What Gurudev is for US! - by Swami Chidananda <br>

width="150">"At this moment, in the calm hours of this
silent morning, in the spiritual presence of our beloved
and worshipful Holy Master Guru Bhagavan Swami
Sivanandaji, we offer adorations and homage to Your
Feet. From the bottom of our hearts, human hearts, we
pray that this separation, this alienation, this
wandering away from Thee, may end. May this
forgetfulness, this slumber of non-awareness of our own
svarupa, our eternal relationship with You, which is the
root cause of all pain, suffering, sorrow, misery,
delusion and infatuation, come to an end by Thy grace."
.....<br>
<br>
"Worshipful spiritual presence, Gurudev, thou who art
our light and guide in life, keep sounding that call
again and again in our hearts. This is the supplication
at thy feet of all the seeking souls who are gathered in
your presence, drawn by your guru kripa, grace, morning
after morning to this sacred Samadhi Hall of your
Ashram."...<br>
<br>
"Gurudev’s life after Self-realisation, after becoming
an enlightened sage and shining as a great light of the
Himalayas, was a saga of selfless service—service of the
poor, service of the suffering, service of the sick,
service of the distressed, service of spiritual
aspirants and seekers, service of all humanity, service
of the whole world. In diverse, numerous ways, his
entire life was one great, continuous stream of selfless
service. He had even forgotten how to think of himself;
he could only think of others. He lived thinking of
others: "In what way can I be of benefit, in what way
can I serve?" That was Gurudev Swami Sivanandaji Maharaj
till the very last days." <br>
<br>
"Gurudev declared in one of his eighteen handwritten
autobiographical epistles: "I live to serve, to feed the
hungry, to clothe the naked, to raise the fallen, to
console the distressed. This is my mission in life." And
anyone who has known him, anyone who has lived with him,
anyone who has seen him instantly recognised: "Here is a
totally selfless, dedicated human being." He fulfilled
to the very letter the scriptural description of this
type of realised soul, who having attained illumination,
having done everything that has to be done, having no
desires because all their desires have been fulfilled
through God-realisation, are seen to be, in the words of
the Gita, "intent on the welfare of all creatures." <a

width="150"> ".........On this occasion, as I felt
with my hand on the top of the chest of drawers, my hand
fell upon Papa Ramdas' In Quest of God and I took it
with me. Somehow, the photograph of Papa Ramdas taken in
front of the Kadri caves (appearing as frontispiece in
In Quest of God) fascinated me and drew my gaze like a
magnet. The more I looked at it, the more I wanted to go
on looking at it. I did not want to put the book down.
Afternoon after afternoon, lying down on a sofa in the
upstairs hall, within a week, I finished reading the
book cover to cover.............."<br>
<br>
"At that time I was a youngster of nine years of age. I
had just lost my mother and was studying in the 4th
class in the primary school. Reading the book In Quest
of God opened up before me a<br>
whole new vista of what India was as I had never before
known or imagined. For the first time, I came to know of
the various religious places Papa had visited in his
wanderings. I heard the<br>
name 'Himalayas' and the sacred river 'Bhagirathi
Ganga'. I came to know the name of Sri Ramakrishna
Paramahamsa and also the Kali Temple of Bhavatarini at
Dakshineshwar near<br>
Calcutta. The names 'Kedarnath' and 'Badrinath' became
part of the thought forms of my mind where they had not
existed before. The words 'Annakshetra', 'Bhiksha', 'Ram
Bhajan' etc<br>
became part of my vocabulary. The terms 'samadhi' and
'ecstasy' were first encountered in my
life."............<br>
<br>
"It was early March 1942. During the past ten years,
from 1932 to 1942, since I left Mangalore and arrived in
Madras, an inward transformation was slowly taking place
within me, a veritable holy Sangam of three spiritual
streams was created within my life. At Madras, I came
into possession of the Gospel of Sri Ramakrishna some
time in 1933 and the Life of Sri Ramakrishna in 1936,
his birth centenary year. Secondly, I read about Sri
Ramana Maharshi in M S Kamath's Sunday Times in a
special issue with the narration of the young Ramana's
renunciation at the age of 17 when he was a schoolboy.
The article carried Sri Ramana Maharshi's picture also.
This article evoked within me a state of renunciation
and an idea of seeking Self-realization. Thirdly, I
began to read Swami Sivananda's spiritual literature
from Sri P K Vinayarangam's My Magazine of India and a
book of Gurudev's quotations published by him. All these
three saints hammered one single central line again and
again into my mind viz: "Life is meant for
God-realization. Goal of life is God-realization. If you
die without attaining Godrealization, your life is in
vain. You have wasted away this precious gift of human
birth given to you by God " ........... <br>
<br>
"Some time after sunset, in the twilight, Gurudev Sri
Swami Sivananda followed by a Brahmachari carrying a
hurricane lantern, came down from the upper part of the
Ashram with a big long staff in his hand. As he came
near, I fell flat upon the ground in dandawat namaskar.
He enquired from someone nearby 'Who is this person?'
They told him I was Sridhar Rao of Madras who had been
corresponding with Gurudev. He kindly asked me to get
up. I did so and felt that I had reached my destination.
I felt blessed by God. This is how my entire life was
offered at the feet of Gurudev Sri Swami Sivananda
Maharaj. It was the culmination of my physical journey
upon the outer plane of this world. My spiritual journey
now commenced....................." <a

