The good and evil forces within are represented in the battlefield of life.

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.

“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.

Narada Bhakti Sutra 20 Jun, 2018

by Swami Chinmayananda

( 80 )

₹ 130.00

“Love is a link that connects, a force that attracts, a fascination that seizes, and a clasp that grasps. Therefore, when one establishes himself in the relationship of devotion with the Divine, he steps up into a realm of his own, having his own enchantments and personal experiences.”

Swami Chinmayananda’s commentary on Narada Bhakti Sutra dances with the nuances of an ecstatic and enduring relationship with the Lord of one’s heart that becomes the bed-rock of a devotee’s life. This Divine Love is all-consuming, yet purging and freeing in its impact.

The devotee trusts the Lord like a friend, cherishes Him like a child and is faithful to Him like a wife.

Where then is the need or the place for any other worldly relationship?
