MARCH ON, BRAVO!

Yogi Shuddhananda Bharati

March on, bravo, march on
A hopeful dawn is on
The Vedic Truth guides us
From dark despair to bliss.

The smiling Mother leads
Our life and grants our needs.
The blocking rocks dissolve
Before our firm resolve.

Strike at the root of fear
The helping Hand is near.
Heralds of cosmic age
Inspire in us courage.

Defying death and pain
This battle we shall win.
Sing songs of unity,
O gems of divinity!

Agni gives energy
Sun removes lethargy
Truth gives us victory
March on, glory to glory!


THIS SCRIPTURE

VEDA SADHANAM is a scripture of Universal Hinduism. Yogi Shuddhananda Bharatiwas kind enough to compile this great work for the good of humanity. YogiShuddhananda was a born saint, dedicated to the spiritual service of humanity.He lived all religions and all systems of Yogas and he was a radiating centre ofYoga Shakti. He had widely studied, widely travelled, and was recognised bysavants as the apostle of One God, One world and One humanity. He was a Pilgrimof Eternity. His great Epic of Godmen Bharatashakti (50,000 lines) was hailed byGandhiji as the Modern Mahabharata. He lived in dynamic silence at SholapuramTapalayam moving his pen to the rhythm of the Divine inspiration in his soul.

Veda Sadhanam is a publication blessed by great sages like Sri Aurobindo,Ramana Maharshi and Sivananda Saraswati. It is a Bible of Manava Dharma and aguiding Light to followers of the Voice of Ancient Sages and their Yoga. Itcontains chosen gems from the Vedas, Upanishads, Gita, Brahma Sutras, YogaSutras, Ramayana, Mahabharata, Bhagavatam, Shankara’s hymns and from the hymnsof inspired saints. It is a treasure of wisdom appealing to all seekers.

Veda Sadhanam is dedicated to the memory of H.H. Sadguru Swami SivanandajiMaharaj, whom Kavi Yogi Shuddhananda adored as the emanation of Divinity.

May all who study and follow the wisdom of ancient sages treasured in theVeda Sadhanam attain peace, bliss, light, and energy by realising the Real inthe human vesture! Hari Aum Tat Sat!


INTRODUCTION

This book constitutes the gift of a great man to his contemporary humanfamily. The actual authors of the contents of this book are our ancient sages of”Prachina Bharatavarsha.” The inestimable service rendered to us byRev. Shuddhananda Bharatiji Maharaj is to delve into this ancient wisdom, make acompilation of its high points and translate it into English, with explanatorynotes added to it to bring out their inner meaning clearly to the seeker afterwisdom. The original Sanskrit source appears in the latter part of this bookcovering 66 pages. The English version covers 100 pages. There are two poems:one at the very beginning and the second one “SONG OF UNITY” upon theback cover. I recommend this book to all sincere seekers and earnest pursuers ofknowledge and wisdom. May this book have the wide circulation that it deserves.

Swami Chidananda


PREFACE

In the name of our beloved and late worshipped Maharshi Kavi Yogi SuddhanandaBharati of Yoga Samaj Sholapuram Tapalayam, who is no more present with us, I amvery glad to put into the hands of the reading public and especially spiritualseekers, this latest reprint of his well-known book VEDA SADHANAM. This is arare work of the Vedantic vision and its practical living that we have inheritedas our spiritual heritage. India’s ancient sages and seers who attained to thesupreme living experience of this supra-cosmic PRIMAL BEING declared theirvision and experience for the benefit of posterity. In our own times in thisrecent 20th Century we were blessed by the presence of such a sage and a seerwho appeared in this unbroken line of succession of spiritual masters to awakenmankind to the spiritual goal of life and enlighten the human world of the meansof attaining the supreme goal.

I have had the great fortune and blessedness of having personally met andknown and imbibed wisdom from late worshipful Maharishi Kavi Yogi ShuddhanandaBharati. He was a boyhood friend of our Holy Master Sri Swami SivanandajiMaharaj. Revered Sri Shuddhananda Bharatiji was an inspired poet, a greatscholar and linguist, familiar with more than a dozen languages including Frenchand Latin. He was also a very great patriot with intense love for India,Bharatavarsha, blazing in his heart. May his benedictions be upon all thereaders of this book.

Swami Chidananda


SONG OF UNITY

Trees are many; the grove is one
Branches are many; tree is one
Shores are many; sea is one
Limbs are many; body is one
Bodies many; Self is one
Stars are many; Sky is one
Flowers are many; honey is one
Pages are many; book is one
Thoughts are many; Thinker is one
Tastes are many; taster is one
Actors are many; the drama is one
Nations are many; World is one
Religions are many; Truth is one
The wise are many; Wisdom is one
Beings are many; Breath is one
Classes are many; College is one
Find out this One behind the many
Then life shall enjoy peaceful harmony

–Yogi Shuddhananda Bharati
