Description

BOOK ONE:

The Geeta was not preached either as a pastime for persons tired out after living a worldly life in the pursuit of selfish motives, nor as a preparatory lesson for living such worldly life, but in order to give philosophical advice as to how one should live one's worldly life with an eye to Release, Moksha and as to the true duty of human beings in worldly life.

BOOK TWO:

Every since volumes have been written explaining, expounding and interpreting this invaluable message from the Lord Himself. Gurudev Swami Chinmayananda’s Gita Yajna talks were compiled to make the classic The Holy Gita. He firmly believed that nation building could happen only through individual character building. He inspired the youth to walk the Gita path of wisdom. In today’s changed time, the message of this great spiritual manual is as relevant as it was when it was reveled.

Having heard the roar of Mother Ganga that fulfillment of any possession is in sharing it with others, Swami Chinmayananda was inspired, encouraged and re-inforced to take up the great mission of explaining the Eternal Truth scientifically and logically to a common man in the present day language. His life represents a model of one who pursued the goal with concentrated dedication demonstrating in his own life-time the secret of success.


Swami Chinmayananda was not an individual but was an Institution and more particularly the Golobal University always on wheels and wings roving around the entire wold, instilling scriptural knowledge in the people enmass and thus unfolding the steps of spiritual path through Karma Yoga, Bhakti Yoga, Dhyana Yoga and Jyana Yoga.


Swami Chinmayananda as a torch bearer of our generation has demonstrated to us as to how one can get rid of the sorrow-ridden ego-centric life to realize the Pure Self, the Abode of Bliss and Peace.


REVIEWS
Go Slow. There is no hurry. Don’t blindly believe. Question every statement. Your independent thinking and understanding are of utmost importance. Then alone our knowledge can unfold our Self.


Let not a day pass by without reading five pages of a scripture.
Be regular in your pursuits. Be sincere in your studies Be heroic enough to live what you have understood and pursue diligently, without compromises, the deep convictions that the irrefutable scriptures have taught you.
Keep Smiling! Live Life Divine! Hasten Slowly!
-Swami Chinmayananda

BOOK II-HOLY GITA READY REFERENCE

The Timeless appeared in time to give the timeless message of the Timelessness of man to a confused and broken Arjuna. The time was Karttika bahula amavasya 3141 B C.

Every since volumes have been written explaining, expounding and interpreting this invaluable message from the Lord Himself. Gurudev Swami Chinmayananda’s Gita Yajna talks were compiled to make the classic The Holy Gita. He firmly believed that nation building could happen only through individual character building. He inspired the youth to walk the Gita path of wisdom. In today’s changed time, the message of this great spiritual manual is as relevant as it was when it was reveled.

This is a humble effort to make the exhaustive work into a concise, crisp reference work. It is but a small torch to show the light of wisdom to seekers who would walk on this difficult, yet much trodden path.

Pujya Gurudev Swami Chinmayananda was a master orator and would hold his audience by the power of his speech and his fiery delivery: he was the essence of compassion and love; he was the logician, captivating his audience with his incisive analysis of the human plight. He was also the artiste, drawing word pictures with his graphic descriptions. Above all, he was a Man of Wisdom and teacher par excellence, who strove to bring home to people an awareness of themselves and their efforts.

A lady once came up to Pujya Gurudev after a discourse and happily said to hi, Gurudev, do you know, I have gone through all the 18 chapters of the Bhagavad Gita 18 times. Pujya Gurudev smiled his wise smile and asked her, Has the Gita gone through you at least once?

We hope this book will help you, dear reader, to welcome the Bhagavad gita and its wisdom into your life as you strive to walk the Gita path.
