Article Scriptures The Language of the Bhagavadgita: 1.  Swami Krishnananda (Gita Jayanti Message spoken on December 26, 1982) ==================================================================================== The uttered word or the spoken language is essentially a vibration, and when words are spoken by the operation of the mechanism of speech in a properly conducted manner it sets up a power, a force, which materialises itself into the effect, the intention behind the word or the speech. There is an old saying of Bhavabhuti, the great poet, that in the case of ordinary people, speech follows existent things, and in the case of great Masters, things follow their speech. We cannot speak things which are contrary to observable facts. We follow the course of nature in the utterance of words. We are conditioned by an external atmosphere and a mandate, and accor...

Article Scriptures The Three Types of Discipline of the Bhagavadgita: 1  Swami Krishnananda. (Spoken on September 18th, 1974) ==================================================================================== I have been asked to speak a few words to you on the philosophy of the Bhagavadgita. Normally, this great text called the Bhagavadgita has been regarded as a religious and spiritual gospel of Bharatavarsha, that is, India. There have been commentaries galore published on this wonderful text of India's heritage, all expounding various aspects or facets of its doctrine or teaching, and even today commentaries are being written on this wonderful book. It only shows the comprehensiveness of the teaching of the Bhagavadgita and the inability of the finite human mind to fathom its depths. To me at least, the Bhagavadgita has been not merely a religious gos...

Commentary on the Bhagavadgita:  Swami Krishnananda Discourse 1: The Colophon of the Bhagavadgita-1. ================================================================================== 1. Brahmavidyāyāṁ yogaśāstre śrīkṛṣṇārjunasaṁvāde. These words occur at the end of each chapter of the Bhagavadgita. Those who do not know Sanskrit might not have even noticed this. Those who know Sanskrit just take it for granted and bypass it as something that needs to be recited at the end of each chapter, whatever the reason may be. But there is no redundant word in the Bhagavadgita. There is nothing that can be bypassed or considered...

January  (from The Realisation of the Absolute) ======================================================================================= 6. The Love for the Eternal: The love for the Eternal is the essential passion that burns in the heart of all things. Beings know it not, and so they suffer. When we turn our face away from this one Reality, we open the door to self-imprisonment. No achievement, either on earth or in heaven, no greatness pertaining to the world of name and form, is worth considering. The love of life is based on the love of the Self. All actions are done for the sake of the Self, not for external persons and things. “Not, verily, for the love of all is all dear, but for the love of the Self is all dear."—Brih. Up., II. 4. 5. All actions are done for the sake of the Self, not for external persons...

That is the status he is held in amongst spiritual seekers all over the world.   His Poorvashram name was Madhvacharya. Just to get some idea of the family he was born into, he had a brother named Sayanacharya, well-known for his commentaries on all the four Vedas. Madhvacharya lived at a time when the Muslim invasion in India was at its height. He was the Prime Minister of the southern kingdom of Vijayanagara. This gives us an idea of his service to the nation and the culture of the land. Later in life, ...

Severing the Root of this Tree of Life:7. Swami Krishnananda.  ================================================================================ Our deeper levels in the inner layers of our psyche are connected to subtle objects of sense, and these are the impulses that disturb our meditations and even the very thought of God. How can anyone be seated throughout the day and think of God? We will feel restless and out of sorts because of the unnaturalness of this thought. It is a wonder that the thought of God should appear as unnatural and be rushed forward into the outer atmosphere to become natural. Don't you feel, even all you people seated here, a slight sense of relief when you finish the satsanga and go out? “Oh, the boredom is finished. Let us breathe.” You feel a sense of limitation and uneasiness when y...
