Without steadiness in knowledge, the weakness of just one sense organ can cause one’s downfall. Despite hearing the Geeta, we often are unsteady in the conviction of Krishna’s words and allow the mind to get carried away by sense objects, disobeying the intellect’s guidance! Swamiji beautifully illustrates this through the significance of the Satyanarayana Katha.

Without clear understanding that all that we seek outside is not going to bring us the peace we seek, the mind will always be restless. Swamiji delves deep into our mind’s flawed logic and tendency to dwell on the objects we desire. He also clearly illustrates the journey from agitation to quietness in the mind that we repeatedly go on when pursuing our desires.

The entire Geeta Marathon by Swami Swaroopananda can be caught at https://clix.chinmayamission.com/product/geeta-marathon/

It is not that every object attracts us, but depending on our likes and dislikes that the mind develops a desire for certain objects. Taking our mind through the shopping malls of the world around us, Swamiji clearly illustrates how in the peaceful mind of one who has given up strong likes and dislikes, the seeds of their vasanas get completely roasted!

The entire Geeta Marathon by Swami Swaroopananda can be caught at https://clix.chinmayamission.com/product/geeta-marathon/

Obsessive desire for anything constitutes lust. Lust when obstructed leads to anger, and this anger deludes us, causing us to lose our ability to discriminate between what is real and unreal. Swamiji illustrates this through an anecdote in the Ramayana, driving home the clear ways in which our desire for the world outside carries us swiftly down the ladder of fall!

The entire Geeta Marathon by Swami Swaroopananda can be caught at https://clix.chinmayamission.com/product/geeta-marathon/

The mind is easily coloured by sense pleasures and the intellect often justifies indulgence, but Krishna explains how an intellect dedicated to a higher goal can lovingly inspire the mind to master, and not just suppress, the senses. Swamiji also introduces Krishna’s famous ‘ladder of fall’ to help us understand how the uncontrolled mind leads us further away from our ultimate goal!

How much can one abstain from all the temptations of the world?

When we stay away from the temptations, they eventually turn away from us too. However, Krishna reminds us that the memory of the pleasures continues to tempt even the most intelligent of us! Having withdrawn the senses, the mind must be alert, vigilant and directed into deeper contemplation of the Truth.

Krishna paints this delicate word-picture of a person of perfection on the canvas of Arjuna’s mind. He even anticipates Arjuna’s queries and begins to eliminate them! How can one so easily withdraw from the world? In today’s episode, Swamiji eloquently explains Krishna’s beautiful metaphor comparing the tortoise and the sthitaprajna!

The entire Geeta Marathon by Swami Swaroopananda can be caught at https://clix.chinmayamission.com/product/geeta-marathon/

Swamiji clearly points out how our raga (attachment), leads to bhaya (fear) and krodha (anger), and the stithaprajna is free from them. Their mind is not dependent on any outer object, hence the level of detachment which they operate from.

The person of perfection also sees beyond ‘good’ and ‘bad’, neither complains nor praises, and is ever fixed in knowledge of Brahman in all as all.

The entire Geeta Marathon by Swami Swaroopananda can be caught at https://clix.chinmayamission.com/product/geeta-marathon/

With a variety of tales, Swamiji explains the self-satisfied nature of one who is equanimous.

We hear of the sthithaprajna’s unshakeable mental attitude towards joys and sorrows, who accepts all that falls in their lap as the Lord’s grace, and has no fear, attachment or anger towards the world and people around them.

The entire Geeta Marathon by Swami Swaroopananda can be caught at https://clix.chinmayamission.com/product/geeta-marathon/

Having heard of this state of ease, Arjuna is curious to understand such a person of perfection. To the untrained ear, his questions may seem childish, but Krishna understands these prattling questions from His student and begins by speaking of the knowledge the sthitaprajna is rooted in.

Moksha is not freedom from action but freedom in action. When we intelligently let go of attachment to the results of actions, we gain freedom from bondage of birth and de ath. Swamiji breaks down the psychology of our attachment to the fruits of our efforts despite the suffering that we inflict on ourselves by that very attachment, and how we can reach our original state of ease.

The entire Geeta Marathon by Swami Swaroopananda can be caught at https://clix.chinmayamission.com/product/geeta-marathon/

The benefit of the Geeta is to be experienced here and now. With amusing anecdotes, Swamiji clarifies how we can act in love and dedication. Applying the practice of karma yoga in whatever we do, enriches our work with efficiency and brings us peace and equanimity, regardless of the results that follow.

The entire Geeta Marathon by Swami Swaroopananda can be caught at https://clix.chinmayamission.com/product/geeta-marathon/

A restless mind leads to an inefficient intellect, leading to nothing but more suffering! Doing our best and accepting the fruits of our action as the just results, regardless of whether it is what we desire or not, ensures a balanced mind. Swamiji elaborately explains the benefits of performing our duties with this attitude (and the downside of not!)

The entire Geeta Marathon by Swami Swaroopananda can be caught at https://clix.chinmayamission.com/product/geeta-marathon/

Swamiji distils the knowledge of Karma Yoga to explain how we can come to liberate ourselves. He shares the approach we should take to doing our duties such that we can remain steadfast in yoga - ever peaceful and balanced with an equanimous mind.

Krishna urges the seeker to go beyond the three modes of nature (gunas). By staying centred in the Self, we can remain free from the pairs of opposites that are part of life and instead come to experience completeness.

The entire Geeta Marathon by Swami Swaroopananda can be caught at https://clix.chinmayamission.com/product/geeta-marathon/

Krishna advises the seeker to not get carried away with elaborate actions. We cannot fulfil ourselves by pursuing actions that can only give us finite results. Swamiji shares how we should work towards a higher goal, free of desire, so as to be able to reach the highest state of peace and happiness.

