Dakshineshwar Kali Temple Kolkata (Calcutta)
Kali Temple of Daskshineswar video clip
The Temple of Maa (Mother) Kaali is well known all around the world. It was the deep devotion and fire of love of Sri Ramakrishna Paramhamsha towards the Mother Divine that happened here. These are the sacred grounds where Sri Ramakrihsna observed spiritual practices and His deep and intense love for Mother Kali, made it possible for him to feel Her divinity and He talked with her.The temple is located on the Eastern banks of the Ganges about 4 miles North of Kolkata. The video clip shows the steps leading to the sacred river that Sri Ramakrishna used to trod on. The chandni (roofed terrace), on either side, ranged in a row are Temples of Shiva.
To the east are the courtyard and the temple of Radhakanta Temple. It was this temple that Sri Ramakrishna Parahamasha served as the priest in the beginning, in the year 1857 A.D.
Then the video clip shows the main Kali Temple, where the Sri Ramakrishna experienced , ecstatic divine love. The image or idol of Kali Mother, dressed in gorgeous gold, standing on the white golden image of the prostrate body of Shiva, her divine consort.
She has three eyes. On the feet of the Goddess are ornaments of Gold. Her arms are decked with jeweled ornaments of gold. She wears necklaces of gold and pearl. A golden garland of human hands and a golden gird of human arms. She has on Her head a golden crown. Her ears adorned with golden earrings and her nose wears a golden nose ring, with a pearl.
In her left hand, she holds a human head. With Her right hand she offers blessings and reassurance.
The video clip also shows Nat Mandir (Temple) or music hall. Here resides idols of Shiva and His two companions. Before entering the Temple Thakur (Sri Ramakrishna), used to offer his pranams (Obeisance) here. The vido clip also shows image of Govindu or Lord Krishna in Radhakanta Temple. Thakur (Sri Ramakrishna) had mended this image with his own hands when it was damaged.
The Kali Temple and the names of other places shown in this video clip are mentioned frequently in Gospel of Sri Ramakrishna. If you are interested in Kali Temple of Dakshineswar or Divine life and teachings of Sri Raakrishna, Gospel of Sri Ramakrihsna is a must read, not only for information and divine teaching, but a divine experience in itself.

Om Sai Ram ,
Jai Kali Maa,
Thanks for sharing this wonderful divine video clip.
This is beautiful. Thanks again for posting
When I first saw this clip. Tears rolled down my cheeks. I visited this place so much, when I was in Kolkata. Sitting 17000kms away from Kolkata, and seeing this... was a beautiful feeling that cannot be described in words.
All I can say is a big thank you for posting this. Wish it could be bit longer clip.
This video is from the vcd called " Footprints Of Sri Ramakrishna Volume 2 "
Different Vedanta Society websites carry it.

Inspirational Buddha Quotes
This online video from you tube channel has some good Quotes by Lord Buddha. The background song dreamer goes well along with the video.
Quotes in the video
Hatered does not cease with hatred but only with love, this is eternal rule
You will not be punished for your anger, you will be punished by your anger
Holding onto anger is like grasping a hot coal with the intent of throwing at someone else, you are the one who gets burned.
A dog is not considered good dog because he is a good barker. A man is not considered good because he is a good talker.
To keep the body in good health is duty, otherwise we will not be able to keep our minds strong and clear.
Believe nothing no matter where you read it, or who said it, no matter if I have said it, unless it agrees with your own reason and your own common sense.
The way is not in the sky the way is in the heart.
Work out your own salvation, do not depend on others.
No one saves us but our selves. No one can and no one may. We ourselves must walk the path.
We are what we think. All that we are arises with our thoughts. With our thoughts we make the world.
In the sky there is no distinction of east or west: people create distinctions with their own minds and believe them to be true.
To live pure unselfish life one must count nothing as one's own in the midst of abundance.
Have compassion for all beings, rich or poor alike: each has their suffering. Some suffers too much others too little.
What is the proper behaviour for a man or a woman in the midst of this world, where each person is clinging to his piece of debris? What's the proper salutation between people as they pass each other in this flood?
He is able who thinks he is able.
Better than a thousand hollow words is one word that brings peace.
We are formed and molded by our thoughts. Those whose minds are shaped with selfless thoughts give joy when they speak or act. Joy follows them like a shadow that never leaves them.
Thank you may you have peace in life.

