Sato nāva yavāś śaṅkyās tadaṁśasyā nirūpaṇāt, nāmarūpe na tasyāṁśau tayo radyā pyanud bhavāt (22).  We should not even dream that there can be limbs inside Existence because then limbs must exist, and there cannot be a differentiation in Existence itself, as if there are parts of Existence. Tadaṁśasyā nirūpaṇāt: We cannot think that perhaps there are varieties or differentiations within Pure Existence because we cannot conceive fraction, divisibility, part, segmentation, in indivisibility. Nāmarūpe na tasyāṁśau: Names and forms, the variety of creation,...

Chinmaya Mission: During the auspicious Purushottam Maas, the much-awaited Shrimad Bhagavat Saptah with Swami Abhedananda was held at Chinmaya Vibhooti, Kolwan, bringing together over 400 sadhakas from 19 states across Bharat and 7 countries. Through Swamiji’s soul-stirring satsangs, seekers immersed themselves in the divine wisdom of the Shrimad Bhagavatam and the glories of Lord Krishna. Swamiji shared profound insights for contemporary living, highlighting the importance of devotion, dedication, knowledge, and planning one’s spiritual journey from an early age in accordance with Varna-Ashrama Dharma. A recurring emphasis was placed on the value of Guru, saints, and scriptural knowledge in remaining steadfast on the path to God.

The celebrations of Ram Janma, Krishna Janma, and Krishna-Rukmini Vivaha were observed with great fervour. ...

Chapter 6: Light on the Analogy of a Painted Picture-8. 4.Isvara or the Universal God: 5. ===================================================================================================== The breaking of the knots of the heart is nothing but awareness that one is Atman essentially and hence desires convey no meaning to it. Not knowing this is confinement to the body and personality and the objects related to it. In regard to the outward activities of the body, senses and mind, the Jivanmukta and an ordinary man are similar, but the difference lies in their attitudes towards them. Whether pains come and pleasures go, or otherwise, the Jivanmukta is unaffected, and is indifferent in the highest spiritual sense of the term. The indifference of the liberated one is not to be equated with Tamas or letha...
