"Sankara is the foremost among
the master-minds and the giant souls which
Mother India has <img alt=""
src="cid:part2.01080603.09010401@divyajivan.org" align="left"
height="172" width="135">produced. He was the expounder of the
Advaita
philosophy.
Sankara was a giant metaphysician, a practical philosopher, an
infallible
logician, a dynamic personality and a stupendous moral and spiritual
force. His
grasping and elucidating powers knew no bounds. He was a fully
developed Yogi,
Jnani and Bhakta. He was a Karma Yogin of no mean order. He was a
powerful
magnet." "There is not one branch of knowledge which Sankara has left
unexplored
and which has not received the touch, polish and finish of his
superhuman intellect. The loftiness, calmness and firmness of his mind,
the impartiality with which he deals with various questions, his
clearness of expression-all these make us revere the philosopher more
and more. His teachings will continue to live as long as the sun
shines." - Swami Sivananda <a

"..... it is that immanence is key to divinity. Awareness of God’s
presence within and without, in all beings, in all creatures, in all

Yoga of the eleventh chapter of the Bhagavad Gita, the Yoga of the
first verse of the Isopanishad. What more can I say? Be aware, be aware
of God, aware of your relationship to Him, and make your life sublime
and divine and attain the supreme, grand goal of all spiritual
aspiration, of all spiritual life, of all spiritual <i>sadhana</i>,<i>
</i>of all spiritual living, the grand goal of God-consciousness
and divine perfection and liberation."- Swami Chidananda <a

Yes, one can surely control hunger, thirst, sleep, behavior,
thoughts and work by performance of Yogasanas and Pranayama. One can
live with
least consumption of food, water and sleep by practice of Shitali and
Shitkari
Pranayama. Practice of Bhujangasana reduces hunger.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Action taken to reduce the weight by
compulsory dieting
makes the body tired, sorrowful and depressed, whereas food consumed
with
proper understanding and practice of regular exercise as well as
Yoga-abhyasa
