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>>

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)
