Blessing Swamiji was a master of capturing profound spiritual truths in simple language, which the seeker could easily understand. He had Vak Siddhi, the mastery of human vocal expression. He could speak for hours, even days, without exhausting either himself or his listener.In fact both speaker and listener would be exhilerated with the exchange. His lectures were always a true Satsangha.Yet Swamiji was the quietest man I knew. He could go days, weeks, without uttering a word, if occasion demanded it, or if he had taken a Mauna Vratam, vow of silence.Every word word he uttered was packed with the power of an awakened consciousness. consciousness. His words had the ability to lift his disciples to higher realms of thought. His vibrant resonant voice needed no microphone. He could speak to thousands without a microphone. His words penetrated every cell, and once they entered the ear of the listener, they were part of his living spirit forever.To forever .To quote the Bible, “He spoke as one vii
with authority, and not as a scribe.” Swamiji had “trodden stars” (as he once wrote in a poem), and his words radiated the high reaches of a realized soul. A disciple of Swamiji who has been his student since the early 1980s,Yogacharya Dr. Alan Davis has taken upon himself to compile many wonderful examples of wisdom of Swamiji's from various sources, particularly the Ashram's magazine Yoga Life. Swamiji was always partial to medical doctors and military men (since he himself was amongst those elite groups) and Dr.Alan Davis and his wife Yogacharini Cathy were dear to him. Dr. Alan came to Swamiji as a young doctor along with his wife Cathy, a nurse as well as midwife, with their newly born baby daughter. They were students of the Six Month International Yoga Teacher Training Course under Swamiji at Ananda Ashram when it was at Sri KambaliswamyMadam KambaliswamyMad am in the early 1980's. Cathy has since served many years as an Assistant Acharya (teacher) for that Course at the International Centre for Yoga Education and Research (ICYER). The family often hosts Dr. Ananda whenever he travels to United Kingdom where they live. Dr. Alan's work is a labour of love, a true Nishkama Karma Yoga. Some editing and filling out of the quotations have viii
been done by me to put the wisdom into better context. Since I have been Swamiji's personal secretary, editor and publisher since 1967, relying on my training as a professional journalist, I know Swamiji would appreciate my “filling small gaps” as he always encouraged encouraged me to do in his lifetime. The book is thus a working partnership amongst three of us. Dr.Alan, Dr. Ananda Balayogi Bhavanani and myself. We all feel this small volume will have an enlightening effect on all who seek the higher life! We hope that through our efforts all those unfortunate enough to miss the opportunity to hear the Lion of Pondicherry roar his words of truth, will be inspired and uplifted by our humble offering and have a “Darshan” (sacred viewing) of Swamiji's great soul. May the readers, through this small book , feel that at least in some measure, that they have had the opportunity of reading his written words, and receive his blessings.

Forward Yogamaharishi Yogamaharishi Dr. Swami Gitananda Giri Guru Maharaj is truly one of the most astounding human beings to have graced this planet in the last century. His contribution to the growth and development of Yoga in modern times is significant and it reenergised the true spirit of Yoga worldwide. Every one of his students considers it their greatest blessing to be able to live a life of Yoga as envisioned by his teachings. Each and every one of their lives has been transformed and their spiritual evolution enhanced by his life and teachings. He created leaders and not mere followers, each one of them shining brightly, dispelling the darkness of ignorance wherever they are. Swamiji continues contin ues to live on through us when we live these teachings and it is for this very purpose that this book has come alive through the love and care of one of his dear students, Yogacharya Dr. Alan Davis. Dr. Alan and his Dharmapatni Yogacharini Cathy Davis have been all time xi
favourites of Swamiji, Ammaji and our whole Gitananda Yoga family. Hence it is indeed befitting that such a compilation of inspirational thoughts from Swamiji should come back to us through the Yoga Seva of Dr. Alan Davis who brings these teachings once again to the forefront foref ront of our consciousness consciousness through this compilation. This book aims to enable the reader to understand this grand unified perspective, the “Yoga Dristhi” of the Maharishi that may be best defined in Swamiji's own words thus : “Yoga Dristhi implies a Unified Perception which encompasses all aspects of evolutionary life on this plan pl anet et,, and an d not no t just ju st perc pe rcep epti tion onss base ba sed d on information fed to us through our sensual organs…Perception also involves right knowledge, intuitive insight and proper judgement to qualify under Yoga Dristhi.”
May this book stimulate stimulat e us all to delve deeper in to our Yoga Sadhana thus enabling us to grow and glow with the true eternal spirit of Yoga, the Mother of all Sciences. Yogacharya Dr. Ananda Balayogi Bhavanani
Chairman and Hereditary Trustee, ICYER at Ananda Ashram, Pondicherry, India. xii