The entire Geeta Marathon by Swami Swaroopananda can be caught at https://clix.chinmayamission.com/product/geeta-marathon/

As we gain spiritual knowledge, many paths and many goals appear to be taught over the ages. How to know which will lead us to our goal? Swamiji explains how the flowery words of various ‘religious’ practices promise only temporary pleasures, not allowing the mind to become peaceful, perpetually distracting the mind!

The entire Geeta Marathon by Swami Swaroopananda can be caught at https://clix.chinmayamission.com/product/geeta-marathon/

In Karma Kand, if we don’t complete actions in the proper order, despite our efforts, we may not benefit from it and even gain the opposite of our desired outcome! Krishna, the expert salesman, shows us how Buddhi Yoga solves this problem of Karma Kand. Not only that, the efforts we put in will always lead us closer to our goal, when there is love in action.

The entire Geeta Marathon by Swami Swaroopananda can be caught at https://clix.chinmayamission.com/product/geeta-marathon/

Working with the right attitude, the right Buddhi, can help us gain knowledge of the Truth.

By acting without the input of our own likes and dislikes, the mind becomes calm and unites us with the Buddhi, the means to gain knowledge. Gradually, we begin to work with our intelligence in tune with our higher Ideals, purifying us with each action we undertake!

The entire Geeta Marathon by Swami Swaroopananda can be caught at https://clix.chinmayamission.com/product/geeta-marathon/

Swamiji elaborates on Krishna’s advice to ‘work for the sake of working’ to prevent creating newer vasanas, and shares the importance of knowledge of the Self through an amusing story from Swamiji’s time in Hong Kong!

He also introduces the upcoming concept of Buddhi Yoga that Shri Krishna shares with Arjuna.

The entire Geeta Marathon by Swami Swaroopananda can be caught at https://clix.chinmayamission.com/product/geeta-marathon/

Using a charming anecdote with Gurudev Swami Chinmayananda, Swamiji illustrates our folly in understanding what Paapa or Sin is. Anything that creates agitation in the mind is considered sin and Swamiji goes on to clarify what it truly means in the context of our scriptures and in how we behave in our daily life!

The entire Geeta Marathon by Swami Swaroopananda can be caught at https://clix.chinmayamission.com/product/geeta-marathon/

Arjuna running away would not only bring him infamy, but it would allow anyone and everyone to criticise his power. Krishna further explains that regardless of whether he slays or is slain in battle, Arjuna only stands to gain by fighting, as is his duty! Swamiji also gives us a great tool with which we can apply Krishna’s words to our own conflicts in life.

Geeta Chapter 2 Verse 34 - An Honourable Death over an Infamous Life

Infamy to a respectable person is worse than death, says Krishna. With Arjuna, the scandal of his escapism would live forever! Swamiji drives this point home with a host of examples from the war by which Arjuna and those whom he killed attained fame, because of their steadfastness in their duties.

The entire Geeta Marathon by Swami Swaroopananda can be caught at https://clix.chinmayamission.com/product/geeta-marathon/

Arjuna is stuck viewing the war from his emotional lens, thinking what would happen to his reputation if he won against his family. Krishna comes down to his level and reminds him that with fame, responsibility to maintain the capability that brought fame arises!

Swamiji explains that when we don’t live up to the fame gained from performing our duty, we incur sin by moving away from our swadharma.

The entire Geeta Marathon by Swami Swaroopananda can be caught at https://clix.chinmayamission.com/product/geeta-marathon/

Swamiji illustrates how one’s swadharma expresses itself no matter what with a humorous anecdote with Gurudev Swami Chinmayananda. If we don’t express our own swadharma, we cannot work with efficiency and a sense of fulfilment. When life gives us opportunities to live out our swadharma, we must seize them, for they will open many doors for us!

The entire Geeta Marathon by Swami Swaroopananda can be caught at https://clix.chinmayamission.com/product/geeta-marathon/

Our karma (work) is an expression of our swadharma (personality). Arjuna’s duty is to fight and protect his country and Krishna reminds him of this. Swamiji teaches us to look at our swadharma and what work we inherently want to engage in, by which we can exhaust our vasanas and purify our mind!

The entire Geeta Marathon by Swami Swaroopananda can be caught at https://clix.chinmayamission.com/product/geeta-marathon/

We all have physical, emotional, intellectual and spiritual personalities with different needs and desires, curating our swadharma, our individual duty. The same situation outside is also processed by them differently. Arjuna, like us all, sees the battle only physically and emotionally. Krishna now begins to guide us through these four levels to help resolve our own internal conflicts.

The entire Geeta Marathon by Swami Swaroopananda can be caught at https://clix.chinmayamission.com/product/geeta-marathon/

Swamiji illustrates that the texture of the water will determine the quality of the reflection of the Sun reflected in it. Similarly, as our mind and vasanas, so our expression of the Divinity within us. When we decide to clear the water, we add a purifier to it, and when we aim to purify our mind, we must add inspiration from the Higher into our minds.

The Atma in discussion remains a wonder to all, be one a scholar or a dullard. Even more wonderful is the Master who can explain to us what words fall short of describing! With His characteristic examples, Swamiji explains how the subtleness of the Atma and Jiva can be understood.

The entire Geeta Marathon by Swami Swaroopananda can be caught at https://clix.chinmayamission.com/product/geeta-marathon/

Continuing these important verses of the Geeta, Krishna reiterates to Arjuna that there is no need to grieve. Birth and death is inevitable to the body but O Arjuna, realise that the relatives you grieve for are not the body but the eternal, unchangeable, imperishable Atma (Self).

