LET US BE HINDUS
Swamiji’s very first address to the Poona audience at the 1st Gnana Yagna.
WHAT IS RELIGION
The science of all sciences, it guides us to the Knowledge Absolute.
VEDANTA – THE RELIGION OF DETACHMENT
Each one of you now please ask this question to yourself ”Who is this I?”
OUR RELATIONSHIP WITH THE ABSOLUTE
Let us see for ourselves what is our relationship with the Absolute.
THE PATH
We are here today to seek a source for all life, the one Reality behind all appearances.
GOD AND ME
Without Ishwara Bhakthi no progress is possible. It is an absolute necessity.
THE LAW OF KARMA
Each moment we are preparing ourselves for the lives yet to come.
FALL AND RISE OF MAN
I am using today a board and chalk since the subject is not easy.
THE UPANISHADS
The Upanishads are revelations; not the products of mind & intellect.
KENOPANISHAD
Suppose a few of you and this Sadhu go for a walk on a moonlit night...
TEACHER AND TAUGHT
To a seeker, a Guru is as absolutely an unavoidable necessity.
SELF PURIFICATION
Stop the mind! Then there is no world, Samsara. Wake yourself up. That's all.
SINCERE PURSUIT
Where can this land of Truth be? What is the world beyond the horizon?
CHAINS THAT SHACKLE
Mind and intellect are to be considered as Chappals to keep away.
THE SEER
The Knower knows the Known and it equally knows the Unknown.
MIND IS MAN
This light that illumines the mind giving a semblance of Reality is ‘Chit’.
A CAUTION
We outcasts in the Atma Loka cannot be given a direct darshan of Reality.
PURE TRUTH
You can only meditate yourself into it. The merger of "I" and "you" is possible.
THE DREAM MIRAGE
The Intellect throws a pool of reflected Atmic Glory called the Ego.
KILL THE EGO
This achievement is within the scope of every mortal; the real fulfillment of life's journey.
THE GOAL
Learn to see the one Truth that lies self-evident in all names and forms.
HERE AND NOW
Man can rise to God-hood even while he is in the body. Here and Now.
THE INNER ESSENCE
We must continue our pursuit expecting nothing, hoping nothing…
CONDITIONED BRAHMAN
The Idol is the means. Self-Discovery is the goal. Confusing the two leads to sorrow.
SELF PERFECTION TECHNIQUE
Austerity, restraint and dedicated work; these are the foundations of It.
NOTE FROM SWAMI CHINMAYANANDA
No funds to print the Kathopanishad talks.