ntroduction Introduction
Some modern systems rely on textbooks and a written tradition for their authority. Yet Yoga was never a written tradition, rather an oral tradition handed down from the Yoga Rishi to his disciple, who then perfected the physical-emotional-mental techniques for worldly well being and the higher Adyatmika Yoga techniques for spiritual development.
Dr Swami Gitananda, Yoga Life, March 1981
A
nyone privileged enough to have received Dr Swami Gitananda's teachings in person will confirm that he was indeed a true master of delivering the message of Yoga in this oral tradition. Over many years, students on the sixmonth course at Ananda Ashram have been astonished by the inexhaustible energy and wisdom of a man who, even into his ninth decade, not only taught Hatha Yoga and Pranayama techniques but also sustained his impassioned discourse on the message of true Yoga from five o'clock in the morning to nine at night.
But Swamiji was a great communicator in other ways too. The Yoga Yoga:: Step Step by Step Step Co Corr rres espo pond nden ence ce Course Course is a comprehensive and unparalleled manual on the subject. Yoga Life continues to be published monthly and distributed worldwide after more than forty-five years. Swamiji was the author of books on 3
numerous aspects of Yoga, from Pranayama to Mudras, to Siddhis and Riddhis. His grasp of all of these subjects was phenomenal. We are blessed that his teaching continues to be delivered, undiluted, by Meenakshi Devi Bhavanani and their son Dr Ananda Balayogi Bhavanani. The family is devoted to making the words and actions of Gitananda Yoga available to all who wish to pursue them, and with no less energy and dedication than Swamiji himself. Since his Samadhi in December 29, 1993, Ammaji and Dr Ananda have continued to reproduce Swamiji's written works in Yoga Life. However, I am not aware that any compilation of brief extracts from his teachings has yet been put together. Without wishing to reduce his encyclopaedic oeuvre to a series of sound-bites, the following is simply and humbly presented as an appetiser to introduce those relatively new to Gitananda Yoga to get a feel for the vibrant Yoga Dristhi or view which Swamiji proclaimed. In addition I hope that it gives those fortunate enough (and old enough!) to have encountered “The Lion of Pondicherry” in person, a fond reminder of his boundless wisdom and indomitable presence. The collection is, inevitably, arbitrary and far from comprehensive, and taken mainly from his Yoga Life articles. The dates are given (some are reprinted after his Samadhi) to enable readers to refer to the original article. Any minor explanatory additions to the original texts have been made by none other than Rishipatni Meenakshi Devi. Hari Om Tat Sat Dr. Alan Davis Cornwall, UK 4

Nurture your Yoga
Y
our Yoga must also be carefully nurtured on a daily, hourly basis. It will daily,
simply go away if it is not properly tended or maintained. Yoga Sadhana is like a wife, a husband, or a garden. If you don't take care of it, it simply goes away. Be aware. Yoga will never fail you. It is always there. But you may fail it. You may fall away from it.
You may neglect it and lose it.

Conscious Living
A
ccepting the Law of Karma doesn't wipe out the past, it has to be worked out in has
conscious living. The idea that simply feeling sorry or feeling remorse for mistakes, evil thoughts, words or deeds, sins, lapses etc which we have done will free us from the effects of our deeds is a nonsensical concept devised by immature minds which cannot face the reality of irrevocable Universal laws.
154
October 1992
Who Am I? The Eternal Question! Question!
T
he All, the Cosmos, the Universe, is unfathomable, beyond our comprehension,
but we can tune into that one grand Cosmic anthem emanating out of the I AM. Aham, the Asmara, [the ego] completely destroys those areas of the brain and brain function associated with Universal Thinking, leaving the brain and nervous system filled with the only real disease of human kind: delusions, divisions, conflicts and confusions caused by the ego-mind.

