Sivananda Daily Reading for 10 September

SIVANANDA DAILY READING FOR 10 SEPTEMBER
SIVANANDA GITA – 3 (CONTINUED)

I love nature, music, art, poetry, philosophy, beauty, goodness,
solitude, meditation, yoga and vedanta.

I am humble and simple. I am frank and straightforward. I am
perfectly tolerant and catholic. I am merciful and sympathetic. I
have spontaneous and unrestrained generosity.

I am bold and cheerful. I am patient. I can bear insult and injury. I
am forgiving. I am free from vindictive nature. I return good for
evil. I serve that man who has injured me, with joy.

I love Ganga and the Himalayas. Ganga is my mother divine. Himalayas
is my father divine. They inspire and guide me. I take bath in Ganga.
I swim in Ganga. I adore Ganga. I feed the fishes of Ganga.

I wave light to Mother Ganges. I pray to Ganga. I do salutations to
Ganga. I sing the glory of Ganga. I write about the grandeur and
glory of Ganga.

Ganga has nourished me. Ganga has comforted me. Ganga has taught me
the truth of the Upanishads. Glory to Ganga!

M y daily routine is like that of Lord Buddha. I always remain in the
room. I do japa, kirtan and meditation. I study sacred books. I
write. I come out of the room for a short time for work, service and
interview.

I talk a little. I think much. I meditate much. I try to do much and
serve much.

I do not waste even a single minute. I ever keep myself fully
occupied. I lead a well-­regulated life. I perform worship of atman at
all times. I work for the good of others. Om. Om. Om.

Gita, Upanishads, Bhagavat, Yoga Vasishta, Avadhootha Gita,
Vivekachudamani are my constant companions.

I am a strange mixture of service, devotion, yoga and wisdom. I am a
follower of Sri Sankara. I am a Keval-Advaita vedantin. I am not at
all a dry lip-­vedantin. I am a practical vedantin.

I practise and advocate the yoga of synthesis. I practise ahimsa,
satyam and brahmacarya. Glory to Sri Sankara!
