Om Namo Bhagavate Sivanandaya!

Om Namo Bhagavate Chidanandaya!

Namaste!

 

Last week I wasn't clear on the form of payment to be sent to The Divine

Life Society in response to Swami Chidanandaji's appeal for help for

victims of the cyclone in Orissa (refer to:

http://www.SivanandaDlshq.org/branches/chs.htm#urgent). Hence I

reproduce below a more detailed description of the form of payments

acceptable to the Ashram:

 

The donations may be sent by British Postal Order or US Postal Order,

crossed and endorsed to 'The Divine Life Society', or by International

Postal Money Order, or Bank Draft. Please do not send cash, local

currencies or personal cheques.

 

We have uploaded several articles on religions of the world and an

article on the life of Tibet's great Yogi, Milarepa, by Gurudev Sri

Swami Sivanandaji Maharaj. The articles are:

 

Zoroastrianism

In regards to helping feed the hungry in Orissa (and around the world)

devotees can also help provide a simple meal for a hungry person daily

by just clicking on the button at the websites listed below (on a daily

basis). This is a service paid for by corporate sponsors.

FOLLOW THE GOLDEN MEAN: At the night Satsang, Sri Franz Von Poncet, an

aspirant from South Africa, who had been staying at the Ashram for the

past five months, came to the Master to get some prasad from his hands.

 

He looked so lean that one could even count his ribs. He avoided taking

even the necessary food and meditated all the time.

 

Noticing his poor health the Master advised him, " Ohji, you must take

care of your health. You should eat well. Torturing the body is not

Yoga. You will become so weak that you will not be able to sit for

meditation. The Gita says that Yoga is not for one who eats too much nor

for one who does not eat at all. So do not go to extremes. Be moderate.

Follow the golden mean. Eat well. Do some exercise both morning and

evening. In no way is this going to obstruct your meditation. Asanas and

exercise, on the other hand, will help your meditation. "

" Great things have small beginnings. All growth is gradual. To be

perfectly unperturbed, by anything, in all circumstances, looking upon

all things as passing phenomena, ever feeling a distinct, silent witness

to all the experiences of life--these are the marks of a spiritual

aspirant. " - Swami Sivananda