The Art of Release
D
irt can be easily swept away if it is cleaned up as soon as it is noticed. But if
it is allowed to accumulate for years on end it will be very difficult indeed to remove. This is also true of tension. Learn to be aware of physical, mental and emotional tension as soon as it arises - then, release it.
156
February 1993
Prana - The Cosmic Catalyst
S
timulation of this higher
Prana by proper Pranayama activates the two pre-frontal
lobes of the brain. The pre-frontal lobes of the brain are virtually dormant in most humans today and by default we are more animal-like than human. Divinising the prefrontal brain produces that great human being - Homo Deus, the God Man we are meant to be.
157
February 1993
Self Is A Prison
W
e all live in a Universe of our own making. The more self-centred we
are, the smaller our world, and the more unhappy we will be. We create our own prison. Our “self” becomes our “cell.”
158
February 1993
The Test of Goodness is Opposition Q - Since taking to the spiritual path, I feel harassed by people around me. I have in no way harmed them. But it would appear they would like to harm me. Why?
I
t would seem from ancient times that the very moment anyone tries to be good that the
opposite negative forces are released in others…I believe the answer is simply that sometimes it is necessary to have opposition to test the strength of one's virtue…simply go on doing what you are doing with a clear mind and a clear conscience. When there is no retaliation or resistance on your part the contrary action will rebound upon its source.

Expression Creates Duality
U
nfortunately once a thought is expressed vocally it becomes false.
The word contains within it the necessity of duality. It is the spoken word which is the straight line drawn down the middle of a blank piece of paper, which suddenly divides the wholeness into two-ness. If we say “light” it implies the existence of darkness. If we say “up” it implies impli es the existence of down. Thus, to avoid the trap of duality it is best to keep silence.

Miracles in Yoga Yoga
T
o the conscious mind of a
Yogi, the only miracle or mystery that he sees is that
man is sick at all when “wellness” is his heritage. Those who look for miracles in a kind of alchemy which will make gold out of straw miss the real Yogic alchemy or miracle, which is to turn the crude substance of mortal existence into the refined, golden splendour of an active Inner Life.

The Great Cosmic Sound and the Human Breath
T
he Yogi is a deep sea diver. He/she delves into the ocean of consciousness to discover
the pearls of Cosmic Realisation embedded there! A deep sea diver requires oxygen to sustain this quest, and great breath control to succeed in this endeavour. So also the Yogi must cultivate exquisite breath awareness and control to succeed in his explorations of the deep levels of awareness. …When properly done the Pranava is consciously carried through the Shat (six) Chakras in Pinda (the lower body), which represents the five spinal centres and the cavernous plexus, the Ajna Chakra associated 176
The Last And
Final Lesson by Meenakshi Devi Bhavanani
Yogacharya
Dr. Alan Davis
Biographical Note Alan qualified in Medicine from University University of Bristol, England, in 1974, and had a full-time medical career, mainly in General Practice, in England, Scotland and Canada until his retirement in 2011. In 1980 he completed the six month Yoga Training course at Ananda Ashram along with his wife Yogacharini Cathy Davis and their baby daughter Alice Sushila. At that time almost every class on the course was taken by Dr Swami Gitananda himself. Although the demands of of family and career distanced him from the Yoga path for some years, he bears witness to Swamiji's teaching teach ing that those who have been exposed to the message of his Rishiculture Yoga forever find that this is “deeply imprinted in their cells, whether they like it or not!” Indeed this was reinforced by the fact that on the very day of his retirement from medicine medici ne he and Cathy were priviliged 261
to host Dr Ananda on one of his British tours and attend a class of his that same evening. He has since revisited the Ashram in 2012 to further his Sadhana, and during that stay Cathy and he were blessed by a Sashtiaapdapoorthi Sashtiaapdapoorthi ceremony, as pictured here.
