alt="" width="120" height="153" align="left">"The Yoga
of Synthesis alone will develop the head, heart and
hand, and lead one to perfection. To become harmoniously
balanced in all directions is the ideal of religion and
of Yoga. This can be achieved by the practice of the
Yoga of Synthesis.</div>
<div align="left"><br>
</div>
<div align="left">To behold the one Self in all beings is
Jnana, wisdom; to love the Self is Bhakti, devotion; to
serve the Self is Karma, action. When the Jnana Yogi
attains wisdom, he is endowed with devotion and self
less activity. Karma Yoga is for him a spontaneous
expression of his spiritual nature, as he sees the one
Self in all. When the devotee attains perfection in
devotion, he is possessed of wisdom and activity. For
him also, Karma Yoga is a spontaneous expression of his
divine nature, as he beholds the one Lord everywhere.
The Karma Yogi attains wisdom and devotion when his
actions are wholly selfless. The three paths are, in
fact, one in which the three different temperaments
emphasize one or the other of its inseparable
constituents. Yoga supplies the method by which the Self
can be seen, loved and served.</div>
<div align="left"><br>
</div>
<div align="left">Hence everyone should have one Yoga as
the basic Yoga and combine other Yogas. You can combine
Nishkama Karma Yoga, Hatha Yoga, Raja Yoga, Bhakti Yoga,
Sankirtan Yoga, etc., with Jnana Yoga as the basis. This
is my Yoga of Synthesis, which will ensure rapid
spiritual progress.</div>
<div align="left"><br>
</div>
<div align="left">A little practice of Hatha Yoga (Asanas
and Pranayamas) will give you good health. Raja Yoga
will steady your mind. Upasana and Karma Yoga will
purify your heart and prepare you for the practice of
Vedanta. Sankirtan will relax your mind and inspire you.
Meditation will take you to liberation- Swami Sivananda

<div align="left">"When You Wake up In The Morning" <br>
<br>
"Waking up in the morning should not merely mean waking
up into this maya-bazaar, waking up into this temporary
world of pain and death. It should not only mean waking
up into this little, confined, outer earth awareness. It
should also simultaneously mean waking up into the
awareness of your divinity which has been temporarily
suspended in sleep. And keep up that inner wakefulness
along with your outer physical wakefulness of the senses
and the mind. Keep up the inner wakefulness of your
svarupa. That is the great thing needful. That is what
will make your life divine. That is what will take you,
day by day, higher and higher towards the Goal Supreme.
And this you have to do for yourself, with wisdom."<br>
<br>
"When you wake up in the morning, what do you wake up
to? When you come into a state of awareness, what is
that state of awareness? What is its level, what is its
plane, what is its content, what purpose does it serve?
Think deeply about it, and be a true jijnasu, a true
mumukshu, a true seeker, a true devotee of the Supreme.
Be a true part of Divinity, a true amsa of paramatma,
and make your life divine. This is the greatest way in
which you can bless yourself." - Swami Chidananda <a

Spiritual Sadhana. Omkar is the best Pranayam."<br>
<br>
"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 <a

<div align="left">"Spiritual Doctor" <br>
On one occasion I went to Swamiji and told him that
with so many base thoughts I was unfit for the Ashram
life, and as such, I must be permitted to go back
home. To this Swamiji replied, "Because you have got
all these drawbacks you are eminently fit for the
Ashram life. When you are sick, what will you do? You
will go and consult a doctor, join the hospital, take
the prescribed medicine and follow the dietetic
restrictions. Once you join the Hospital, you must do
whatever the doctor says, and having faith in him, you
must completely free yourself from all worries and
anxieties. In a like manner, the moment you detect
such base thoughts in you, you must go to a Guru, take
his advice, do whatever he says and, above all, have
faith in him and surrender to him completely, and the
recovery is bound to follow."<br>
<br>
"Veternary Doctor" <br>
One day Dr. Raoji noticed a dog lying near the office
room of the Ashram. It was full of sores and worms. It
was clear that it had been in agony for some time. The
tender heart of Rao Swamiji bled at the pathetic
sight. He gave some medicines and injections and
dressed its affected parts with proper bandage and
slept near the dog tending it the whole night. When
the Ashramites saw this in the morning they were
simply dazed. Gurudev remarked that Rao Swamiji was
not a man but the very embodiment of compassion.<br>
