It is not reaching somewhere or getting at something external. The attainment is in dissolving the mind and intelligence, and getting into the very core of oneself. It is like multiplying everything with zero." ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- BIOGRAPHY : Swami Bhoomananda Tirtha – a Knower of the Supreme Truth – can be best described as a 'University of Life'. Poojya Swamiji was only 23 years o...

THE SOUL OF LEADERSHIP. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Sunday, May 23, 2021. 7:17. AM. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A leader is yourself embodied. He is the deepest core of your own being. He is the fulfillment of your desire. He is the joy of your heart, the inspiration behind your work, the dedication of your life. He is the spirit of the whole group.          A leader is a seer. He can see in the future and make preparation to welcome it. He sees the dawn of morrow when the night is still dark. He is the silver lining of the dark clouds.          A leader is swift and agile like a deer. He dares to face challenges. He dares to dream the impossible. He dares to dream heaven on earth. He seals the bond among people. He is the link joining all. He empathises with all and develops an instant rapport with p...

  ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Saturday, May 22, 2021. 7:19.AM. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- In a vast ocean, there are multitudes of waves. Every wave has a fundamental and basic relationship with the ocean. It is ever related to the ocean without which and apart from which it has no existence. Its relationship with other waves is not fundamental; it is only ‘relative’. Similarly, all of us have a fundamental relationship with the Lord. Our first and foremost relationship is with God. All other worldly relationships are secondary; they are fleeting and relative. That is why, our family members are referred to as ‘relatives!’ Our relationship with the Lord is eternal and absolute. Everyone else, with whom I am associated, also has a fundamental relationship with the Lord. Therefore, when I serve anyone, I must keep in mind, “I am worshipping God.” In this manner, actions remai...

AM. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------  Note – Sometimes we can also see people like Aswathama, they leap into trouble without thinking about the consequences and unaware of how to esacpe from it. An agitated mind takes you into a whirlpool of misery. On the contrary Arjuna represents a mind guided by the Lord, and so he can turn to the Lord whenever he needs protection. The two powerful Brahmastras heading for a collision with each other shook the whole world. The entire Earth, Sky and Space was covered with their fire-faces that shone like Sun’s fierce fire and the mighty fire emanating from Adisheshan’s face. The whole creation was bewildered and frightened. Arjuna realized that the most merciful Lord wanted him to withdraw both “Brahmastarms” for the survival of the world, so he withdrew them ...

  --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Thursday, May 20, 2021. 07:07.AM. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "The physical body longs for contact with the world of objects in order to gain sense gratification. The eyes wish to see beautiful forms and colors, the tongue craves good food, the nose likes to smell pleasant fragrances and so on. But when we continue to live only for the gratification of our sensual demands, passions multiply and ultimately consume us. To avoid such a condition, discipline (Brahmacharya) at the physical level is prescribed. The meaning of the word Brahmacharya has been so badly distorted that the real value of this discipline has been lost. Brahmacharya is an attitude of intelligent contact with the world. It does not mean a total denial of the sense enjoyments, but only insists on not overdoing anything. Thus to read, watch television, talk, or walk too much, or...

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Wednesday, May 19, 2021. 07:06.AM. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "You are related to the Cosmic Divinity. You have come here to attain that Divinity. May we move forward with a new strength, a new spirit and a new determination, focussing entirely upon the Goal and the Goal alone, making our entire life a total integrated movement towards the supreme consummation! May we progress towards the Goal each hour, minute and second to unfold and express our Divinity! May divinity be our keynote! Let us try to express and manifest this divinity every moment. May all the powers at our command be directed towards this one ideal of making our inner truth, our essential nature, our true identity! Live in such a way that you may emerge out as a shining, radiantly divine, perfect and liberated soul." ***** ===================================================...

 "The Ramayana and the Mahabharata, to mention two of the epics of the world, are magnificent edifices of artistic achievement. But only an artist can achieve that perfection; the layman cannot understand it, and even an appreciation of it is difficult. A magnificent painting, for instance, can be appreciated only by an equally great painter. A person who is not acquainted with the secrets and the principles of art and aesthetics may not be able to appreciate the paintings of Michelangelo or Leonardo da Vinci or Ravi Varma, etc. We will only say it is a beautiful picture and go away, but the man’s genius is there and he has painted not merely a pattern through colours but a picture of human mystery." ***** ========================================================================================

 Monday, May 17, 2021. 07:22.AM. A desire arises in the mind. It is satisfied immediately another comes. In the interval which separates two desires a perfect calm reigns in the mind. It is at this moment freed from all thought, love or hate. Complete peace equally reigns between two mental waves.
