Does the Supreme Have any wish or desire

God has created man only for love – „ekaaki ne ramate.“ (Cannot delight being all alone). Thererfore manifestation of love can only take place in human beings. Of all the species in this world, only human beings are capable of saying „you are mine and I am yours“ or „there is you and you alone“ (Tu hi Tu). The reason is that God has created this world for all beings, but he has created man for Himself.

It’s the Thought That Counts by Clay Harrison

Often in times of trouble we

When T.K. Sundaresa Iyer was a boy of twelve he first visited the Maharshi on the Hill in 1908. That first meeting bonded him to Bhagavan for the remainder of his life and, consequently, he was a witness to many marvelous events in his Guru’s presence. Here is one such incident on a holy Sivaratri night in Sri Ramanasramam, as recorded in his book, At the Feet of Bhagavan.

May I enquire how the power of concentration increases?

two hours daily, by remaining in seclusion in a quiet room for one or two hours daily, by
practicing Pranayam, by prayer, by increasing the number of sittings in meditation in the evening
and at night, by Vichar, etc.

From „May I answer that“ by Swami Sivananda (1987-1963). More Informations on… http://bit.ly/bOfnig
