"Glory of Guru-Bhakti Yoga " by Swami Sivananda on auspicious Guru
Purnima ( July 9, 2017 )
" 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."
"Everyone who longs to transcend misery and obtain joy and happiness in
life should sincerely practise Guru-Bhakti Yoga. True lasting happiness
can be had by taking recourse to Guru Seva Yoga. Guru-Bhakti Yoga
confers immortality, eternal bliss, freedom, perfection, perennial joy
and everlasting peace.
"An earnest and sincere disciple gives his whole heart and soul to the
service of his preceptor. An earnest disciple finds means to serve his
Guru, under all circumstances. He who endures all the difficulties while
serving his Guru conquers his lower nature. Disciple must be ever
grateful to his Guru who has shown the path to peace."
"Everyone who longs to transcend misery and obtain joy and happiness in
life should sincerely practise Guru-Bhakti Yoga. True lasting happiness
can be had by taking recourse to Guru Seva Yoga. Swami Sivananda

Early Morning Meditation Talks from Ponder These Truths by Sri Swami
Chidananda
"The Guru is HIS Teachings"
"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

" Glory To Guru " by Sri Swami Adhyatmananda
"Gurupurnima is the day for worshipping the GURU. The Guru is a Master,
but He never makes His disciple a slave. Entire mission of Guru is to
turn His disciple into none else but great Guru only. The Guru says
“AHAM BRAHMASMI”, I’m Brahman. But never the less “TAT TWAM ASI” you are
that only. This purnima is a full moon day. When there is no hindrance
between sun and moon, this moon shines in its full bloom likewise when
disciple totally surrenders to His Guru, he too shines with Brahma
Vidya. Brahma Vidya is knowledge of Absolute. Brahma Vidya is the
highest knowledge after knowing that nothing remains to be known. It is
the grace of Guru upon his beloved disciple that after having received
Brahma Vidya, disciple has not to strive for any more gain. He becomes
full; he becomes contented, he rejoices supreme BLISS. He dives deep in
the eternity and divinity."
A Guru is necessary. Never finds fault in Guru, any action by Guru will
have a purpose in that; there is a meaning in that. Accept His command,
follow His instruction, just be humble, feel his hardship and serve Him
whole heartedly."- Swami Adhyatmananda << More> >

Learning of "Jeevan Yog" from a Yoga Acharya Swami Adhyatmananda
Through TV episodes of "Jeevan Yoga"
<http://divyajivan.org/Jeevan%20Yoga/Index.htm> 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>>

Gitamrutam
Humility, unpretentiousness, non-injury, forgiveness, uprightness,
service of the teacher, purity, steadfastness, self-control(13:7)
Know that by long prostration, by question and by service, the wise who
have realised the Truth will instruct thee in (that) knowledge.(4:34)
Knowing that, thou shalt not, O Arjuna, again become deluded like this;
and by that thou shalt see all beings in thy Self and also in Me!(4:35)
