Bhagavadgeeta : ( 26/11/2012. )

Chinmaya Mission : Swami Swaroopananda recently conducted a Hanuman Chalisa Maha Yagna in Nairobi, Kenya, with the theme of ‘Go Beyond Your Goal’. The talks were well-received, and the audience attendance increased every day. Swamiji explained the meaning and significance of the Hanuman Chalisa, as well as the impact of chanting the verses with faith and devotion. He recommended the attendees to chant the Hanuman Chalisa daily, seven times a week on either Tuesday or Saturday, and 100 times once a year or at least once in a lifetime. A children’s camp on Hanumanji was held concurrently with the talks, where children engaged with stories, bhajans, chanting, games, and activities based on Hanumanji. The camp was a success, with the number of children increasing from 48 to 117 by the end of the week. The children left with a strong role model that they could look up to throughout their lives. The event concluded on Hanuman Jayanti, which was celebrated with Hanuman Janma celebrations and ...

========================================================================= Friday, April 21, 2023. 06:00. The Moksha Gita : Swami Sivananda Chapter 7: The Process of Sadhana -3. ========================================================================= 9, 10. Understand the right significance of the "Tat Twam Asi" Mahavakya. The knowledge relating to the identity of the individual soul and the supreme soul that arises from Mahavakyas like "Tat Twam Asi" (Thou art That) is the means to emancipation. Tat-Twam-Asi is the Abheda-Bodha-Vakya of the Upanishad which is also the Upadesha-Vakya instructed on by the Brahma-Srotriya Brahmanishtha Guru to the Adhikari or the disciple. The consciousness of the nonseparateness of Jiva and Brahman is brought about by this great aphoristic precept which Sage Uddalaka repeated nine times to his son and disciple Swetaketu. "Thou art That" is the meaning carried out by this declaration of the Sruti. It has got a superficial ve...

========================================================================= Monday, April 17, 2023. 06:30. The Moksha Gita : Swami Sivananda Chapter 7: The Process of Sadhana -2. ========================================================================= 5, 6. You cannot see the all-pervading butter in the milk, but if you churn it you can get the butter. Even so you cannot see Brahman by these physical eyes; but you can behold the All-pervading Brahman by the churning of meditation. The churning of meditation brings the butter of Brahman. When the confused subjectivity is overcome, the nature of Brahman is revealed. The whole task of Sadhana is a very careful and vigilant process and it should not be undertaken at random. The physical eyes cannot see Brahman because Brahman which is Experience is different from perception. Perception which is a part cannot encompass Experience which is the Whole. The part is included within the Whole. Sense-activity is a method of the further sub-division...

Swami Chinmayananda : Type ‘Yes’ if you have practiced Buddhi Yoga before in any aspect of your life!  ========================================================================= Thursday, April 13, 2023. 06:30. The Moksha Gita : Swami Sivananda Chapter 7: The Process of Sadhana -1. ======================================================================== 1. The Guru said: As fire is concealed by ashes, sword by the scabbard, sun by the clouds, foetus by the amnion, rubies by the earth, mattress by the bed sheet, so also, Brahman is concealed by flesh and bones. The Eternal Brahman is concealed by flesh and bones. The appearance of the body hides away the Reality. Truth is covered by a golden vessel. The sun is very big in size, much bigger than the whole earth itself, but a finger over the eyes renders such a sun invisible. Brahman is Truth, Knowledge, Infinity, but a tiny force of Avidya which covers the self makes the entire Brahman imperceptible and even makes it to be felt as non...

The Moksha Gita : Swami Sivananda Chapter 6: The Nature of the Mind - 5. ========================================================================= 9. Destruction of Sankalpas is really destruction of the mind. It is only Sankalpas destroyed beyond resurrection that constitute the ineffable, imperishable and effulgent Brahmic seat. The Sankalpas should be destroyed beyond resurrection. The resuscitation of Vasanas allows th...

Swami Chinmayananda : To waste our precious lifetime in the pursuit of all non-essentials and never taking up seriously the study of the greatest of sciences, which alone can save man from the thraldom of imperfections, is being condemned in this verse of Bhaja Govindam.  While living here, man’s greatest endeavour is to understand and master the secret of life, the Reality behind it and to gain his perfect identification with It.  He must be able to meet death not as a moment of utter annihilation, but as a springboard to rocket himself into an eternal Existence, peaceful and divine. ========================================================================= Sunday, April 02, 2023. 06:30. The Moksha Gita : Swami Sivananda Chapter 6: The Nature of the Mind - 4. ========================================================================= 7. Ahamkara which is the source of all troubles has its seat in the mind. Annihilation of egoism will bring about destruction of the mind and annih...
