The Art of Man Making: Short Talks on The Bhagavad Geeta

Pujya Gurudev Swami Chinmayananda made it a priority to revive the young generation of Indians who were drifting through life without any clear goals, vision or direction. He believed that growth of the newly independent India could only be achieved by a motivated and clear-headed generation of youngsters. In order to inspire the youngsters of India and show them the possibilities of a nobler life, Gurudev delivered a series of fiery 10-minute talks on All India Radio, based on the Bhagavad-gita. He gave this ancient wisdom a contemporary context and presented in a form that was palatable and practical to the modern youngsters. Although delivered in the 1960s, these teachings are as relevant, fresh and inspiring today as they were 40 years ago.

Swami Chinmayananda, pioneered the art of conveying sublime knowledge intricately wrapped in Sanskrit scripture through the medium of English discourse and commentary.  On realising the true purpose of life he worked tirelessly and with tremendous energy for more than four decades to spread the message of Vedanta. A great writer, leader, patriot and spiritual giant, he brought about a spiritual renaissance of the Vedantic heritage to the world. A powerful orator with his own brand of wit and humour; he paints vividly the wisdom of the ages in front of us. His commentary on the Bhagavad Geeta and Upanishads are considered one of the best ever for their clarity and crisp logic.

Geeta Marathon

Amidst the glorious setting and background of the Himalayas and Pujya Gurudev’s Samadhi Sthal of Sidhbhari, Pujya Swami Swaroopananda gave us a rare treat of a marathon talk on the entire Shrimad Bhagavad Geeta in October 2015.

Testimony of one of the camp attendees in the form of a poem:

Some of us had a rare opportunity to listen to the entire Geeta during the Marathon camps at Sidhbari. Besides learning in depth the complete Geeta at a stretch which sometime may take years or even a lifetime, it also turned out to be a life transforming event and the most memorable moments of our life.

As we traversed through the battlefield of Kurukshetra with him, we gained insight into Arjuna’s dejection and the ‘Krishna cure’ that the Lord kindly prescribes.

It became uncanny that,

the battlefield was within us,

the opposing forces being the noble intentions seemingly few in number,

against the mighty façade of negative and defeating notions in our bosoms,

and there stands every Arjuna,

in no man’s land,

desperately seeking victory and yet

overwhelmed by the sheer scale of fears and doubts within,

kneeling in surrender to The Supreme for guidance,

and is lifted beyond doubt through His grace,

To fight and live gloriously,

To emerge victorious,

In this sea of time and space,

unbuoyed by the ups and downs,

clinging to the very heart of the ocean,

the eye of the storm- The Lord seen without,

To break free into the beyond,

He becomes the Lord within

Bhagwad Geeta The Lord’s Song (Set Of 6)

#TheHolyGeeta

Sampoorna Bhagavad Geeta (Hindi)

The Song of Eternity — A dialogue between Lord Krishna, the divine in us, and Arjuna, the symbol of our deluded ego (jeevabhava) — How our mental confusion, delusion, desires, passions, etc. destroy our inner peace and how to overcome them is indicated — Geeta is a consolation to the bereaved, disillusioned, disappointed, morally slipped and spiritually fallen — It is a guidance to a politician, businessman and teenagers. The grand vision of the Universe and all pervasiveness of God indicated — The secret of action pointed out — How one can step up efficiency, inner peace, concentration, usefulness to others and joy to himself is indicated — Tips for effective meditation given — Nature of the perfect man pointed out — Science of spiritual growth, spiritual fall and impotent stagnation is indicated — The beauty of the spirit and the ways of reaching the divine goal are indicated and that is the glory of Geeta.

All of us have an inborn desire for peace and happiness. But there are times in life that we experience so much inner conflict that peaceful existence just does not seem possible. It is at such times that many of us turn towards the sacred scriptures of the world for guidance. Among the ancient scriptures of India, the Bhagavad Gita holds a special place. Rich with spiritual insights and wisdom its message is universal. For centuries it has been a vast source of inspiration to all those seeking spiritual guidance.

This illuminating discourse in Hindi by Swami Tejomayananda on the entire Bhagavad Gita shows how inner wisdom enables us to maintain mental balance while dynamically acting in the world. His teachings are profound, yet simple, but above all relevant in today’s world. He guides us on how to base our choices on the vision of Oneness and Truth, so that we can revitalize and enliven every aspect of our lives.
