Guru Maharaj has asked all of us to very > earnestly work for Peace in this New Millennium. He expounded on the > dire need for Peace during two of his discourses and it was the main > theme in his final discourse at the conference. Guru Maharaj said that > nothing successful can be undertaken unless Peace prevails. Please visit > the website of the Peace Council of which Guru Maharaj is a member and > extend all the help that you can. The website of the Peace Council is: > http://www.peacecouncil.org/ > > During the conference many books and booklets were released. One among > them is a reprint of the popular Sivananda Daily Readings which was > compiled by Sri Swami Venkatesanandaji and had been out of print for a > long time. Another is a new book by Guru Maharaj titled Awake! Realise > Your Divinity. This publication is the follow up to the two other widely > acclaimed volumes of Guru Maharaj's early morning meditation talks, i.e. > Ponder These Truths and A Call to Liberation. The talks in the new book > were given by Guru Maharaj on sacred days of worship. Another book, > Chidananda Hoon, which was released on October 20th, 1999 was also > available.

A glorious and brilliant future is awaiting you." - > Swami Sivananda > > > -------------------- > Sivananda Day-to-Day is sent out weekly. > To or to this e-mailing list, > please send a message to pannir > -------------------- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
