Svayam vajimstanvam kalpayasva
svayam yajasva svayam jusasva
Mahima tenyena na sannase.
Yajurveda 23 /15
"0 mighty yajna purusa (sacrificer)! Make your own body strong and capable. Perform the yajna yourself. Engage personally in religious pursuits. No one else can attain the glory that belongs you."
Dear reader! The spring breeze charged with the subtle vital energy of Yugdevata (Time Spirit) has come in the form of these printed exhortations to fill you with new life, new spur and new hope. This breeze will blow off all the dust which the passing time may have deposited over the smouldering embers in you and rekindle it into leaping flames. You will experience the upsurge of a radiant glow, energy, warmth and ardour inside you that will propel you vigorously in the direction of jivana sadhana - the way of leading a healthy, vibrant, enlightened, happy and balanced life.
If you are sensing the stir of these feelings inside you, surely the Yugdevatas subtle pranic force has touched you somewhere. Otherwise, you would not have felt this new alertness and enthusiasm. Do not quibble about who is outwardly penning the words or framing the sentences.
