Talk 79 - Verses 267-270These verses are about giving up the vasanas which do not allow our actions to transform our sense of finite Self to a realized Self.

The talk concludes with Verse 270 introducing the three types of vasanas which have to put aside by our effort Please support this channel by pressing the subscribe button or the bell and support Chinmaya Mission Mumbai

Yagnyamayaha: One who is an Embodiment of Yagnya - Sacred Sacrifice. Yagnya is the central in the Vedic culture. It purifies the environment, strengthens the Devatas or Phenomenal forces through the ahutis offered, integrates the mind of the performer, brings everyone together. All this is most auspicious. Yajnya sustains the creation. Its not polluting. Yajna symbolically means the co-operative endeavour for a selfless cause. There are also pancha mahayajnas which are mentioned in

Talk 75 - Verses 252-254These verses help the seeker to shift the identity of the Jiva to realizing the true Self. Shankaracharya ji gives examples though the verses, of the dreamer which is falsified when the waker is aware. The seeker by asserting and recognizing the pointers to Brahman quietens the mind to prepare for meditation.Please support this channel by pressing the subscribe button or the bell and support Chinmaya Mission Mumbai projects taken up by Swami Swatmananda, through

Havihi - the sacred offerings given to gods through the sacred fire while doing the sacrifice ritual Yagya. Lord Shiva is described as havi here because only through havi the gods get energy and Lord Shiva is the almighty God who gives energy to everyone (gods, humans and other creatures). In Bhagavat Geeha Chapter 4 verse 24 it is said - ब्रम्हार्पणं ब्रम्ह हविर्ब्रम्हाग्नौ ब्रम्हणा हुतम्ब्रम्हैव तेन गन्तव्यं ब्रम्हकर्मसमाधिना bramhārpaṇaṃ bramha havir bramhāgnau bramhaṇā hutam

We recorded a podcast session together on various topics ranging from Festivals, Deepavali, Vedanta, Lord Shiva etc. Was nice to reach out to a new group of seekers in a different part of the world. Though the listeners are spread across the globe, mainly they are in North America. EP is a school of interdisciplinary, contemplative education that bridges the gap between

Talk 74 - Verses 244-251These verses continue advising the seeker to keep negating and transcending the intellect; as the only means to realize the essence of God as one’s own self. By thorough understanding of the implied and indicative meaning of Tat Tvam Asi, through the scriptural study only can the seeker experience the Divine.

Somasooryaagni – lochanaha - One who has the Moon, the Sun and the Fire as His eyes. The name viroopaaksha already covered this. The Lord's eyes are described as three primary light sources. Hence the Lord is always looking at us through the Sun, the Moon and the fire. The two eyes represent the Sun(intellect) and the Moon(Mind). The third eye stands for the Fire of Knowledge which burns away ignorance. It is with this third eye that the deity of passion(kaamadeva) was burnt. The

All plurality exists due the mind’s superimposition on Brahman which manifests in various names and forms.

Paramaatmaa means the Supreme Self. He resides in everyone and controls each one. There is only One Supreme Self and it is not that many individual souls are there who have got separated from the Supreme and who will merge into the Supreme at realisation.

Talk 70 : Verses 229-233All names and forms are only modifications that the Jiva perceives through delusion. Likewise the world as we see it, is of the essence of Brahman, though we are asleep to this Supreme state. The scriptures are a testimony to this irrefutable Truth.

Indicators to the Pure Consciousness are described for a deeper understanding to the Jiva dwelling in the world of names and forms.

Trayeemoorthihi – Whose nature is the 3 Vedas. Vedas are Anadi(Beginningless), Apaurusheya(Not created by humans) and Ananta(Endless). What is the nature of the Vedas and the Lord? The Vedas are the very breath of the Lord. Vedas and the Lord are one. Vedas do not mean books. Vid means knowledge. The Lord is Jnana-svarupa.
