Chinmaya Mission 

Throwback to a memorable occasion on the 3rd of July, as Chinmaya Vidyalaya in Trinidad and Tobago celebrated Vyasa Jayanti with great reverence. 

The occasion was graced by the establishment of Veda Bhagavan Sthapana and Gayatri Mata Sthapana on the Sant Tulsidas Campus in McBean, Couva. 

Swami Prakashananda and Shri Ravi led the auspicious pujas, imparting their blessings to a congregation of more than 300 students, parents, and devotees. 

The event was not only spiritually enriching but also brought joy through engaging fun activities, in which the students actively participated.

Commentary

Sanjay conveyed to Dhritarashtra, that the tremendous sound of the various conch shells from the Pandava army was shattering the hearts of his sons. Whereas, he did not mention any such reaction from the Pandavas, when the Kauravas were creating a commotion. The Kauravas were fearful, as their conscience pricked them for their crimes and misdeeds. They were relying solely on their physical strength to fight the war. However, the Pandavas were confident and felt protected, as the Supreme Lord Shree Krishna was by their side, their victory was definite.

Chapter 8: Creation and Life After Death -1. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Bhagavadgita is a moksha-shastra, a scripture on the science of the liberation of the spirit. Thus it follows the course of the return process along the same lines as the evolutionary process of the descent of the soul from the Supreme Being. The first six chapters may be said to be engaged in an exposition of self-discipline from the individual point of view, the integration of the human personality and the preparation of the whole man for the greater task which is yet to come – namely, the at-one-ment of the individual with the set-up of the universe. Some of the interpreters and commentators on the Bhagavadgita hold that the first six chapters have a relevance to the significance of the term 'twam' in the famous Upanishadic p
