The sun does not shine there, nor do the moon and the stars, nor do lightnings shine and much less fire. All the lights of the world cannot be compared even to a ray of the inner light of the Self. Merge yourself in this light of lights and enjoy the supreme Deepavali. He who Himself sees all but whom no one beholds, who illumines the intellect, the sun, the moon and the stars and the whole universe but whom they cannot illumine, He indeed is Brahman, He is the inner Self. Celebrate the real Deepavali by living in Brahman, and enjoy the eternal bliss of the soul.- Swami Sivananda ....<<More>>.
 Before
"Lakshmi Pujan" or Worship of Sri Mahalakshmi, let us
understand Her real Nature (Swaroopa). Divine treasure or Real
wealth of mankind are fearlessness, purity of heart, steadfastness
in the yoga of knowledge, charity, control of the senses,
performance of sacrifice, study of the Vedas or holy scriptures,
straightforwardness, non violence, truthfulness, freedom from
anger, renunciation, peacefulness, absence of crookedness,
compassion for all Living beings, non-covetousness, gentleness,
modesty, steady determination, vigor, forgiveness, fortitude, free
from envy and absence of pride. All these virtues needs to be
cultivated or in other words to have these virtues means to have the
possession of the great wealth or real Lakshmi or "Subha Lakshmi.""Subha Lakshmi" brings joy, peace, harmony blessedness, natural love, feeling for fellow beings and upliftment of the mankind. It’s full of SATWA. Let us seek the grace of Supreme Blessedness on Lakshmi Poojan day and celebrate Deepavali in real sense. Om Shanti. -Swami Adhyatmananda Sri Suktam - Sri Ashtalaxmi Stuti Sri Yantra - meaning
Paradox of God -Realization  Radiant Immortal Atman! Beloved children of the Divine! You who are jijnasus searching for knowledge that enlightens and wisdom that liberates, you who are mumukshus yearning for liberation, liberation from ignorance, darkness and bondage, from finite limitations, know this truth: that though God-realisation, or the supreme state of liberation and illumination, is not the product of karma, is not the result of an act or the fruit of a certain process or exertion, but it is nitya prapta avastha (eternally attained state), nija svarupa (one’s own true nature), nevertheless, precisely in order to become convinced of this, to know this intellectually, to develop faith and belief in this truth, and to realise this as an experience, one’s own personal experience, tremendous effort is necessary. Action is called for and that action is called sadhana........ - Swami Chidananda << More>>
 Anemia
What is Anemia ? What Causes of
anemia? How Yoga treatment
helps Anemia ?
Anemia is a condition that develops when
your blood lacks enough healthy red blood cells. These cells are the
main transporters of oxygen to organs. If red blood cells are also
deficient in hemoglobin, then your body isn't getting enough iron.
Symptoms of anemia -- like fatigue -- occur because organs aren't
getting enough oxygen.
