On the Subject of "Guru Mahima" for upcoming Guru Purnima (July 31, 2015)
"The Sadguru is Brahman Himself. He is an ocean of bliss, knowledge, and
mercy. He is the captain of your soul. He is he fountain of joy. He
removes all your troubles, sorrows, and obstacles. He shows you the
right divine path.
"Guru is God. A word from him is a word from God. He need not-teach
anything. Even his presence or company is elevating, inspiring, and
stirring, His very company is self-illumination. Living in his company
is spiritual education."
"Guru is the Moksha-dvara (door to liberation). He is the gateway to the
transcendental Truth-Consciousness. But, it is the aspirant who has to
enter through it. The, Guru is a help, but the actual task of practical
Sadhana (spiritual practice) falls on the aspirant himself" - Sri Swami
Sivananda <<More>> <http://divyajivan.org/sivananda/index.htm>

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 "
"Loving Service"
There was a Punjabi monk suffering from dangerous advanced form of
leprosy. He kept rolling on the road for some days and then requested a
teacher of the local school one day to carry him to the Sivanandashram.
Being aided by the teacher the patient managed to
reach the gateway of the Ashram when it was already 10 P.M. The night
Satsang was about to be over when the news came to Swamiji that a
patient was waiting for him. With a torch light in hand Swamiji walked
out to the spot where the patient was lying and saw his pitiable
condition. Immediately he carried him to the verandah of the Yoga
Sadhana Kutir and sent a word to Gurudev seeking his permission to
accommodate the patient inside the Ashram. The Master himself felt
overwhelmed with a sense of pity, and granted the necessary permission.
Swamiji then began nursing the patient with such love and care as hardly
a mother could surpass. He carried on this Seva for months together
combining the roles of friend, doctor, nurse, cook and sweeper. He even
cleaned the excreta of the unfortunate creature. When
the barber refused to cut his hair, he himself did the job.
Gurudev commented that Swamiji had wrought a miracle. The diseased monk,
who was given up as a lost case by every one else was now able to walk
about and take his bath himself. Gurudev said with great appreciation,
"Chidanandaji has given him a new lease of life through his loving
service." He added that he himself could have hardly served the patient
with such fullness of devotion.

"Glory to Guru" by Swami Adhyatmananda
"Gurupurnima is the day for worshipping the GURU. The Guru is a Master,
but He never makes His disciple a slave. Entire mission of Guru is to
turn His disciple into none else but great Guru only. The Guru says
“AHAM BRAHMASMI”, I’m Brahman. But never the less “TAT TWAM ASI” you are
that only. This purnima is a full moon day. When there is no hindrance
between sun and moon, this moon shines in its full bloom likewise when
disciple totally surrenders to His Guru, he too shines with Brahma
Vidya. Brahma Vidya is knowledge of Absolute. Brahma Vidya is the
highest knowledge after knowing that nothing remains to be known. It is
the grace of Guru upon his beloved disciple that after having received
Brahma Vidya, disciple has not to strive for any more gain. He becomes
full; he becomes contented, he rejoices supreme BLISS. He dives deep in
the eternity and divinity."
A Guru is necessary. Never finds fault in Guru, any action by Guru will
have a purpose in that; there is a meaning in that. Accept His command,
follow His instruction, just be humble, feel his hardship and serve Him
whole heartedly."- Swami Adhyatmananda << More> >

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 and intelligence. 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>>
