NEW YEAR'S MESSAGE

Swami Sivananda

Man must rise above selfishness and exclusive, personal consideration, for the sake of larger interest. He has to abjure parochial tendencies for the sake of general well-being. Not regional and party loyalty but national unity should be his first consideration. A true patriot can only be a world-citizen. A disciplined man can only serve the people. One who has no peace within oneself cannot bring peace to others. One who has no peace within one's own home cannot bring peace to the community. If the nation is materially and spiritually weak, its talk of promoting world peace is farcical.

Sweeter than all sweet things, more auspicious than all auspicious things, purer than all pure things is the name of the Lord. OM is everything. OM is the name of God. Name is the bridge that connects the devotee with God. God's name is the way and the goal. Name is the weapon to destroy the mind. The name has the power to burn sins and desires. - Swami Sivananda Real happiness lies in a simple and pure life. Love of the Lord will transform you into a Divine Being. Cultivate true love for the Lord by glorifying Him, by chanting His Name and by hearing Swami Chidananda Chant the Maaha Mantra Hare Rama Hare Rama Rama Rama Hare Hare Hare Krishna Hare Krishna Krishna Krishna Hare Hare BE HAPPY https://sekhar789.blogspot.com/2020/07/the-light-of-wisdomchidananda148a.html

LIGHT FROM SAINTS

Swami Sivananda

Charity is not merely giving a little money to the poor. True charity is forgiving one who offends you—any number of times. An aspirant who wants to grow in saintliness should cultivate desirelessness, purity and selflessness. It is the extent to which he grows in these three cardinal virtues that decides the degree of his spiritual progress. What is it that is outside us? What is there above us? What is it within us? What is this world What is God? What is Soul? Only a saint knows the reality of the answer. The great injunction of the ancient seers and sages of transcendental experience has always been to uphold the spiritual sanctity and the unity of life. Life is sacred. In sacredness it should be lived.

the presence of God wherever you go for God is everywhere. There is no place where He is not. He is in you and you are in Him. He is nearer than relatives and friends. Live in Him. Love for the Lord brings you all joy, bliss and blessedness in life Swami Chidananda'' Constant meditation on Om allows the individual consciousness to take the form of Om itself, which is unlimited in its nature. The meditator becomes ultimately the object of meditation itself. - Swami Krishnananda Chant the Maaha Mantra Hare Rama Hare Rama Rama Rama Hare Hare Hare Krishna Hare Krishna Krishna Krishna Hare Hare BE HAPPY  Radhe krishna, Have a blessed day, LIGHT FROM SAINTS Swami Sivananda Study the lives of saints. They will inspire you tremendously. Hold Satsanga in your own house and narrate the lives of saints to your family and children and friends. Save the money that you waste on luxuries and with that amount print and distribute widely leaflets and pamphlets narrating the lives of saints. Practising the teachings of and thinking constantly of saints, you will become a saint yourself. Saints try to fulfil the will of God. They alone can understand what is the will of God. Their thoughts pervade the whole earth and fill the hearts of all receptive beings. Divine thoughts generated by saints preserve spiritual sanctity in the world.  Be like a rare fragrant flower in this garden of God which you call the world. Add beauty to it by your being in it. - Swami Chidananda Chant the Maaha Mantra Hare Rama Hare Rama Rama Rama Hare Hare Hare Krishna Hare Krishna Krishna Krishna Hare Hare BE HAPPY https://sekhar789.blogspot.com/2020/07/all-is-one-divine-family-chidananda146.html

CONQUEST OF ANGER

Swami Sivananda

Anger is the worst fire. It burns your heart. Extinguish this fire through enquiry, love, forgiveness, and patience. Try to govern your temper. Control your anger. Anger is the enemy of devotion, peace and wisdom. Anger takes its origin from covetousness. It disappears through forgiveness. Anger begets many vices such as injustice, violence, harshness, murder, quarrel, fighting, etc. From covetousness originates anger; from covetousness grows lust.

Perfect serenity, cultivation of divine virtues, entertaining holy thoughts, discipline of diet — all these pave the way to success along spiritual path.

- Swami Sivanan

da

Start the day with prayer and Japa of the Divine Name. Follow this by little exercises and

deep breathing. Remember God at all times, everywhere. You need not be a Yogi but you must be

an Aadarsha-Purusha. Your personality must shine with a radiant light of great qualities. Virtue

must occupy your heart and mind. Be bold. Be courageous. Be cheerful always. Service, worship

and meditation must constitute your inner life. Always do vichawar.

PRACTICAL SPIRITUALITY

Swami Sivananda

Jesus was absorbed in the task of showing unto mankind a way out of this mundane life and attaining Eternal Bliss. He came to save man from this ocean of birth-death existence and to take them across to the other shore of Immortal Life. Therefore He preached the gospel of practical spirituality. Leaving aside all abstruse philosophical theory and subtle intellectual researches, Jesus told man how he must live, what he must think, what he must feel, and what he must do. To do this he clothed even the highest truths of spiritual life with simple stories and parables, which even the common man in the street could easily grasp and comprehend. Couched in the form of simple parables, the deepest wisdom of spiritual life became expressed before man, through the sweet and blessed words of Divine Jesus. Innumerable are the divine admonitions of Christ. Even a consideration of a select few of them would help to throw a great deal of light upon the path towards the attainment of the spiritual goal.

Life is precious. Therefore, spend your time in useful pursuits. Set apart sometime during
the course of the day for prayer and worship. Feel the presence of the Lord wherever you go for He
is everywhere. He is closer than our breath and nearer than our hands and feet. He is in you and you

are in Him. Always abide in Himami

THE LIFE DIVINE

Swami Chidananda

Lord Jesus warns: �No man can serve two masters: ye cannot serve God and mammon.� Mammon promises immediate physical pleasure which lures man away, along the broadway towards destruction. �Ye are the salt of the earth; but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted?� If man, the crown of God�s creation, has lost his power of discrimination; if he, made in the image of God, chooses the path of evil, what will happen to civilisation, to humanity? He will lead the whole world to destruction.

We are all moving temples of the Supreme Eternal Spirit. It is all auspiciousness, all radiance that abides in each one of us. - Swami Chidananda Chant the Maaha Mantra Hare Rama Hare Rama Rama Rama Hare Hare Hare Krishna Hare Krishna Krishna Krishna Hare Hare BE HAPPY

THE LIFE DIVINE

Swami Sivananda

How simple, glorious and grand is the life divine! Yet, �few there be that find it,� says Lord Jesus. What we see around us today amply justifies this prophetic utterance of the Saviour: �Because strait is the gate and narrow is the way which leadeth unto life.� The objects of the world which promise immediate sense-satisfaction and physical comfort are so tempting that man instinctively grabs at them. But they lead him to destruction�to the destruction of the one great gift of the Lord that serves as the light of his life, viz., discrimination. It is discrimination that distinguishes man from animal. But by leading a sensual life he has degenerated into an animal. �If the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness!� How true! If the power of discrimination that the Lord has bestowed upon man be made to subserve the animal instincts of man, the craving for sense pleasures, what wonder is there tha

Pray to God daily. Let the sacred Name of the Lord ever be upon thy lips. Dedicate all your

household duties to the Lord at the end of each day. Feel the presence of the Lord wherever you go.
