A message for your week ahead 1st, April 1944 Beloved Ram, In Prem, the heart is softened more markedly.... Prem is the abode of all bliss. It is the one thing needed. It is the culmination of Bhakti. The lane of Prem is extremely narrow indeed. It cannot contain two. Where there is "I", the Lord is not Where there is the Lord, this "I" ceases to be. May you abide in Prem, Sivananda See more

Om Namo Bhagavate Vasudevaya Krishna is derived from Krish which means "to scrape". He scrapes all the sins, evils, and the causes of evil from the hearts of His devotees. Therefore He is called Krishna~ commentary by Swami Sivananda on The Bhagavad Gita 6:34 #DidYouKnow.#readthescriptures,#BhagavatGita,#yogaeveryblessedday

Wishing you a blessed week ahead It is common thinking throughout the world to make a division between the spiritual life and the secular life. But if all is one, if God alone is, then perhaps the purpose of our spiritual life is to recognise that there is no such thing as secular life, that all life is spiritual. It is a question of where our consciousness is. ... The purpose of our spiritual practices is to raise our consciousness to a point where we recognise the fact that all life is divine.~Sri Swami Atmaswarupananda #practicalyoga.#yogaeveryblessedday,#hathayoga,#sivananda
