Foreword

Worshipful Gurudev Swami Sivanandaji Maharaj’s teachings can be summarised as SERVE, LOVE, MEDITATE, REALISE. These four words have been the motto of Gurudev and his mission. These four significant words are inscribed on the Divine Life Society Crest and the Sivananda Pillar as well. Guru Maharaj Sri Swami Chidanandaji had suggested the Sivananda Pillar as the theme of this 2nd Global International Divine Life Society Conference. Hence, we have taken these four-word-inscription of the pillar “Serve, Love, Meditate, Realise” as the theme of the Souvenir. Choicest articles of Pujya Gurudev Swami Sivanandaji Maharaj, Pujya Swami Chidanandaji Maharaj and Pujya Swami Krishnanandaji Maharaj have been selected on this theme from a very large number of books. As we will be crossing over from the first year of the New Millennium to the second year of the New Millennium, some messages on New Year have also been included. So also articles on Divine Life find place most appropriately in this commemorative Souvenir.

This Souvenir will be a permanent treasure, and a source of inspiration and a lifelong companion to all the spiritual sadhaks and devotees on the path of Realisation and Illumination. We pray to the Almighty Lord, Gurudev and all saints and sages to shower upon the readers their blessings.

We acknowledge our sincere gratitude to all those who have contributed in one way or the other in bringing out this wonderful Souvenir. May Gurudev bless them!

With profound regards.

Yours, in the Lord,

Swami Jivanmuktananda
Chairman of the 2nd GIDLSC Committee
