On the subject of /"Guru Tattva"/ on auspicious Gurupurniama ( July 19,
2016)
"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.
"The Guru is the boat, To cross this ocean of Samsara; The Guru is the
passport , To the kingdom of Eternal bliss;The Guru is the ladder , To
lift you to the peak of perfection.Serve your Guru well with Bhakti. You
will obtain his grace and reach the goal of life."
"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"
" Worship the Guru with the flowers of faith and devotion. Satsanga with
the Guru is the first pillar in the temple of Self-realisation. Grace of
God takes the form of Guru. To see the Guru is to see God. Blind is the
man who has not seen the divine Master. There is but one religion, the
religion of devotion and love to Guru." - Sri Swami Sivananda << More>>

" Chidananda Darshan" - through HIS Teaching
Birth Centenary Celebration of Guru Bhagawan Sri Swami Chidanandaji

108 Names of GuruMaharaj Sri Swami Chidanandaji Maharaj
<http://divyajivan.org/chidananda/chida_108names.htm>
"A living awareness of the here-and-now presence of the great Master
makes one a real follower of the great Master. If you are conscious and
aware of this presence, His presence is hundredfold more. If you are in
a state of forgetfulness with your thoughts elsewhere, you deprive
yourself of His presence, Therefore, cultivate the consciousness of the
permanent and perennial presence of the Master." He pervades all my
life. He is with me wherever I go. In and through me He continues to
live and to shine."
"You are never alone , even for a split second of time. You are always
under the gracious protecting presence of your Guru. The Guru never
leaves the soul He has called. He walks with you when you walk. He rests
with you when you rest. He broods over you while you slumber. He is the
one Being Who is unfailing. He is the one Being Who is eternally yours
and always with you."
"Just as the Guru is channel for the individual soul to re-link itself
with the universal Soul, even so, a channel between our Guru and
ourselves is called Guru- bhakti. True Guru-bhakti is divine power, it
is divine force."
"The more adverse the circumstances, the greater the manifestation of
grace; the greater the manifestation of Guru kripa. God's grace and Guru
Kripa are the obverse and reverse of the same coin. Guru Kripa is God's
grace manifesting in and through the Guru."
"It is the Guru that points out the path and makes us see the path
clearly. He points out the pitfalls and dangers upon the path, makes us
alert, vigilant jagrit. And, even as the sun initiates activity, so the
Guru inspires us to arise awake, seek knowledge, attain illumination and
become forever blessed. All this and more the Guru does."
" What is the sun if not its light? The sun is no sun if there is no
light. The sun is the sun because it radiates perennial light, an
inexhaustible, unbroken supply of light even so, the Guru is His jnana
upadesa." - Swami Chidananda

Learning of "Jeevan Yog" from a Yoga Acharya Swami Adhyatmananda
Through TV episodes of Jeevan Yoga Series by Doordarshan Girnar
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>>
