Article Scriptures The Bhagavadgita's Message of Knowledge and Action: 7.  Swami Krishnananda (Spoken on Gita Jayanti in 1974) ======================================================================================= What is meant by saying we must be in harmony with the atmosphere and environment of our action, with all conceivable factors, in order that our action may be successful? Can we conceive all the factors? No. We are not sufficiently educated. Therefore, we fail in our action. We cannot exercise our mind to such an extent that we can understand the operation of all the factors involved in an action and, therefore, many of our actions go abortive, producing no result whatsoever. Not merely that, sometimes the result of the action that we performed comes back upon us like a boomerang and we cry, “Oh, what has happened to me? Is this the result of my good

Chinmaya Mission: Twenty-six Yuvaveers from the 14th batch of the Youth Empowerment Programme recently visited Adi Sankara Nilayam, the maternal birth home of Adi Sankaracharya, as an expression of gratitude for the great Master.  Having studied his compositions during their course, they offered Sankara Kriti Parayana, a respectful chanting of Sadhana Panchakam and Tattvabodha, led by Swamini Sampratishthananda, Br. Sudheer Chaitanya, Br. Sundar Chaitanya, Br. Ved Chaitanya, and Brni. Taarini Chaitanya.  The Parayana began with Totakashtakam, followed by mantras from both texts, and concluded with the aarti of Sri Sankaracharya. Offering Sankara Kriti Samarpanam at Adi Sankara Nilayam, where Adi Sankaracharya underwent his Vidyarambham and Upanayanam, remains a meaningful tradition for seekers honoring the Master’s profound legacy. =========================================================================================== Wednesday 30, October 2024, 06:20.

Swami Krishnananda (Gita Jayanti Message spoken on December 26, 1982.) ========================================================================================== The recorder of this great gospel, Krishna Dvaipayana Vyasa, was another miracle in himself. He was not in any way less than Sri Krishna, as we are told. According to our accepted traditional belief, great Masters like Vasishtha, Krishna, Vyasa and Suka were on an equal pedestal in knowledge and power. There is no comparison among them. And the recorder of this great gospel, which is a great mystery in itself, was also a mystery. And there are many traditions which tell us many things about the way in which the Bhagavadgita was recorded by Sri Krishna Dvaipayana Vyasa. Some say he was visualising directly what was happening and recording it then an

Chinmaya Mission:      The abundant grace of the Divine was evident as over 60 seekers gathered on the banks of Mother Ganga in Uttarkashi.  Swami Abhedananda effortlessly guided participants through the depths and heights of Advaita Vedanta.  His invigorating and transformative expositions led the campers to complete their study of Chapter Two of the Brihadaranyaka Upanishad. Attendees absorbed the meditative ambiance of Tapovan Kutir, experienced the serene darshan of Mother Ganga, and participated in the revered tradition of serving saints at the famous Sadhu Bhiksha of Uttarkashi.  Performing the Paduka Puja of Pujya Gurudev Swami Chinmayananada was a deeply profound and unforgettable experience for all, both regular and new campers alike. Swamiji unraveled the intricate mantras of the Upanishad, offering seekers a glimpse into Sri Adi Sankara's magnum opus commentary.  He led listeners on a revelatory journey through key passages, including the dialogue between Ajatashatru and
