He Did It (The Mananam Series)

Chinmayananda

Chinmaya Mission West

Swami Chinmayananda, known the world over as Gurudev, walked, talked, and lived Vedanta. Many called him a living Scripture. This books offers a glimpse into Gurudev's spiritual vision, his teachings, and the vast legacy he left behind - the worldwide organization called Chinmaya Mission, through which the priceless knowledge of Vedanta is being taught. The first part of this book presents Gurudev's teachings of Vedanta in an engaging narrative as seen through the eyes of a seeker named Maya. Then we take a close look at the Sandeepany Sadhanalayas, the premier Institutes of Vedanta that Gurudev established for in-depth teaching of Vedanta. They are now considered to be one of his greatest contributions to the world of spiritulity. Personal stories of Sandeepany students abound, giving insight into the inspiring journeys of many who studied there. After that, we are taken on a tour through some of the many Chinmaya temples and altars around the globe. The book ends with a look at the future vision of Chinmaya Mission. A true Guru's words live on, far beyond the time he spent in embodied form. Swami Chinmayananda is destined to remain a living scripture for untold generations to come.

Vedanta: Swami Chinmayananda His Words, His Legacy

Various, Authors

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

Scripture: A Mirror

The Chinmaya Study Group

Pujya Guruji was very happy to release the 7th Book of Mananam series saying is connected to the Youth wing of CM and said that the Title is the words of Gurudev. Also Guruji said that Youth are the future of the nation and any new works to be accomplished are generally done by the Youth, just as we offer fresh flowers to the Lord, not drooping flowers. Youth is a stage where there is energy, enthusiasm and dynamism, but direction is missing.. it is most imp to give them the right direction and channelize the energy. Hence when Gurudev started the CHYK, the vision statement was ideally set as Harnessing youth potential through dynamic Spirituality. Guruji encouraged all to get a copy.
