*Deepavali - A festival of  Light , Joy & Illumination  (Nov 13, 2012 ) *
   "The sun does not shine there, nor do the moon and the stars, nor do 
lightnings shine and much less fire. All the lights of the world cannot 
be compared even to a ray of the inner light of the Self. Merge yourself 
in this light of lights and enjoy the supreme Deepavali.

  He who Himself sees all but whom no one beholds, who illumines the 
intellect, the sun, the moon and the stars and the whole universe but 
whom they cannot illumine, He indeed is Brahman, He is the inner Self. 
Celebrate the real Deepavali by living in Brahman, and enjoy the eternal 
bliss of the soul." - Swami Sivananda<< More> >

*Early Morning Meditation talk from "Ponder These Truths " by Swami 
Chidananda*
"Surrender"
   " It is our ego-sense that we surrender, the idea "I am doing." We 
surrender our self-will and put ourselves into His hands, so that we act 
as He dictates, we act as He teaches. So action is there, but no more 
self-will, no more action prompted by the mind, but action according to 
the will of God, according to the wisdom teachings of God and His saints."

   When you put yourself under the will of God and His wisdom teachings, 
then you are a self-controlled person. You will not allow the senses to 
do whatever they wish or the mind to do whatever it wishes - Swami 
Chidananda<<More>> <http://divyajivan.org/ponder_these_truths/index.htm>

*Deepavali Wishes from **Swami Adhyatmananda *

Prayers and best wishes for Diwali and Happy New Year. May the lights of 
little lamps of Diwali bring inner light of knowledge to realize the 
absolute in this very birth.

Congratulations to America, May God bless America. Because it has proved 
that we stand for the truth, royalty, purity and character. We are 
united not only as nation but our unity is of the soul. May this 
glorious victory of America inspire many more nations to unite, stand 
and struggle for the perfection, eternity and higher values of the life.

Diwali comes and goes, year ends and begins, to analyze our own self and 
dive deep in recess of our hearts to find the pearls of everlasting 
peace. Our prayers to almighty Lord, Bhagawan Sri Vishwanath Mahadev, 
Goddess Sri Sri Sri Ashtalakshmiji and our most beloved Gurudev H .H. 
Sri Swami Sivanandaji Maharaj to bestow and shower their choicest 
blessings upon all of us to live and lead the life Divine with excellent 
health, long life, eternity, mutual love, affection and reverence. <<

He who does all actions for Me, who looks upon Me as the Supreme, who is 
devoted to Me, who is free from attachment, who bears enmity towards no 
creature, he comes to Me, O Arjuna! (11:55)

To those men who worship Me alone, thinking of no other, of those ever 
united, I secure what is not already possessed and preserve what they 
already possess.(9:22)

Fix thy mind on Me; be devoted to Me; sacrifice unto Me; bow down to Me; 
having thus united thy whole self with Me, taking Me as the Supreme 
Goal, thou shalt verily come unto Me.( 9:34)

Fix thy mind on Me, be devoted to Me, sacrifice to Me, bow down to Me. 
Thou shalt come even to Me; truly do I promise unto thee, (for) thou art 
dear to Me.(18:65)

Abandoning all duties, take refuge in Me alone; I will liberate thee 
from all sins; grieve not. (18:66
