<p>"Act now. Live now. Know now. Realize now. Be happy now. </p>
<p>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. </p>
<p>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".........</p>
<p>"Waver not. Fear not. Doubt not. Do something substantial in
the path of Sadhana instead of wasting your<br>
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"............ <br>
</p>
<p> </p>
<p>"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. <br>
</p>
<p>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

align="right" height="149" width="129">"......I place before you for
your
consideration the inner significance and import of this apparently
common but very shrewd and correct saying: “Nothing succeeds like
success.” It is true, success puts you into a positive state, makes you
self-confident. Then the door to success is thrown wide open for you.
Therefore, always have this state of positive self-confidence, a
robust, determined state of mind, and attain the Goal, not in the
distant future, not in another birth, but in this very life, and become
supremely blessed!......." - Swami Chidananda <a

Bhujangasana, Baddha-Naukasana, Kati -Utthanasana, Ushtrasana, Bharmari
Pranayama & Shavasana are very helpful.<br>
Practice of Shalabhasana at the end of Bhujangasana and
practice of Dhanurasana on completion of Ushtrasana are found very
beneficial for the backache. Therefore, without any type of
hurry, with perfect
quiet attitude & balance state of mind, practise Asanas, Bhramari

Peace, Joy
and prosperity eradicate the vices and develop virtues.....</span><span
