Glories og Srimad Bhagawad Gita on auspicious Gita Jayanti (Dec 21,
2015) - Sri Swami Sivananda
"The Gita is the cream of the Vedas. It is the essence of the
soul-elevating Upanishads. It is a universal scripture applicable to
people of all temperaments and for all times. It is a wonderful book
with sublime thoughts and practical instructions on Yoga, devotion,
Vedanta and action. It is a marvelous book, profound in thought and
sublime in heights of vision. It brings peace and solace to souls that
are afflicted by the three fires of mortal existence, namely,
afflictions caused by one’s own body, those caused by beings around one,
and those caused by the gods."
"The Gita is not merely a book or just a scripture. It is a living
voice carrying an eternally indispensable and vital message to mankind.
Its verses embody words of wisdom coming from the infinite ocean of
knowledge, the Absolute Itself."
"The Gita is a source of power and wisdom. It strengthens you when you
are weak, and inspires you when you feel dejected and feeble. It teaches
you to embrace righteousness and to resist unrighteousness." - Swami
Sivananda << More>>

Birth Centenary Celebration of Guru Bhagawan Sri Swami Chidanandaji
Maharaj
<http://divyajivan.org/Chidananda%20Centenary%20celebration/index.htm>(Sept
24, 2015 -Sept 24, 2016)
/Vande Guru Paramparam/
Swami Chidanandji was addressing a public meeting at Town Hall,
Ahmedabad in 1986 in regard to the Centenary Celebrations of Gurudev
Swami Sivanandaji Maharaj. He explored the real significance behind the
centenary celebration in subtler terms. Swamiji emphasized that
centenary celebration of revered Gurudev is not simply meant to be an
occasion for paying tributes to Gurudev Sivananda, a doctor of body,
mind & soul but in a broader and philosophical terms, it is tantamount
to paying our gratitude and respects to the entire Guru Parampara, our
spiritual heritage and lineage of which he was a shining representative.
Sadasiva Samarambham Sankaracharya Madhyaman,
Asmad Acharya Paryantam Vande Guru-Paramparam.
I bow and pay homage to this long line of succession of Gurus that
originated from Sankar Bhagvan Himself and that had in its middle
Sankara Acharya, and to this day I pay homage to my own Guru, who is to
me the present representative of this spiritual lineage.

Yoga Learning from Swami Adhyatmananda
OMKAR - "Omkar Sadhana is the Prana of Spiritual Sadhana. Omkar is the
best Pranayam."
"The practice of Omkar destroys Tamasik thoughts and converts the
Rajasik thoughts into Sattvik thoughts. In long term if the people
living in all four directions on the earth start practising Omkar
regularly, the mental conflicts can be eliminated. Selfishness will
retire. Benevolence will be originated. The whole world can become a
family. The contradiction will decrease and smooth conversation will be
possible. The wind of pure selfless life will flow. Omkar is the highway
of world peace and welfare. Let us practice Omkar and make our life
successful".......- Swami Adhyatmananda << More>>.

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)
