GREAT THOUGHTS-

LET US PRESUME THAT RELIGION HAS A GREAT MESSAGE TO THE WORLD AND IT IS QUITE SCIENTIFIC. THIS ONLY PRESUMPTION. IN OUR RESEARCH, IF WE WERE TO  DISCOVER THAT THIS NOT TRUE, WE SHALL DECLARE TO THE WORLD OUR FINDINGS. IF WE, ON THE OTHER HAND, BY SHEER ACCIDENT, COME TO DISCOVER THAT IN RELIGION THERE IS SCIENTIFIC TREATMENT OF LIFE AND ITS VALUES, LET US THEN TRY TO LIVE THOSE NOBLER VALUES AND COME TO DECLARE TO THE WORLD THE REAL MEANING OF TRUE RELIGION.

THE JNANA YAJNA  IS THUS A MOVEMENT OF RENAISSANCE RATHER THAN AN ATTEMPT AT CREATING A SECT OF COMPROMISERS TRYING TO BUILD UP A LIMITED COCOON TO BURY THEMSELVES IN! WE SHALL, GO INTO THESE GENERAL DEFINITIONS WHICH ARE ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY IN UNDERSTANDING ANY TEXT.

Personal Life & Legacy : Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel tied the knot at the age of 18, to Jhaverba, who was twelve years of age then. Following the traditional Hindu customs, which allowed the bride to stay with her parents until her husband had a decent income and an established household, the two stayed apart for a few years until Sardar Patel had definite income to fall back on. Along with Jhaverba, he set up a house in Godhra. The couple was blessed with a daughter, Manibehn, in 1904, and a son, Dahyabhai, two years later. In 1909, Jhaverba, who was suffering from cancer, underwent a major surgical operation. Though the operation was successful, Jhaverba’s health continued to decline. She passed away the same year.

Though he was taken care of intensely, his health worsened. To recuperate, he was flown to Mumbai, where he

Gospel of Lord Krishna : Sri Swami Sivananda -5.

27/11/2018 5. Repeatedly Lord Krishna extols righteousness. The greatest Bhakta is—not one who goes on rolling the beads, with selfishness, lust, anger and greed enshrined in his heart but—one who is endowed with all auspicious qualities, and who is devoted to the welfare of humanity. Lord Krishna does not define Jnana as scriptural erudition or an intellectual appreciation of philosophic truths or the capacity and cleverness to string words together and to indulge in vain debating. He defines Jnana as the sum total of the best of virtues. Read the thirteenth Chapter of the Bhagavadgita, you will understand this clearly. The Lord says: watch for these qualities in a man. If they are present, he is a Jnani, a saint; you can safely follow him and adopt him as your spiritual guide. If they are absent, avoid him, even though he may be an expert in the play of words and has learnt the whole of the Vedas and Sastras by heart. For, if you find that a tree is full of mango-fruits,

Sivananda's Personality - 15.

In 1949, opening a cupboard, the Master’s attendant found a bedsheet bitten by a rat, and inside the sheet were four of its newborns. They had hardly opened their eyes. He took them to the Master. When the Master saw the baby rats, his heart was flooded with compassion. He felt greatly pained that they should have been disturbed. He asked the attendant to put them back immediately in the same place and condition, lest their mother should miss them. This was done. But in a day or two, the mother rat got killed by a cat. Soon after, the little ones also died. When the Master saw the dead rats, he felt sad and did Maha Mantra Kirtan for a pretty long time for the peace of the departed souls. His attendant also joined him in the Kirtan. The Master fed ants with sugar, birds with rice, monkeys with gram, fish with bread. He kept water in pots for birds. "This will develop mercy and cosmic love," he said. "It will soften the stony heart
