=================================================================================== Saturday 30, Mar 2024 06:10. Chapter 5: The Karma Yoga Principle of the Bhagavadgita-9. Post-20. =================================================================================== Samatvam yoga ucyate (Gita 2.48):  Equilibrium is Yoga, harmony is Yoga, adjustment is Yoga, adaptability is Yoga, unity is Yoga, the blending of the subject and the object in harmony is Yoga. In everything that you do, you must be in a state of harmony. You should not come in conflict with anybody – neither with nature nor with people. The moment you set up an atmosphere of conflict and you are not able to adjust your personality with the object, the adhibhuta, there you have failed in Yoga. Yogaḥ karmasu kauśalam (Gita 2.50) is another great dictum. Yoga is harmony, and it is also expertness in action. Expertness means the ability to see unity in everything that you do, and in every position in which you are placed. Here is

Chapter 18: The Yoga of the Liberation of Spirit-5. =================================================================================== So is the case with will, or volition. When our will power is able to decide upon the supreme value of life and maintain this consciousness continuously, in a state of self-restraint through Yoga, we are endowed with the most powerful form of will, the sattvika form of volition. Moksha is the goal of life, and everything is contributory towards this supreme attainment. If the will can rest on this conclusion perpetually, we may be said to be possessed of the highest form of will power. We should be able to connect every little thing in the world with that ultimate purpose of the liberation of the soul. But if our will is muddled, is mixing up values, and we are unable to come to a decision as to what is the ultimate principle that guides life,

  Chinmaya Mission:  Step into the memory of Chinmaya Mission's Holi Celebration, where colours mixed with spiritual vibes, creating a beautiful scene of togetherness.  People came together, sharing joy and love, spreading happiness. It was more than just throwing colours, it was about celebrating unity and goodness.  In that peaceful place, everyone joined in, enjoying the festival's magic.  Chinmaya Mission's Holi Celebration was like a big, colorful reunion where everyone was welcome.  It was about feeling connected and happy, surrounded by vibrant colours and good vibes.  Memories linger of laughter, music, and the shared spirit of camaraderie, making it a cherished experience for all who participated. =================================================================================== BHAGAVAD GEETA  Chapter - 2 Discourse – 2 (72 Slogas) “Yoga of the SUPREME SELF” Sri Veda Vyasaji =================================================================================== Wednes

=================================================================================== Monday 25, Mar 2024 06:50. Chapter 5: The Karma Yoga Principle of the Bhagavadgita-8. Post-19. =================================================================================== The philosophy of the Bhagavadgita is not merely work, but participation in the production of a value that is transcendent to the action itself. When a large machine is working, every little part works and contributes to the machine's output, the output being transcendent to the machine itself. The machine is an instrument, and the parts are also participants. Something is automatically produced as a transcendent result by the participation of the parts in the work of this large machinery of the world. What follows from all this? You cannot sit quiet, nor can you motivate action by your own self independently. You are wound up inextricably, warp and woof, as in the fabric of a cloth, in the arrangement of things in this uni
