Himself, incarnate on earth for the destruction of Ravana. Lord Rama
was the best of men with a sterling character. He was the very image of
love. He was an ideal son, an ideal brother, an ideal husband, an ideal
friend and an ideal king. He can be taken to embody all the highest
ideals of man. He led the ideal life of a householder to teach the
tenets of righteousness to humanity. He ruled His people so well that
it came to be known as Ram-Rajya, which meant the rule of
righteousness, the rule which bestows happiness and prosperity on
all.".......<i><br>

"Ram-Nam burns ignorance, passion and sin. With or without knowledge,
correctly or incorrectly, when the word "Rama" is pronounced it showers
a rain of good upon the devotee. Sri Rama is Brahman who takes one
across the ocean of worldly existence. Rama is one in across whom the
Yogis sport, that is, the Self within"- Swami Sivananda...........<a

<p class="MsoNormal"><b>From Knowledge to Experience </b><br>
</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">"Knowledge is the knowing of things and
wisdom is the understanding and experiencing of things.....When
knowledge rises above a certain point it matures into wisdom and gains
a loftiness. Then it turns into a flash of intuition. Everything
becomes revealed, everything becomes understood instantaneously.
Intuition replaces knowledge, knowing turns into being, and life
becomes infused by wisdom." </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">"This process of the fruition of knowledge
comes through a constant, earnest, sincere and reverential process of
contemplating knowledge, reflecting over knowledge that has been
obtained and, day by day, trying to apply this knowledge, live in the
light of this knowledge, bring this knowledge into our daily thoughts,
feelings, attitudes and reactions to life around us." </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">"Ponder day after day and live a life of
knowledge as an applied process-knowledge in practice, knowledge in
living. And thus make life itself a gradual process of the fruition of
this knowledge into wisdom and ultimately into experience that makes
you a liberated being."....... - Swami Chidananda <a

height="187" width="133"><br>
<p><b>Surya Namaskara</b> or <b>Sun Salutation</b> ("salute to
the
sun"), is a common sequence of Hatha Yoga asanas. Its origins lie in a
worship of Surya, the Hindu Solar deity. This sequence of movements and
poses
can be practised on varying levels of awareness, ranging from that of
physical
exercise in various styles, to a complete sadhana, which incorporates
asana,
pranayama, mantra and chakra meditation.</p>
<p>The physical base of the practice links together twelve <i>asanas</i>
in a
dynamically performed series. These <i>asanas</i> are ordered so that
they
alternately stretch the spine backwards and forwards. When performed in
the
usual way, each <i>asana</i> is moved into with alternate inhalation
and
exhalation (except for the sixth <i>asana</i> where the breath is held
in
external suspension). A full round of <i>Surya namaskara</i> is
considered to
be two sets of the twelve poses with a change in the second set to
moving the
opposite leg first through the series.<a

<li> If you are sincere and regular in your Sadhana, The Lord
will bestow HIS fullest Grace and crown your life with Peace, bliss and
immortality.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Dispassion and faith are pre-requisites for Spiritual
Sadhana. Persevere. Slowly increase the time spent in religious
practices, by reducing wastage in idle talks, and other useless
pursuits.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>An aspirant must have purity of mind, a real thirst for
knowledge and
perseverance. Do the work of self -purification rigorously. Grow in
spiritual strength day by day. No one who is thirsting for name, fame,
power and lordship and enjoyment here, or elsewhere, can achieve
success in Yoga. </li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li> Create your inner world. Carry with you, your own inner
companions,
viz; Shanti ( peace), Santosh ( contentment), enquiry and courage.The
real spiritual progress of the aspirant is measured by the extent to
which he achieves inner tranquility.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li> <b>Remember and practice the six Ss. Shanti, Santosh,
Satsanga, Satya,
Serenity and Seclusion. Hear what is auspicious, see what is
auspicious. Do what is auspicious. You will soon attain
Self-realization.</b></li>
