AtmaJyoti.org is a service of Atma Jyoti Ashram (Light of the Spirit Monastery), which is located in Cedar Crest, New Mexico, USA, presenting the path of meditation and practical spiritual life.
When visiting India in 2003 and 2005, members of Atma Jyoti Ashram filmed hours of video so that we could revive the memory of our visits more clearly. We found that whenever we pulled out our video camera that the innate actor in people would arise. We put together this musical montage of some of that footage both for our entertainment and for yours.The video is less than two minutes long.
The renowned Swami Sivananda (1887-1963) was the inspiration, example, and joy of his disciples. In the photo above, he and his disciple Swami Venkatesananda at right enjoy a joke together. Swami Sivananda was founder of Sivanandashram in Rishikesh, and the worldwide Divine Life Society. The website of the Divine Life Society is full of resources for spiritual aspirants, including free eBooks, photos, audio talks, and video clips.
"Come here every now and then. A brass pot must be polished every day: otherwise it gets stained. One should constantly live in the company of holiness."
