<span style="color: black;">Biography of Swami Vivekananda by
Swami Sivananda<br>
<br>
" </span>Swami Vivekananda's gospel was one of hope, faith and
strength. He never succumbed to despair, for he knew that India was
capable of expansion and growth. His clarion call to the nation was:
"Awake, arise, and stop not till the goal is reached." - Swami
Sivananda <br>

Quotes of Swami Vivekananda<br>
<ul>
<li><font face="Verdana" size="2">"Do not go for glass beads
leaving the mine of diamonds. This life is a great chance. What,
seekest thou the pleasures of the world? He is the fountain of all
bliss. See for the highest, aim at that highest, and you <i>shall</i>
reach the highest."</font></li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><font face="Verdana" size="2">"In this external world,
which is full of finite things, it is impossible to see and find the
Infinite. The Infinite must be sought in that alone which is infinite,
and the only thing infinite about us is that which is within us, our
own soul. Neither the body, nor the mind, nor even our thoughts, nor
the world we see around us, is infinite."</font></li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li> <span
style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"> "</span><font
face="Verdana" size="2">Learn to feel yourself in other
bodies, to know that we are all one. Throw all other nonsense to the
winds. Spit out your actions, good or bad, and never think of them
again. What is done is done. Throw off superstition. Have no weakness
even in the face of death. Be free."</font></li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><font face="Verdana" size="2">"Meditation means the mind is
turned back upon itself. The mind stops all the thought-waves and the
world stops. Your consciousness expands. Every time you meditate you
will keep your growth."</font></li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><font face="Verdana" size="2">"Realize your true nature.
That is all there is to do. Know yourself as you are—infinite spirit.
That is practical religion. Everything else is impractical, for
everything else will perish."</font></li>
</ul>

</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">"The Divine Name is like a boatman who
touches both banks. He comes to this bank and he can take us across,
because he goes to the other bank as well. The Name has this great
advantage."<br>
"Patanjali has a <i>sutra </i>which says that perfection can be
obtained through repetition of the Name. And Jagat Guru Lord Krishna
says: “He who repeats My Name at the time of leaving the body attains
Me. He does not return once again into this mortal world.” <i>Abheda</i>,<i>
abhedata </i>of <i>
nama </i>and <i>nami </i>(The non-difference, identity of the Lord
and His Name) has been established by the direct experience of those
who have practised this path and attained perfection."- Swami

What is the importance of Flexibility
exercises?<br>
</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> Flexibility is important because having
flexible muscles allows your
joints to move through a full range of motion. You need a certain
amount of flexibility to move smoothly, avoid muscle tension and to
keep your body protected from injury. </p>
<p>Stretching is one way to keep the body flexible, especially
the muscles that are tight as a result of bad posture.
Although stretching is typically the most overlooked part of an
exercise routine, it's an important one and, for many of us, the best
part of the workout.<a
