"The Transcendental Divinity That Is Lord Rama"- Swami Sivananda
Sri Ramnavami ( March 28, 2015)
"The Name of Lord Rama is the greatest purifier of the heart. It wipes
away all one's sins. Not only this, but it wipes away the sinful
tendencies as well. The Name is sweeter than the sweetest of objects. It
is the haven of peace. It is the very life of pure souls. It is the
purifier of all purifying agencies. It quenches the consuming fire of
worldly desires. It awakens the knowledge of God. It bathes the aspirant
in the, ocean of divine bliss. Glory to Sri Rama and His Name!.......
None but the righteous can be truly happy. None but he who has the
correct sense of duty and the will for its implementation can be said to
live worthily. One must be imbued with a definite conviction about the
supremacy of moral principles, ethical values and spiritual ideals.
These ought to guide one's day-to-day actions and serve as powerful
means for the culture of the human personality. That is the purpose of
life. That is the way to Self-realisation. That is the message and the
mission of Lord Rama's Life on earth......" - Swami Sivananda<<

Birth Centenary Celebration of Guru Bhagawan Sri Swami Chidanandaji
Maharaj at Sivananda Ashram, Ahmedabad.

"Be a part of Celebrations and Be benefited "
Rendering The First Hand Service
Swamiji never missed any occasion of helping the poor and the sick in
course of his Parivrajaka life. Near Tirukoilur, while traveling in a
bus he saw an old lady who was destitute and blind. He immediately got
down from the bus and enquired about her
difficulties. He approached a Roman Catholic Priest and some Policemen
and ensured for the poor woman the necessary help before leaving the
place. While he was thus engaged in acts of service it would have been
difficult for one to think that he was a Parivrajaka Swami from the
Himalayas. Such acts of compassion have been one of the most dazzling
hallmarks of his personality. Whether he was in the New World of America
or engaged in the duties of Sivanandashram or in the far south moving
incognito as a lonely pilgrim, he never ignored an opportunity of
serving God in the poor and the sick.
Ram-Nam Year
The deep regard of Swamiji for Gandhiji is brought out from the
following lines which he declared on the occasion of the Gandhi
centenary celebrations in 1969: "It is a blessed year marking the
centenary of this truly great soul's advent upon earth. To me this
Gandhiyear really signifies a Ram-Nam year as well as a year of
truth-speaking, promise-keeping,self-searching, fasting and praying and
selfless serving. To me all these mean Gandhiji."

Yoga Learning from a book "Yoga, A way of life" by Sri 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>>

Gitamrutam
The man attains peace, who, abandoning all desires, moves about without
longing, without the sense of mine and without egoism. (2:71)
He who is ever happy within, who rejoices within, who is illumined
within, such a Yogi attains absolute freedom or Moksha, himself becoming
Brahman.(5:24)
The sages obtain absolute freedom or Moksha—they whose sins have been
destroyed, whose dualities (perception of dualities or experience of the
pairs of opposites) are torn asunder, who are self-controlled, and
intent on the welfare of all beings. (5:25)
Those who strive for liberation from old age and death, taking refuge in
Me, realise in full that Brahman, the whole knowledge of the Self and
all action. (7:29)
