ALL FAITHS HALL
SWAMIJI QUOTES
On either side are spiral staircases to the upper level. From this lobby there is an entrance which leads to the All Faiths Hall. On each of the side walls are cases which contain scriptures and articles used in ritual, as well as other items from the faiths represented by the altars in the shrine above.
In the centre is a statue of a world globe surrounded by human figures in red, black,yellow brown and white, representing the different races. This display symbolizes universal brother/sisterhood. Through the back door of the All Faiths Hall there is an overlook with beautiful plants and greenery that enhance the peaceful setting.

A yogi is like a surfer who knows how to balance on his board. He welcomes even a big rolling wave because he knows how to enjoy it without getting caught in it.
Keep the mind clean, the body clean, the life well disciplined, the heart dedicated. This is Yoga.
Discipline makes your mind stronger and one-pointed. It should ultimately help you make your mind your slave.
Knowing the meaning of the mantram is not even necessary. The faith behind it is more important.
By repetition of a mantram alone, many hundreds of great saints have experienced Divine Consciousness.
Even when you are physically doing something, your aim can be meditation. Focusing your entire mind on what you are doing is meditation.
Spend a few minutes each day in meditation. These are the most important minutes you can spend. You will be able to send out nice, peaceful vibrations, and these vibrations will go around the globe.
If you have total faith in a Higher Will - a Higher Energy - you will be able to tune in to that and receive all the strength and energy to recharge your system.
To become a good instrument of the Divine, maintain your health - have an easeful body, a peaceful mind and a useful life.
Everything and everybody is looking for happiness. But it is not something that has to be brought in from outside. Happiness is already within Us and is to be experienced.
If you want God to come in, make room.
