Deepavali , A Festival of light, Joy & Illumination ( October23, 2014) 
by Sri Swami Sivananda

"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"

"O Ram! The light of lights, the self-luminous inner light of the Self 
is ever shining steadily in the chamber of your heart. Sit quietly. 
Close your eyes. Withdraw the senses. Fix the mind on this supreme light 
and enjoy the real Deepavali, by attaining illumination of the soul."

"May you all attain full inner illumination! May the supreme light of 
lights enlighten your understanding! May you all attain the 
inexhaustible spiritual wealth of the Self! May you all prosper 
gloriously on the material as well as spiritual planes!"

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

  "Surrender"
  " It is our ego-sense that we surrender, the idea "I am doing." We 
surrender our self-will and put ourselves into His hands, so that we act 
as He dictates, we act as He teaches. So action is there, but no more 
self-will, no more action prompted by the mind, but action according to 
the will of God, according to the wisdom teachings of God and His saints."

  When you put yourself under the will of God and His wisdom teachings, 
then you are a self-controlled person. You will not allow the senses to 
do whatever they wish or the mind to do whatever it wishes - Swami 
Chidananda.<<More>> <http://divyajivan.org/ponder_these_truths/index.htm>

Deepavali Greetings by Sri Swami Adhyatmananda

Radiant Immortal Divinities,
Hari Om ! Om Namo Narayanaya!
Loving Pranams ! Happy Diwali !
May Almighty Lord and Sri Gurudev H. H. Sri Swami Sivanandaji Maharaj's 
grace be ever upon you all! May you all rejoice in the Lord, Sing His 
Divine Name and abide in Him ! He is HERE and NOW.

Days, months and years come and go. We too grow old. Day by day our 
energy level comes down. But, so what ? Our understanding grows more and 
more. Our clarity and concept of life becomes more and more clear. The 
meaning at the end of the life is brightening each day more and 
illumining more, vibrantly in every breath.

Seek that eternity of eternal unfading beauty of the Prana, The very 
cosmic energy. When there was no Sun, Moon, Jupiter or Saturn, when 
there were no earth, fire or water, these Prana and sky were there.

So, in the light of this tiny lamp delight in Eternity of Absolute 
Reality,  feel that I am walking in the Light, in the light, in the 
light of Lord, in the Light of the Lord. This Light is your very nature. 
You are the Light of the Light, the Joy of the Joy and Peace of the 
Peace. You are born Divine. Seek the Refuge of Prana, the Cosmic Energy 
within you . You will abide in that very Divinity and that is the only 
very aim of your life.

May God Gurudev bless you in all the efforts and in the right direction 
of your Life Divine!  God be With all of you!
Shine and prosper, Happy Diwali!
Thy Own Self,
Swami Adhyatmananda

On "Health Topics" from a Book " Yoga & Health " by Sri  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. <<More>>

Gitamrutam

To those men who worship Me alone, thinking of no other, of those ever 
united, I secure what is not already possessed and preserve what they 
already possess.(9:22)

Fix thy mind on Me; be devoted to Me; sacrifice unto Me; bow down to Me; 
having thus united thy whole self with Me, taking Me as the Supreme 
Goal, thou shalt verily come unto Me.( 9:34)

Fix thy mind on Me, be devoted to Me, sacrifice to Me, bow down to Me. 
Thou shalt come even to Me; truly do I promise unto thee, (for) thou art 
dear to Me.(18:65)

  Abandoning all duties, take refuge in Me alone; I will liberate thee 
from all sins; grieve not. (18:66)
