1 1 New Year Pongal Makara Sankranti Study Circle Ladies Group Chinese New year When chanting of the Name is done in community singing, it should be in the form in which the entire group can participate easily. The tune, the rhythm, etc. should be such that all can follow the Bhajan. Bhajan thus sung permeates the ether in the form of sound waves and fills the entire atmosphere, thereby the whole atmosphere gets purified. Breathing in this purified atmosphere, our hearts get purified. Discourse Topic: Spiritual

2 The end of knowledge is wisdom, the end of culture is perfection, the end of wisdom is freedom, the end of education is character. And character consists of eagerness to renounce one s selfish greed Study Circle Ladies Group 20 Family Day Maha Shivaratri 25 9:00 pm 12:30 am What the head thinks, it should be examined critically in the heart and this right decision should be carried out by the hands.

7 Amongst the qualities that are needed to realise your Divinity, the foremost is Kshama, forbearance or forgiveness. It is essential for every human being. It is supreme amongst virtues.

Purity of mind requires total elimination of attachments and aversions from the mind.

It is subject to all kinds of disease and injury. Yet the body is a boat on which alone we can cross the ocean of the objective world (samsara). The boat has to be kept trim and serviceable. It should not distract our attention more than the minimum necessary for its upkeep. It has to be used for reducing the burden of others and should not itself become a burden on us. It should serve others and not demand service from them. Discourse Topic: Ladies
