With a hundred verses divided into four sections, the Hymn to the Lord of Badri is a rare work of artistic elegance, of philosophical depths and of emotional beauty. Penned by the great sage, Swami Tapovanam, it presents a summary of the highest Truth, charting a clear path for the seeker to follow. Written during his sojourns to the pilgrim centre of Badrinath, the garland of hymns explores the entire spectrum of Vedanta, from discussing superimposition and negation to elaborating on the spiritual practices to be followed and the results we experience.
Pujya Guruji Swami Tejomayananda has expounded on this text for the first time at Chinmaya Vibhooti in May 2018 which will help lift us out of the morass into the divine light.

Vedanta is truly the science of life. Sankara, the great interpreter of Vedanta, not only gave us his commentaries on the Upanishads, the Brahma Sutras and the Bhagavad Gita, but also composed many primary texts that introduce the seeker to the joys of Vedanta. One of the greatest texts he has written as an introduction to Vedanta is the Vivekachudamani, which means The Crest Jewel of Discrimination.
Vivekachudamani is the cream of the Upanishads and the Bhagavad Gita. It re-educates the student in a systematic way to provide him with a new vision of life. The goal and the path are both exhaustively dealt with in this elaborate exposition of Vedanta by Sankara. Vivekachudamani contains all the guidance a sincere student needs to live a spiritual life and discover his true Self.
Pujya Guruji Swami Tejomayananda with his brilliance and wit gives a rational analysis of this sacred text, leading seekers to the knowledge and understanding of the true Self. Through these videos, you will experience the warmth and love of great master sharing his wisdom and joy and pointing towards your own divinity to help you to discover the unlimited love and light within yourself.

Shri Dakshinamurti Stotram, written by Shri Adi Shankaracharya, expounds Advaita Vedanta. It is arguably the shortest of any of his works. However, in its philosophic import, it is one of his most inspired works. In a compilation of ten stanzas there is a concise and vivid description of the philosophical significance of the form of Shiva, giving the very essence of the Indian idea of epistemology. It differs from every other attempt in a very basic sense, in that it is holistic rather than purely reductionist.

Nowhere in the world do we get such a complete study of the human personality in all its exhaustive features as in the Taittiriya Upanishad. Apart from a clear description of the five sheaths, it gives a vivid picture of the exhaustive training imparted in the educational system of the period, with instructions and advice on, how to live Vedanta in life; Taittiriya Upanishad occupies an unrivalled place in the Divine Tradition of Hinduism. The Upanishad, declares a manifesto upon the ‘Hindu way of Living’. These Commandments have a democratic Hindu touch which is the unique speciality of Hindu philosophy. “He who realises Brahman attains the Supreme Brahman – Truth, Knowledge and Infinite.”

Shvetashvatara Upanishad, an important text on Vedanta starts with a discussion on the original cause of creation. Whilst exploring concepts of time, space, nature, power, deities, heaven, karma and elements, it gives us a divine vision of viewing this multidimensional and vast world. Through beautiful mantras, we understand the role of meditation, devotion, prayer, surrender, the Guru and scriptures in our life. It mainly reveals the true nature of God/Truth and establishes our essential Oneness with Him. With the thought-provoking reflections of Swami Tejomayananda, we cannot help but come to the conclusion, ‘ I am infinite and immortal in my true nature’.

Pujya Guruji’s interpretations of Narada Bhakti Sutra dance with the nuances of an ecstatic and enduring relationship with the Lord of one’s heart that becomes the bedrock of a devotees’ 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? Joy or sorrow, it is the Lord alone for him. He will play, pray, fight and frolic only with the Lord in his hearts shrine. Go for it! Get engulfed by a relationship that lasts lifetime, riding on giant waves of beatific beauty!

Can the mortal ever become immortal? Can the mind make us immortal? Can knowledge make us immortal? Does immortality mean living forever in the body, as the body? Listen to the nectarine message of the Vedas in the Amritabindu Upanishad and enjoy its immortal Truth. Partaking even a drop of it can immortalise us. This is the assurance of sages.
Swami Tejomayanandaji’s depiction makes this immortal and subtle ambrosia simple to follow and a delight to swallow.

Upanishadic wisdom has a timeless appeal since it deals with the basic aspirations of the human being – the desire to exist, the desire to know, and the desire to be happy. Upanishads deal with the nature of the Subject, the common substratum of all objective enquiries, and go to the basic question: Who am I?
Pujya Guruji Swami Tejomayananda has conceptualised an entire Television serial titled Upanishad Ganga to bring these concepts in the form of stories. Pujya Guruji explains these concepts in detail giving the complete vision of the Upanishads in his simple and inimitable style.

Swami Tapovanam was a Mahatma, a true Vedantin of deep devotion who attained the highest spiritual realization. He chose to remain in his humble, mud-plastered one-room kutia with a small verandah in Uttarkashi. He lived away from the worldly, materialistic life, reveling in His own Self. He despised all ostentations, physical and mental. He recommended study, reflection and attempts at direct experience. Tapovanji Maharaj was the Guru of Pujya Gurudev. Tapovan Shatkam is a prayerful hymn, a salutation to this great master composed in the vocabulary of the Upanishads which invokes the Supreme Self and identifies that Self Divine with Swami Tapovanam.
In this series Pujya Guruji expounds on the saguna and nirguna svarupa of Swami Tapovanam through Tapovan Stuti and Tapovan Shatkam
