The Holy Geeta, or the Song Celestial, is a dialogue between the Lord and a man of action set amidst the din and roar of war. The good and evil forces within are represented in the battlefield of life. Man often finds himself in a crisis, wherein he is psychologically unable to cope with the situation at hand, or even decide the right course of action. In this inner turmoil, there is a great battle between the positive and negative inclinations. The Holy Geeta portrays this great spiritual struggle within man and guides him towards his inherent divinity and positivity. In doing so, this Celestial Song explains the nature of man, his purpose in the world and the means for him to attain his hoals. In short, it is a complete manual for achieving success in life. The Holy Geeta is the heart of the great Hindu epic, the Mahabharata. It is the quintessence of the philosophy of Vedanta. This commentary on the Holy Geeta by Swami Chinmayananda is one of the finest ever written. His extremely logical explanations in contemporary and powerful language have appealed to millions of people around the world.

“O King Just as the shape of a temple does not affect the akasha (sky), the crookedness of the physical body has no effect on Atma (Soul). A wise man has Atma-drushti, in other words, he looks at the Reality behind this manifested world, whereas an ignorant one has carma-drusti in other words, he gets lost in names and forms”, said the young sage, who was expert in yoga-vidya as well as established in Self-knowledge (Atma-jnana).

Ashtavakra-gita is a short treatise on Advaita Vedanta which systematically deals with the mystical experiences of the individual in his flight to the transcendental peace and Bliss. The subtle philosophical truths are expounded in the form of a lucid dialogue between the teenager Sage Ashtavakra and his royal disciple, the King-seer Janaka.

To Ashtavakra, Self-knowledge through direct mystical intuition is the only goal to be reached and experienced in the dynamic silence of one’s own deepest meditation.

Vedanta is the science of life. It shows us the gateway to peace and happiness. To understand this subtle science, knowledge of certain terms and concepts is mandatory.

Bhagavan Shankaracharya’s Atmabodha is one such text. It is a scientific journey, throwing light on the subtle concepts present in our shastras. With striking examples and ingenious poetry he guides the reader along the path of Vedanta terminology.

A great guide for beginners and a meditation prop for advanced seekers.

Shrimad Bhagavad Gita: Chapter 1&2 21 Jun, 2018

by Swami Chinmayananda

( 38 )

₹ 159.00

"Yield not to impotence, O Partha! It does not befit thee." The first chapter of the Bhagavad-gita, is all about atmosphere - It sets the tone for the coming discourses in a dramatic fashion. Grief, it is said, can be a powerful trigger for transformation. It was so in Arjuna's case, when he lost his nerve as he stood in the middle of the battlefield. Disillusioned and in a state of emotional breakdown, he launches into a series of arguments against the war to a silent Lord Krishna. This condition of Arjuna is not new; it lies hidden within each of us and appears when we are poised to act, crippling us of our capabilities. It is for this condition that Lord Krishna provides a remedy in the following discourses that we call the Bhagavad-gita. The second chapter of the Bhagavad-Gita is what one would call a statement of intent. It begins with Arjuna totally surrendering to the Lord. The strategic and logical Lord Krishna then gives and exhaustive summary of the contents of the Gita starting by defining the logic of thought in the philosophy and then goes on to roughly sketch the different paths that lead to God - The Path of Action, The Path of Love and the Path of Renunciation. In a nutshell, it is the epitome of the entire Bhagavad-gita.

Adi Shankaracharya is among the greatest revolutionary thinkers of all time. He renewed, uplifted and restored Vaidika culture to its true greatness. He was not only the founder of a great philosophical movement but also a compassionate teacher, a tireless missionary and a brilliant poet-writer who could convey complex and profound truths in words of elegant simplicity. Bhaja Govindam is one of Adi Shankaracharya’s most beautiful works, composed in clear and effective language and addressed to simple folk struggling with the demands of life, but also capable of keeping intellectual philosophers engrossed. It is rightly described as a fragrant bouquet of verses. The clear, precise and eloquent commentary of Swami Chinmayananda adds to the fragrance of the original composition, inviting the spiritual seeker to reflect upon the meaning of the verses, attempt to understand, absorb and live the truth behind the words.

Kenopanishad: Self: Different From Known and Beyond Unknown 20 Jun, 2018

by Swami Chinmayananda

( 38 )

₹ 165.00

The path to Realisation begins with enquiry of the source or the cause of life. By what or by whom, how and why have we been imbued with Consciousness – the life-giving force – that enables us to perceive and respond in this world. An enquiry into this constitutes the subject matter of the Kenopanishad. Part prose and part poetry, the Kenopanishad is a short treatise exploring the supremacy of Brahman, the eternal Truth and the path through which the knowledge of Brahman can be realised.

Swami Chinmayananda’s erudite commentary on the kenopanishad, is peppered with humour and timeless anecdotes that paints a vivid picture and gives a modern context to this age-old wisdom.

The journey of a spiritual aspirant through contemplation is a direct and difficult path. The rushis of yore have elaborated and elucidated this teaching, particularly in the Chandogya Upanishad, of the Upadesha Mahavakya Tattvamasi – That Thou Art.

Bhagavan Adi Shankaracharya, in his utter compassion, benevolence and unique versatility, brings forth a prakarana text in verse form for the sadhakas, of the highest teaching enshrined in this thought provoking statement with its word meaning (vacyartha) and its import (lakshyartha) and the consequent dawning of Aham Brahmasmi in the sadhaka’s mind.

Swami Chinmayananda in this commentary makes a very lucid and deep analysis of the intricate and subtle thought development of the sentence ’That Thou Art’. He brings out clarity into how to understand each word of the statement and arrive at the clear meaning of the Mahavakya for us all in this beautiful dialogue between teacher and student. A great aid and blessing to all serious sadhakas on this very subjective analysis of Self – enquiry.
