align="right" height="157" width="123"> one's sins. Not only this, but
it wipes away the sinful tendencies
as well.
The Name is sweeter than the sweetest of objects. It is the haven of
peace. It
is the very life of pure souls. It is the purifier of all purifying
agencies. It
quenches the consuming fire of worldly desires. It awakens the
knowledge of God.
It bathes the aspirant in the, ocean of divine bliss. Glory to Sri Rama
and His
Name!.......<br>
</p>
<p>".....Righteousness is the spiritual spark of life.
Cultivation of
righteousness is the process of unfoldment of the latent divinity in
man. The glorious incarnation of the
Supreme Being in the form of Lord Rama has exemplified the path of
righteousness. Let mankind follow His footsteps and practice the ideals
cherished by Him, for it is only thus that there can be everlasting
peace,
prosperity and welfare in this world."</p>
<p>"None but the righteous can be truly happy. None but he who
has
the
correct
sense of duty and the will for its implementation can be said to live
worthily.
One must be imbued with a definite conviction about the supremacy of
moral
principles, ethical values and spiritual ideals. These ought to guide
one's
day-to-day actions and serve as powerful means for the culture of the
human
personality. That is the purpose of life. That is the way to
Self-realisation.
That is the message and the mission of Lord Rama's Life on
earth......"-

<b>"Surrender"</b><br>
" It is our ego-sense that we surrender, the idea “I am doing.” We
surrender our self-will and put ourselves into His hands, so that we
act as He dictates, we act as He teaches. So action is there, but no
more self-will, no more action prompted by the mind, but action
according to the will of God, according to the wisdom teachings of God
and His saints."<br>
<br>
When you put yourself under the will of God and His wisdom teachings,
then you are a self-controlled person. You will not allow the senses to
do whatever they wish or the mind to do whatever it wishes - Swami
Chidananda.....<a

height="151" width="100">"Hyperacidity" <span style="font-size: 11pt;"><br>
</span><span style="font-size: 11pt;">One of the main reasons of
hyperacidity is gluttony. Besides gluttony, the use of
extra condiments, more than necessary chilies, eating more fried items,
lack of salad and fibers in the food, not consuming milk(other dairy
products),
dislike of
consumption of fruits, to eat at odd hours, to eat without proper
chewing, to
eat hurriedly, to eat while talking and lack of exercise all are the
additional reasons responsible for bad
digestion and acidity. <br>
</span><span style="font-size: 11pt;">A man must eat just enough
to fill half of his stomach; one fourth stomach should be filled with
water and
remaining one fourth be kept empty for the gas. Performance of Kunjal
Kriya , Bhujangasana, Shalbhasana, Bhastrika Pranayama,
Jalandhara bandha, Suryanamaskara, and Shavasana regularly with proper
control of food intake and the use of medicine in some cases definitely
brings
in happy
and
composed health.</span><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> </span>- Swami

With
knowledge or without knowledge, correctly or incorrectly, when the
word "Rama" is pronounced, it showers a rain of good on the
devotee. <i>Sri Rama Brahma Tarakam</i>: Sri Rama is Brahman who takes
one
across Samsara. Rama is one in whom yogins sport (<i>Ramante</i>) i.e.,
the Self within. Once you take refuge in Him, your welfare becomes His
responsibility."- Swami Sivananda
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p>"</o:p>Indeed the power of God’s Name
is simply marvelous. It can take man to the highest and loftiest truth
of world existence. The Name grants him a state of unalterable freedom,
bliss & peace."- Papa Ramdas <o:p> </o:p></p>
"What is it that can link us with that which is beyond thought, speech
and mind, beyond the grasp of the intellect? The path of the Divine
Name in this Kali Yuga is the supreme, the least complicated, the most
efficacious, unfailing, simple and powerful path."- Swami Chidananda<br>