<p align="left"> "God is an unknown entity. God is an
unseen entity. We have not seen god. We’ve only heard
about Him. We can only imagine Him. But, if we are
able to see in a human individual, manifestations of
holiness, of sanctity, something extraordinary,
something special, we begin to realize: “Yes, God I
have not seen, but godliness I have seen”. Such a
being becomes for us visible God. God reveals Himself
through the Guru."</p>
<p align="left">"When you wake up in the morning, you
wake up into something very special. This emergence
should constitute for you a rebirth into sadhana. In
this new birth there should be no more slackness, no
more pretence, and no more half-heartedness.
Therefore, may we be reborn not once, not twice, but
again and again until there is no longer any necessity
or need for any such rebirth or re-emergence." </p>
"But for awareness, nothing can be cognised. But for
awareness, no knowledge is possible. Knowledge itself
has as its basis the knower. The knower can be the
knower only if It is a centre of luminous awareness,
knowing all things."

the situations in which the Lord places you. You are
where you are, and what you are, due to the Will of
the Lord." </p>

as a result of effort; effort put forth in the firm
conviction that sincere and earnest human endeavor
never goes unfulfilled. Success is not achieved by
never encountering failure. Failure is often a part of
success." </p>

attention to something in you, rather than being
offended. Actually that person is doing you a great
favor and service by giving you some knowledge about
yourself which you by yourself have been unable to
obtain."</p>
<p align="left">"Love more than you desire to be loved.
Serve more than you desire to be served. Give of
yourself more than you demand of others." </p>
<p align="left">"Human birth, higher aspirations and the
inspiration to contact great ones and to imbibe their
stirring spiritual messages all these constitute your

these constitute your special unique blessings when

In the words of Holy Master Sri Swami Sivanandaji
Maharaj .............. "Celebration of Swami
Chidanandaji's Birthday is really worship of God."<br>
<br>
"During the celebrations of the Birthdays of great men
you hear of their actions, their thoughts and their
instructions, and the way in which they led their life.
You imbibe several good qualities from their glorious
example. You try to emulate them. You put those
qualities into practice in your daily life. Frequent
Birthday celebrations are necessary.".....<br>
<br>
"Practise compassion, service, humility and other
virtues. Then shine like our Chidanandaji. This is my
fervent prayer ! Chidananda is a Jeevanmukta, a great
saint, an ideal Yogi, a Para Bhakta and a great sage.
Swami Chidananda is all this and much more".<br>