The entire Geeta Marathon by Swami Swaroopananda can be caught at https://clix.chinmayamission.com/product/geeta-marathon/

In this very important verse from the Bhagavad Geeta, Krishna shares a powerful analogy of how the jiva (soul) casts off the body and takes a new one just like how one would shed off old garments and wear new ones. Swamiji delves into the law of action and reaction as he sheds more light into this nuanced topic.

The entire Geeta Marathon by Swami Swaroopananda can be caught at https://clix.chinmayamission.com/product/geeta-marathon/

We live in the delusion that we are this body. Swami Swaroopananda guides us to recognise the perishable and changing nature of this body. He urges us to instead identify with the Atma - the Self; that is unborn, undying and cannot be destroyed by anyone or anything.

The entire Geeta Marathon by Swami Swaroopananda can be caught at https://clix.chinmayamission.com/product/geeta-marathon/

Krishna shares pivotal verses that will support a spiritual seeker in their meditation. He reiterates the nature of one’s Self as that which is changeless and the eternal Truth that pervades everything. Krishna urges Arjuna to get up and recognise that which is imperishable.

Krishna continues to help Arjuna cultivate a higher viewpoint from which he can see how small his problems truly are, giving him the strength and wisdom to be able to solve them, rather than run away. Swamiji breaks down Krishna’s words about this new vision and guides us on how we can cultivate it ourselves.

All our experiences, happy or sad, have a beginning and an end. But the more we complain about what we cannot change, the more the sorrow and pain magnify!

When the mind is disturbed by sorrow, we brood over the change and become more easily influenced by future fluctuations. In forbearing the changes in the world outside, we can gradually come to identify with the changeless within us.

We experience the world around us as pairs of opposites, giving us joy or sorrow, based on our likes and dislikes. When our sense organs come into contact with the sense objects, then only do we experience these dualities, just as when we touch electricity, we get the shock! In this episode, Swamiji teaches us the secret to overcoming these ‘shocks’ around us!

To comfort Arjuna’s grief, Krishna reveals the truth of how there never was a time when any of us did not exist. The ‘I’ Krishna speaks of is the Self of everybody, not the individual ego-centric identity we associate with. Understanding the permanence of the one true Self is a hallmark of the wise student of the Bhagavad Geeta!

The cause of our sorrow is our false expectations born of misunderstanding one thing to be something else. Identifying with the individual ego, we grieve for the natural phenomenon of death, and lose sight of our Dharma. Knowledge of what Dharma is lifts us out of sorrow, and here Krishna, the Jagad-Guru, establishes Dharma by taking Arjuna as His disciple.

Through his signature storytelling, Swamiji illustrates the paths of Shreyas and Preyas - goodness and pleasure. Arjuna’s humility helps him open up to Krishna’s guidance, demonstrating an ideal disciple’s character and surrender. Krishna begins His song with a gentle scolding of Arjuna’s misery and Swamiji gives us a short, but powerful lesson from Krishna’s first words of the Geeta.

Swamiji explains that the notions of “I” and “mine” arise when we don’t know who we truly are, leading us to misidentify our swadharma. Arjuna's response to Krishna reveals this, when he seeks to abandon his duty as a warrior to live a renunciate’s life to avoid the war. Arjuna’s outburst peaks when he surrenders to Krishna and enquires into what will lead him to the greatest good.

Grief like Arjuna’s leads one to enquire into what is the cause of one’s sorrow. How can we find permanent solutions to our problems and gain shreyas - the supreme good?

Swami Swaaroopananda explains how Krishna begins by calling out Arjuna’s despondency as ignoble and un-Aryan, in an attempt to prod at his pride and shake him out of self-pity.

As we do our Japa of the Gāyatrī Mantra, the mind quietens.  We must deepen our Sādhana by contemplating that Truth which the Mantra is indicating. In this concluding episode, Swamiji explains how the Mantra reveals to us our true nature, that of Existence (Sat), Consciousness (Cit) and Bliss (Ānanda)!

The 3 vyāhrtis Bhūh, Bhuvaḥ and Svaḥ, prefix the Gāyatrī Mantra, which Ādi Śaṅkararacharya tells us indicate the nature of the Truth. Oṃ, with which the Mantra begins, is the subtlest of all symbols for, and is the closest indicator of that same Truth. Swamiji gives us further insight into Oṃ, distilled from the vast knowledge of the Upaniṣads.

In this episode, we hear from Swami Swaroopananda about Ādi Śaṅkararacharya’s commentary on the Gāyatrī Mantra, which tells us that the Gāyatrī Mantra reveals the truth about the relationship between the Jivatma and Paramatma. Swamiji breaks down the meaning of each word of the Mantra, taking us deeper in contemplation on the divine Gāyatrī Mantra!

The vibrations of the Gāyatrī Mantra create the right mental atmosphere so we can gain the right knowledge to overcome our limitations. Swamiji explains how understanding the Mantra can lead us to know the Truth of our eternal nature.

The Gāyatrī Mantra illustrates the brilliant values and qualities the Sun embodies, and gives an ideal to aspire to. Swamiji shines a light on how regular Japa (chanting) of the Gāyatrī Mantra leads us to develop a calm, concentrated, devoted mind, in which all noble values can be cultivated. As our practice of Gāyatrī Japa deepens, our intelligence gains clarity and our knowledge deepens.

Swami Swaroopananda goes further into the profound significance of the Upanayana Samskara and the inspiration it provides us with. Swamiji gives us a brief definition of the Gāyatrī Mantra and the inner significance of a Vedic tale told at the time of the receiving the Gāyatrī Mantra - blending tradition with science in his characteristic storytelling style!

