HE MAN who performs Sadhana twice T a day regularly, the thought of Parama Purusa will certainly arise in his mind at the time of death, his liberation is a sure guarantee. There fore every Ananda Margii will have to perform Sadhana twice a day invariably. Verily is this the Command of the Lord. Without Yama and Ni yama Sadhana is an impossibility. Hence the Lord's Command is also to follow Varna and Ni yama. Disobedience to this Command is nothing but to throw oneself into the tortures of animal life for crores of years. That no one should un d·ergo torments such as these, that he might be enabled to enjoy the eternal blessedness under the loving shelter of the Lord, it is the bounden duty of every Ananda Margii to endeavour to bring all to the Path of Bliss. Verily is this a part and parcel of Sadhana to lead others along the Path of Righteousness.

DFTS-03078 from the Epistles oj Paul
Love endures. Love is kind. Love does not know envy � nor boasting, nor vanity. It does not violate property, no r se ek its own advantage. It does not let itself be ploovoked to anger. It bears no malice to ward anyone; nor rejoices over injustice but only over truth. Love encompasses everything; penneates all beliefs, is hopeful in all things, and i,n aU matters practices to lerance. . .
Love, if it be love� is never lost. A prophecy ceases after it is fulfilled. 0/hat is spoken with tongues dies away when it no longer speaks to human hearts. Knowledge vanishes as soon as its subject is exhausted, because all knowledge is fragmentary; li kewise all pro phesying. But when that which is complete has come, then the fragments have lost their meaning.
When I Was a child I spoke as a child, I felt as a child .. I thought as a child. Since I have be come a man my world of chndhood is past. Now we see only dark outlines in the mirror, but one day we shall see the spirit face to face. Now is my knowledge in fragments, but one day I shall know fully what I myself am. Lasting is Faith; la sting the certainty of Hope; cead lasting is Love. But Love is the greatest of these, therefOloe it is supreme.
Behol d the Truth and be one wi�h it. -Swami Viveka8anda
"A Guru is like the mighty Gan ga. Men throw all filth and refuse into the Ganga� but the holiness of th at river is not diminishe d there by. So is the Guru above aU pe tty insu lt and censure. Listen not to anyone censuring your Guru. He is greater than your Father and Mother. Would you keep qw:et when your Father and Mother are insulted in your ve ry presence?
Fight � if necessary, and maintain
the honour of your Guru. "

In 1868 the U.S. government signed a treaty with the Sioux nation recog nizing their sovereignty as a nation. It also ensured the Sioux the possession of the Black Hills of South Dakota. In 1869 gold was discovered in the Black Hil Is. White people overran the Indian land. The U.S. government made this invasion official wi th the Treaty of that forced the Indians to give up large areas of the Black Hills. 1869 Self-government was the next to go. In 1934 an act of Congress replaced the traditiohal chiefs with an elected counci I based on geography. The white man's system of elections was foreign to the Indians. Besides, they already had a government through the clan system. Most of them refused to vote. The people who were elected had grown away from traditional Indian life and culture. Big sa laries and unrestrained power have led them even further away. The tribal counci Is are less interested in representing thei r people than they are in making profitable deals. They are getting richer while the major ity of Indians are poor and unemployed. They. have signed away what is most im portant to the Indian people: the land. For example, the Hopi and Navajo coun ci Is allowed Peabody Coal to strip-mine large areas in the Southwest. That means that the land is being destroyed and the air is being polluted. Overseeing and supporting the tribal councils is the corrupt, white-run �Bureau of Indian Affairs. The Oglala Sioux have been fighting the tribal coun';" cil and the BIA for years. Finally, on February 27,300 Sioux occupied the dis trict of\.Jounded Knee of the Pine Ridge Reservation, and reasserted their so vere i gn ty.
Thei r demands: --that the present tribal government be suspended --that there be new elections and a new type of government patterned after the government set up by the Treaty of 1868 --that there be a c omplete investigation of the Bureau of Indian Affai rs and the Interior Department to clean out graft and wrongdoing.
