When Gauranga passed along the streets and roads, his powerful
Prem current influenced and overpowered thousands. They uttered
irresistibly "Hari Bol! Hari Bol!" and danced in ecstasy"
"It begins about ten days before the full moon of the month Phalgun (February-March), but is usually only observed for the last three or four days, terminating with the full moon. This is the spring festival of the Hindus. In the spring season all the trees are filled with sweet-smelling flowers. They all proclaim the glory and everlasting beauty of God. They inspire you with hope, joy and a new life, and stir you on to find out the creator and the Indweller, who is hiding Himself in these forms". "Holi also means “sacrifice”. Burn all the impurities of the mind, such as egoism, vanity and lust, through the fire of devotion and knowledge. Ignite cosmic love, mercy, generosity, selflessness, truthfulness and purity through the fire of Yogic practice. This is the real spirit of Holi. Rise from the mire of stupidity and absurdity and dive deep into the ocean of divinity. The call of Holi is to always keep ablaze the light of God-love shining in your heart. Inner illumination is the real Holi. The spring season is the manifestation of the Lord, according to the Bhagavad Gita. Holi is said there to be His heart." <<More>>
Companions Until Illumination Radiant Divinities! The way spiritual, which leads to true peace, everlasting joy, divine perfection, illumination and liberation, commences with sad-vichara—right enquiry into why we are here, what we are here for, what is this thing called life? Our presence, our being and doing upon this planet earth is characterised as life—what is this life?...... There is something within you which is timeless, beginningless and endless, immortal and imperishable, deathless and indestructible, na hanyate hanyamane sarire (is not killed when the body is killed). “There must be some meaning, it is not meaningless, it does not end in death, there is a hereafter.”......All sincere sadhaks must, therefore, be vicharsila, vivekvan, samyami, sadachari (engaged in enquiry, discrimination, be self-controlled, with right conduct). These are to be constant companions. ....Therefore think deeply, be wise, and attain perfection and liberation. Then rejoice! - Swami Chidananda........<<More>>
 Primary
Yogasana (Yoga Postures) - The Physical techniques of Yoga are the
stepping stones to meditation. According to Patanjali, Yoga is the
cessation of the modifications of the mind.In the beginning the primary prerequisite to peace of mind is posture. Yogasana practiced to gain steady posture, health and lightness in the body. All Yoga postures are intended to directly or indirectly quiet the mind. The majority of Asana have been devised to build up different parts of the body and to develop the strength required by the more advanced Physical disciplines. The purpose of the yogasana is to recondition the system, both mind and body, and to develop the nervous and glandular systems. The different Yoga postures have been devised to bring a rich supply of blood to the brain and to the various parts of the spinal column. The yogasana work by stretching, bending and twisting the spinal column in different directions to promote the health of the nerves. When the body is purified, Prana (vital energy) can be conserved and the individual becomes healthy and conscious. << More>>

Sankirtan is the Svarupa (essential nature) of God. Dhvani is Sankirtan. Sankirtan is the essence of the Vedas. Sankirtan is singing God's name with Bhava, Prem or divine feeling. There is infinite Sakti or power in the Lord's Names. Nama and Nami are inseparable. Nama means Name (Name of God). Nami means 'that which is denoted by the Nama or Name'. Nama is greater than the Nami. Sankirtan removes the impurities of the mind (Mala); it steadies the mind and checks its tendency to vacillate (Vikshepa); and ultimately it tears the veil of ignorance too (Avarana), and brings the Sadhaka (aspirant) face to face with God.
Sankirtan Yoga is the easiest, quickest, safest,
cheapest and best way for attaining
God-realization in this age.

"Gauranga
was an embodiment of love. He lived, moved and had his being in
love. His speech was full of love. He radiated love to all. His
touch was a magnetism of love. He sang in love. He breathed in love.
He walked in love. He showed by practice how God should be loved. He
taught little by precept, but more by example. If he simply uttered
one word, "You will be blessed with Bhakti", it was quite sufficient
to throw a man into Samadhi and fill his heart with Prem (love).
Such was Gauranga's power.
