" Start Sadhana Now" -  Sri 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"............

Sadhana is spiritual movement consciously systematized. Sadhana is the 
purpose for which we have come to this place. Abhyasa and Sadhana are 
synonymous terms. The object of Sadhana is to release life from the 
limitations with which it is bound.
Sadhana is a lifelong process. Every day, every hour, every minute, is 
an onward march. Obstacles are innumerable in this great voyage. But, so 
long as you hold God as thy guide, there is nothing to worry about. You 
are sure to reach the other shore." ........- Swami Sivananda << Read

Remembering " Sannyasa Diksha" day  of Holy Master Sri Swami Sivananda 
(June 1, 2021)

==================================================================
Early Morning Meditation talks from "Ponder These Truths" by Sri Swami 
Chidananda

“Wake up at dawn each day to salute the Universal Being. Bow down in 
adoration unto Him before you start the day. Go through the day 
serenely, full of happiness and contentment. There is nothing to condemn 
in this world. Change your angle of vision. Forego a grudge. Forgive an 
enemy. Stop anxiety and smile gently unto yourself. Feel that the whole 
world is the manifestation of the Lord and you are serving the Lord in 
all these names and forms. Convert life into Yoga. Strive to be a 
Sadachari and paropakari. God walks with the simple, reveals Himself 
through the sufferer, gives understanding to the noble and keeps His 
Grace from the haughty. So renounce ego, cultivate virtues and be free. 
Keep the mind always calm and peaceful. Be the conqueror of your mind, 
the subduer of your desires and a master of your destiny, for you are 
the master.”

"When you wake up in the morning, you wake up into something very 
special. This emergence should constitute for you a rebirth into 
sadhana. In this new birth there should be no more slackness, no more 
pretence, and no more half-heartedness. Therefore, may we be reborn not 
once, not twice, but again and again until there is no longer any 
necessity or need for any such rebirth or re-emergence.”- Swami 
Chidananda ”<< Read More>

*Let us all **Cherish the Legacy & Life -Work of H.H. Swami 
Adhyamanandai Maharaj on HIS Birthday (May 3, 2023) & His MahaSamadhi 
day( Punya Tithi) on May 8, 2023 *

*"A great son (sun) of India Adhyatma-Jyoti Sri Swami Adhyatmananda 
Saraswati an "adarsh" yati & Saint of holy matrubhoomi Bharatvarsha." 
these are the words of HIS Master H. H. Sri Swami ChidanandaJi Maharaj.
*

Revered Swamiji was a living example of the teachings of holy Master 
Swami Sivanandaji Maharaj. He was a Yogi, Vedantin, and Devotee all in 
one. Devotees welcomed Him in the East & the West and all over the Globe 
for his simplicity, sincerity, and love for teaching Yoga way of 
life. Swamiji carried a spark of love, light & joy. He kindled and 
inspired people, whoever came in contact with Him. His Life and each 
breath were dedicated to spreading the ancient wisdom of Yoga and 
Vedanta through simple and practical teachings of Gurudev Sri. Swami 
Sivanandaji Maharaj and Gurumaharaj Sri. Swami Chidanandaji Maharaj. 
Wherever he went, he talked about the simple message of Sri. Swami 
Sivanandaji Maharaj, “Serve, Love, Give, Purify, Meditate & Realize” and 
guidelines of daily Sadhana through Gurudev’s "Twenty Spiritual 
Instructions". Jai Sivananda! Jai Chidananda! Jai Adhyatmananda!
Pujya Sri Swamiji was a world-renowned Yogacharya who conducted over 800 
yoga camps throughout the world and trained tens of thousands of 
students in Yoga, Pranayama, and Meditation. Swamiji designed Yoga 
Teachers' Training Course (YTTC), a comprehensive  twenty days 
residential program  through Sivananda Institute of  Vedanta -Yoga 
Academy (SIVA) for the training of Yoga teachers which is conducted 
twice during the year. Swamiji has conducted more than 45 YTTC which is 
recognized by Gujarat University and he has trained more than 1000 yoga 
teachers. These teachers render both preventive and curative aspects of 
yoga teaching for the well-being of body and mind across humanity around 
the world and are instrumental in spreading ancient Indian Culture and 
rich heritage.  Swamiji’s discourses were wisdom outpourings coming from 
decades of personal experience of leading the spiritual life that has 
changed the life of so many people.  People asked Pujya Swamiji the 
secret of His ever Vibrant, Radiant & Joyful nature? "Abide In The 
SELF", He said………." In all condition I am Bliss, Bliss, Bliss 
Absolute"……Adopt, Adjust & Accommodate" ……And each breath of His, was in 
the remembrance of GOD and in the service to Humanity, service to known 
& unknown.....

