The ashram of infinite gyaan

Swami Aravindananda was a great saint of 21st century, born on March 18th 1987. He had his early schooling in a good for nothing school and later moved to a better school which was not even good for,"good for

nothing". From there he moved to a college where he attained his self realization in the final year during the seventh semester exams. He then went to England, where he raised

funds to set up his ashram on the banks of a river.

The ashram is known as the "The Ashram of infinite gyaan"

The symbol of the infinite movement as it is known is the number 8 made to lie down. Thats because guruji as(s) he is affectionately called by his shishyaas, wanted the whole

world not to stand up to the injustice meted out by themselves but to lie down. Here are some of the quotes by guruji.


Praise the almighty for not what you are, not for what you were, and not even for what you will be, but for what you are not, as seeking to know the unknown completes the life

cycle.


Cycle when peddaled moves forward, but stop pedalling and try peddaling it in the opposite direction, still it moves forward. This is also true about life. Once you leave your

words out of your mouth, you can never take it back. So better remain dumb.

There can always be bigger and better fishes in the sea, but remember, you dont even know to net out the fishes to change the water in the fish tank. So be happy with what you

have.

The more you love something, means the more you will miss it when it's lost. Everyone loves to be sane. But they will not miss it once they are insane. This is the truth of

life. So, go ahead with your life and don't stop loving what you want.


Go to temple everyday. That is where you not only get to see good people, but also good footwear(by swami hariharaananda)

Don't get pampered by the luxuries that life offers as you are eyed by the FORCE for a bigger test of endurance. SO, I hereby propose a practice test of endurance. Every

morning, once you get out of the bed, try doing nothing. I mean absolutely nothing atleast for half an hour. Try it once and you will know the power of this test.

When you are in orkut or google, you say, you are orkutting or googling. Why don't you say you are flickering, facebooking, picasaaing? That's because you seek to follow some

fool who has started these terminologies. But you cant follow yourself. So, better follow others.

Grab the oppertunities which life provides. If you try grabbing one, you will come to know that it leads to many others. Then you will feel put down by life as you do nothing

else than grabbing oppertunities. So better avoid it. But grabbing other people's oppertunities will leave you with a choice of either choosing to continue or quitting. At the

same time, you are saving the other person from the milieu of wasting his life grabbing oppertunities.

To be continued....

Swamiji as(s) he is affectionaltely called by all, has planned to start a news letter on various topics.. which will be updated in the subsequent posts.
