Radiant Immortal Atman! Beloved children of the Divine! You who are <i>
jijnasus </i>searching for knowledge that enlightens and wisdom that
liberates, you who are <i>mumukshus </i>yearning for liberation,
liberation from ignorance, darkness and bondage, from finite
limitations, know this truth: that though God-realisation, or the
supreme state of liberation and illumination, is not the product of <i>
karma</i>,<i> </i>is not the result of an act or the fruit of a
certain process or exertion, but it is <i>nitya prapta avastha </i>(eternally
attained state), <i>nija svarupa </i>(one’s own true nature),
nevertheless,
precisely in order to become convinced of this, to know this
intellectually, to develop faith and belief in this truth, and to
realise this as an experience, one’s own personal experience,
tremendous effort is necessary. Action is called for and that action is
called <i>sadhana</i>........ - Swami

style=""></span></span>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"><span
style="color: black;">Anemia is a condition that
develops when your blood lacks enough healthy red blood cells. These
cells are
the main transporters of oxygen to organs. If red blood cells are also
deficient in hemoglobin, then your body isn't getting enough iron.
Symptoms of
anemia -- like fatigue -- occur because organs aren't getting enough
oxygen.<br>
There are many types of anemia,
which are divided into 3 broad groupings: Anemia caused by blood loss,
Anemia
caused by decreased or faulty red blood cell production and Anemia
caused by
destruction of red blood cells.<br>
Treatment : Proper Nurtition, Treatment directed to cause and the
practice of Pranayama, Manily Sitali
&
Sidhkari <span style=""> </span>— these three have proved very
valuable for the production of hemoglobin and necessary elements in the
blood
in the pure form.<u1:p> <span style=""></span>Sitali
& Shidhakari Pranayams performed in
the early morning before sunrise give good digestive power, hunger
increases
and blood gets purified. - Swami Adhyatmananda <a

"Jai Shree Krishna! We had wonderful day with Swamiji. We had a Yoga
class in the morning and another at night with over thirty
advanced yoga students.We also had a short
Sitar concert by Elliot Topper at candlelight. Swamiji had us sit in
meditation and sink us
into the music. And as Swamiji said, we went deep into the Self, beyond
cause and effect. I am so blessed to have him here. I am soaking up his
presence and I feel so full. And I am happy to see my students having
the same experience" ...... Myra Romero(Yoga teacher) <br>
