***Remembering **124th Birth Anniversary of Holy Master Sri Swami 
Sivanandaji Maharaj
**( September 8,  2011) *

Our Adoration and Prostration to the Lotus Feet of  Most Worshipful and 
Revered Gurudev Sri Swami Sivnandaji Maharaj.

  "Gurudev Sri Swami Sivanandaji Maharaj was the Man for the Mankind. 
Each breath of his life he breathed to serve, love and give the best 
what he could give or the best he could do for the mankind. He was a 
Godman, filled with wonderful love in his heart. From head to toe he was 
oozing with divine nectar of love, love and love only. He lived all his 
life for the good of mankind and he became a person beloved by countless 
people all over the world".........<<More>>

* Spiritual Significance of Navaratri ( Sept 28, 2011 -October 6, 2011)
*

"The central purpose of existence is to recognise your eternal identity 
with the supreme Spirit. It is to grow into the image of the Divine. The 
supreme One embodies the highest perfection. It is spotless purity. To 
recognise your identity with That, to attain union with That, is verily 
to grow into the very likeness of the Divine. The aspirant, therefore, 
as his initial step, has to get rid of all the countless impurities, and 
the demoniacal elements that have come to cling to him in his embodied 
state. Then he has to acquire lofty virtues and auspicious, divine 
qualities. Thus purified, knowledge flashes upon him like the brilliant 
rays of the sun upon the crystal waters of a perfectly calm lake."
  "This process demands a resolute will, determined effort and arduous 
struggle. In other words, strength and infinite power are the prime 
necessity. Thus it is the Divine Mother who has to operate through the 
aspirant. Let us now consider how?" ........Swami Sivananda << More >>

*Early Morning Meditation talks from" Ponder These Truths" by Sri  Swami 
Chidananda* **

Dying to The Little Self : ".......What Guru Maharaj has summed up as, 
“Die to live, lead the divine life.” “When shall I be free? When I shall 
cease to be.” “Then shall I be free, when I shall cease to be.” Then 
shall be the great orb, the great sunrise of God-awareness, 
God-consciousness, the great day of days, of rejoicing, of hallelujah, 
of /vijaya /(victory). And forever this human consciousness is set to 
rest, /atyantika abhava /(total, complete absence) of the false “I”. 
“For it is in dying to the little self that one attains to ever-lasting 
life.” It does not mean some grand or imaginary, fanciful, post-mortem 
stage or other-worldly stage. Everlasting life is here and now, and 
dying to the little self is the process of Yoga.  - Swami Chidananda

Adhyatmananda */

*"Backache"
*Principle causes of Backache, Treatment & Precautions .......
  Bhujangasana, Baddha-Naukasana, Kati -Utthanasana, Ushtrasana, 
Bharmari Pranayama & Shavasana are very helpful.
  Practice of Shalabhasana at the end of Bhujangasana and practice of 
Dhanurasana on completion of Ushtrasana are found very beneficial for 
the backache. Therefore, without any type of hurry, with perfect quiet 
attitude & balance state of mind, practise Asanas, Bhramari as well as 
Omkar Pranayamas. <<More>> <http://www.divyajivan.org/yoga&health/index.htm>
