New Year Message by Swami Sivananda
On this glorious New Year’s day make a strong resolve to wipe away all 
the old worldly Vasanas or tendencies and bad impressions and to control 
the senses and the mind.

Know the value of time. Time is most precious. Utilise every second 
profitably. Live every moment of your life for the realisation of your 
ideal and goal. Do not procrastinate. That "tomorrow" will never come. 
Now or never. Abandon idle gossiping. Kill egoism, laziness and inertia. 
Forget the past. A glorious and brilliant future is awaiting you.

Equal vision is the touchstone of knowledge. Unselfishness is the 
touchstone of virtue. Brahmacharya is the touchstone of ethics. Oneness 
is the touchstone of Self-realisation. Humility is the touchstone of 
devotion. Therefore, be unselfish, humble and pure. Develop equal 
vision. Be in tune with the Infinite. -Swami Sivananda << More>>

Chidananda Darshan - through Life incidence of Guru Maharaj
Birth Centenary Celebration of Guru Bhagawan Sri Swami Chidanandaji 
Maharaj (Sept 24, 2015 -Sept 24, 2016)

"Spiritual Leaders Meet"

Mr. Pinardes was keen to arrange a meeting between Swamiji and the Pope. 
It was through his efforts that Pope Paul VI and Swamiji Maharaj met in 
a semi-private audience on the 19th February, 1969. The Pope was so much 
filled with love at the very sight of this Indian saint that throwing to 
the winds the usual Vatican formalities he caught hold of the hands of 
Swamiji and kept them in his hands for a long time, exchanging words of 
courtesy with great feeling. He greeted Swamiji in the Indian style and 
Swamiji responded by greeting the Pope in Western fashion by kneeling 
down in the name of Gurudev Sivananda. The moment the Pope heard the 
name of Sivananda he lovingly muttered, "I have heard of your Master's 
noble spiritual work. I appreciate very much your holy Master's 
spiritual work." Swamiji presented to the Pope Gurudev's work Bliss 
Divine as a token of love and regard. The Pope accepted the offering 
with immense joy and promised that he would read it with interest. 
During their talk he repeatedly exclaimed, "I love India. I love India," 
and said at one stage, "India is a wonderful place. I look forward to 
visiting India once again". << More>>

Can those having High Blood Pressure practice Asanas?

All the Asanas excepting Shirsasana can be practiced. All the Asanas can 
be performed without any fear. But the special Asanas and Pranayama that 
can offer benefits are; Shashankasana, Shavasana and Pranayama carried 
out with ease

Gitamrutam


Perform action, O Arjuna, being steadfast in Yoga, abandoning attachment 
and balanced in success and failure! Evenness of mind is called Yoga.(2:48)

Endowed with wisdom (evenness of mind), one casts off in this life both 
good and evil deeds; therefore, devote thyself to Yoga; Yoga is skill in 
action.(2:50)


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)
