"From a clear
knowledge of the Bhagavad-Gita all the goals of human existence
become fulfilled. Bhagavad-Gita is the manifest quintessence of all
the teachings of the Vedic scriptures." - Adi Sankara
"I owed a magnificent day to the
Bhagavad-Gita. It was the first of books; it was as if an empire
spoke to us, nothing small or unworthy, but large, serene,
consistent, the voice of an old intelligence which in another age
and climate had pondered and thus disposed of the same questions
which exercise us." - Ralph Waldo Emerson "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
 Lord
Sri 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.-Swami Chidananda

News & Activity Report for the Month of November 2007
For certain is death for the born, And certain is birth for
the dead; Therefore over the inevitable, Thou shouldst not
grieve. - Bhagavad Gita, (2:27)
Thy right is to work only, but never with its fruits; let
not the fruits of action be thy motive, nor let thy
attachment be to inaction.- Bhagavad Gita,(2:47)
"There has never been a time when you and I have not
existed, nor will there be a time when we will cease to
exist. As the indweller in the body experiences childhood,
youth, and old age in the body, he also passes on to
another body. The serene one is not affected thereby."
(2:12:13)
"He who hates no single being, is friendly and
compassionate, free from self-regard and vanity, the same in
good and evil, patient; Contented, ever devout, subdued in
soul, firm in purpose, fixed on Me in heart and mind, and
who worships Me, is dear to Me." -Bhagavad Gita (12:13-14)
"And I am seated in the hearts of all; from Me are memory and
knowledge, as well as their absence. I am verily that which
has to be known by all the Vedas; I am indeed the
author of Vedanta, and the knower of the Vedas am
I".(15:!5)
"To those men who worship Me alone , thinking of no
other, who are devout, I provide gain and
security."Bhagavad Gita (9 :22)
"Fix thy mind on Me; be devoted to Me; sacrifice to Me; bow down
to Me; having thus united thy whole Self with Me, taking Me as
the Supreme Lord, thou shalt verily come to Me".( 9:34)
"Renounce all dharmas and take refuge in Me alone. I shall liberate you from all sins; grieve not" - Bhagavad Gita (18:66) |
