhalayam, asasvatam (evanescent,
without happiness, an abode of sorrow, impermanent), while we are
seeking happiness upon this earth which is janma, mrityu,
jara, vyadhi, duhkha (birth, death, old age,
disease, sorrow). Yet you can fully succeed in attaining the highest
happiness, highest bliss, highest peace and satisfaction, if you
hold on to these four words, ponder their meaning, and manifest them
in your life. They will lead you to peace and joy.

Srimad Bhagvata Saptah, Yoga & Medical Camp (Nov 12, 2006- Nov 19, 2006)
“I do not visit any institution the second time
but with all reverence and due honor for Rev. Sri Swami
Adhyatmanandaji; I am here at Holy Sivananda Ashram for the fifth
time. Sri Swamiji’s humanitarian services, his divine touch in all
his actions and this divine institute of a Great Master Sri Swami
Sivananda have impressed me immensely.” These warm feelings were
expressed by H. E Pundit Naval Kishor Sharmaji, Governor of Gujarat
at a function organized in the honor of “Revered Bapuji”,
H. H. Sri Swami Yagnyavalkyanandaji Maharaj on
the occasion of his Centenary Year celebration on November 18, 2006
at Sivananda Ashram, Ahmedabad. Yoga Teacher Training Course (Dec 21,
2006- Jan 10, 2007) For registration details: Yoga Teacher Training Course (Dec 21, 2006- Jan 10, 2007)
Parable of The Boy Who Watered The Root A father wanted to test the intelligence of his two sons. He allotted to each of them the task of looking after a mango tree, promising to reward the boy whose tree yielded the best fruit in abundance. The foolish boy discovered that the leaves were withering off and that flowers were coming up at the end of the branches. Promptly he went up the tree and carefully watered every leaf. The leaves withered still more and the tree eventually died. The wise boy, on the other hand, went on watering the root; the tree was green and healthy and yielded delicious fruits in abundance. Similarly, God gives human birth to man in order to test the evolution of his intelligence. The foolish man, eager to get the reward of Eternal Peace and Immortality, seeks to pay attention to the satisfaction of his sense-cravings, and to the acquisition of worldly knowledge, for he thinks that it is the right way. He dies the miserable death of an ignorant man. The wise man, on the contrary, devotes himself to the contemplation of God, the Root of all Creation, and thus obtains all the wealth and knowledge of the universe. God is well pleased with him and bestows upon him the reward of Immortality and Eternal Bliss.
"Respond to The
Eternal Call" May that. Reality shine forth in your consciousness as the true "I AM" beyond the little "I" that dominates our lives, that pushes us, pulls us, that twists and turns us and shoves us up and down. This little "I", you are not. - Swami Chidananda |

To
listen to Srimad Bhagvata Katha itself is a great fortune and that
too, from the lips of H. H. Sri Swami Adhyatmanandaji Maharaj. It
is indeed spiritual feast for a blessed soul. It was a divine
thought of members of late Sri Shivprasad Baxi family of Jamnagar to
have Srimad Bhagvata katha in the loving memory of their ancestors.
Dr. Arun Baxi, a Retired Vice Chancellor of Gujarat Ayurvedic
University was instrumental in organizing this holy event at the
Ashram.
Yogacharya H. H .Swami Adhyatmanandaji, who has been teaching Yoga
over thirty years and has conducted over 680 Yogasana Camps over the
globe.
