The tongue is the cause of truth and prosperity. The tongue also earns for us friends and relatives. It is the tongue that brings bondage and death.
Embodiments of Love!
The words of man earn him wealth and riches. The words of man cause bondage. Hence, words are cause for good and evil. It is better to speak every word only after due rumination and reflection. Words help us a lot in life.
The power of words
Man should use his words with utmost care and caution. It is important that we should use words after weighing pros and cons. We should not be hurt, nor should we hurt others. Words give life and take away life.
Words are dainty delicacies. Words are aromatic fragrance. Words are the essence of nectar. Words are sweet honeybees.
The words uttered by Rama were sweet and delicious. Words should be pleasant, and they should be used in moderation. Words were the cause of Rama's exile into the forest, Kaika's infamy, and Dasaratha's death. Since words contai...
That indeed is true spiritual education which secures universal peace,dispels narrow-mindedness, and fosters unity, harmony, and co-operation.
Students, Embodiments of Love!
It is the foremost duty of every student to transform every activity of his life into one of strength and beauty. But unfortunately, the education system of today fails to nourish the qualities of wholesomeness, unity and love, which are the hallmarks of true education. Students should realise that their life span is fast melting away like ice, whether they care to improve or not.
Students of today are blind to the goal of life. Some students do not even feel the pain of not knowing the purpose of life. Only one in a million or one in a crore (ten million) strives to realise the essence of life. This striving is the steppingstone for the realisation of the purpose of life. Many students and men feel that the acquisition of food, clothing, shelter, wealth, conveniences, and comforts constitute the very purpose of ...

May all be healthy, happy and prosperous!May all lead a life without sorrow!(Sanskrit Verse)
Embodiments of Love!
THE Bharathiyas pray for the welfare and well-being of all the people of the world. This is the foremost principle of Bharathiya culture. The culture of Bharath is eternal, everlasting and steadfast. Its glory has remained undiminished through the ravages of time. The students today have forgotten this sacred culture and are consequently facing great problems. They are distancing themselves from peace and bliss. The Bharathiyas of yore experienced bliss and shared it with others. Even the people of other countries recognized the greatness of Bharathiya culture and tried to follow the same for the benefit of their respective countries.
Truth and Self-confidence are the Keys to Success in Life

He who has ego is not loved by anyone; He who has anger ceases to discriminate; He who has excessive desires cannot control his mind; He who has greed cannot taste happiness.
Embodiments of Love!
As long as man has ego, nobody will love him. Even his own wife and children will shun him. When anger erupts in man, he ceases to be happy. Excessive desires make him lose control over his mind. The day man distances himself from greed, he will enjoy happiness.
Today's discussion on the Ramayana will be liked very much by the ladies. Rama and Lakshmana, along with Viswamitra, reached Mithila. After Rama broke Lord Siva's bow, Janaka sent an invitation to Dasaratha to come to Mithila. This meant that Rama and Lakshmana had four days at their disposal. When only one day was left for the arrival of their parents and brothers, Lakshmana approached Sage Viswamitra and said, "Master, my parents and brothers will be arriving tomorrow. If you permit, on this last remaining day, we would like to s...

(If money is lost, one need not be worried about it, for one can earn it again.If a friend is lost, one can have another. If wife is lost, one can marry again.If one loses one’s piece of land, one can purchase another.All these can be regained. But if the body is lost, one cannot get it back.)(Sanskrit Verse)
ONE may lose one’s wealth but it can still be earned back; one may lose friends but better ones can be befriended later; one may lose one’s wife but remarriage is still possible; one may lose land and property; but these also can be regained. All these can be recovered somehow or the other but the body once lost, the same body can never be regained. One can have the experience of bliss so long as the body exists. So, one should make every effort to experience bliss while the body lasts. Our ancients made relentless efforts to protect and safeguard their bodies so as to e...

THE Atma is present in the body of each human. One who realizes and lives out the truth that the two – the Atma which is everywhere and the Atma within himself – are one and the same, is a real spiritual practitioner. Whoever he may be – a householder, a recluse, a renunciant or a celibate, when he realizes the truth that the divinity in humanity is one, God shall always be with him and protect him. Bharath is a holy land. The wind that blows here has truth in it; the dust that rises is pervaded with righteousness; the waters that flow are suffused with love. Every individual born in this land has the quality of forbearance. A country having such sacred being, aims, wisdom and stature is not to be found all over the world. That is why the ancestors saluted this land by acclaiming justice, embracing honesty and enthroning righteousness. But the state of affairs in Bharath today are bizarre in contrast with the sanctity it had enjoyed in the past. Even toda...
The name Rama is sweeter than sugar and the best of honey.It is more tasteful than curd too.As you go on repeating the name of Rama, it tastes like nectar itself.Hence, repeat the name of Rama with all your heart, with utter sincerity.
The Ramayana has been described as the story of Rama, the ideal man. In fact every human, in a way, is Rama Himself, when he embodies the ideals of Rama. Hence, it is imperative on the part of every individual to cultivate the ideals of Rama. The Ramayana enshrines in itself the very essence of the dharma (righteousness) of the individual, family, and society.
Though thousands of years have passed since the story of Rama was first written, the inner story of the Ramayana is being enacted every moment of our life. The Ramayana does not signify the story of Rama alone; for, the word ‘Rama’ signifies Sita as well. Rama means Sita, the daughter of the earth. Since the earth is a part of Nature (Prakruthi), every child born on this earth should try to c...
A tree can be fashioned without any twist and turn, A stone can be fashioned without any defect. Can we fashion the mind, without any defect? The word of Sai is the word of truth.
Embodiments of Love!
Our warden has asked me to talk about the three akashas (infinities). That which cannot be seen by the eye, that cannot be heard by the ear, and that cannot be expressed by words characterizes the realm of akasha. It cannot be comprehended by the mind either. The sun and the moon, the clouds and the stars belong to the realm of akasha. There are three akashas: bhutakasha, chittakasha, and chidakasha.
The bhutakasha envelops the visible and the invisible phenomenon. For example, some stars are visible in the sky; but there are many more that remain invisible. The distance between the earth and the sun is about nine crores and eleven lakh miles. The bhutakasha spreads over an extent that is impossible to calculate. The sun is a star ,and there are countless other stars scattered in the ...

Embodiments of Love!
THE society today is in utter need of Ramayana. We do not have children who respect their parents, nor do we have parents who have great affection for their children. We do not have disciples today who revere their preceptors; nor do we have preceptors who have great love for their disciples. We do not have homes where parents shine as role models for their children. We do not have homes where brothers live with mutual love and affection; nor do we have homes where wives and husbands shine as ideals to others by virtue of their mutual love and affection. Good manners and courtesies have vanished. The Ramayana stands as an ideal for the trouble-torn society of today in various fiel...
