<div align="left"> "The Transcendental Divinity,
That Is Lord Rama" by Sri Swami Sivananda <br>
On Sacred Sri Ramnavmi (April 21, 2021)<i><b> </b>

<div align="left">"The Name of Lord Rama is the
greatest purifier of the heart. It wipes away all
one's sins. Not only this, but it wipes away the
sinful tendencies as well. The Name is sweeter than
the sweetest of objects. It is the haven of peace.
It is the very life of pure souls. It is the
purifier of all purifying agencies. It quenches the
consuming fire of worldly desires. It awakens the
knowledge of God. It bathes the aspirant in the,
ocean of divine bliss. Glory to Sri Rama and His
Name!</div>
<br>
<div align="left">The noblest lesson embodied in the
Ramayana is the supreme importance of righteousness
in the life of every human being. Righteousness is
the spiritual spark of life. Cultivation of
righteousness is the process of unfoldment of the
latent divinity in man. The glorious incarnation of
the Supreme Being in the form of Lord Rama has
exemplified the path of righteousness. Let mankind
follow His footsteps and practise the ideals
cherished by Him, for it is only thus that there can
be everlasting peace, prosperity and welfare in this
world.<br>
</div>
<div align="left"><br>
</div>
<div align="left">
<div align="left">None but the righteous can be
truly happy. None but he who has the correct sense
of duty and the will for its implementation can be
said to live worthily. One must be imbued with a
definite conviction about the supremacy of moral
principles, ethical values and spiritual ideals.
These ought to guide one's day-to-day actions and
serve as powerful means for the culture of the
human personality. That is the purpose of life.
That is the way to Self-realisation. That is the
message and the mission of Lord Rama's Life on
earth - Swami Sivananda <a

"The Divine Name"</div>
"God is intangible: avyakta, adrishta, agochara
(unmanifest, unseen, imperceptible). All this is
made very clear in the Vishnu-sahasranama. He is
gudhah (hidden): eko devah sarvabhuteshu gudhah (The
one Lord is hidden in all beings). He is sukshmati
sukshma (subtler than the subtlest),
avangmano-gochara (not known by the senses or the
mind), yato vacho nivartante aprapya manasa saha
(whence all speech, along with the mind, turn back
not reaching It). He is beyond thought, beyond
speech. What then is the way to approach God?<br>
<div align="left"> <br>
"What is it that can link us with that which is
beyond thought, speech and mind, beyond the grasp
of the intellect? The path of the Divine Name in
this Kali Yuga is the supreme, the least
complicated, the most efficacious, unfailing,
simple and powerful path."</div>
<div align="left"> <br>
</div>
<div align="left">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. 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.” Abheda, abhedata of nama and
nami (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 Chidananda <a

<div align="left">OMKAR - "Omkar Sadhana is the
Prana of Spiritual Sadhana. Omkar is the best
Pranayam." <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

was the living embodiment of the power of
Ram-Nam. He was an ideal selfless worker, a true
Karma Yogi who worked desirelessly. He was a
great devotee and an exceptional Brahmachari or
celibate. He served Sri Rama with pure love and
devotion, without expecting any fruit in return.
He lived only to serve Sri Rama. He was humble,
brave and wise. He possessed all the divine
virtues. He did what others could not
do—crossing the ocean simply by uttering
Ram-Nam, burning the demon-king's city of Lanka,
and bringing the sanjeevini herb to restore the
life of Lakshmana. He brought Sri Rama and
Lakshmana from the nether world after killing
Ahiravana. <br>

Rama and Sri Sita and wherever Sri Rama and Sri
Sita are praised and their deeds recited, there
Hanuman is.<br>

Glory to Hanuman, the blessed devotee of Lord
Rama. Glory, glory to Sri Anjaneya, the mighty
hero, undaunted warrior and learned
Brahmacharin, the like of whom the world has not
yet seen and will not see in time to come. <br>