Paramahansa Yogananda
Yogananda Early Years
The above is a soundless video that depicts the earlier years of Shri Paramahansa Yoganandaji
Few comments shared on you tube:
* Thank you for this wonderful video!
* Thank you, I had no idea there were any videos of the master.
* See other videos of the Swami Yogananda in my profile.
* THANK YOU!
* yogananda my hometown buddy
* Thank you very much for this wonderful video. I feel very happy to see Gurudeva's video.
* It is hard to know who Yogananda is by watching this video. He is performing this wedding according to Vedic tradition and his talking with required intonation. One needs to read his work to get a glimpse of his mission. There you see his greatness, humility, and wisdom. No ordinary man could ever write what he wrote. Reading his words is a life-changing experience.
* Awesome! I read his Autobiography in 1985 and was deeply impressed by his songs, he is a real guru and a real master of yoga and bhakti! All glories to him!
* gracias por la paz interna.. de Chile...tu amigo..
* Om Guru!!!
* hi i liking thise vedio,I want to down load this vedio to my computer how
* hey the sound didnt work, i wud appreciate if this video had sound. yogananda is eternal kriya yogi who showed that even mortal human body could shine after death, because of its pure conciousness of its dweller and kriya. get his message and we are rooted to awaken
* I think these videos do more harm than good. To an outsider this video is strange and seems cultish. But people who have read his biography know that Yogananda was a true master, a saint. He is my guru and I don't feel these videos give him any justice. They are very misleading to the common outsider.
* He is too theatrical. For a yogi he is too fat.
* Drvasudeva, I have two quotes for you:
1. From Aesop: "Beware, lest you lose the substance by grasping at the shadow."
2. From the Talmud: "We see others not as they are, but as we are."
* How come all these indian godmen & gurus are all still 6' under the ground? Because there is only one who has power over life and death and He is the King of King and Lord of Lords and His name is Jesus Christ "Many will come in His name and decieve many"
* That shows how much you know about the metaphysical. No one is 6 feet under the ground. The body is not the soul. And all the Masters can be contacted in the Astral Plane. Yogananda appears to many.
* I think that quote applies to those who claim to preach the word of God but do not themselves embody the compassion or virtue of Jesus Christ.
* That was in response to caucazhin's reference that 'many will come in his name an deceive many'. I just got his autobiography from Amazon. It's very good.
* I've been affiliated with SRF for 25 years and have never found it to be anything other than truly beautiful, authentic and honest.
* the lack of music and the word/caption card at the opening indicate that this was shot during one of his early tours between the end of the war and the "Rashid" disaster when they went temporarily bankrupt due to mismanagemnent of his tour funds in the 30s.
* I love the introduccion "My Soul Bows to Your Soul".
Thank you "pythonbr" for sharing this Jewel of Video here in You Tube!!!
* I think if you fully concentrate upon his eyes and just relax without preconceive ideas and prejudice, you will feel a strong spiritual vibration over your head and spine. Unbelievable that these vibrations of joy and peace emanates from a film.
* Has anyone had a problems with sound?
* Yes , can't hear a thing.

Paramahansa Yogananda: omaggio
The above is a pictorial video of Shri Paramahansa Yoganandaji
comments shared on you tube:
* Thank you for this wonderful video of master and all paramgurus.
* lovely video. however, yogananda was born in 1893, not 1853 as it says in your first frame. according to your dates, that would have made him 99 years old at the time of his mahasamadhi!
* Well spotted. I was going to write that too.
* Namasté ~ Many blessings.
* babaji and his pupils.the most legendary and famous yogi of the world:)
* so they dont live long it is because they too much are siting that is not good for body-energy beside loiving too much inward-dream-bliss would use up too much body war-energy so the body would age too quickly.anyway good man.
* Can you tell me the name of the music? Beautiful video!!
* from Piccolo Buddha, di Bertolucci. Ciao ;)
* Yogananda lived long enough :)
Immortality in the body is not liberation.
All the great Masters tell us to find our Guru. The path begins when we find the Guru.
Don't stop looking until you have found yours.
:) And good luck. You shouldn't have to wait too long.
* In this one message I have learne a great deal. You are angry, very angry. And you want to take that anger out on Gurus who are only the servants of mankind (true gurus). Where do you think all the wisdom came from? It didn't fall from the sky. Gurus ie Realizers- that's where it came from. And they told how they realized. They surrendered to a Realizer. Your ego finds that repulsive. No shock in that.
:)
* I was saying that you are angry because you got defensive even when nobody was attacking you. that is a simple observation, no great psychological brainwashing needed to notice that.
And where do you get this idea that any Guru or I have 'hotline' to heaven?
With or without a Guru, the same work must be done. The Guru simply helps.
* We are caught here in some strange argument that i don't even understand.
Who are the people that you are referring to when you say 'extremeism and blind devotion etc etc?"
Yogananda and the other great Masters, taught that you must also test the Guru.
Did you know that? No True Master would recommend blind belief. I personally wouldn't put the pope in the same category as Yogananda. The Pope is an elected official not a realizer. See the difference?
* What you may not have know was that He knew He was departing. He didn't just grab His chest and die of a freak heart attack.
Read His autobiography before you say anymore.
over weight and unfit?
Unfit for what? Racing? Boxing? He was fit enough for Love.
Let me ask you. what is your problem with Yogananda? What did He do to you that makes you have such a low view of Him?
* Hey london, seriously relax. i am not a devotee of Yogananda. I did read His book many years ago. What the institution did after He died I don't know. it is run by egos afterall and as my Guru says, 'Dead Gurus don't kick ass".
I'm sorry to hear about your friend. How did they destroy your friend?
* The universe is God's vast temple. The doors open when you have communion with him.
* thank you from my soul to yours
* Thank you all of you for this. I did not know that I will have the opportunity to hear this lovely music and see great photos of all gurus..Wishing a very happy birthday to dearest gurudeva Yogananda ji on Jan 5 2008.your blessings are always with your devotees
* Thank you all of you for this. I did not know that I will have the opportunity to hear such lovely music and see photos of all gurus.Wishing a very happy birthday to dearest gurudeva on Jan 5 2008.your blessings are always with your devotees
* This great Guru DID know his life was coming to an end. He even predicted that he would "Die with his boots on." In otherwords, he knew that he would die that day while giving a talk.
All one needs to do is listen to Daya Ma's audio tapes. She discusses in detail what happened that sad day.
* Should say 1893 instead of 1853!
* I Love Yogananda
* 1893
* I can only feel his love!
* how can feel his love?????????????? god is onu, never on other.. please dont forget u.. intimate on u and yo grown up!
thanks eher baBba coz of ur grace ....
we can see your physical form in video clips..
