Man toils and moils for feeding his belly.He sweats and struggles for education but fails to be happy.Why should humans be steeped in sorrow like this?Would not the Lord help if only you pray sincerely?
Embodiments of Love!
Truth, righteousness, peace, and love constitute the foundation of the scriptures, the essence of all religions, the destination of all paths, and the essence of all essences.
Man indulges in finding fault with others, oblivious to his own flaws. The cause for this can be traced to his materialistic tendencies. Man is made of Atma (Self) and anatma (non-self), shariram (body) and shariri (embodied one), kshetra (field) and kshetrajna (knower of the field), and sthira (permanent) and asthira (ephemeral). You cannot find anything else in this Universe except these dualities.
The entire world is a play of the pravritti and the nivritti, the outward and inward. Body (kshetra) and matter belong to the realm of pravritti whereas Atma, consciousness, the embodied one, be...
There is no disease greater than greed, One's anger is his greatest enemy, There is no sorrow deeper than poverty, There is no greater peace than wisdom.
Embodiments of Love!
Love, aham, Atma, I - these are all synonyms of the same entity. Every person commonly uses the word 'I'. It means he is revealing his true identity of being the Atma. Sarvam khalvidam Brahma (This entire creation is Divinity). Whatever you hear, see, or experience is all Brahma alone. Brahma is yet another synonym for 'I'.
Einstein once said, "There is no matter in creation, it is all energy and energy has no form". He discovered this truth in this age, after a number of investigations. A few thousands of years prior to this, the seven-year-old Prahlada came to the same conclusion with out any kind of experimentations. He stated, "It isn't possible to decide that God is present here and not present there. He is everywhere, and there can be no doubt about it. You can find Him wherever you search for Him".

Whatever you hear, see or experience is all Brahma alone. Brahma is yet another synonym for ‘I’. Einstein once said, “The entire creation is permeated with energy and energy has no form”. He discovered this truth in this age, after strenuous investigations. A few thousands of years earlier, the seven-year-old Prahlada came to the same conclusion without any experimentation.

Without Truth, Righteousness, Love, and Peace The efficacy of all charity is nil.Without Truth, Righteousness, Love, and Peace The fruit of all positions is nil.For the eternal heritage that is standing today, These four qualities are the foundations.What more can I say to you, Students endowed with virtuous qualities?
Is it possible to decide that this is good and that is bad in this Creation?Both that and this have been made by the same God.Who has realised this principle today?

In the world today, you find only clashes and agitations. Feelings of equality and brotherhood are totally absent. Starting from the individual right up to the country, agitation, clashes, and feelings of diversity are rampant. Clash between individuals, agitation between houses, fights between families, villages, differences of opinions between districts, conflicting ideas between states - these have become the order of the day. What is the cause for this? It is the craze for power and position,...

All the names and forms are but the manifestations of the Supreme Being who is the embodiment of peace and auspiciousness. He is Existence-Knowledge-Bliss Absolute and non-dual. He is Sathyam, Sivam, Sundaram (Truth, Goodness, Beauty).(Sanskrit Verse)
Embodiments of Love!
MAN makes frantic efforts to attain happiness. He reads scriptures, visits noble souls, undertakes spiritual pursuits and searches everywhere in the outer world to find happiness. But he fails to find happiness anywhere.
Buddha too made similar efforts to find the source of happiness. He searched everywhere and at last found that happiness was within him and not in the outer world. He realized that he himself was the embodiment of Ananda (bliss). The ephemeral happiness derived through the senses is not true happiness at all.

I am neither the merit nor the sin, neither the pleasure nor pain.I am not the holy hymn, nor the fruits of pilgrimage, charity, and sacrifices.I am neither the food nor the body formed out of the essence of the food.I am the embodiment of Sath-chith-ananda - Truth, Beauty and Auspiciousness.Fear of sin has disappeared and atrocious acts are on the ascent.Devotion towards God has dwindled and has been replaced by evil activities.Rare indeed it is to come across someone chanting the name of the Saviour of the pious.O mind! Chant the name of God and derive endless peace.
Students, Embodiments of Love,
Man has been taken over by an overpowering desire to investigate and conquer Nature. To this end, he has relied upon his physical prowess, intellectual capacity, power of position, and strength of sheer numbers. What has he achieved in the process? Without God’s grace and support, he cannot taste even an iota of success. It is only when God condescends that a person can attain victory i...
None can estimate or comprehend the power of Divinity. Yet, there are enough people who criticize God! Divinity remains unaffected by praise or censure. Praise cannot enhance it nor criticisms diminish it. Divinity does not aspire for praise or publicity. Thousands of students have passed out of this University, having obtained an education totally free of cost. But we have never advertised this fact. The joy of the students is all that gives me enough pleasure. In the Ramayana, Bharatha resided at Nandigrama, lost in the contemplation of Rama. Laksmana was away serving Rama and Sita. Satrugna governed the kingdom during those 14 years. Though Bharatha was Rama's representative, it was Satrugna who carried out the day-to-day administration of the kingdom. He strove from dawn to dusk to solve problems. He guarded its boundaries and kept the kingdom safe and secure. He was so totally dedicated to Bharatha's service that he would never report to Bharatha for the fear of disturbing his me...
True education is that which facilitates universal peace, which destroys any scope for mean thoughts to germinate, and which fosters unity and co-operation. A true student must acquire such an education
The sacred story of Rama is ageless. It does not satiate one's heart even after one listens to it any number of times. He who sings, hears, or narrates this sacred story is indeed blessed. Mother earth has enormous powers hidden in her depths. There has not been any investigation that has succeeded in probing this secret. Sita is the daughter of mother earth. At the time of the swayamvara, mother earth saw that among all the princes and kings gathered for Sita's hand, Rama was the most ideal. Hence, even nature helped Rama when he lifted the sacred bow of Siva and broke it. Rama is depicted as lifting the bow with his left hand, which is normally weaker than the right hand. This is just to show to the world that there is nothing called a difficult or impossible task for the Divinity. M...
He whose heart is filled with compassion, whose words are steeped in Truth, and whose body is engaged in service to others will never be affected by the influence of the Kali age
Just before Ravana shed his mortal coils, several sages, scholars, and good men gathered and asked him, "O Ravana! In your life you have done several deeds that were both good and bad. What did you consider to be the greatest lesson that you have learnt?" Ravana replied, "O Sirs! He who wishes to enter into any noble task that can cause only good to others should never entertain any delay. The instant such pious thoughts are born in the heart, they should be executed. I too had such idealistic thoughts - that I would build a bridge linking earth with heaven, that I would sweeten the saline waters of the oceans around Lanka and distribute it to people, and that I would provide succor and relief to all those poor souls suffering in hell. I delayed, and I could never do it because my evil overtook me. You must ...
Man's speech earns him wealth; his speech helps him find friends and endears him to his relatives; his speech is responsible for his bondage; his speech is responsible for his death and destruction.
Words carry enormous weight. It is therefore essential that man weigh his words carefully, discriminate thoroughly, and only then speak. Every man has sacredness inherent in his words. He should not misuse them to hurt others or cause harm to himself either. The Ramayana is a storehouse of sacred words that are as sweet as honey - nectarine, fragrant, and profound. Rama is an ideal example of a character in the Ramayana who always used sweet words. He always spoke with restraint and used pleasing words. Before exercising one's speech, a great deal of vision and foresight is essential. In the thick of battle, Kaikeyi had lent great help to Dasaratha. Pleased, Dasaratha, without discrimination, gave her his word to satisfy any two of her wishes. The agony that resulted was a direct con...
