Glories og Srimad Bhagawad Gita on auspicious Gita Jayanti (Dec 21, 
2015) -  Sri Swami Sivananda
HTML clipboard
"The Gita is the cream of the Vedas. It is the essence of the 
soul-elevating Upanishads. It is a universal scripture applicable to 
people of all temperaments and for all times. It is a wonderful book 
with sublime thoughts and practical instructions on Yoga, devotion, 
Vedanta and action. It is a marvelous book, profound in thought and 
sublime in heights of vision. It brings peace and solace to souls that 
are afflicted by the three fires of mortal existence, namely, 
afflictions caused by one’s own body, those caused by beings around one, 
and those caused by the gods."

  "The Gita is not merely a book or just a scripture. It is a living 
voice carrying an eternally indispensable and vital message to mankind. 
Its verses embody words of wisdom coming from the infinite ocean of 
knowledge, the Absolute Itself."

  "The Gita is a source of power and wisdom. It strengthens you when you 
are weak, and inspires you when you feel dejected and feeble. It teaches 
you to embrace righteousness and to resist unrighteousness." - Swami 
Sivananda << More>> <http://divyajivan.org/bhagawad_gita/index.htm>

Chidananda Darshan - through Life incidence of Guru Maharaj
Birth Centenary Celebration of Guru Bhagawan Sri Swami Chidanandaji 
Maharaj (Sept 24, 2015 -Sept 24, 2016) 
<http://divyajivan.org/Chidananda%20Centenary%20celebration/index.htm>

Vande Guru Paramparam
Swami Chidanandji was addressing a public meeting at Town Hall, 
Ahmedabad in 1986 in regard to the Centenary Celebrations of Gurudev 
Swami Sivanandaji Maharaj. He explored the real significance behind the 
centenary celebration in subtler terms. Swamiji emphasized that 
centenary celebration of revered Gurudev is not simply meant to be an 
occasion for paying tributes to Gurudev Sivananda, a doctor of body, 
mind & soul but in a broader and philosophical terms, it is tantamount 
to paying our gratitude and respects to the entire Guru Parampara, our 
spiritual heritage and lineage of which he was a shining representative.

/Sadasiva Samarambham Sankaracharya Madhyaman,//
//Asmad Acharya Paryantam Vande Guru-Paramparam./

I bow and pay homage to this long line of succession of Gurus that 
originated from Sankar Bhagvan Himself and that had in its middle 
Sankara Acharya, and to this day I pay homage to my own Guru, who is to 
me the present representative of this spiritual lineage.

Yoga Learning from Swami Adhyatmananda

OMKAR - "Omkar Sadhana is the Prana of Spiritual Sadhana.Omkar is the 
best Pranayam."

"The practice of Omkar destroys Tamasik thoughts and converts the 
Rajasik thoughts into Sattvik thoughts. In long term if the people 
living in all four directions on the earth start practising Omkar 
regularly, the mental conflicts can be eliminated. Selfishness will 
retire. Benevo­lence will be originated. The whole world can become a 
family. The contradiction will decrease and smooth conversation will be 
possible. The wind of pure selfless life will flow. Omkar is the highway 
of world peace and welfare. Let us practice Omkar and make our life 
suc­cessful".......- Swami Adhyatmananda << More>>.