Intelligence is not purely genetic, it is something that can be invoked and cultivated. Swami Swaroopananada talks about the tradition of the Upanayana Samskara, its significance and how the initiation into the Gayatri Mantra was given in childhood. This tradition facilitated the development of the intellect and prepared students for the highest knowledge - something we can still aspire to today!

Dive deeper into the science of the Gayatri Mantra is to understand how by chanting this Mantra properly, our mental impurities are removed and our mind can be attuned to the vibrations of eternal knowledge and power in the universe. Swamiji explains how the Gāyatrī Mantra reveals to us Dharma, the means to reach the Ultimate Goal, the Infinite, Eternal Bliss!

When faced with the challenges thrown at us by the world, our minds can be our greatest asset or a cause of sorrow. To help strengthen and purify the mind, the ancient Rishis (seers) gave us the Gāyatrī Mantra, found in the Vedas. Swami Swaroopananda gives us the background into the origins and deep significance of this popular mantra. Swamiji clearly articulates how we can use it to tune the mind so that the mysteries and the powers of the universe are revealed to us.

Arjuna continues to justify his pacifism, telling Krishna that by killing a whole generation of men, the Vedic culture would be lost for future generations to follow. He even goes on to say he would rather the Kauravas kill him unarmed! Swami Swaroopananda talks about how Arjuna’s words have become today’s reality and reminds us to rise and take back our cultural heritage and pride.

The family unit ensured that family traditions were passed down through the generations. As time goes by, we see this unit gradually decline, leading to great loss in cultural values. Drawing on real life situations, ranging from the collapse of the traditional joint family, to intercultural marriages, Swamiji shows us how the Geeta can help reconcile today’s generation gap.

When we want to escape a situation we have to justify our own minds/our desires, to make it seem like we are much greater than we actually are. Arjuna’s first argument against fighting is the breakdown of the family unit. Using modern society’s example, Swami Swaroopananda shows us how this argument has manifested itself today in the form of failing welfare systems and national debts!

Arjuna’s identification with the Kauravas as his family blinds him from seeing that his real duty lies in ensuring Dharma is upheld no matter what. He misquotes the scriptures to try and justify his misplaced compassion. Swamiji reminds us that punishment is for correction, not revenge, and knowing our duties clearly prevents us from getting carried away by our attachments.

In moments of mental weakness, the bigger picture gets distorted as we zoom into our personal gains or losses in a situation. We even start to deny our true intentions, attempting to appear compassionate.
Swami Swaroopananda guides us to see what our mind denies, because in denial is our desire expressed. Only upon recognising those desires, can we actually do something about them!

When the mind is overwhelmed by emotion, the body too may not be able to function properly. A cloudy mind is unable to see clearly any long-term benefit, and justifies weakness with superficial nobility. As Swamiji paints the picture of Arjuna speaking to Shri Krishna on his chariot, we see all these effects manifest in our hero - a reflection of our own mind!

Swami Swaroopananda expounds on how in the face of challenging situations the mind gets clouded by emotions, interfering with the intellect’s decision-making process. While Duryodhana projects his fears on to his Guru, Arjuna does the opposite, expressing all his emotions to Shri Krishna. Swamiji explains how by following in Arjuna’s footsteps, we can tap into the wisdom of the Geeta.

As Arjuna faces his family on the other side of the battlefield, he expresses strong emotional reactions. Swamiji explains how we face similar Arjuna-situations in life and take to misplaced compassion. Through the wisdom of the Geeta we can grow to realise what true compassion really means.

Arjuna’s command to Krishna brings him face-to-face with the Kuru army on the battlefield, and when the devotee ‘commands’ the Lord, delusion is sure to result. Swamiji elaborates on the delusion faced by all of us, as seen in the case of Arjuna, and tells us how spiritual knowledge equips us to achieve success in the truest sense.

Swami Swaroopananda gives us the fascinating history of how Krishna became Arjuna’s charioteer, and how Hanuman came to sit on his flagstaff. Wishing to view the armies of both sides and view those he must fight with, Arjuna tells Krishna to bring him to the middle of the battlefield. What a thrilling moment after all the tumult of the war instruments!

In today’s episode, Swamiji gives us the beautiful vision of Shri Krishna and Arjuna on the battlefield, along with the Pandava army, as they blow their conch shells.

Continuing with Duryodhana’s monologue with Drona, we see Duryodhana’s weak & self-centered personality express itself in his elaborate description of the Pandava army and the miniscule mention of his own army’s heroes. The war is declared with Bhishma’s blowing of his conch shell, and Swami Swaroopananda brings the awe-inspiring vastness of the battlefield alive in his characteristic narration style.

In times of adversity, our true character and personality is revealed. Through the lens of Duryodhana and his words to his Guru Drona, Swami Swaroopananda gives us insight into the workings of a mind full of fear, pride and negativity towards others. A cautionary tale if we ever heard one!

Sanjaya responds to Dhritarashtra’s question about what happened at Kurukshetra by first narrating Duryodhana’s reaction to viewing the Pandava army. Duryodhana approaches his Guru Drona with arrogance, teaching us an invaluable lesson in how not to behave with our teachers!

Swami Swaroopananda sets the scene between King Dhritarashtra and his minister, Sanjaya on the tenth day of the Mahabharata war. The blind king’s question opens the first chapter of the Geeta, giving us a deep insight into the psychology of the human mind! Swamiji invites us to use the question to reflect on how we also blindly live our lives.

