"Yada yada hi dharmasya glanirbhavati Bharata
Abhyutthanam dharmasya tadatmanam srijamyaham.
Paritranaya sadhoonam vanasaya ca dushkritam
Dharma samsthapanarthaya sambhavami yuge yuge."
-The Holy Geeta
(chapter 4,Verses 7& 8)
(Meaning thereby :- Whenever there there is decline of
righteousness and rise of unrighteousness ,
O Bharata(Arjuna),I send forth myself.
For the protection ov the good,for the destruction of the
wicked and for the establishment ov the righteousness.
I come into being from age to age.)
"I have promises to keep before I leave
And miles to go before I sleep
And miles to go before I sleep."

Life
Calmness is the ideal state in which we should receive all life's
experiences. Nervousness is the opposite of calmness, and its
prevalence today makes it very nearly a world disease.
-Yogananda, Swami paramhansa
Only those who partake of the harmony within their souls know the harmony that
runs through nature. Whosoever lacks this inner harmony feels also a lack of
it in the world. The mind in chaos finds chaos all around. How can one know
what peace is like if he has never tasted it? But he who has inner peace can
abide in this state even in the midst of outer discord.
-Yogananda, Swami paramhansa
Happiness depends to some extent upon external conditions, but chiefly upon
mental attitudes.
-Yogananda, Swami paramhansa
"Good man is hard to find, good woman is even rarest."
"Where the vision is one year, cultivate flowers
Where the vision is ten years, cultivate trees
Where the vision is eternity, cultivate people."
"Try not to be a man of success but rather try
to be a man of value."
- Dabra,ash
"Study as if u were to live forever
Live as if u were to die tomorrow."
-Gandhi,mahatama
"There is no death,there shall be no death for those who move
onward, united in a spirit of undefeatable hope and courage."
"There is no birth, there is no death,
there is only the spirit seeking evolution in higher and higher
stages of life."(That is the history of India and that of Asia.)
-Naidu,sarojini
Essentially, conditions are neither good nor bad; they are always neutral,
seeming to be either depressing or encouraging because of the sad or bright
attitude of the mind of the individual concerned with them.
-Yogananda, Swami paramhansa
Change your thoughts if you wish to change your circumstances. Since you alone
are responsible for your thoughts, only you can change them. You will want to
change them when you realize that each thought creates according to its own
nature. Remember that the law works at all times and that you are always
demonstrating according to the kind of thoughts you habitually entertain.
Therefore, start now to think only those thoughts that will bring you health
and happiness.
-Yogananda, Swami paramhansa
We are what we think we are. The habitual inclination of our thoughts
determines our talents and abilities, and our personality. Thus, some think
they are writers or artists, industrious or lazy, and so on. What if you want
to be other than what you presently think you are? You may argue that others
have been born with the special talent you lack but desire to have. This is
true. But they had to cultivate the habit of that ability some time -- if not
in this life, then in a previous one. So whatever you want to be, start to
develop that pattern now. You can instill any trend in your consciousness
right now, provided you inject a strong thought in your mind; then your
actions and whole being will obey that thought.
-Yogananda, Swami paramhansa
One must never give up hope of becoming better. A person is old only when he
refuses to make the effort to change. That stagnant state is the only "old
age" I recognize. When a person says again and again, "I can't change; this is
the way I am," then I have to say, "All right, stay that way, since you have
made up your mind to be like that."
-Yogananda, Swami paramhansa
No matter what his present state, man can change for the better through
self-control, discipline, and following proper diet and health laws. Why do
you think you cannot change? Mental laziness is the secret cause of all
weakness.
-Yogananda, Swami paramhansa
The greatest of all happiness, next to divine happiness, is to be at peace
with one's immediate relations, those with whom one must live every day in the
year. When people try to handle the extremely complicated machinery of human
feelings without any training whatsoever, the consequent results are often
disastrous. Very few persons realize that most of our happiness lies in the
art of understanding the law of human behavior. That is why so many people are
often "in hot water" with their friends, and, worse yet, at constant war with
their own best beloved ones at home.
-Yogananda, Swami paramhansa
The basic law of right human behavior is self-reform....Whenever any trouble
occurs with our friends or dear ones, we should inwardly lay the blame on
ourselves for getting into an unpleasant situation and then try to get out of
it as fast and as graciously as we can. It is fruitless to increase the
trouble by loudly, unkindly, discourteously blaming others, even though we
find that they are to blame. We can teach quick-tempered dear ones to mend
their faults a hundred times better by setting a good example than we can by
harsh or self-righteous words.
-Yogananda, Swami paramhansa
There is no more liberating action than sincerely to give people kindness in
return for unkindness.
-Yogananda, Swami paramhansa
Every one of us is going to die someday, so there is no use in being afraid of
death. You don't feel miserable at the prospect of losing consciousness of
your body in sleep; you accept sleep as a state of freedom to look forward to.
So is death; it is a state of rest, a pension from this life. There is nothing
to fear. When death comes, laugh at it. Death is only an experience through
which you are meant to learn a great lesson: you cannot die.
-Yogananda, Swami paramhansa
The world as a whole has forgotten the real meaning of the word love. Love has
been so abused and crucified by man that very few people know what true love
is. Just as oil is present in every part of the olive, so love permeates every
part of creation. But to define love is very difficult, for the same reason
that words cannot fully describe the flavor of an orange. You have to taste
the fruit to know its flavor. So with love.
-Yogananda, Swami paramhansa
In the universal sense, love is the divine power of attraction in creation
that harmonizes, unites, binds together....Those who live in tune with the
attractive force of love achieve harmony with nature and their fellow beings,
and are attracted to blissful reunion with God.
-Yogananda, Swami paramhansa
"The mother's love is not given to us
to spoil us with indulgence,
but to soften our hearts,
that we may in turn
soften others with kindness."

"When you are good to others you are best to yourself."
-Dabra,ash

resent the thought and spirit of the age we live in. ..."

LOVE

Yet was I fathered by the starry sky."

"Love is the feeling of true happiness,
Love is the language that two hearts express.
Love is unselfish, understanding and kind,
For it sees with its heart and not with its mind."
