Blessed thou art,
that hast visualised with thy fleshly eyes the mighty Dignity of the
Supreme
Sovereign of the Universe! Thou art purified; thy birthright is to
realise Him;
thy fortune is a part of His Greatness! Sri Krishna may be called the
"Collective Man", who represented all beings hungering and thirsting
to gain the Highest Freedom and who voiced forth their deepest
aspirations in
the loudest possible tone. He came to release man from the thraldom of
vice and
correct his vision so that he could walk along the ever-illumined path
to
perfection. Sri Krishna is the articulation of the pure longings that
are buried
in the hearts of people. Sri Krishna is not merely a historical man who
came and
went, like others, but the Eternal Purusha who dwells even now and
shall live in
the everlasting future, in the core of all manifestation. It is the
Symbol of
the Absolute descended into relativity that we call Krishna, the
ever-beloved
protector of all that breathe and air."- Swami Sivananda <a

<b>Temptation: </b>“<i>Kamah krodhascha lobhascha dehe tisthanti
taskarah
jnanaratnapaharaya tasmat jagrata jagrata</i>—Lust anger and greed,
they are dacoits to rob and plunder the pearl of wisdom, not coming
from outside to assail or invade you, but residing within your own
body. Therefore, be awake, be awake,” says Sankaracharya in Vairagya
Dindima."<br>
<p>"We invite temptations; we go into that area where we are
tempted. We cultivate the company of such persons who are our
temptation, who are our downfall, who are the ones through whom these
lower propensities assail us, by whom they are stimulated and made
manifest"....... </p>
<p>"Turn to God for help and you will receive it without fail,
unfailingly. Turn to Him every day in meditation—meditation with faith,
meditation with love, meditation with humility. And be on guard against
these inner enemies to which you are host, inner enemies dwelling
within your self, meaning you no good. This is the mystery of God and
His creation, the great <i>maya </i>which is <i>
duratyaya </i>(difficult to cross). Be on guard, never lay down arms,
never give way. Always know that one day you have to overcome and you
will overcome".- Swami Chidananda <a

is a chronic disease that affects your airways. Your airways are
tubes that carry air in and out of your lungs. If<img alt=""
src="cid:part5.01020508.02070102@divyajivan.org" align="right"
height="151" width="100"> you have asthma, the inside
walls of your airways become sore and swollen. That makes them very
sensitive,
and they may react strongly to things that you are allergic to or find
irritating. When your airways react, they get narrower and your lungs
get less
air. This can cause wheezing, coughing, chest tightness and trouble
breathing,
especially early in the morning or at night.<br>
<span style="font-size: 11pt;"> Regular practice of Bhujangasana,
</span>Dhanurasana, Shavasana,
Ujjai, Kapalbhati, Bhastrika, <span style="font-size: 11pt;">Omkar,
Jalneti,
Sutraneti and Kunjal processes can be very beneficial in managing the
disease of asthma but proper medical consultation should be obtained. <o:p></o:p></span>Management
includes avoiding asthma triggers and tracking your symptoms. You may
need to
regularly take long-term control medications to prevent flare-ups and
short-term "rescue" medications to control symptoms once they start.<span
