Deepavali - A Festival of Joy, Light & Illumination (November 9, 2015 - 
November 12, 2015)

"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

Chidananda Darshan - through Life incidence of Guru Maharaj
Birth Centenary Celebration of Guru Bhagawan Sri Swami Chidanandaji 
Maharaj at Sivananda Ashram, Ahmedabad. 
<http://divyajivan.org/Chidananda%20Centenary%20celebration/index.htm>

 From the Diary of Revered Sri Ganesan ji Maharaj (80 years) of Sri 
Ramana Ashram, Thiruvannamalai - It is His recent email communication 
with Sri N.S Rao Ji  (90 years - Brother in law of Gurumaharaj Sri Swami 
Chadanandaji)

"Parama Pujya Sant Chidanandaji Maharaj is held in my HEART, with very 
great Love, deep Devotion and surrendered Dedication, ever since I have 
had the golden opportunity of receiving him and serving him at our 
Ashram in 1967. He presided over the "Kumbhabhishekam" ceremonies of the 
Sacred Samadhi Temple of BELOVED BHAGAVAN.  On that sacred night of the 
unique religious function, within the enclosures of the newly 
constructed Samadhi Shrine of Sri Bhagavan (apart from the priests) we 
two were the only persons permitted to sit and observe the first puja to 
the Shrine (the whole morning was filled with other religious 
activities), which ritualistically was called " Maha Puja", which I was 
told as the most important event of that day ! It was truly a very 
thrilling spiritual experience, too !

After the elaborate puja was over, Swamiji leaned towards me and asked : 
"Ganesanji ! Will you do me a special favour ?"  "Order me, Swamiji !"  
"Will you please get for me from the puja--completed Samadhi Shrine of 
Sri Bhagavan, a few flowers?" With joy I requested the priests to do so 
!  Swamiji blessed me and said : "These few flowers are so sacred for 
me, I will keep them with me, with the highest devotion! "

A few years [ 3-4 ] later when I happened to visit Shivanandashram at 
Rishikesh, I had again the great good fortune of meeting with Swamiji.  
He clapped his hands and his assistant came.  He said in Hindi 
something. That young apprentice Swami brought a small silver casket and 
handed it over to Swamiji.  With immeasurable joy, filled with devotion, 
Swamiji opened it and showed me. Within it I saw a few dried flowers !  
"Wherever I go --  I travel all over the world -- this casket is my 
constant companion protecting me, guiding me and making me rejoice with 
spiritual fervour ! "

My dear brother NS RAOji, can there be a better spiritual demonstration 
-- almost clinical in nature and content -- than this "incident" to 
prove a Saint's devotion to another SAINT !"

Yoga Learning from a book " Yoga a way of Life" by Swami Adhyatmananda

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.

Gitamrutam

He who knows Me as unborn and beginningless, as the great Lord of the 
worlds, he, among mortals, is undeluded; he is liberated from all 
sins.(10:3)

He who in truth knows these manifold manifestations of My Being and 
(this) Yoga-power of Mine, becomes established in the unshakeable Yoga; 
there is no doubt about it.(10:7)

I am the source of all; from Me everything evolves; understanding thus, 
the wise, endowed with meditation, worship Me.(10:8)

With their minds and lives entirely absorbed in Me, enlightening each 
other and always speaking of Me, they are satisfied and delighted.(10:9)

To them who are ever steadfast, worshipping Me with love, I give the 
Yoga of discrimination by which they come to Me.( 10:10)

Out of mere compassion for them, I, dwelling within their Self, destroy 
the darkness born of ignorance by the luminous lamp of knowledge. (10:11)

Gurudevarpanmastu!
