Discourse 3: Severing the Root of this Tree of Life-4. ========================================================================= Chapter 15 – Purushothama yogam : The Yogam of the Supreme Divine Personality :  Lessons from the Analogy of a Banyan tree : ======================================================================== Bondage consists in a type of movement of the mind. We can create bondage within our mind even inside our room because the mind is not inside the room. It is not even inside the body. It is an ethereal, unintelligible, all-pervading medium, and that is why it cannot be controlled, even as we cannot control the wind. How can we control a tempest or a cyclone or a tornado? Likewise is the hardship involved in the control of the mind. The mind is connected to everything everywhere,...

Discourse 3: Severing the Root of this Tree of Life-3. ========================================================================= Chapter 15 – Purushothama yogam : The Yogam of the Supreme Divine Personality :  Lessons from the Analogy of a Banyan tree : ======================================================================== The Katha Upanishad also makes mention of this tree of life. In the scriptures of other nations also we will find mystical reference to trees of this kind—the tree Yggdrasill, for example, as we read in Scandinavian mythology, comparable with the tree that is described in the Fifteenth Chapter of the Bhagavadgita. This art of comparing life to a tree seems to be common to various nationalities because of the character of growth implied in life, the feature of the ramification of aspe...

Discourse 3: Severing the Root of this Tree of Life-2. ========================================================================= Chapter 15 – Purushothama yogam : The Yogam of the Supreme Divine Personality :  Lessons from the Analogy of a Banyan tree : ======================================================================== Discourse 3: Severing the Root of this Tree of Life-2. Theory and practice are not bifurcated as the North Pole and the South Pole. Idea expressed is action, as I mentioned previously. As water condenses into ice, thought manifests itself as activity. In the same way as water and ice are not different—it is water itself that has become ice, and they are not two different things—likewise, it is the idea that has become practice. Science becomes technology. We cannot have merely a...

 ======================================================================== Chinmaya Mission Swami Swaroopananda was warmly welcomed by young, children and adults of Chinmaya Mission Dubai during his recent visit to Dubai in the first week of November. Swamiji expounded on the how the potent prayer Maha Mrutyunjana Mantra confers many corporeal benefits, including good health and long life. To the ardent seeker of Truth, the Mantra can give liberation from self-ignorance, verify a deathly state unto itself... for Mritunjaya, the Victor over Death (moha delusion), is none other than Lord Shiva Himself. Seekers were entralled to discover new meaning and found a lasting appreciation of the Mantra's efficacy on both the gross and subtle levels. ======================================================================= Friday, November 11, 2022. 19:00.
