Go beyond Desires

Posted by Teachings of Swami Sivananda on June 30, 2011 at 2:00pm

Destroy the Vasanas, subtle desires, and Trishnas, cravings. This will lead to the annihilation of the mind. Destruction of the mind will lead to the attainment of Brahma Jnana or wisdom of the Self.

Freedom and Immortality

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

You are ever free. You are already free. Moksha is not a thing to be attained. You will have to know that you are Atman, that you are free.

Enter into the timeless State

Posted by Teachings of Swami Sivananda on June 28, 2011 at 2:00pm

This Atman is beyond time, space, causation. Time, space, causation are mental creation.

Guest Of God

Posted by Dhiraj Gangani on June 25, 2011 at 2:40pm

Guest of God!

I had come across a very good emo-devotional song classified as the ''Bhav Geet'.The song , in my mother tongue Gujarati ,has a spiritaul drive and its written by an unkown 'devottee'

The words are touching as those have come out of the teachings of one of the saints of our times in my geogrophical area .And when I start remebering the event where it was sung, I JUST go back and Re-Live in those wet and great moments filled with flowing tears , to make me feel very royal.I get GOOD A

Go beyond Sensual Pleasure

Posted by Teachings of Swami Sivananda on June 25, 2011 at 2:00pm

Sensual pleasure is only pain. It is momentary mental excitement, momentary sensation of flesh, momentary itching and scratching of the senses. You can have eternal bliss in your own Inner Atman alone.

By Swami Sivananda, from the Book Amrita Gita. Swami Sivananda lived from 1887-1963. He was one of the great Yoga Masters of the 20th Century who made Yoga available to a great public. Copyright of the texts of Swami Sivananda The Divine Life Society Rishikesh

Remove Attachments

Posted by Teachings of Swami Sivananda on June 24, 2011 at 2:00pm

I-ness and mine-ness, agency and enjoyership bind you to the Samsara. Destroy these notions. Identify yourself with the Atman which is non-doer, non-enjoyer. You will attain Immortality and eternal Bliss.

Dhyana mudra

Posted by Swami Saradananda on June 23, 2011 at 6:04pm

Rest your hands in your lap with the right hand on top of your left with both palms upward. Bring the tips of the two thumbs together gently.

This mudra brings increased power to your meditation and you in attaining self-realization.

Extensive practice is said to create a powerful aura around your face, which is noticed by and has a positive effect on everybody who comes into contact with you. Dhyana mudra aids concentration, gives you mental relief and stops your mind from wandering.

Brahman alone is real

Posted by Teachings of Swami Sivananda on June 22, 2011 at 2:00pm

Just as snake is superimposed on the rope, this world, and the body are superimposed on Brahman.

Go beyond Ignorance

Posted by Teachings of Swami Sivananda on June 21, 2011 at 2:00pm

Ignorance is the cause for pain and sorrow. Annihilate this ignorance through Brahma Jnana. All miseries will come to an end.

There is only One Self

Posted by Teachings of Swami Sivananda on June 20, 2011 at 2:00pm

Behold the one Immortal Atman in all names and forms. This alone is correct perception.

Reality and Truth

Posted by Teachings of Swami Sivananda on June 19, 2011 at 2:00pm

There is only one Reality or Truth. That is Brahman or Atman. All appearances are unreal. They are the effects of Maya, the illusory power of Brahman.

Waking dreaming and deep sleep

Posted by Teachings of Swami Sivananda on June 18, 2011 at 2:00pm

In dream you are distinct from the physical body. In deep sleep, you are distinct from the body and the mind. You enjoy peace and bliss in deep sleep. This proves that you are neither body nor mind, but you are All-Blissful Soul

You are

Posted by Teachings of Swami Sivananda on June 17, 2011 at 2:00pm

You cannot deny or doubt your existence. You always feel that you exist. This existence is Atman or your own Self. The knower of the doubt or denier always exists. That knower is your own Atman.

Brahman and Atman are One

Posted by Teachings of Swami Sivananda on June 16, 2011 at 2:00pm

Brahman or Atman is beyond the reach of the mind and speech. He is beyond logic, reason, mental process, science. He must be realised through meditation.
