The Purusha Sukta beholds the Supreme Being as the All-encompassing, Impersonal Purusha, while the Narayana Sukta addresses the Lord as Narayana. The Purusha Sukta, thus, is a hymn addressed to the Purusha extending beyond the cosmos yet at the same time present within creation, and the Narayana Sukta is a devout, touching, feelingful and personal address to the Creator ...

Article Scriptures Sri Krishna as Revealed in All Levels of Reality: 3. Swami Krishnananda (Spoken on May 1, 1983) ================================================================================================== Duty is a most eluding term which occurs again and again in the Bhagavadgita. The true nature of the duty that is expected of us is something which we cannot easily know inasmuch as we cannot easily know our own selves as we are and, therefore, at the same time, we cannot also know what our total involvement is in the setup of the world outside. What we call duty, which the Bhagavadgita teaching seems to be expecting of every individual, is the obligation of the individual to the environment of the cosmos, and this obligation cannot be understood in its true essentiality unless the relationship between the individual and the cosmos i...

Books Bhagavadgita & Hinduism A Short History of Religious and Philosophic Thought in India - 6. Chapter 2: The Upanishads:3. Swami Krishnananda Post-6. ======================================================================================================= Metaphysics: Continue The Supreme Being can neither be seen, nor heard, nor thought, nor understood, with the faculties of the individual. He can be recognised where the ego is abolished. He sees through the eyes, hears through the ears, thinks through the mind, understands through the intellect and breathes through the breath; but these instruments cannot apprehend Him. One who thinks that he knows, knows not. He is known by him who does not think that he knows anything in particular. If He is known here in this life, then there is the true end of all aspirations. If one does not know Him in ...

Article Scriptures  Spiritual Evolution According to the Bhagavadgita: 5. Swami Krishnananda. (Spoken on February 24th, 1973). Post - 5. ==================================================================================================== This is the sum and substance of the fundamentals of yoga practice – their philosophy and methodology. This has to be applied in our life daily, because every day is a link in the chain of the development of our personality into spiritual life. Every day, every minute, every moment of our life is a link in the chain of our development, and every link has to be strong enough. If one link breaks, the whole chain will be broken, so every moment, every second, every minute of our life is a very strong link in this long chain of development which we call spiritual evolution. Therefore, it is necessary to build up stro...

Chapter 7: The Process of Sadhana: Commentary:  Swami Krishnananda. ================================================================================================== गुरुरुवाच ॥ आच्छाद्यते यथा वह्निर्भस्मना च कृपाणकः । कोशेन च रविर्मेधैर्गर्भश्चोल्बेन हीरकः ॥ मृदा तल्पश्छदेनैवं ब्रह्म मांसास्थिभिर्वृतम् ॥१॥ 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 s...

=============================================================================================================== Thursday 18, June 2026, 20:00.  Books Bhagavadgita & Hinduism The Heritage of Indian Culture: 2.3 .   Chapter 2: The Vision of True Religion -3. Swami Krishnananda. Post-7. ==================================================================================================== A degenerating outlook of life, which somehow presented itself before the human eye for reasons which we cannot examine at present, became the reason for this carping criticism. While every criticism has some truth in it, it is not wholly true. We can appreciate that the truth of the criticism lies in the fact that we always look upon divinity as something which has nothing to do with our inner desires. We consider all our desires as devils, unholy satanic urges, and so we abruptly conclude that religion is nothing but a hastening into monasteries, putting on a hood or an ochre cloth, and ...
