Seeing the radiant face of Ma Anandamayi and hearing her laughter you guess that she is an incarnation of Joy. Touched by the caress of Her glance you know that her heart is overflowing with love for all beings. Listening to Her teaching so simple and clear you understand that She is in possession of all Wisdom. But one cannot say whether it is Joy, Love or Wisdom that is the source of all this for with Her all therr are inextricably and indissolubly mingled one coluld not exist without the others. The joy which Ma anandmayi lives is not that which we know in worldly life, where pleasure and pain, hope, regret and disillusionment, attraction and repulsion follow on each other's heels, born one of another. Nor is it an egocentric calm of stoic rigidity that erects around itself an rampart of indifference. Hers is an overflowing, irrepressible joy that expresses itself in gaiety, that knows no obstacles, because it is deeply rooted in the Absolute, beyond the dualities of good and evil, of 'I' and 'not-I', of pleasant and unpleasant, because its unshakable base is Love and Wisdom.

This booklet is about pronouncing Sanskrit words correctly.Chanting of Sanskrit mantra-s and shloka-s is of value only if the Sanskrit words are pronounced correctly. To the modern Indian young men and women, it could be said in the language they would readily understand, that: "Chanting of Sanskrit mantra-s and shloka-s without making an effort to pronounce Sanskrit words correctly is like winking at your love in the dark. You think you have winked but your love does not even know it! When you chant to appease a god of your understanding without making an effort to pronounce Sanskrit words correctly, you may think you are chanting to appease the god of your understanding, but your god would not even know that you are chanting for him!So, if you chant Sanskrit mantra-s or shloka-s, chant correctly. Otherwise forget chanting and do some better work like watering a plant, giving milk to a hungry child or going to a Gurdwara and washing utensils there!

A seamless blend of fable and philosophy, the Bhagavata Purana is perhaps the most revered text in the Vaishnava tradition. It brings to life the legends of gods, asuras, sages and kings-all the while articulating the crucial ethical and philosophical tenets that underpin Hindu spiritualism. The narrative unfolds through a series of conversations and interconnected stories. We are told how the sage Vyasa was inspired by Narada to compose the Bhagavata Purana as a means to illumine the path to a spiritual life. We learn of the devotion of Prahlada, the austerity of Dhruva, and the blinding conceit of Daksha. Also recounted are tales of the many incarnations of Vishnu, especially Krishna, whom we see grow from a beloved and playful child to a fierce protector of the faithful.