Today we journey with Swami Swaroopananda into inspiring memories of Pujya Gurudev Swami Chinmayananda’s first ever Marathon Bhagavad Geeta camp in Sidhbari, at the foothills of the Himalayas. Swamiji goes on to explain how the knowledge of the Geeta can transform each and every one of us, effectively creating the change we wish to see in the world.

The irony of life is that we expect permanent joy in an ever-changing world and remain disappointed. Is it really possible to be free of sorrows? Swami Swaroopananda in this premier episode shares how the Geeta holds the answers to a life of fulfilment. Swamiji also shares his own journey into the Geeta and the inspiration behind the Bhagavad Geeta Marathon Yagna.

Swamiji summarises Krishna’s Powerful Instructions in this final talk. This series of talks have summarised the entirety of the Bhagawad Gita, guiding us in a practical and clear manner on how to strive to achieve that Infinite bliss. Reminding us that desire, lust, anger and greed are sure ways to suffering, Swamiji guides us on how to free ourselves from this bondage, through surrendering to the Lord and gaining knowledge. The knowledge we gain from the shastras will allow us to determine what is right and wrong. When we live life according to this scriptures, we become fit for the highest Truth. It is abidance in this Truth, that will lead us to Infinite bliss, to eternal happiness.

Often we experience difficulty reaching our goals. This practical talks shows us the means to integrate our minds and intellect, a key method by which we can achieve success. Our mind, because it is full of desires and distractions, often deters us from reaching our goals. However, when the mind and intellect are integrated and remain focused on the Truth, we recognise that we can achieve anything because we are not limited, but we are part of the Infinite. To bring about this integration, we need to focus on positive values and work on removing our pride, ignorance and ego. When all our actions are devoted to the Lord, the ego is dropped and integration can take place. With an integrated mind and intellect, anything is achievable!

Why worry? Shri Krishna reminds us time and time again that for His devotees there is no reason to worry. His devotees shall never perish. How do we keep reminding ourselves that we are always protected? Swamiji reminds us that even those who have committed multiple sins, when they turn their mind to the Divine, they are transformed. When that person experiences a sense of Oneness with the Lord, they experience eternal peace. Once one has surrendered completely to God, there is nothing to worry about.

As our mind, so is our experience of the world. As our mind, so our thoughts, our actions and our results. The entire world we experience is through the mind, so if our mind is miserable, everything appears miserable. Then how do we master this mind? Swamiji guides us clearly on developing a single pointed, meditative mind that can achieve magnificence. When our thoughts are scattered our energy is dissipated. Instead, if one’s thoughts are directed towards a Higher goal and focused on the Lord, revelling in positive thinking, one can manifest greatness.

Happiness is our true nature, our birth right yet why are we always searching for it? Swamiji takes us through a logical explanation, showing us how due to ignorance, we keep searching for happiness externally. When we do this, we often experience lust, anger, greed and as a result we deprive ourselves of peace and balance. Krishna’s Powerful Instructions in this talk demonstrates how best to manage anger and greed. Emphasis is placed on the need to calm our minds and discriminate between right and wrong. Most importantly, we are empowered to take control of our own happiness; as Shri Krishna clearly says “lift yourself by yourself” and make your mind one that is conducive to achieving happiness.

When a student is attuned to her Guru, even a spark of knowledge can lead to realisation of the Self. What qualities are needed to become a fit student? An attitude of humility, an enquiring mind and a willingness to serve are all prerequisites to gaining knowledge. This knowledge must come from a Guru. One that is versed in the science of this knowledge, who lives this knowledge, not merely one who has knowledge from books. This knowledge resulting in equanimity of mind, gives us the ability to perform our duties and stand up to challenges in life.

In our eternal quest for happiness, we look to objects to fulfil us. Yet, these temporary moments of joy we experience do not provide long term satisfaction. How do we rid ourselves of these struggles which only provide short term gains? Swamiji clearly articulates how we should remain in a sattvic frame of mind; by ensuring all actions are done as an offering to the Lord. With this attitude, we are not fixated on the result of the action. The moment we are fixated on the result of any particular action, it breeds in us anxiety. Instead, Krishna’s Powerful Instruction reminds us to act with an attitude of service and love, resulting in all our actions becoming inspiration and efficient. This is meditation in action!

How do we deal with the situations that life constantly throws at us? Krishna’s Powerful Instruction tells us to change what we can and have the strength and forbearance to deal with what we can’t change. With this simple but empowering instruction, we are given the tools to deal with any situation that arises. Keeping the attitude that this too shall pass away, no situation is too much to bear. As a result of this forbearance and strength, one experiences less sorrow and more joy, something we are eternally looking for!

Swami Swaroopananda starts this powerful series of talks by sharing the secret of happiness, which has been unfolded in the Upanishads. The first of Krishna’s Powerful Instructions reminds one that the choice to be happy is in our control. Despite the mind being full of emotions, anxieties and fears,  Shri Krishna calls on us to choose happiness and not give in to despondency. Swamiji shares practical instructions on how to face life and awaken the ability in us to achieve greatness.

Just like peeling back the layers of a flower, if one can slowly peel back all the layers, the Atman will be revealed. The body, mind and intellect are covering it yet with self effort, through detachment and discrimination one can uncover this Truth and revel in bliss. Any being who strives to live like Nachiketa can also achieve and realise this Truth.

At the start of a spiritual seeker’s journey, desires have to be given up with will and effort. For the realised person, the desires leave him without effort. When a seeker is prepared and the knowledge takes place, the bliss that remains removes all desires. Kathopanishad instructs one to cut the knots of the heart. When these knots of ignorance, desires, actions are cut, this seeker realises he is immortal. When ignorance is removed, everything else drops away and immortality remains!

YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/ChinmayaChannel/

Having heard the means of knowledge, listen to Swami Tejomayananda expand on meditation. Meditation is withdrawal of the mind and turning the mind’s attention towards itself. When the senses, mind and intellect become still, the mind is not wishing for anything, the senses are not perceiving and the intellect is not judging. It is not the same as deep sleep! It is a conscious withdrawal. Once a person has seen this Truth, the knowledge is never lost. That person can continue to function in the world but ignorance is no longer. Faith is integral to this process. Faith in the knowledge, the Guru and existence of Truth.

YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/ChinmayaChannel/

Although the Atman is unknown to us now, is it unknowable? Can we experience it via our senses or through perception? The Atman does not fall within the range of our sense perception. Kathopanishad shares the method of gaining this knowledge; listening, reflecting and then meditating. The student needs a purified mind and to have gained knowledge from a Guru. When a qualified student approaches the teacher, the Guru gives the knowledge. That is called Shravanam. Once we have heard, Mananam or reflection is required to  slowly reduce the mind’s attention from external objects to the internal. And finally, meditation.

YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/ChinmayaChannel/

One lives as though life will last forever. Yet we have no idea when we will face death. Knowing this, one should focus on gaining knowledge in this life and not wait until the next! Even if the efforts do not lead to realisation, the results of our efforts will lead to a purified mind and gaining knowledge. Devotion to the Guru is a perfect way by which to purify the mind. Don’t wait. Do it now. Here and now – this is the best place, best time to purify the mind. Just like a clean mirror shows shining reflections, a purified mind allows one to clearly realise the Truth.

YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/ChinmayaChannel/

The whole world, the forces of nature, our bodies, they all function in harmony with the laws of nature. By seeing the effects of the laws of nature, we are led back to the cause.  Samsaara is likened to the tree which can be cut down, through developing vairagya and viveka. This Samsaara we experience is only there because of our ignorance of our true nature. Once we see that there is a cause behind every effect, we see that it is Ishvara who is the cause behind everything.

YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/ChinmayaChannel/

Swami Tejomayananda states clearly that there should be no doubt about whether one can experience this Truth. Instead of asking “can I experience this?”, ask how can I experience it. Try to understand this Truth instead of simply thinking “I don’t understand”. By knowing It, does one find fulfilment in life.

YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/ChinmayaChannel/

What is the result of gaining knowledge of the Self? That person experiences abiding, everlasting bliss. Regularly, we get what we want and we experience some short term peace. Yet the peace and bliss gained from knowledge is everlasting. The more we look for this peace externally, the more we struggle and the more we are keeping ourselves separate from it.

YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/ChinmayaChannel/

How to explain the nature of this Atmatattva (essential nature of the Self)? Swami Tejomayananda gives a number of vivid examples to remind us that this Atman is everywhere. It is not energy, it is consciousness which manifests as life. Air does not have any particular shape, it takes the form of its containers. For example, when you blow a balloon, you breathe in air which is transferred to the balloon and then back to space when the balloon bursts. Just like this, the Atman is the same in all of us and is expressed as many because of the many Jivas and upadhis that exist. Again the Rishis remind us to wake up to the one alone that is appearing as many, that One is what you are.

YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/ChinmayaChannel/

Nachiketa wanted to hear more. What happens after death? The body becomes one with the elements yet what happens to the jiva? With self effort, we can impact this jiva’s journey. Kathopanishad points out that it is so very rare to get a human body, with a desire for spiritual knowledge. This wonderful life is because of all the past work we have done. Difficulties in life will always exist but do not brood over problems. If everything is always good, you never understand the totality of life. Everything is a learning opportunity. Abide in noble qualities; noble thoughts, devotion and knowledge. We can always beautify, sanctify and improve. We must count our blessings!

YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/ChinmayaChannel/

How do we know that the Self is separate from the body? Kathopanishad clarifies that man does not live purely because he breathes. Instead, Swami Tejomayananda elaborates on what causes bodies to function.  In every body, there is an individual jiva. When the jiva leaves the body, what remains? The functions of the body stop. This implies that there is something other than the body that causes it to function. The physical, physiological and senses work only because they are enlivened by Him, clarifying that the Atmatattva is separate from the body.

YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/ChinmayaChannel/

Why do I continue to feel bound if this Atman (the Self) is liberated? Even though the Atman is free, since I do not know it, I feel I am bound. However a precious thing you may have, the joy is only in knowing its preciousness. If I have a diamond ring, the joy is not there if I do not know it is a diamond. Similarly if I do not know myself, there is no joy. Once I realise the Self, there is only bliss.

YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/ChinmayaChannel/

Kathopanishad shares that the same consciousness that is there today will be there tomorrow. This consciousness does not change and is one and the same everywhere. Yet, we are unable to see this oneness. Instead we see differences, which in turn cause likes and dislikes, indifference or love, meaning we experience a range of emotions. Once we see past these differences, the experience will be one of only joy. The joy we think is true joy, it just isn’t.

YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/ChinmayaChannel/

There is an actor in a play. The actor knows he is playing a role. If he starts to identify fully with the role he is playing, he will lose sight of who he really is. Similarly, Swami Tejomayananda reminds us that we too are playing a role and shouldn’t lose sight of who we are. Once we understand that this Chaitanya in Its pure form is in the body, is the same Chaitanya that is present everywhere, we need not go searching elsewhere. Instead, this Truth can be experienced through a purified, cultured, disciplined mind, which has remained close to a Guru. One has to put in a certain amount of effort and then let the magic happen!

YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/ChinmayaChannel/

Kathopanishad shares that there are two types of people; one is action oriented and one is knowledge oriented. For example, in the spiritual field, there are those who are interested in rituals and those who are interested in enquiry, in the nature of the truth. Just like the pujari keeps the fire alive, the knowledge of the seeker should be kept alive. This inner lamp of knowledge should not be put out. Kathopanishad reminds us to be alert.

YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/ChinmayaChannel/

Swami Tejomayananda reminds us of one of the most powerful outcomes of understanding this Truth; we become fearless. As long as one identifies with the body, mind and intellect, one remains in fear of numerous things, health, wealth, loss of power etc. Yet the cause of fear is ignorance and wrong notions. When a person enquires and recognises his true nature the cause of fear is removed. Once we recognise that our true nature is infinite, we are freed.

YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/ChinmayaChannel/

Can an inert object know another inert object? Can the body, senses or mind know themselves? Kathopanishad sheds light on the true Knower. The Chaitanya which is unborn and imperishable, that alone is the illuminator. We only know a table is a table as a result of a thought. It is only when my thought goes to something that I know it exists. It is the Chaitanya that powers that thought, that allows us to see in a dream and in the dark.

What are the obstacles to gaining this knowledge? Through our senses, we see only the outside world and not our true selves. Our mind continues to become more and more extroverted. Yet, one can overcome this obstacle and use his senses to guide his mind towards the Self. When we see something, think, who is the Seer? Who is the one doing the seeing, hearing, thinking? The mind can be used to enquire about the true nature of the Self, to look inwards instead of outwards.

In this talk Swami Tejomayananda reflects back on what Nachiketa has learnt from Lord Death to date. Through listening, reflection and meditation on this knowledge, the one who realises that Brahman as his own self attains greatness. He realises he is Ananda, goes beyond joys and sorrows. Any man who realises this Truth becomes great, most revered and worshipped. But the wise person is not bothered by this at all.

Swami Tejomayananda reiterates the urgency of this quest, reminding us not to waste our time. Every moment is an opportunity to turn towards Self knowledge. This knowledge will take us beyond pairs of opposites, beyond joys and sorrows. Now is the time to arise, awake and take action to wake up from this sleep in which we are suffering. This knowledge is the subtlest of the subtle and so not easy to gain but this knowledge must be known because the fulfilment of life is the result.

How often should we meditate? Twenty four hours a day! How do we achieve this practice of constant meditation? This talk expounds on practical meditation; how do we do this? How do we withdraw our attention from our senses and slowly turn our attention within, from the individual I to the Totality. We are reminded by the great saints that even if this process is difficult, like walking on a razor’s edge, the results are more than worth the effort.

Although the Upanishads, logic and the Guru all say you are the Self, we can't accept this. And although no one tells us we are the body we readily accept we are the body. This is the power of Maya! To know our true self we need a purified mind, clarity of knowledge and the grace of a Guru. By focusing our minds on what our hands are doing, we gain single pointedness which in turn leads to subtlety of intellect which enables meditation which leads to recognition of the Atman

How do we move from the subtle to the subtlest? Our physical body first appears in subtle form but before that it exists in unmanifest form, just like a tree is in unmanifest form in a seed, and butter is in its unmanifest form in milk. Similarly, before the total mind was manifest, it was unmanifest. By peeling back these layers, we are moving towards our Self. What we call our individual mind cannot exist without the total mind. The individual jiva cannot exist without Mahan Atma (Totality, Ishvara, God). Know that you are part of the totality, that without it, nothing is possible.

Swami Tejomayananda dives into the Kathopanishad as it highlights That which is higher, subtler, more pervasive and most intimate. Subtlety is measured by the greater pervasiveness of one factor over the other. Listen in as Swamiji logically leads us to that which is the most subtle, taking us on our inner journey.

The human body is the gateway to liberation making it our greatest asset. We unfortunately turn it into our greatest liability! Identifying with the body, mind, senses and intellect, we mistake our true identity to be that of an individual limited being. We create bondages for ourselves by developing the wrong relationships with these equipment. Kathopanishad heeds us to not make our assets, our liabilities.

Kathopanishad uses the metaphor of the chariot to explain our relationship with the True Self. For this inner journey, our chariot is the body, in which the in-dwelling 'jiva' is the master, intellect the charioteer, mind the reins, senses the horses and the sense objects the road. Swami Tejomayananda cautions us that for safety, the charioteer should remain on the path of devotion, right thinking and faith, avoiding the dangers lurking in the by-lanes of compromise.

Shadow has no independent existence of its own. It exists only with reference to the light. Using this analogy, Kathopanishad elaborates how the jiva (the false ‘I’ ego) is the shadow and Paramata (the true Self) is the light. Seeing the jiva, we therefore know that Paramata is. Only ignorance keeps our true Self far from us, when in fact it is so close.

Just as one does not lose sight of the destination despite the traffic and hurdles that are encountered while travelling, Swami Tejomayananda warns us of the impediments in the journey of our Self discovery; bad conduct, sensual indulgence, lack of concentration and impatience to reach the goal. Develop clarity of thought and purity of mind to reach our own Self.

The subjective experience of the Atman - our True Self - cannot be gained by merely listening to discourses. One's study and reflection of the scriptures must be soaked in the intensity of faith. To the spiritual aspirant, who wants nothing else and diligently seeks the Atman, the Atman reveals Itself.

To realise the Self as it is, without the conditionings of Body, Mind, and Intellect, one has to become free of desires. Swami Tejomanyananda shares how one can become free from desires, emphasising the need to develop purity of mind and control of the senses. The glory of knowing our true Self is that one is permanently released from sorrows, anxiety and stress.