It was always a joy for the devotees here in the West to receive Pujya 
Swamiji  Maharaj's  Satsang and blessing and in fact, their love brought 
Sri Swamiji amongst their midst Year after Year for 25 + years in the 
past. We cherish the lovely time we all devotees had in HIS presence . 
The Adhyatma Tours got organized each year as per SIVA's WILL.The 
Organizers Team of Adhyatma Tour worked together in the spirit of Karma 
Yoga and coordinated Sri Swamiji Satsang programs at various centers 
for the benefit of many and the Adhyatma Tour unfolded beautifully each 
year that was the charm of Adhyatma Tours.Ifeel blessed to get the 
opportunity to coordinate Swamiji's Adhyatma Tours to the West all these 
years and be a tiny part (not even) of the whole in Swamiji’s Mission of 
service to Humanity........Being with Him in close proximity during 
coordinating the Adhyatma Tours all these years, you observe how 
immeasurable devotion Pujya Swamiji has for His Gurudev! At every 
moment, whether He is thinking, talking or delivering discourses... you 
observe that Guru Smarana is unbroken. HE is breathing and living for 
Gurudev......Bharat & I feel honored and privileged to create Website 
for Pujya Swamiji and that is a treasure of his work for the last 
twenty-five years and that has been a source for global reach. It is all 
Guru's Grace - sevak

Governor of Gujarat, Om Prakash Kohli has presented HIM the title of 
"Glory of Gujarat" in the month of January 2017 on behalf of the Indian 
Council of Social welfare (ICSW) Gujarat state branch. This award is 
given to HIM for HIS dedication and distinguishes contribution in the 
field of Yoga, Meditation as well as for spreading the Religious, 
Cultural and Spiritual Awareness. Swamiji received the “Gujarat Ratna 
Gaurav Award” in 2019.  Swamiji was a great missionary on the blood 
donation front and affirms his faith in “Donate blood and save a life”. 
Swamiji was instrumental in organizing about 300 blood donation camps 
and he himself donated blood 117 times and was honored by the Governor 
of Gujarat as a centurion blood donor. His love for Tree & Ecology was 
great. Swamiji has planted more than 10 million saplings and plants on

Learning of  "Jeevan Yog" from a Yoga Acharya Sri Swami Adhyatmananda
Through TV episodes of "Jeevan Yoga" Serie 
<http://divyajivan.org/Jeevan%20Yoga/Index.htm>s by Doordarshan Girnar

Doordarshan TV Girnar has done wonderful Seva to Mankind by telecasting 
of " Jeevan Yoga Series" containing 104 episodes by Pujya Sri Swami 
Adhyatmanandaji Maharaj. It is a boon to all more so now, when HE is not 
in the physical Presence. Pujya Swamiji has step by step covered a new 
dimension of Yoga learning, not just the Yoga postures but a key to 
integrate all aspects of life physical, intellectual and spiritual 
through Yogic living to maintain sound body and peaceful mind that 
enables sincere students to go deeper and subtler aspect of their being 
there by live and lead harmonious, purposeful and Divine Life. It is a 
complete guide to Yogic living filled with systemic, scientific and yet 
simple & useful yoga teachings for the beginners as well as for the 
advanced Yoga students. Swamiji has talked about holistic approach to 
deal with most common medical problems, useful Yoga postures pertaining 
to individual diseases, benefits of various kinds of Pranayam, Yoga 
Nidra, Meditation and more....the presentation is in Gujarati but, all 
will gather the essence of the teaching.

Surya Namaskara or Sun Salutation ("salute to the sun"), is a common 
sequence of Hatha Yoga asanas. Its origins lie in a worship of Surya, 
the Hindu Solar deity. This sequence of movements and poses can be 
practised on varying levels of awareness, ranging from that of physical 
exercise in various styles, to a complete sadhana, which incorporates 
asana, pranayama, mantra and chakra meditation.

The physical base of the practice links together twelve asanas in a 
dynamically performed series. These asanas are ordered so that they 
alternately stretch the spine backwards and forwards. When performed in 
the usual way, each asana is moved into with alternate inhalation and 
exhalation (except for the sixth asana where the breath is held in 
external suspension). A full round of Surya namaskara is considered to 
be two sets of the twelve poses with a change in the second set to 
moving the opposite leg first through the series. << Read More>>

radiating divinity and aura and I had surrendered myself to Swamiji 
Maharaj at that very moment.......Finally, I was drawn to him in 2017

/sishya/ (disciple) of Guru Maharaj Sri  Swami Chidananda JI

  “Swamiji, as he is respectfully known, is an ordinary man who has 
mastered extraordinary skills and discipline. He moves around the world 
with the greatest of ease, more like a young butterfly than a 
65-year-old man. He is kind, generous and extremely articulate and has a 
good sense of humor. I spent an hour talking with him and his special 
graces made my day much more worth living. It’s true when they say words 
cannot describe him.” – Celeste Regal, reporter of <<<<Observer

meaning in their work." - Toledo Blade (Newspaper)

