*Glories of  Srimad  Bhagavad Gita  on Gita Jayanti ( Dec 17,  2010)
*

"The /Gita /is the cream of the /Vedas. /It is the essence of the 
soul-elevating /Upanishads. /It is a universal scripture applicable to 
people of all temperaments and for all times. It is a wonderful book 
with sublime thoughts and practical instructions on Yoga, devotion, 
Vedanta and action. It is a marvelous book, profound in thought and 
sublime in heights of vision. It brings peace and solace to souls that 
are afflicted by the three fires of mortal existence, namely, 
afflictions caused by one’s own body, those caused by beings around one, 
and those caused by the gods."

"The /Gita /is not merely a book or just a scripture. It is a living 
voice carrying an eternally indispensable and vital message to mankind. 
Its verses embody words of wisdom coming from the infinite ocean of 
knowledge, the Absolute Itself."

"The /Gita /is a source of power and wisdom. It strengthens you when you 
are weak, and inspires you when you feel dejected and feeble. It teaches 
you to embrace righteousness and to resist unrighteousness." - Swami 
Sivananda << More>>

*Sri Dattatreya Jayanti ( Dec 20, 2010 )
*


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 << More>>.

*Early Morning Meditation Talks from Ponder These Truths by Sri Swami 
Chidananda*

*//*

*"When You Wake up In The Morning":*  Waking up in the morning should 
not merely mean waking up into this maya-bazaar, waking up into this 
temporary world of pain and death. It should not only mean waking up 
into this little, confined, outer earth awareness. It should also 
simultaneously mean waking up into the awareness of your divinity which 
has been temporarily suspended in sleep. And keep up that inner 
wakefulness along with your outer physical wakefulness of the senses and 
the mind. Keep up the inner wakefulness of your svarupa. That is the 
great thing needful. That is what will make your life divine. That is 
what will take you, day by day, higher and higher towards the Goal 
Supreme. And this you have to do for yourself, with wisdom." << More>>

Y*oga Learning through a Book "Yoga,  A Way of Life"  by  Swami 
Adhyatmananda*


OMKAR - "Omkar Sadhana is the Prana of Spiritual Sadhana.Omkar is the 
best Pranayam."

"The practice of Omkar destroys Tamasik thoughts and converts the 
Rajasik thoughts into Sattvik thoughts. In long term if the people 
living in all four directions on the earth start practising Omkar 
regularly, the mental conflicts can be eliminated. Selfishness will 
retire. Benevo­lence will be originated. The whole world can become a 
family. The contradiction will decrease and smooth conversation will be 
possible. The wind of pure selfless life will flow. Omkar is the highway 
of world peace and welfare. Let us practice Omkar and make our life 
suc­cessful".......- Swami Adhyatmananda

*Gitamrutam *


/
/

He who hates no creature, who is friendly and compassionate to all, who 
is free from attachment and egoism, balanced in pleasure and pain, and 
forgiving, .


/
/

Ever content, steady in meditation, possessed of firm conviction, 
self-controlled, with mind and intellect dedicated to Me, he, My 
devotee, is dear to Me.

He by whom the world is not agitated and who cannot be agitated by the 
world, and who is freed from joy, envy, fear and anxiety—he is dear to Me.

  He who is free from wants, pure, expert, unconcerned, and untroubled, 
renouncing all undertakings or commencements—he who is (thus) devoted to 
Me, is dear to Me.

He who neither rejoices, nor hates, nor grieves, nor desires, renouncing 
good and evil, and who is full of devotion, is dear to Me.

He who is the same to foe and friend, and in honour and dishonour, who 
is the same in cold and heat and in pleasure and pain, who is free from 
attachment,

  He to whom censure and praise are equal, who is silent, content with 
anything, homeless, of a steady mind, and full of devotion—that man is 
dear to Me.

  They verily who follow this immortal Dharma (doctrine or law) as 
described above, endowed with faith, regarding Me as their supreme goal, 
they, the devotees, are exceedingly dear to Me.