Swami Tejomayananda elaborates on the essence of Atman (the Self) as being beyond sins and merits. Who is the doer of actions? Who experiences the results of the actions? To whom accrues the sins and merits? The Atman cannot be the doer, enjoyer or prompter of any action. Kathopanishad reveals that when a person is awakened to one’s true nature, one is no longer bound by action and can be free from sorrows forever.

Kathopanishad reveals the true nature of the Atman (the Self). The Atman is neither born nor dies. Neither is it an effect nor a cause.The Atman is changeless. As we listen to the glory of the Self as it is described, Swami Tejomayananda reminds us that the Upanishad is talking about our true nature! So go ahead and get acquainted with yourself.

Lord Death reveals to Nachiketa “Om”; that which is the best support for worship as well as meditation. By worshipping the form of Om, one can be taken to the world of Brahmaji, the Creator, if one so desires. Alternatively, the meditator who with single pointed devotion meditates upon Om in a Nachiketa-like spirit of seeking the Ultimate and the Immortal, can realise one’s own Self and be liberated.

We now only know the relative world within the confines of space, time and objects - observed in an unending chain of cause and effect. Nachiketa asks Lord Death to share based on His own subjective experience of the Truth, ‘That’ which is the Knower of all causes and effects, yet is neither the cause nor the effect.

Kathopanishad shares how the wise person is able to rise above the joys and sorrows of life by realising that Consciousness, which is within their own heart. The spiritual aspirant can come to gain an intimate subjective experience of that pure Consciousness through meditation. Withdraw the mind's attention from the objects of the outside world and instead absorb it in the thoughts of the Self.

Despite seeing the greatness of spiritual knowledge and wanting it, we find that we are unable to gain it because there are still worldly desires that linger in us. Swami Tejomayananda comforts us to not be disheartened! Through objective introspection, each individual can come to know that which is blocking the flow of Knowledge in you.

The Knowledge of the Self is a wonder on its own; from its nature to how the Guru communicates it to the disciple. Only a Guru who knows the Truth can make us understand something that is beyond the faculty of our understanding and perception. Rare indeed are also the students who come to understand and experience the subtle ideas in their true essence.

At each moment, man has the freedom to either follow the path of Shreyas; wherein lies our absolute good as it frees us from bondage permanently or the path of Preyas; wherein we gain only temporary gratification of the senses and material prosperity. Swami Tejomayananda reminds us to use right thinking and pick our paths accordingly.

In the concluding verse of the first section of Kathopanishad, Swami Tejomayananda encourages us to have Nachiketa as our benchmark - to imbibe his ability to objectively introspect, the extreme clarity of a goal and the courage to pursue it. By putting in the self-effort and invoking the grace of the Lord and Guru, we too can gain the qualifications that will enable us to attain the highest Self Knowledge.

Having failed at his initial attempts to dissuade Nachiketa, Lord Death now presents Nachiketa with an endless array of temptations including power, wealth, progeny, long life and the ability to enjoy all possible desires. Nachiketa remains unmoved, knowing that the nature of all objects and pleasures is temporary. Thus, he becomes even more determined to seek the third boon from Lord Death.

YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/ChinmayaChannel/

Swami Tejomayananda expounds on the next few verses of the Kathopanishad where Lord Death tests the calibre of Nachiketa to determine if he is fit to receive the Knowledge. Despite the attempts by Lord Death to dissuade Nachiketa from seeking the Knowledge, Nachiketa remains relentlessly firm in his resolve. He knows that only with the grace of the Guru, is it possible to gain the Knowledge of the Infinite Truth.

After deep introspection, Nachiketa has come to know that the transcendental question of “Is there an existence after death?”, is not one that can be grasped by the mind or the intellect. Nachiketa therefore poses the question to the Lord of Death as only a Master who has realised the Truth, is able to reveal that Truth, which cannot be otherwise known by direct perception or inference.

Nachiketa uses his second boon for the benefit of the society, asking the Lord of Death to reveal the secret knowledge by which a mortal in the world can come to gain the pleasures of heaven. Pleased with Nachiketa’s intelligence, sincerity and devotion, Lord Yama heaps blessings upon him and beseeches him to ask for his third boon.

Having unintentionally kept Nachiketa waiting for three days without due hospitality, the Lord of Death apologises by offering Nachiketa three boons. Listen to find out what three boons the little boy decides to ask from the Lord of Death; which then sets the background for Kathopanishad.

After his father bursts out, ‘Unto Death do I give thee’, Nachiketa introspects that the words of his father (and Guru) cannot be futile. He becomes curious about the great work that Yama (the Lord of Death) seeks to accomplish for which he has been sent by his father. Swami Tejomayananda extols the qualities of the ideal student, Nachiketa who follows the path of righteousness uncompromisingly.

YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/ChinmayaChannel/

Kathopanishad begins as the young Nachiketa questions the actions of his father, who is involved in a great sacrifice. Nachiketa taps into the two most important qualities of a student; Shraddha (faith) and Viveka (right thinking) to probe into the deeper significance of the sacrifice and the dissonance that he observes with his father’s actions.

What exists after death? Is there a Truth after that? Join Swami Tejomayananda as he takes us through the dialogue between the Lord of Death and Nachiketa. In this episode, he offers an introduction of the knowledge covered in the Kathopanishad; beginning with a detailed explanation of the invocatory prayer recited by the teacher and the student as they begin this journey.

During these challenging times, Swami Swaroopananda offers perspectives on overcoming the challenges that we are bound to face in the game of life. Based on the famous Bhaja Govindam composed by Adi Sankaracharya, Swamiji invites us to pause and examine the purpose behind our life. He shares tips on how to aspire for that which is Higher, in this world that is temporary, uncertain, and ever-changing.
