***The Worship of  the Divine Mother - Swami Sivananda
on the occasion of  Adi Shaktipith, **Sri Asthalaxmi   Brahmotsav ( 
April 29, 2012 )
*

**

" Devi is synonymous with Sakti or the Divine Power that manifests, 
sustains and transforms the universe as the one unifying force of 
Existence. In fact, worship of Devi is not sectarian; it does not belong 
to any cult. By Devi or Sakti we mean the presupposition of all forms of 
existential power, the power of knowledge, of omniscience. These powers 
are the glorious attributes of God—you may call Him Vishnu or Siva or as 
you like. In other words, Sakti is the very possibility of the 
Absolute’s appearing as many, of God’s causing this universe. Sakti and 
Sakta are one; the Power and the one who possesses the Power cannot be 
separated; God and Sakti are like fire and heat of fire."

"Devi-worship or Sakti-worship is therefore worship of God’s glory, of 
God’s greatness and supremacy. It is adoration of the Almighty"  - Swami 
Sivananda<< More>>

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

**

*The immanence of God*
  " It is that immanence is key to divinity. Awareness of God’s presence 
within and without, in all beings, in all creatures, in all nature 
becomes the key, the secret of living in the awareness of the Yoga of 
the eleventh chapter of the Bhagavad Gita, the Yoga of the first verse 
of the Isopanishad."

"What more can I say? Be aware, be aware of God, aware of your 
relationship to Him, and make your life sublime and divine and attain 
the supreme, grand goal of all spiritual aspiration, of all spiritual 
life, of all spiritual /sadhana/,//of all spiritual living, the grand 
goal of God-consciousness and divine perfection and liberation."- Swami 
Chidananda << More>>

*Pearle's  of Wisdom *

"A good word for a bad one is worth much but costs little. Kindness does 
not consist in gifts, but in gentleness and generosity."

"Bear no envy. Commit no slander. Speak no falsehood. Practice no 
deceit. Harbor no malice.You will be ever joyful, happy and peaceful."

"Sacrifice and service are your two hands. Freedom and peace are your 
two legs. Love and bliss are your two eyes. Truth and devotion are your 
two ears. Self- knowledge is your mouth. Perfection is, indeed, heart 
and soul."

"The Sweetness of life is devotion. The fragrance of life is generosity. 
The pivot of life is meditation . The goal of life is Self- Realization."

-Swami Sivananda
