" Satsanga" - by Swami Sivananda
" Satsanga is the greatest of all purifiers and illuminators of man. It
is extremely difficult to come in contact with saint and to be benefited
by his company. It is through divine grace only one will get his darshan
and satsanga. A realized sage or saint is a fountain of delight, joy
and illumination. Seek his company and evolve. Serve him with faith and
devotion. Follow the teachings of saints and sages, the perfected
Beings, the seers of truth."
"Satsanga means the company of the Satpurushas. Satpurushas are those
who have realised truth as well as those who are aspirants after truth.
Those people who have renounced egoism, greed, lust, etc., are
Satpurushas. Those people who have attained equal vision, balanced mind,
unflinching devotion to the Lord, are Satpurushas. Those people who are
endowed with peace, bliss, contentment, simplicity, fearlessness,
humility, powerful voice, a face beaming with the glow of saintliness,
etc., are Satpurushas.
"There is no difference between God and a realized Bhagavata. Both are
identical. A sage is God Himself. The Upanishad declares: “He who knows
Brahman becomes Brahman.” The glow of a sage is infinite and eternal as
that of Brahman. - Swami Sivananda << More>>

Chidananda Darshan - through Life incidence of Guru Maharaj
Birth Centenary Celebration of Guru Bhagawan Sri Swami Chidanandaji
Maharaj at Sivananda Ashram, Ahmedabad.

"Be a part of celebrations and Be benefited "
"Sthita Prajna"
Swami Chinmayananda, the illustrious saint-scholar, was giving a series
of discourses on Gita during his Gita Jnana Yajna at Lucknow in 1977. In
course of his talk he dealt with the characteristics of a Sthita Prajna,
the ideal Godman of the holy scripture. At the end of the talk Prof.
Varma who was, indeed, very much impressed, sought an interview with
Chinmayanandaji and put the straight question - Is the ideal Godman of
Gita a mere scriptural representation or a living reality? Is there
anybody in India today who may
fittingly be called a Sthita Prajna?
The erudite monk who is not given to easy praise paused for a moment and
then replied with all seriousness and solemnity - Yes. There are such
great ones. One is Mother Anandamayi and the other is Swami Chidananda.
One should behold them and get sanctified
"Humility Incarnate"
Akhandanandaji pays homage to Swamiji as the very incarnation of
humility. Once while addressing an audience in Haridwar he said, 'Swami
Chidananda is the very embodiment of humility. If any body wishes to
behold humility incarnate and learn to be humble, he
should approach Chidanandaji. In this age it is rare to find a saint
with such remarkable humility." Swami Sharananandaji had similar views
about Swamiji. Humility is, indeed, the hallmark of Swamiji's
personality, a quality that singles him out in the world of saints as
the very incarnation of "Amanitva."

Yoga Learning from a book "Yoga, A way of life" by Sri Swami Adhyatmananda
Prana - "The true meaning of Prana is not only breath. The Prana is
energy. It is universal power, brightness, light andintelligence. All
these cosmic energies are named as Prana."Yatkinchit Jagat Sarvam
Drishyate Shruyatepiva..This Prana is filled in all that we see and
hear, the inside and outside of all things, all movement etc. in this world.
The Prana is the source of all capabilities and the power in the
universe. Prana is the only power behind the normal functioning of the
system of respiration (inhalation and exhalation), blood circulation,
digestion, excretion of urine and stool, system producing semen,
structure of our bones and also the nervous system.The working abilities
of sensory organs and motor organs improve as each cell gets extra
nutrition. The secret of beauty of skin, shining of the face, brightness
of the eyes, intelligence power and development of mental power is the
result of the practice of Pranayama. The practice of Pranayama means
oneness with cosmic energy. Pranayama Sadhana opens the doors of subtle
life from the gross life "- Swami Adhyatmananda. <<More>>

Gitamrutam
The man attains peace, who, abandoning all desires, moves about without
longing, without the sense of mine and without egoism. ( 2:71)
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)
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)
This is the Brahmic seat (eternal state), O son of Pritha! Attaining to
this, none is deluded. Being established therein, even at the end of
life one attains to oneness with Brahman.( 2:72)
Happy Birthday Pujya Swamiji ( May 3, 2015)
Gurudevarpanmastu!
