Srimad Bhagavad - Gita

Bhagavatham village: Mumbai-Chembur - Shell Colony Ayyappa Temples all committee office bearers and devotees.  Prana Pratishtha took place in Chembur during Bhagavata Saptaha which started from 2024 Jan 20 in Ayodhya.  It is not enough to thank Ayyappa Temple commitee who arranged to go to Prana Pratishtha in Ayodhya in between Saptaham. Similarly, fellow teachers Puthillam Unni Krishnan ji and Narayana Murtiji celebrated Sri Rama Maholsavam without informing my absence for the Saptaha Yagna on JAN 22 and made the Saptaha grand. Heartfelt thanks and prostrations to everyone.

Chinmaya Mission : Swami Swaroopananda was warmly welcomed by all the members of Chinmaya Mission Singapore during his recent visit to Singapore last week. Swamiji expounded on the ability to change our destiny by harnessing the power of the mind and the need to cultivate the right attitude when performing all actions. The emphasis is on having the right intention behind our actions which beautifies all our actions. During the Nirvana Shatkam morning talks Swamiji gave insights into how when the mind gets blown away i.e hushed the knowledge of the infinite, that state of enlightenment where all sorrows are blown away with the direct discovery of our nature which is realized (nirvana).  During the informal question and answer sessions and meetings with sevaks/sevikas Swamiji emphasized the need to stay inspired and keep the flame of knowledge glowing by keeping it relevant to the times and age group the sevaks/sevikas are catering to. ================================================...

=============================================================== Tuesday, 23 Jan 2024 06:25. Chapter 3: The Transmigration of the Soul:8. Post-9. ================================================================ Sankhya is the wisdom of life. This is a word that philosophers are acquainted with. It is one of the schools of philosophy. Among the six schools – Nyaya, Vaisesika, etc. – Sankhya is one. Now we are entering into a little difficult subject, the principle of Sankhya, which is actually the doctrine of the evolution of the cosmos. Unless you know where you are actually placed in this life, you cannot know what to do in this world. You are standing somewhere. You have to do something – move in this direction, or do something, or speak in a way to somebody – but nothing can be done unless you know where you are standing. Where are you, actually? Unless you know the atmosphere of your location, you will not be able to take even one step in any direction. So duty, the fulfilment of yo...
