BlessingSwamiji 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

he uttered was packed with the power of an awakened

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 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 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 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.

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 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

Forward

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 of our

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

planet, and not just perceptions based 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 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.

Chairman and Hereditary Trustee,

ICYER at Ananda Ashram,

ntroductionIIntroduction

nyone privileged enough to

have received Dr Swami

Gitananda's teachings in Aperson 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 six-

month 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.

B u t S w a m i j i w a s a g r e a t

communicator in other ways too. The

Yoga: Step by Step Correspondence

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

Dr Swami Gitananda, Yoga Life, March 1981

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.

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.

Nurture your Yoga

our Yoga must also be

carefully nurtured on a Ydaily, hourly basis. It will

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.

September 1992

Conscious Living

ccepting the Law of Karma

doesn't wipe out the past, it Ahas to be worked out in

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!

he All, the Cosmos, the

Universe, is unfathomable, Tbeyond 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.

155

February 1993

The Art of Release

irt can be easily swept

away if it is cleaned up as Dsoon 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

timulation of this higher

Prana by proper Pranayama Sactivates 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 pre-

frontal brain produces that great

human being - Homo Deus, the God

Man we are meant to be.

157

February 1993

Self Is A Prison

e all live in a Universe of

our own making. The

more self-centred we Ware, 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 OppositionQ - Since taking to the spiritual path, I feelharassed by people around me. I have in noway harmed them. But it would appear theywould like to harm me. Why?

t would seem from ancient

times that the very moment Ianyone 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

nfortunately once a

thought is expressed Uvocally 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 the

existence of down. Thus, to avoid the

trap of duality it is best to keep

silence.

Miracles in Yoga

o the conscious mind of a

Yogi, the only miracle or Tmystery 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

he Yogi is a deep sea diver.

He/she delves into the ocean Tof 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

Biographical Note

Alan qualified in Medicine from 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 family and career distanced him

from the Yoga path for some years, he bears witness to

Swamiji's teaching 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 he and Cathy were priviliged

Dr. Alan DavisYogacharya

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 ceremony, as pictured here.
