SivanandaMoral values, and a culture and a religion, maintaining these values are far better than laws and regulations.
SivanandaA purified mind can grasp anything. It can dive deep into the subtlest subject and understand even transcendental things.
SivanandaIndividual Peace paves the way for world peace. The attainment of inner calm is the greatest work you can do for humanity.
SivanandaCultivate peace first in the garden of your heart by removing the weeds of lust, hatred, greed, selfishness, and jealousy. Then only you can manifest it externally. Then only, those who come in contact with you, will be benefited by your vibrations of peace and harmony.
SivanandaMoney can help you to get medicines but not health. Money can help you to get soft pillows, but not sound sleep. Money can help you to get material comforts, but not eternal bliss. Money can help you to get ornaments, but not beauty. Money will help you to get an electric earphone, but not natural hearing. Attain the supreme wealth, wisdom; you will have everything.
