LIFE- The greatest gift of God.

Life is too precious thing to waste
Wake up early everyday,Win the Battle over the Bed and put mind over the mattress.
Benjamin Franklin once said ''there will be plenty of time to sleep when you are dead.''
We all realise that with little more effort and belief in ourselves;we can perform much bigger than what we presently are .

Our DREAMS and ASPIRATIONS are what take us a long way to scale greater heights and

If there are no hopes and desires ,drudging through the daily routine would be the only way of life left for all of us

Motivation ,inspires us to excel in our respective fields

We need to become aware of the the abundance with which GOD has endowed our lives in the form of golden sunshine ,the beautiful blue sky,the murmuring stream with crystal clear water,the seven colored rainbow,the twinkling stars and moon in the dark night.The different forms of life around us;let us view the.;become aware of presence

The species of animal,birds and insects ;How wonderful they are !It is only with stray experiences in life,that one realises, what a beautiful gift life is

Every single day life has something new to offer,we only have to keep our eyes and mind open.Suddenly you discover a new flower , a new tree, a new fruit .
The greatest gift to human beings is in the form of the developed mind and ability to distinguish between the wrong and the right.
The aim and purpose of yoga is the right understanding, right attitude and right behaviour ,
In the present modern era Swami Shivananda Saraswati from Rishikesh profounded the eight limbs to be followed and understand the purpose of the gift of God- LIFE
SERVE THE PEOPLE,
LOVE THE PEOPLE,
GIVE THE PEOPLE,
PURIFY SELF,
BE GOOD TO PEOPLE,
DO GOOD TO PEOPLE ,
THEN MEDITATE ,&
REALIZE ..............
SWAMI SHIVANANDA SAYS"HAPPINESS COMES IN LIFE WHEN THE INDIVIDUAL MERGES WITH GOD". This should be the grand finale of everyones life.

The Power of a name

This is a very welknown story about Swami Ram teerth .Once he was a guest at a king's palace and one of his devotee, a sardar stayed with him during the night time .The sardar could not sleep as there fell on his ear the chanting of RAM NAAM.[the name of Ram]He could hear it all around him ,the continuous chanting of the lord's name .

Perplexed ,he got out of the room hoping to find someone there but he soon realised that sound of the Ram chanting faded as he went further away from the room.Again he entered the place where Swami Ramteerth was sleeping and sat down near his feet and held his feet .To his surprise he experienced the RAM name from swamis feet, same experience was evoked on touching his hands too.It dawned upon the sardar that wherever he touched the saint ,the sound vibrations of RAM NAAM echoed from that part of the Swami'As body .

Swami Ramteerth woke up on being touched and found the devotee sitting dumbfounded at his bedside

He asked ''Swamiji please tell me the secretof RAM NAAM oozing from all over your body''.Swamiji smiled and said,''I have from my early childhood , continuously uttered the Lord's name and on growing up, I persued his name all the while ,so the name is submerged not only with my body and mind but also with my atman.

This is true example of devotion and sadhna for any spiritual seeker.The sardar bowed down before the Swami and said ,''You just got up from a small nap but I have woken up out of slumber of all these years

When mind and consciousness submerge together,UNION TAKES PLACE WITH THE SUPREME.Once you experience this stage ,you ae blessed with bliss where you only remain a witness

THE POWER OF THINKING

The thoughts are a form of energy of the mind but at the same time they can also be responsible for decay of both body cells and neurons of our brain.Our emotions are electro- chemically charged and connected with the endocrine ,nervous and immune system via our thoughts and feelings .When we think negatively or have experience negative emotions like anger ,anxiety and fear ,all our systems will be negatively charged and will procur a chain of negative reactions.We should therefore always be careful whenever we are confronted with unfavourable people and situations in life

To a large extent most of us suffer some degree of anger and depression leading to physical sicknesses.This can be averted only if we change our negative attitude into positive outlook.It is said that only 10 percent is what happens to you and the rest 90 percent is your response ,how you look at the problem; how much you believe in yourself at solving it

Perhaps we should think like this ; it is GOD who is putting us to test by sending the hardships and troubles so that we establish ourselves and start believing firmly in goodness

One should always make an effort to fight emotions like bitterness ,anger and resentment

According to neurologists ,GOD created neuron in the brain for the sentiment of love.If you and I experience GOD's love and shower it on others, every organ in our body will function to its optimum level.Positive energy will ooze from every pore of the skin

Be Happy make all around also happy
