Serve, Love, Give

Posted by Teachings of Swami Sivananda on November 12, 2011 at 6:00pm

Do not make any difference between menial and respectable work. If any one is suffering
from acute pain in any part of the body, at once shampoo the affected part very very gently. Feel that
you are serving the Lord in the body of the patient. Repeat your Ishta Mantra also. If you see a man
or animal bleeding on the roadside, tear your upper cloth or shirt and use it for bandaging. Do not
fight with the poor porters at the Railway Station. Be liberal and generous. Keep always some paise
in your pocke

Give, Give

Posted by Teachings of Swami Sivananda on November 11, 2011 at 6:00pm

Sins can be destroyed by charity.
Lord Jesus says, “Charity covereth a multitude of sins.” In the Gita you will find: “Yajno
danam tapas-chaiva pavanani manishinam: Yajna, charity and austerity are purifying to the wise.”
Doing abundant, spontaneous and unrestrained charity to relieve the pains of suffering
humanity is an effective means to destroy evil nature; give money like water. If you give, the whole
wealth of the world will be yours. Money will come to you. This is the immutable, inexorable,

Be Cheerful Always

Posted by Teachings of Swami Sivananda on November 10, 2011 at 6:00pm

Be cheerful and happy. Away with depression and gloom. There is nothing more infectious
than depression. Drive the feeling of depression and gloom at once by enquiry, singing divine
songs, prayers, Pranayama, a brisk walk in the open air, the thinking of the opposite quality viz., the
feeling of joy.
Live only to be a blessing to others. Feel that all is light and Bliss only. Do not allow the
mind to see any external objects. Collect all the dissipated rays of mind. Develop the power of
attention. Th

Establish Good Habits

Posted by Teachings of Swami Sivananda on November 9, 2011 at 7:00pm

Much of your subconsciousness consists of submerged experiences, memories thrown into
the background but recoverable. You can establish new habits, new ideas, new ideals, new tastes
and new character in the subconscious mind by changing the old ones.
Think deeply. Cogitate. Reflect. Have constant Satsanga. Do selfless service, Nishkamya
Yajna. Develop the four means or qualification—Sadhana Chatushtaya.
Do not jeer at any one. Do not frown at anybody. Restrain all your senses. Be cheerful
always. Do n

Control the mind skilfully and tactfully. Think rightly and clearly. Discipline the organ of
speech. Speak sweetly, gently, and truthfully. Become a man of measured words.
Be humble and do prostrations to all beings mentally. Feel the Divine Presence everywhere.

and kind acts. You will attain Supreme Peace and eternal happiness.
Attune your heart with the Lord by doing fervent and sincere prayer daily. Be

Cultivate Adaptability

Posted by Teachings of Swami Sivananda on November 6, 2011 at 6:30pm

Never grumble when you do service to others. Take delight in service. Watch for
opportunities to serve. Work is worship of the Lord.
Have an amiable, loving, social nature. Have sympathy, adaptability, self-restraint,
tolerance, love and mercy. Adjust yourself to the ways and habits of others. Be balanced even when
you are insulted, when others use harsh words against you. Have equal mind in pleasure and pain,
heat and cold.
Karma Yoga prepares the mind for the reception of Light and Knowledge. It exp

Healing Powers and Mantras

He who attained Mantra Siddhi can cure cobra bite or scorpion sting or any chronic disease by mere touch on the affected part. When a man is bitten by a cobra a telegram is sent to the Mantra Siddha. The Mantra Siddha recites the Mantra and the man who is bitten by a cobra is cured. What a grand marvel! Does this not prove the tremendous power of Mantra ? .

Understanding your Heart and its Diseases

Posted by Dr.Darshan Singh on October 2, 2011 at 10:30am

Heart diseases are the world’s largest killers, claiming 17.3 million lives a year. Governments all over the world are leaving no stone unturned in controlling the spread of these diseases. Billions are being spent on research and development of medicines and surgical procedures that can help heart patients.

Unselfishness and Siddhi

Posted by Teachings of Swami Sivananda on October 1, 2011 at 2:00pm

Those who utilise the Mantra power in curing snake bites, scorpion stings and chronic diseases should not accept any kind of presents or money. They must be absolutely unselfish. They should not accept even fruits or clothes. They will lose the power if they utilise the power for selfish purposes. If they are absolutely unselfish, if they serve the humanity with Sarvatma Bhava, their power will increase through the grace of the Lord.

Healing Power of Mantras

Posted by Teachings of Swami Sivananda on September 29, 2011 at 2:00pm

Chronic diseases can be cured by Mantras. Chanting of Mantras generate potent spiritual waves or divine vibrations. They penetrate the physical and astral bodies of the patients and remove the root causes of sufferings. They fill the cells with pure Sattva or divine energy. They destroy the microbes and vivify the cells and tissues. They are best, most potent antiseptics and germicides. They are more potent than ultra-violet rays or Roentgen rays.
