"AS OUR MIND SO IS OUR WORLD":-

NECESSITY OF HEALTHY MIND:-

Since it is our mind, that we perceive the world and gain our experiences, 'as our mind so is our world.' Nobody would deny the fact that a healthy mind and intellect are as much necessary as physical health to make a full life--------a fuller and nobler joy. We have been discovering, so far, in our discussions that religion is unavoidable in any scheme of true living in as much as it is a perfect science which alone can rehabilitate the disintegrated inner constitution in man.


Our age is suffering in spite of its luxuries and plenty, scientific growth and intellectual assertions, social developments and political awareness, mainly because of the shattering in our inner constitution. If in rehabilitating, or at least in reconstituting  the inward turmoil, religion can play a leading part, then certainly we can consider  it as an essential necessity in life. But does it? 


The science of Vedanta advises the treatment of meditation for making a genius   out of an ordinary man. The logic of meditation is quite scientific, and it can be easily comprehended  when we try to understand its technique.


In life, it has been always observed that to solve a problem is to rise above it. The problem of scarcity is never solved unless plenty has replaced it; weakness is not cured unless the patient gets himself established in strength. Similarly, the problems of our weakness in life ---arising out of our UN-intelligent attachment with our own body and the body-created relationship with its outer world-cannot be ended unless we come to control the body with our mental stature. So also, mind cannot be controlled unless we plan and execute our strategies from the intellect. The limitations experienced in and through the body, mind and intellect can be mastered if we could discover and establish our identity with the spiritual personality in us.


We Bharatheeyar do not know the value of the mind, and regulations: need training,  from the elementary school  level, if we want best future citizens!

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. Patel was against remarrying and instead raised his children with the help of his family. Patel’s health started declining in the summer of 1950. 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
