<div align="left"> YOGA is a perfect, practical
system of self-culture. You can attain harmonious
development of your mind, body and soul by the
practice of Yoga. Yoga is an exact science. You can
acquire absolute control over the whole nature by
its practice. It helps the student to attain ethical
perfection, perfect concentration of the mind and to
unfold various psychic powers. It teaches applied
psychology. It helps the practitioner to enter into
conscious communion with the Lord through Samadhi,
to separate himself from the three Gunas and to
attain Kaivalya or independence eventually.</div>
<div align="left"> <br>
Yoga is the method by which the finite self or the
individual soul is united with the Infinite Self or
the Supreme Soul. Yajnavalkya defines Yoga, "Samyoga
yoga iti ukto jivatma-paramatmano iti—the
conjunction of the individual soul and the supreme
soul is called Yoga."<br>
<br>
An aspirant in the path of Yoga should be humble,
simple, gentle, refined, tolerant, merciful and
kind. He should seek Truth everywhere. He should
show reverence to Sadhus, Sannyasins, Bhaktas,
Mahatmas, and Sages and to the Srutis and the
Scriptures.<br>
<br>
A right understanding of the nature of the Self,
through enquiry of "Who am I?" and study of
Upanishads, a strong conviction that this world is
illusory and unreal—arrived at through
discrimination and consequent birth of dispassion—a
strong yearning for liberation or attainment of the
goal and regular practice of meditation will
undoubtedly produce an attitude of detachment to the
world and sublimate not only the desire for
augmenting mental and physical powers but also all
sorts of mundane desires.<br>
<br>
Hatha Yoga, Raja Yoga, Karma Yoga, Bhakti Yoga—all
these Yogas—prepare the aspirant for the attainment
of knowledge of the Self and culminate in Jnana
Yoga. Therefore he should have a comprehensive
understanding of all the Yogas. He should march on
to the goal steadily, practising one particular Yoga
which suits his taste and temperament. He can take
such points from the other Yogas which will help him
to attain progress and reach the goal quickly. In
other words, every aspirant can make a happy
combination of the above Yogas taking care not to
confuse one with the other at any stage of his
practices. He should use his common-sense at every
stage. He must be able to find out for himself
whether he is progressing or not by careful
introspection and self-analysis. - Sri Swami
Sivananda <a><br>

<div align="left">“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.”</div>

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 ”<a

</font></div>
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. <br>
</div>
<div align="left">
<div align="left"><br>
</div>
<div align="left">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. <font face="Arial Narrow"><a

satsang was indeed a blessed experience for all.
It was the best time for devotees of Indian Hindu
Welfare organization (IHWO) of Northampton (UK ).
Everyone is very happy and keen to invite him to

of professional life, Swamiji said anything you
do, think of God. Anything you do eating, drinking

awareness of His existence. Your profession turns
into spiritual."- Ravi Ponanagi (PR, India

“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

<div align="left">"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

Power Wins ALL Powers". Be cheerful. Be

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

refuge. Call HIM by any name Ishwar, Allah,
Jehovah, Ahura Mazda, Zande vats, Waheguru,
Jesus, Moses, Buddha, Rama, Krishna, Durga,

“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”.<br>
<br>
"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".<br>
<br>
"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" -

<div align="left"> <b>"My Life is My
Message."........."Don't be afraid of
adversities, they make you strong" </b><br>
</div>
<div align="left"> 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.
