Adoration & Prostrations Holy Master Swami Sivanandaji Maharaj on HIS 
Birth Anniversary (Sept 8, 2016)

"Gurudev’s life after Self-realisation, after becoming an enlightened 
sage and shining as a great light of the Himalayas, was a saga of 
selfless service—service of the poor, service of the suffering, service 
of the sick, service of the distressed, service of spiritual aspirants 
and seekers, service of all humanity, service of the whole world. In 
diverse, numerous ways, his entire life was one great, continuous stream 
of selfless service. He had even forgotten how to think of himself; he 
could only think of others. He lived thinking of others: "In what way 
can I be of benefit, in what way can I serve?" That was Gurudev Swami 
Sivanandaji Maharaj till the very last days."

"Gurudev declared in one of his eighteen handwritten autobiographical 
epistles: "I live to serve, to feed the hungry, to clothe the naked, to 
raise the fallen, to console the distressed. This is my mission in 
life." And anyone who has known him, anyone who has lived with him, 
anyone who has seen him instantly recognised: "Here is a totally 
selfless, dedicated human being." He fulfilled to the very letter the 
scriptural description of this type of realised soul, who having 
attained illumination, having done everything that has to be done, 
having no desires because all their desires have been fulfilled through 
God-realisation, are seen to be, in the words of the Gita, "intent on 
the welfare of all creatures." << More>>.

" Chidananda Darshan" - through HIS Teaching
Birth Centenary Celebration of Guru Bhagawan Sri Swami Chidanandaji 
Maharaj (Sept 24, 2015 -Sept 24, 2016)
<http://divyajivan.org/Chidananda%20Centenary%20celebration/index.htm>
“Wake up at dawn each day to salute the Universal Being. Bow down in 
adoration unto Him before you start the day. Go through the day 
serenely, full of happiness and contentment. There is nothing to condemn 
in this world. Change your angle of vision. Forego a grudge. Forgive an 
enemy. Stop anxiety and smile gently unto yourself. Feel that the whole 
world is the manifestation of the Lord and you are serving the Lord in 
all these names and forms. Convert life into Yoga. Strive to be a 
Sadachari and paropakari. God walks with the simple, reveals Himself 
through the sufferer, gives understanding to the noble and keeps His 
Grace from the haughty. So renounce ego, cultivate virtues and be free. 
Keep the mind always calm and peaceful. Be the conqueror of your mind, 
the subduer of your desires and a master of your destiny, for you are the
  master.” -Swami Chidananda

glorious example. You try to emulate them. You put those qualities into

sage. Swami Chidananda is all this and much more".

In Bhagawad Gita Lord Sri Krishna has described the characteristics of

Gitamrutam


The Blessed Lord said: When a man completely casts off, O Arjuna, all 
the desires of the mind and is satisfied in the Self by the Self, then 
is he said to be one of steady wisdom! (2:55)

The man attains peace, who, abandoning all desires, moves about without 
longing, without the sense of mine and without egoism.(2:71)


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)

At the end of many births the wise man comes to Me, realising that all 
this is Vasudeva (the innermost Self); such a great soul (Mahatma) is 
very hard to find. (7:19)
