4. Moulder Of Students :

Ques: How far will Sivananda Literature help to mould students’ thoughts?


Ans: Spiritual literature always helps and elevates—not only students, but everyone. 

 The mind needs food just as much as the body does. 

 If cattle are fed on good prepared food in the cow-shed, they will no longer go out to graze on rubbish. 

 Even so, if the mind is fed on good thoughts contained in spiritual literature, they will no longer entertain a taste for cheap literature.


You must, however, notice one point.

While spiritual literature always helps, the extent to which it benefits a man depends upon the man himself.

You will be benefited to the extent to which you already possess a moral character, have a liking for spiritual subjects and have faith in the book and its author.

What is true of spiritual literature, in general, is true of Sivananda Literature also.

In addition, Sivananda Literature has the quality of converting even sinners and atheists; this is because of the Divine powers of the writer.

It is because Swamiji’s appeal is forceful, His style is simple.

He directly addresses the reader and thus touches his heart with his rousing divine message.


He shows practical ways and means of overcoming impurity and evil and becoming divine.

He infuses confidence, optimism and inspiration into you.

He speaks to students from their own level and counsels them as their friend and well-wisher.

He always takes the positive course of encouraging them and infusing new hope and optimism into them.

He seldom takes the condemnatory attitude.

Hence his books appeal to the youth and are effective in moulding their thoughts and conduct.

The Mahabharata -  Speech by Swami Vivekananda - Delivered at the Shakespeare Club, Pasadena, California, February 1, 1900)   The other epic about which I am going to speak to you this evening, is called the Mahâbhârata. It contains the story of a race descended from King Bharata, who was the son of Dushyanta and Shakuntalâ. Mahâ means great, and Bhârata means the descendants of Bharata, from whom India has derived its name, Bhârata. Mahabharata means Great India, or the story of the great descendants of Bharata. The scene of this epic is the ancient kingdom of the Kurus, and the story is based on the great war which took place between the Kurus and the Panchâlas. So the region of the quarrel is not very big. This epic is the most popular one in India; and it exercises the same authority in India as Homer's poems did over the Greeks. As ages went on, more and more matter was added to it, until it has become a huge book of about a hundred thousand couplets. All sorts of

CHAPTER 2. HINDU SCRIPTURES : 1.5     1.The Scriptures : 5 5. The Ramayana The Ramayana, the Adi-Kavya or the first epic poem, relates the story of Sri Rama, the ideal man. It is the history of the family of the solar race descended from Ikshvaku, in which was born Sri Ramachandra, the Avatara of Lord Vishnu, and his three brothers. The ideal characters like Rama, Sita, Lakshmana, Bharata and Sri Hanuman that we find in Ramayana firmly establish Hindu Dharma in our minds. The story of the birth of Rama and his brothers, their education and marriages, the exile of Sri Rama, the carrying off and recovery of Sita, his wife, the destruction of Ravana, the Rakshasa King of Lanka, and the reign of Sri Rama, are described in detail in Ramayana. How a man should behave towards his superiors, equals and inferiors, how a king ought to rule his kingdom, how a man should lead his life in this world, how he can obtain his release, freedom and perfection, may be learnt from this excellen

1. We have the famous immortal metaphor of the chariot explaining the Atma and the Body.       2. In the chariot sits the Sarathi ( driver), and the Yodha ( warrior).       3. In the body stays the Paramatma, the Self and the Jeevatma, the Ego and the entire technique of the Adhyatma Yoga is explained.     4. Here the Ratham ( chariot) represents our body,       5. Five horses are our five sense-organs ( Panchendriya),     6. Lagan ( kadjnan/saddles) of the horses is our Buddhi(intelligence),     7.  The Sarathi is our Mind,     8. Yodha is our Atma.
