Lord Ganesha is an embodiment of wisdom and bliss. He is the Lord of 
Brahmacharins. He is the foremost among Brahmacharins or celibates. He 
is the Lord who removes all obstacles on the path of the spiritual 
aspirant, and bestows upon him worldly as well as spiritual success. 
Hence He is called Vigna Vinayaka. His Bija Akshara (root syllable) is 
Gung, pronounced to rhyme with the English word "sung". He is the Lord 
of harmony and peace Swami Sivananda /<<More>>

S*wami Sivananda - "The Man for the Mankind"

HTML clipboard "Gurudev Sri Swami Sivanandaji Maharaj was the Man for 
the Mankind. Each breath of his life He breathed to serve, love and give 
the best what He could give or the best He could do for the Mankind. He 
was a Godman, filled with wonderful love in his heart. From head to toe 
he was oozing with divine nectar of love, love and love only. He lived 
all his life for the good of mankind and He became a person beloved by 
countless people all over the world. He was himself a personification of 
joy and enjoyed to laugh and make other people laugh too. He was a man 
of wit and radiated cheerfulness, made visitors forget all their sorrows 
and troubles and brought joy and hope into their lives. He did not 
discriminate between East and West, this country or that country, this 
race or that race, this religion or that religion. He was also a person 
of great compassion, understanding and sympathy. His personality was 
such that He immediately made everyone feel that they belonged to Him 
and He belonged to them."  - Swami Adhyatmananda << More>>

Early Morning Meditation Talk from " Ponder These truths" by Swami 
Chidananda

"Knowledge is Meant to be Lived"
HTML clipboard

Philosophy and spirituality, of which you are all students, are to be 
known, but more than acquiring knowledge, a student of philosophy and 
spirituality must also try to acquire the practical wisdom of how to fit 
this newly gained knowledge into his daily life, thoughts, words and 
actions. In short, "how can I live in the light of this philosophy? how 
can I base my life upon this philosophy? whatever I have learned in 
Yoga, how can I turn it into a new form, into my day-to-day life and 
actions?" This you must know.

Philosophy and Vedanta are both for knowing and for living. If they are 
only known, you become a /pundit/,//a scholar, a professor, a lecturer. 
You will be highly regarded. You will be able to teach philosophy to 
others, impart the knowledge of Yoga to others, but you yourself will 
not be a Yogi, a /sadhak/.//For it is whether the philosophy, which has 
made you a learned person and /pundit/,//is seen to manifest in your 
everyday life and actions, philosophy in action, philosophy in 
application---that determines whether or not you can be regarded as a 
spiritual person.

What is the purpose in knowing? This has to be well thought out. The 
correct attitude towards all philosophy, all Vedanta, all Yoga has to be 
cultivated, and it should be constantly, actively applied in daily 
life.<< More>> <http://divyajivan.org/ponder_these_truths/index.htm>

On Health Topics from a book " Yoga and health " by Swami Adhyatmananda

Osteoporosis :  What Is Oseoporosis ? How Does the Osteoporosis Treated 
& Prevented? Does Practice of Flexibility exercises & Yogasana help ? 
Which Yogasana is recommended?
Osteoporosis is a condition characterized by the loss of the normal 
density of bone, resulting in fragile bone. Osteoporosis leads to 
literally abnormally porous bone that is more compressible like a 
sponge, than dense like a brick. This disorder of the skeleton weakens 
the bone causing an increase in the risk for breaking bones (bone fracture).

Here the importance of proper nutrition can't undermined. Regular 
practice of flexibility exercises, Yogasana and Pranayama is essential 
for prevention and treatment of Osteoporosis. HTML clipboard <<More>>

"Being with Him in close proximity, you observe how immeasurable 
devotion Pujya Swamiji has for His Gurudev! At every moment, whether he 
is thinking, talking, delivering discourses, eating, you observe that 
Guru/Smarana/ is unbroken. He is breathing and living for Gurudev. You 
feel that as if, SIVA is working through HIM. Then, you start seeing 
SIVA's presence in your life at each step of the way and that HE assumes 
different forms for you. It is such a wonderful experience. It is all 
Guru's Grace. That is the Glory of Guru."- sevak

"Swami Adhyatmananda carries the gift of Love and Light wherever he 
goes. During his time with our community in South/Central New Jersey, 
Swamiji touched the hearts of all, bringing Healing Blessings to all. We 
are forever grateful for the time we spend with Him." -  Sharon (Sudha)

*Gitamrutam

*Freed from attachment, fear and anger, absorbed in Me, taking refuge in 
Me, purified by the fire of knowledge, many have attained to My Being.( 
4:10)
**

**He whose undertakings are all devoid of desires and (selfish) 
purposes, and whose actions have been burnt by the fire of 
knowledge,---him the wise call a sage.(4:19)

  Even if thou art the most sinful of all sinners, yet thou shalt verily 
cross all sins by the raft of knowledge.(4:36)

As the blazing fire reduces fuel to ashes, O Arjuna, so does the fire of 
knowledge reduce all actions to ashes!(4:37)

Verily there is no purifier in this world like knowledge. He who is 
perfected in Yoga finds it in the Self in time.(4:38)
**
******
The man who is full of faith, who is devoted to it, and who has subdued 
all the senses, obtains (this) knowledge; and, having obtained the 
knowledge, he goes at once to the supreme peace. (4:39)
