07/05/2019 "There is One unchanging indivisible Reality which, though unmanifest, reveals Itself in infinite multiplicity and diversity. That One “ the Supreme Truth “ is ever present everywhere in all circumstances. Referred to as Brahman, He is no other than God Almighty." "God Almighty is nameless and formless; yet all names and forms are His. He is the Father, Mother, Guru, Friend, Creator, Preserver, Destroyer, everything. His essence is Being, Consciousness and Bliss. Indeed, He is in everything and everything is in Him; there is nothing but Him." "Try to see God in everything and in everybody, including yourself. God Himself is revealed in some guise even in individuals supposed to be sinners, as also in Suffering seemingly unbearable." ***

06/05/2019 "Be strong!  You talk of ghosts and devils. We are the living devils. The sign of life is strength and growth. The sign of death is weakness. Whatever is weak, avoid! It is death. If it is strength, go down into hell and get hold of it! There is salvation only for the brave. "None but the brave deserves the fair." None but the bravest deserves salvation." "Be a hero. Always say, I have no fear. Tell this to everyone  Have no fear." "Be brave! Be strong! Be fearless! Once you have taken up the spiritual life, fight as long as there is any life in you. Even though you know you are going to be killed, fight till you re killed. Dont die of fright. Die fighting. Dont go down till you are knocked down." "Be not afraid, for all great power throughout the history of humanity has been with the people. From out of their ranks have come all the greatest geniuses of the world, and history can only repeat itself. Be not afraid o...

05.05.2019 "The passing of the soul from plane to plane is all a process of Consciousness within the Absolute. Just as our movements in the dream-world are actual spatial allocations of personality but are really within the circumference of mental activity - all dream being only within the mind - so is the transmigration of souls real empirically but are activities of Consciousness within its bosom." ***

THE CALL OF THE REAL : 3. SWAMI SIVANANDA 04/05/2019 The divine play of manifestation, through its scenes of appearing and disappearing in the variegated colours of life and death, drives home to mankind the lesson that this life is only an act in the stage of becoming, where many parts are played and no part in itself is complete enough to give the character of wholeness to the play. Every actor on the stage behaves in such a way that he does not portray himself as an unrelated independent personality, but endeavours to be an integral part of the entire play. This behaviour of the actor fitted to the wholeness of the play is his dramatic peculiarity or the Dharma which unites all actors to the whole, which is the ultimate purpose. The Dharma of man is his religion which binds him to the Whole, which shows that he is a part of the Whole, trying to abide by the Law of the Whole and aiming at fulfilling the purpose of the Whole. For, the Whole is the truth and the good of all ...

My Dharmam The Gita.... the Divine Song starts with the words "Dharma" and concludes with the term 'Mine'(Mama); and therefore, the contents of the Gita, we may conclude, is nothing but " My Dharma"(Mama Dharma).....If we are to live as truly dynamic men in the world, we must also live faithfully to our true nature , and the Gita explains to me "My Dharma".

02/05/2019 "Difference between Knowledge and Wisdom ( Jnanam and Vijnanam)" We live in a world rife with information. Information without authority which we carry is "knowledge". But that which is authenticated by the scriptures is wisdom " Vijnanam" . People who carry information or disseminate it without real wisdom are pitied by the wise. Bhagavad Gita advises you that true knowledge comes from Guru. Anything around you, including your life experiences that teach you, should be considered a Guru. Bhagavatham speaks of 24 gurus. We have a golden opportunity to study Kathopanishad that motivated Swami Vivekananda to spread unquestionable wisdom to the world. Kathopanishad cautions you against our own reluctance to change which would degrade us and finally cause rejection. Knowledge is a burden but wisdom is strength. Here to walk the path of wisdom let us learn so we can flow like Ganga in grace and happiness.........Vidwan Sarvathra poo...
