On the subject of "Sadhana" - Swami Sivananda
"Act now. Live now. Know now. Realize now. Be happy now.
Every death is a reminder. Every bell that rings says, "The end is
near". Every day robs off from you one part of your precious life.
Therefore, you should be very earnest in plunging yourself in constant
Sadhana.
Never fall a victim to fruitless regret. Today is the best day. Today is
the day of your new birth. Start Sadhana now. With folded palms, bid
good-bye to past mistakes and faults. You have learnt your lessons.
March forward now with new hope, determination, and vigilance.
Waver not. Fear not. Doubt not. Do something substantial in the path of
Sadhana instead of wasting your time in idle pursuits and lethargy. You
have infinite strength within you. There is a vast reservoir of power
within you. Therefore, do not lose heart. Obstacles are stepping stones
to success. They will develop your will. Do not allow yourself to be
crushed by them. Defects remind you of perfection. Sin reminds you of
virtue. Chose the positive path." - Swami Sivananda << More>>

Chidananda Darshan - through Life incidence of Guru Maharaj
Birth Centenary Celebration of Guru Bhagawan Sri Swami Chidanandaji
Maharaj at Sivananda Ashram, Ahmedabad.
"Be a part of celebrations and Be benefited "
/"Sthita Prajna"/
Swami Chinmayananda, the illustrious saint-scholar, was giving a series
of discourses on Gita during his Gita Jnana Yajna at Lucknow in 1977. In
course of his talk he dealt with the characteristics of a Sthita Prajna,
the ideal Godman of the holy scripture. At the end of the talk Prof.
Varma who was, indeed, very much impressed, sought an interview with
Chinmayanandaji and put the straight question - Is the ideal Godman of
Gita a mere scriptural representation or a living reality? Is there
anybody in India today who may fittingly be called a Sthita Prajna?
The erudite monk who is not given to easy praise paused for a moment and
then replied with all seriousness and solemnity - Yes. There are such
great ones. One is Mother Anandamayi and the other is Swami Chidananda.
One should behold them and get sanctified.

Yoga Learning from a book "Yoga, A way of life" by Sri Swami Adhyatmananda
Divya Jivan Newsletter, August 2015 Yoganidra is a prolonged Shavasan
that leads to relaxation and finally establishes in meditation. It is
the art of conscious relaxation. It is a technique which will allow you
to reach new sates of conscious awareness with acute perception of both
your physical and subtle body. As you practice these techniques you will
feel the flow of Prana move through physical, emotional and energetic
blockages. The end result is the healing of the body and mind and the
expansion of consciousness.

"Swamiji radiates peace, he radiates love, he radiates the inner beauty
that comes from someone who is happy inside and what he shows to you is
what he feels. So it’s one of those rare individuals that you come
across that immediately attracts you, not because of showmanship, not
because of all honors that he have, deservingly received. None of that.
Simply you sitting before Swamiji, normal conversation, nothing serious,
but very profound at the same time, that’s what strikes me to think
about Swamiji" – Dr. Ravi Sharma
"Swamiji's inspiration for healthy and positive thinking will leave long
lasting effects in people's mind, In His words," Think positive, Be
Bold, Fear Not, Abide in Truth, Stand by Truth and rest will follow
naturally. Pray fervently and ceaselessly. Remember God and Gurudev. Do
your daily Spiritual Sadhana. Abide in the Supreme" – Ravi Ponanagi , PR

Gitamrutam
He who is ever happy within, who rejoices within, who is illumined
within, such a Yogi attains absolute freedom or Moksha, himself becoming
Brahman.(5:24)
The sages obtain absolute freedom or Moksha—they whose sins have been
destroyed, whose dualities (perception of dualities or experience of the
pairs of opposites) are torn asunder, who are self-controlled, and
intent on the welfare of all beings. (5:25)
Those who strive for liberation from old age and death, taking refuge in
Me, realise in full that Brahman, the whole knowledge of the Self and
all action.(7:29)
Gurudevarpanmastu!
