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.”(Sanskrit Verse)
God Permeates the Universe
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 BrahmaThe entire creation is Divinity.
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. He stated, “It is not possible to decide that G...

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".

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...
Today, it is rare to find children who revere their fathers or fathers who care for their children. The teacher-student relation is deplorable and tainted without any respect being exchanged. Parents at home don't know how to set ideals for their children. Brothers don't care to stay united, and children don't bother to maintain the family's honour. Husbands and wives lack understanding and are unable to set examples to the society in which they stay. Honour and respect are ignored and too much freedom is given to all. The problem begins at the home, which is the first school of a child. The parents are the first teachers. They should teach their children how to respect elders, speak the truth, follow righteousness, respect the teachers, and interact with other children at the school. The discipline of the school must be followed. Only such an exercise can generate ideal students. In the days of yore, students would arise as the cock crowed at dawn. After their ablutions bath, meals ...
One can regain or recover lost money, friends, lands and prosperity by the dint of one's efforts. A man may also get remarried if he has lost a wife. However, the human body, once lost, cannot be regained. It cannot be protected eternally. Hence, one must attain and experience life's goals while the body lasts. India is a land that is the birthplace of all ideals, sciences, and arts. Numerology, grammar, arts, literature - they all had their origins in India. In fact, "that which is not available in India is not available elsewhere (Yenna Bharathe, thanna Bharata)." It is a land that gave birth to noble souls like Savitri, who, by her spiritual powers, could even get her dead husband back alive; Sita, who made even the fire bend before her purity; and Damayanti, who burnt to death the evil hunter who misbehaved with her. Sadly, there is an exodus from this land today. What is lacking here is not the wealth or knowledge; it is determination. If only one is determined, one can achieve...
Indian culture is eternal. It is unshakeable by time, untarnished by history. The youth, in particular the students, have forgotten this great culture today and are hence being subjected to all kinds of agitations and turbulences in life. They have lost their peace and are unable to experience bliss; in contrast, ancient Indians were steeped in our culture and therefore lived in bliss by sharing their joy among themselves. There are several examples of people who understood the importance of culture in moulding their lives. Abraham Lincoln, the late president of America, is one such. His childhood was spent in poverty, as a consequence of which he was often subjected to ridicule. Many a time he would be miserable at his sorry state, but his mother always gave him courage. She once told him that though they had very little by way of material opulence, they had abundance of self-confidence and self-respect. Riches are bound to melt away, but these two attributes are one's own and none ca...
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...
