Dear Friends,

Here is your issue of Uttishthata Groupzine for the month of April 2007.

The contents this issue with few excerpts are:

1. Swami Vivekananda on Himself: Discipleship

“Have you seen God, sir?”

“Yes, I see Him just as I see you here, only in a much intenser sense.”

“God can be realized,” he went on; “one can see and talk to Him as I am seeing and talking to you. But who cares? People shed torrents of tears for their wife and children, for wealth or property, but who does so for the sake of God? If one weeps sincerely for Him, He surely manifests Himself.”

2. Overcoming Negative ideas: by Swami Bodhamayananda

Disciplinary exercises for the youth: of the body, of breathing, of speech, of thoughts, of one’s inner nature…

“Man is Man so long as he is struggling to rise above nature and this nature is both internal and external.” – Swami Vivekananda