"With the Grace of Divine, we got the opportunity to host Pujya Swamiji 
on His first visit to the USA and thereafter for the past twenty-five 
years we are fortunate to receive HIS Satsang and Blessings in

spirituality and enlightenment that lingers on. We feel being bathed in 
love and purity.......We carry sweet memories of countless moments, 
special events, inspiring messages, blessings, and daily communication,

clip on May 3, 2021, expressing HIS love and blessings for us...We share 
with all our two precious memories with Swamiji.....*the Blessed

*Quotes & Essence of Teachings of Teachings of Pujya Swamiji Maharaj*

"We are born, death is inevitable. Journey between birth and death is 
not Life, it is a slow journey towards death. Life we have to find. Life 
lived in the pursuit of SELF realization is the Goal of Life and can be 
achieved by "Jeevan Yoga" or Yoga, a way of LIFE. It brings peace and 
happiness of sound mind in sound body. Yogic living implies 
discriminative living. Yoga is equanimity, equipoise or equilibrium. It 
is skill in the performance of actions. Yoga is disconnection from union 
with pain and freedom from attachment and desires it is turning away of 
the senses from the objective universe and concentrating the mind on the 
SELF". - Swami Adhyatmananda

"WILL Power Wins ALL Powers".  Be cheerful. Be peaceful. Be Blissful. 
Enjoy your present moments and be with your family, eat together, pray 
together. Pray fervently, sincerely, and wholeheartedly. Prayer elevates 
the mind. It fills the mind with purity. Have perfect faith in the 
Lord's name. His name is your sole support and refuge. Call HIM by any 
name Ishwar, Allah, Jehovah, Ahura Mazda, Zande vats, Waheguru, Jesus, 
Moses, Buddha, Rama, Krishna, Durga, Kali, Ganesh, or Shirdi Saibaba or 
any other. In case you are initiated into Guru Mantra, do Japa of Guru 
Mantra with faith and sincerity."

“Each activity of Yogi should bring him near to the eternal unfailing 
beauty of the Soul. This is a real sense and high value of Yoga. Yoga is 
like a vast sky which can envelop everyone, those who want peace & harmony”.

"Yoga is eternal life in the soul or spirit. It transforms a man into 
divinity. It brings a message of hope to the forlorn, joy to the 
depressed, strength to the weak, and knowledge to the ignorant. Yoga way 
of Life brings happiness of sound mind in a sound body. Yogic living 
implies discriminative living. Yoga is equanimity, equipoise, or 
equilibrium. It is the secret master-key to open the realms of eternal 
bliss and deep abiding peace".

"Key to Bliss" - Denting of I (ego), Surrendering to the Lord and 
Selfless Service; are the true ways to achieve Bliss, lasting peace and 
real happiness" - Brahmleen H. H. Sri Swami Adhyatmananda

*"My Life is My Message."........."Don't be afraid of adversities, they 
make you strong" *
Just as the deep-rooted tree stands tall in spite of the calamities in 
the form of severe storms, tornadoes, hail storms, or torrential rain, I 
have faced many adversities, ups & downs, impediments, agony, along the 
journey of 50 years of my monastic life and came out strong. Life has 
given me exuberance, joy, bubbling energy. Awakening of inner SELF lead 
me to spread the Glories of the DIVINE. Look at Nature, there is Fall & 
Spring, there is Sunrise & Sunset, there is Ebb & Flow. It is the Law of 
Nature. Ups & down is a part of Life. Don't be afraid of adversities, 
they make you strong. In all situations, be rooted in the Absolute 
Truth, Abide in the SELF, sing HIS Glories, Surrender at the holy feet 
of your Guru. Stick to the path guided by your Guru. Chant the Guru 
Mantra with unwavering faith. Hold on to Hari-Nama, the Lord's name is 
the solution for all the trials and tribulations of Life. Intensify your 
faith only on one thought " I am Thine, Thou art Mine, Thy will be 
done".  “O God, I am Thine, Thy wish is mine as I have none”.  Guru's 
Grace is unfailing; it is ever ready to help you. I have experienced in 
my life, you can too.

Divine Name is a safe boat that can take you to the other shore of 
fearlessness, freedom and bliss Immortal",  “In all conditions, I am 
Bliss, Bliss, and Bliss Absolute," says Swami Sivananda. Have Yearning 
for God-Realization.

What more can I say? The secret of my joy in life (of 75 years) is 
unbroken Guru Smarana, faith in my GURU, abiding at the Holy feet of my 
GURU. Ever flowing Grace & Blessings of my Guru is the supreme joy of my 
Life.- (This is from message delivered by Brahmleen H. H. Sri Swami 
Adhyatmananda Maharaj on  the occasion of  His 75  Birthday Celebrations 
on May 3, 2020)  << More>>

How simple, How sublime, How Divine are these Messages! How precious are 
these messages now when Pujya Swamiji is no longer with us in the 
Physical form! He is free from the bondage of the body and liberated now 
and has merged in the Infinite.

*We all miss Pujya Swamiji's physical presence, but HE is free from the 
bondage of the body & liberated now. He has merged in the Infinite. 
Pujya Swamiji is with us in the Spirit and HIS subtle Presence will 
continue to guide us.<< Read Complete>>
