width="150">"The Gita is the cream of the Vedas. It is the
essence of the soul-elevating Upanishads. It is a universal
scripture applicable to people of all temperaments and for
all times. It is a wonderful book with sublime thoughts and
practical instructions on Yoga, devotion, Vedanta and
action. It is a marvelous book, profound in thought and
sublime in heights of vision. It brings peace and solace to
souls that are afflicted by the three fires of mortal
existence, namely, afflictions caused by one’s own body,
those caused by beings around one, and those caused by the
gods."<br>
<br>
"The Gita is not merely a book or just a scripture. It is a
living voice carrying an eternally indispensable and vital
message to mankind. Its verses embody words of wisdom coming
from the infinite ocean of knowledge, the Absolute Itself."<br>
<br>
"The Gita is a source of power and wisdom. It strengthens
you when you are weak, and inspires you when you feel
dejected and feeble. It teaches you to embrace righteousness
and to resist unrighteousness." - Swami Sivananda <a

Swami Chidanandji was addressing a public meeting at Town
Hall, Ahmedabad in 1986 in regard to the Centenary
Celebrations of Gurudev Swami Sivanandaji Maharaj. He
explored the real significance behind the centenary
celebration in subtler terms. Swamiji emphasized that
centenary celebration of revered Gurudev is not simply meant
to be an occasion for paying tributes to Gurudev Sivananda,
a doctor of body, mind & soul but in a broader and
philosophical terms, it is tantamount to paying our
gratitude and respects to the entire Guru Parampara, our
spiritual heritage and lineage of which he was a shining
representative.<br>
<br>
Sadasiva Samarambham Sankaracharya Madhyaman,<br>
Asmad Acharya Paryantam Vande Guru-Paramparam.<br>
<br>
I bow and pay homage to this long line of succession of
Gurus that originated from Sankar Bhagvan Himself and that
had in its middle Sankara Acharya, and to this day I pay
homage to my own Guru, who is to me the present
representative of this spiritual lineage.<br>

Yoga Learning from Swami Adhyatmananda<br>
<br>
OMKAR - "Omkar Sadhana is the Prana of Spiritual Sadhana.
Omkar is the best Pranayam."<br>
<br>
"The practice of Omkar destroys Tamasik thoughts and
converts the Rajasik thoughts into Sattvik thoughts. In long
term if the people living in all four directions on the
earth start practising Omkar regularly, the mental conflicts
can be eliminated. Selfishness will retire. Benevolence
will be originated. The whole world can become a family. The
contradiction will decrease and smooth conversation will be
possible. The wind of pure selfless life will flow. Omkar is
the highway of world peace and welfare. Let us practice
Omkar and make our life successful".......- Swami
Adhyatmananda <a
