"Serve Humanity And Seek Divinity" by Swami Sivananda<br>

width="150">"Life is Sadhana. Living is spiritual
process. All actions—mental, verbal and
physical—constitute Yajna. Yajna or self-giving is the
fundamental principle and Paropakara (doing good to
others) is the Mulamantra (the basic sacred formula) of
this life.<br>
<br>
The Message of Divine Life is: 'See God in all faces.
Serve all. Love all. Be kind to all. Be compassionate.
Feel everyone to be your own. Serve your fellow beings in
the spirit of worship offered to the Divine which indwells
them. Service of man is truly the worship of God.' <br>
<br>
Live with understanding and wisdom. Understand the meaning
and purpose of life. Understand your real nature and why
you are here. Here on earth you are but a passing
traveller. Here all things are temporary. All things pass.
Therefore seek the eternal. Your real nature is not
earthly. It is spiritual and deathless. To realise your
Reality, your eternal identity is the purpose of your
life. While you strive diligently for this inner
experience cultivate Ideal Relationship with the world
around you. To all beings relate yourself with nobility,
sympathy, kindness, love, selflessness and the desire to
serve all". - Swami Sivananda <a

Radiant Divinities! Beloved sadhaks and seekers! An
intelligent person makes use of every opportunity that God
provides him or her in this upward ascent towards
perfection. An intelligent being is ever upon the look out
for opportunities to elevate himself, to improve himself,
to move forward, progress and to work inwardly for an
unfoldment that will enable him to put forth the maximum
abilities, faculties and talents that he knows are within
him. <br>
<br>
Look out for opportunities. Make use of every opportunity.
Create opportunities for self-improvement, to progress, to
become a better “you,” and thus make the world happy that
you are in it. This is the key to move towards perfection,
slowly and steadily, day by day. -Swami Chidananda <a

anemia? How Yoga treatment helps Anemia ? <br>
Anemia is a condition that develops when your blood lacks
enough healthy red blood cells. These cells are the main
transporters of oxygen to organs. If red blood cells are
also deficient in hemoglobin, then your body isn't getting
enough iron. Symptoms of anemia -- like fatigue -- occur
because organs aren't getting enough oxygen.<br>
There are many types of anemia, which are divided into 3
broad groupings: Anemia caused by blood loss, Anemia
caused by decreased or faulty red blood cell production
and Anemia caused by destruction of red blood cells.<br>
Treatment : Proper Nurtition, Treatment directed to cause
and the practice of Pranayama, Manily Sitali &
Sidhkari — these three have proved very valuable for the
production of hemoglobin and necessary elements in the
blood in the pure form. Sitali & Shidhakari Pranayams
performed in the early morning before sunrise give good
digestive power, hunger increases and blood gets purified.

He who performs actions, offering them to Brahman and
abandoning attachment, is not tainted by sin as a lotus
leaf by water. (5:10)<br>
<img alt=""

moz-do-not-send="true" height="97" width="613"><br>
Having abandoned attachment to the fruit of the action,
ever content, depending on nothing, he does not do
anything though engaged in activity.(4:20)<br>

For, verily the true nature of action (enjoined by the
scriptures) should be known, also (that) of forbidden (or
unlawful) action, and of inaction; hard to understand is
the nature (path) of action. (4:17)<br>
<img alt=""

moz-do-not-send="true" height="98" width="611"><br>
Verily, it is not possible for an embodied being to
abandon actions entirely; but he who relinquishes the
rewards of actions is verily called a man of renunciation.

Therefore, let the scripture be the authority in
determining what ought to be done and what ought not to be
done. Having known what is said in the ordinance of the
scriptures, thou shouldst act here in this world. (16:24)<br>
