HTML clipboard "Bhagavan Sri Krishna is the immortal manifestation of 
God in all His splendor, that man was ever given the fortune to behold. 
Man! Blessed thou art, that hast visualized with thy fleshly eyes the 
mighty Dignity of the Supreme Sovereign of the Universe! Thou art 
purified; thy birthright is to realize Him; thy fortune is a part of His 
Greatness! Sri Krishna may be called the "Collective Man", who 
represented all beings hungering and thirsting to gain the Highest 
Freedom and who voiced forth their deepest aspirations in the loudest 
possible tone. He came to release man from the thraldom of vice and 
correct his vision so that he could walk along the ever-illumined path 
to perfection. Sri Krishna is the articulation of the pure longings that 
are buried in the hearts of people.

  Sri Krishna is not merely a historical man who came and went, like 
others, but the Eternal Purusha who dwells even now and shall live in 
the everlasting future, in the core of all manifestation. It is the 
Symbol of the Absolute descended into relativity that we call Krishna, 
the ever-beloved protector of all that breathe and air."- Swami 
Sivananda << More>> <http://www.divyajivan.org/Janmasthami/index.htm>

*Temptation: *“/Kamah krodhascha lobhascha dehe tisthanti taskarah 
jnanaratnapaharaya tasmat jagrata jagrata/—Lust anger and greed, they 
are dacoits to rob and plunder the pearl of wisdom, not coming from 
outside to assail or invade you, but residing within your own body. 
Therefore, be awake, be awake,” says Sankaracharya in Vairagya Dindima."
"We invite temptations; we go into that area where we are tempted. We 
cultivate the company of such persons who are our temptation, who are 
our downfall, who are the ones through whom these lower propensities 
assail us, by whom they are stimulated and made manifest".......

"Turn to God for help and you will receive it without fail, unfailingly. 
Turn to Him every day in meditation—meditation with faith, meditation 
with love, meditation with humility. And be on guard against these inner 
enemies to which you are host, inner enemies dwelling within your self, 
meaning you no good. This is the mystery of God and His creation, the 
great maya which is duratyaya (difficult to cross). Be on guard, never 
lay down arms, never give way. Always know that one day you have to 
overcome and you will overcome".- Swami  Chidananda <<

HTML clipboard HTML clipboard */Prana/ - *"The true meaning of /Prana/ 
is not only breath. The /Prana /is energy. It is universal power, 
brightness, light and intelligence. All these cosmic energies are named 
as /Prana./"/Yatkinchit Jagat Sarvam Drishyate Shruyatepiva/..This 
/Prana/ is filled in all that we see and hear, the inside and outside of 
all things, all movement etc. in this world.

The Prana is the source of all capabilities and the power in the 
universe. /Prana/ is the only power behind the normal functioning of the 
system of respiration (inhalation and exhalation), blood circulation, 
digestion, excretion of urine and stool, system producing semen, 
structure of our bones and also the nervous system.The working abilities 
of sensory organs and motor organs improve as each cell  gets extra 
nutrition. The secret of beauty of skin, shining of the face, brightness 
of the eyes, intelligence power and development of mental power is the 
result of the practice of Pranayama. The practice of Pranayama means 
oneness with cosmic energy. Pranayama Sadhana opens the doors of subtle 
life from the gross life "-  Swami Adhyatmananda. <<More>>

*Divya Tour 2012  of  Sri Swami Adhyatmananda *


"It was very hectic four day program at Chicago. Pujya Swamiji's day 
began at 4.00/4.30am(wake up call for host and Swamiji) starting from 
homeafter prayer & meditationfor morning yoga class at 5.45am until 
10.30pm touching down at home, traveling from one place to the next, 
attending devotees' request for Bhiksha, home visit, evening temple 
satsang etc but, when it is satsang time and Swamiji starts speaking, HE 
was found ever fresh and in a different realm. Every word and every 
sentence HE speaks enters right into the heart of listeners and has a 
message so inspiring and energizing" -sevak

For Individual host it is a few days of hectic schedule but For Swamiji 
it is everyday the same hectic schedule. He is fountain of energy. What 
is the secret ?  HE has dedicated His life and each breath of His to the 
service of Humanity and to fulfill the Mission of Holy Master Sri Swami 
Sivanandaji Maharaj. HE inspires others to join in and stay in to be a

***Lord Krisha's Utterance , "Geetamrutam " *



Perform action, O Arjuna, being steadfast in Yoga, abandoning attachment 
and balanced in success and failure! Evenness of mind is called Yoga. (2:48)


Acts of sacrifice, gift and austerity should not be abandoned, but 
should be performed; sacrifice, gift and also austerity are the 
purifiers of the wise.(18:5)


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)


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)

The world is bound by actions other than those performed for the sake of 
sacrifice; do thou, therefore, O son of Kunti, perform action for that 
sake (for sacrifice) alone, free from attachment! (3:9)
