Deepavali , A Festival of light, Joy & Illumination ( Nov 3, 2010 - Nov,
6, 2010 )
"O man! wake up from the slumber of ignorance. Realise the constant and
eternal light of the Soul which neither rises nor sets, through
meditation and deep inquiry.
.....Celebrate the real Deepavali by living in Brahman, and enjoy the
eternal bliss of the soul. The sun does not shine there, nor do the moon
and the stars, nor do lightnings shine and much less fire. All the
lights of the world cannot be compared even to a ray of the inner light
of the Self. Merge yourself in this light of lights and enjoy the
supreme Deepavali".

*Arjuna's Complex
*
"Arjuna was not able to liberate himself from himself. He was caught in
his own view of things, in his own sentiments, in his own emotions, in
his own reactions. He was caught and he was in a pitiable condition. And
it required all patience and effort on the part of Jagad-Guru Sri
Krishna to free Arjuna from himself and to enable him to see himself in
the right perspective and to be fully and willingly prepared to follow
the lead of Sri Krishna. Then the problem gradually began to resolve
itself. Arjuna found that he was able to free himself. From whom? From
himself. That is the inner /tattva /(truth), outcome, fruit of the
Gita—not I, not I, but Thou."
"But Arjuna did not yield, did not give up his self-opinion easily.
Difficult was the task. He made Bhagavan go through sixteen chapters of
teachings before he finally saw the wisdom. He especially got this
clarity after the tenth and eleventh chapters. So, deeply one must
ponder these two chapters. For all of us have within us the situation of
Arjuna in some way or other. It is the crucial problem of the
/jivatma/—its unwillingness to renounce itself for a higher light,
higher wisdom." - Swami Chidananda << More>>

*Divine Inspiration *
* A good word for a bad one is worth much but costs little. Kindness
does not consist in gifts, but in gentleness and generosity.
* Bear no envy. Commit no slander. Speak no falsehood. Practice no
deceit. Harbor no malice.You will be ever joyful, happy and peaceful.
* Sacrifice and service are your two hands. Freedom and peace are
your two legs. Love and bliss are your two eyes. Truth and
devotion are your two ears. Self- knowledge is your mouth.
Perfection is, indeed, heart and soul.
* The Sweetness of life is devotion. The fragrance of life is
generosity. The pivot of life is meditation . The goal of life is
Self- Realization.
- Swami Sivananda
