Sri Hanuman Jayanti ( April 4, 2015)


"Hanuman was the living embodiment of the power of Ram-Nam. He was an 
ideal selfless worker, a true Karma Yogi who worked desirelessly. He was 
a great devotee and an exceptional Brahmachari or celibate. He served 
Sri Rama with pure love and devotion, without expecting any fruit in 
return. He lived only to serve Sri Rama."
  "Hanuman ranks first amongst the heroes of the world. His heroic 
deeds, wonderful exploits and marvelous feats of strength and bravery 
cannot be adequately described.He is a Chiranjeevi. He is everywhere. He 
who has eyes and devotion beholds him and receives his blessing"

"Hanuman possessed devotion, knowledge, spirit of selfless service, 
power of celibacy, and desirelessness. He never boasted of his bravery 
and intelligence." - Swami Sivananda << More>>

Brahmotsav of Sri Sri Ashtalaxmi Bahvan & Sri Chidananda Dhyana 
Mandir/Sri Ashtalaxmi Darshan

Devi is synonymous with Sakti or the Divine Power that manifests, 
sustains and transforms the universe as the one unifying force of 
Existence. By Devi or Sakti we mean the presupposition of all forms of 
existential power, the power of knowledge, of omniscience. These powers 
are the glorious attributes of God—you may call Him Vishnu or Siva or as 
you like. In other words, Sakti is the very possibility of the 
Absolute’s appearing as many, of God’s causing this universe. Sakti and 
Sakta are one; the Power and the one who possesses the Power cannot be 
separated; God and Sakti are like fire and heat of fire.
Devi-worship or Sakti-worship is therefore worship of God’s glory, of 
God’s greatness and supremacy. It is adoration of the Almighty. - Swami 
Sivananda <<more>> <http://divyajivan.org/ashtalakshmi/index.htm>

Chidananda Darshan - through Life incidence of Guru Maharaj
Birth Centenary Celebration of Guru Bhagawan Sri Swami Chidanandaji 
Maharaj at Sivananda Ashram, Ahmedabad. 
<http://divyajivan.org/Centenary%20celebration%20of%20GuruMaharaj/program%20schedule_DJSS.pdf>
"Be a part of Celebrations and Be benefited "

*"The Sculpture Owes It To The Sculptor"*
The thirty-ninth birthday of Swami Chidananda, in particular, was 
celebrated at the behest of the Holy Master with grand, festive 
rejoicings and great solemnity. Gurudev declared on this occasion, 
"Celebration of Swami Chidanandaji's birthday is really worship of God." 
He acknowledged Swamiji's attainment of the highest knowledge and 
honoured him with the sacred title of 'Adhyatma Jnana Jyoti', an 
embodiment of the Brahma Sutras and the Gita, who brought Upanishads 
from his heart. He made it open to all that the present
life of Chidananda was his last birth. He went to the extent to say, 
"Even I revere him as my Guru".
Swamiji was hailed by the devotees and seekers as Divinity incarnate. In 
his answer to the felicitations he said that he humbly accepted all 
their kind wishes and comments, and then emphasized that all that was 
only Guru Kripa. He likened himself to a piece of sculpture
and said that if at all there was any beauty in the statue, the credit 
was to go to the sculptor. He concluded by saying, "The divine engineer 
of Swami Chidananda is Swami Sivananda."

*"Prism Disperses The Light*"
Swamiji's 'Light Fountain' - a biographical piece on his Master which 
will for ever be read by all inquisitive readers as an incomparable 
spiritual document-bears thrilling witness to his deep appreciation of 
Gurudev. It is a masterful biographical writing
distinguished by a purity of style, musical organisation, and profound 
knowledge of its subject. The entirely unobtrusive manner of its 
presentation makes the reader always encounter in the pages Sivananda 
and not the author. Gurudev himself was so much
impressed by the spiritual fervour and wisdom contained in the book that 
he remarked, "Sivananda will pass away but 'Light Fountain' will live". 
While releasing the book in 1944 Swamiji had chosen to keep the 
authorship concealed under the pseudonym, Prism.
Chidananda is, indeed, the holy prism through which Gurudev had chosen 
to reveal his multicoloured personality for the benefit of the world.

Gitamrutam


Whatever thou doest, whatever thou eatest, whatever thou offerest in 
sacrifice, whatever thou givest, whatever thou practiseth as austerity, 
O Arjuna, do it as an offering unto Me! (9:27)


Therefore, without attachment, do thou always perform action which 
should be done; for, by performing action without attachment man reaches 
the Supreme. (3:19)


Having abandoned attachment to the fruit of the action, ever content, 
depending on nothing, he does not do anything though engaged in 
activity. (4:20)


Thus shalt thou be freed from the bonds of actions yielding good and 
evil fruits; with the mind steadfast in the Yoga of renunciation, and 
liberated, thou shalt come unto Me.(9:28)
