*"Glory of Guru-Bhakti  Yoga " by Swami Sivananda on auspicious Guru 
Purnima * *( July 3, 2012 ) *


" Worship the Guru with the flowers of faith and devotion. Satsanga with 
the Guru is the first pillar in the temple of Self-realisation.Grace of 
God takes the form of Guru. To see the Guru is to see God. Blind is the 
man who has not seen the divine Master. There is but one religion, the 
religion of devotion and love to Guru."

"Everyone who longs to transcend misery and obtain joy and happiness in 
life should sincerely practise Guru-Bhakti Yoga. True lasting happiness 
can be had by taking recourse to Guru Seva Yoga. Guru-Bhakti Yoga 
confers immortality, eternal bliss, freedom, perfection, perennial joy 
and everlasting peace." Swami Sivananda <<More>>

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

*
No One Can Give You Salvation*

“No one can give salvation to any individual except that individual 
himself or herself.”
“You have to work for liberation from sorrow and the attainment of 
bliss; no one can give it to you; you obtain it by your own effort. In 
spite of all that has been said about Guru’s grace and divine /kripa 
/and miracles, nevertheless, the truth is that supreme state of 
blessedness is something you can give to yourself; no one else can give 
it to you.” ........Swami  Chidananda <<More>>

*Yoga Learning through  a book  "Yoga, a way of Life" by Swami 
Adhyatmananda *

Primary & Main 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>>

*Guru's Grace *


  *
    "A living awareness of the here-and-now presence of the great Master
    makes one a real follower of the great Master. If you are conscious
    and aware of this presence, His presence is hundredfold more. If you
    are in a state of forgetfulness with your thoughts elsewhere, you
    deprive yourself of His presence, Therefore, cultivate the
    consciousness of the permanent and perennial presence of the
    Master." He pervades all my life. He is with me wherever I go. In
    and through me He continues to live and to shine." - Swami Chidananda

  *
    "What is the nature of Guru's grace? It is beyond thought and word.
    Then how can it be said that the devotee realises his true Being by
    virtue of the Guru's grace? It is like the elephant which wakes up
    on seeing a lion in its dream. Even as the elephant wakes up at the
    mere sight of the lion, so too is it certain that the disciple wakes
    up from the sleep of ignorance to the knowledge of Real. It is true
    and certain." - Sri Ramana Maharshi

  *
    "The Guru is the boat,  To cross this ocean of Samsara; The Guru is
    the passport , To the kingdom of Eternal bliss;The Guru is the
    ladder , To lift you to the peak of perfection. Serve your Guru well
    with Bhakti. You will obtain his grace and reach the goal of life."
    - Sri Swami Sivananda
