Language: English Pages: 257 Back of the Book The Study Groups is a simple but powerful forum for individual and collective transformation. Dialogue and discussion are the ways in which scriptural knowledge has been transmitted down the centuries. Pujya Gurudev Swami Chinmayananda adapted this concept to suit modern times, thereby taking this knowledge into homes, schools, offices, and other social institutions. Through the Study Group Gurudev sought to make ordinary people extraordinary catalysts of change for a better world. At the root of this concept is the fact that deep, unshakable faith is born of understanding, assimilating, and living the timeless wisdom of the Upanisads and the Bhagavad-Gita. That alone gives rise to strong conviction, fearlessness, and true compassion. These are in place, inner and outer success is assured. This is the guarantee that Gurudev offers us, for this is a times-tested, well-chartered course to the Ultimate. Foreword Our physical strength does not depend upon how much food we eat. It depends on how much food we are able to digest and assimilate. In the same way, the strength of our spiritual knowledge depends upon how much of what we hear from our teachers is absorbed. Knowledge that has been assimilated becomes part of our personality and is reflected in our actions. When I say, "I know this, but I cannot practice it," it is evident that the knowledge has remained mere information. The means for internalizing knowledge is called mananam, or reflection, and the Study Group is centered precisely on that. After his jnana yajnas, Pujya Gurudev would advise all present to form Study Groups. He also gave them a scheme of study, so that they could go about it in a systematic manner. What is import
