Shri Dakshinamurti Stotram

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.

Shrimad Bhagavata

Shrimad Bhagavata is renowned as one of the greatest compositions in Sanskrit Literature. This is the 18th Purana composed by Maharishi Veda-Vyasa, which stands unparalleled in its distinct and resplendent exaltation of devotion to God, revealing throughout the quintessence of Vedantic teachings.

Masterfully profound and delightfully enchanting, Shrimad Bhagavata abounds in work-paintings of the supreme Lord’s wondrous and endearing avatars, divine sports and devotees – paintings that kindle, intensity and establish devotion in one’s heart. This spring of devotion leads one to satsang, to the Guru and to teachings that unveil one’s essential nature of Brahman.

This video series are talks given to the 17th batch of Sandeepany Sadhanalya Vedanta students.

Shvetashvatara Upanishad

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’.

Subodha Vedanta

Generally Vedanta is considered serious, difficult, very high and very dry and that it leaves us high and dry without any support. Thus the important role of ‘Vedanta Made Easy’ (Subodha Vedänta). This dialogue between a disciple and his Guru covers important topics of life like the Nature of the Self, Proof of God and Purpose of Creation. It shows us that Vedanta is easy, interesting and practical and it is possible to free ourselves from the ‘world wide-spread web’ of maya.

Swami Tejomayanandaji expounds on his own composition in an easy-to-understand, introspective style peppered with humour. It inspires any listener to embark on an inward journey towards peace and happiness.

Taittiriya Upanishad

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.”

Tapovan Shatkam (incl. Stuti)

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

Upanishad Ganga

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.

Valmiki Ramayan Sundarkanda

The Sundarakanda forms the heart of Valmiki Ramayana and consists of a detailed, vivid account of Hanuman’s adventures. According to traditional folklore, the Ramayana has 24,000 shlokas corresponding to the 24 syllables of Gayatri mantra. The first shloka of the Sundarakanda has the 12th syllable of the 24 syllables of the Gayatri mantra, placing Sundarakanda in a way at the virtual center or the heart of Ramayana. Sundarakanda is probably the most widely read part of Ramayana. Pujya Guruji’s devotional rendering and heart melting narration is bliss to the ears.
