*****Biography of Sri **A**di-Sankaracharya **- Swami Sivananda* *
  on the occasion of Sri Sankaracharya Jayanti **( May 8, 2011)*

“I am the Self of all; I am the all; I am transcendent; I am one without 
a second; I am the Absolute; I am the infinite Consciousness; I am 
homogeneous bliss” - Sri Adisankaracharya
This is the assertion of Shankara, India’s greatest philosopher-saint, 
the incarnation of Lord Shiva, reverently known as Srimath Adi 
Shankaracharya. What can we take him for except the Lord Himself, who 
proclaims authoritatively and undauntedly:
Sankara is the foremost among the master-minds and the giant souls which 
Mother India has produced. He was the expounder of the Advaita 
philosophy. Sankara was a giant metaphysician, a practical philosopher, 
an infallible logician, a dynamic personality and a stupendous moral and 
spiritual force. His grasping and elucidating powers knew no bounds. He 
was a fully developed Yogi, Jnani and Bhakta. He was a Karma Yogin of no 
mean order. He was a powerful magnet. - Swami Sivananda " << More>>

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

*//*

The Key to happiness
The key is inside. It is a state of mind that we diligently create 
within us that ultimately has the effect of creating happiness or misery 
for us. Therefore, mind alone is the cause of bondage and liberation. 
Mind is the cause of pleasure and pain, joy and sorrow. Whatever it 
is,/mana eva karanam manushyanam/—for human beings, mind itself is the 
main cause. And in the higher metaphysical sense, Vedanta says: 
“/manahkalpitam jagat/—this world is created by your mind.”

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

**

*/Prana/ - * "The true meaning of /Prana/ is not only breath. The /Prana 
/is energy. It is universal power, brightness, intelligence in this 
world. All these cosmic energies are named as light and 
/Prana./"/Yatkinchit Jagat Sarvam Drishyate Shruyatepiva/..This /Prana/ 
is filled in all that we see and hear, the inside and outside of all 
things, all movement etc. .
  The Prana is the source of all capabilities and the power in the 
universe. /Prana/ is the only power behind the normal functioning of the 
system of respiration (inhalation and exhalation), blood circulation, 
digestion, excretion of urine and stool, system producing semen, 
structure of our bones and also the nervous system.The working abilities 
of sensory organs and motor organs improve as each cell  gets extra 
nutrition. The secret of beauty of skin, shining of the face, brightness 
of the eyes, intelligence power and development of mental power is the 
result of the practice of Pranayama. The practice of Pranayama means 
oneness with cosmic energy. Pranayama Sadhana opens the doors of subtle 
life from the gross life "-  Swami Adhyatmananda. <<More>>

So Says Swami Sivananda


    * Be full of Joy always. Joy is the best blood tonic. Joy saves. Joy
      cures. Joy elevates. Joy is your essential nature.

    * Make life a perpetual joy. Derive joy from Satya. Derive joy from
      Tapas. Derive joy from Daya. Derive joy from Dana.

    * Give Joy to any living being. You give service and worship to the
      Lord.

    * Soar high always in the realms of divine pursuit and higher
      spiritual knowledge and realise the Lord of life, love and joy.

    * Within you is the fountain of Joy and Happiness. Practice; feel;
      assert; enjoy the supreme.
