Guest guest Posted February 14, 2001 Report Share Posted February 14, 2001 I am a disciple of Swami Chinmayanandaji. Originally grew up as VishishhTadvaitin, since I was born to a great scholar and renowned poet in Rayalaseem who spend his whole life propagating VishishhTadvaiata. As the fate would have it, I did not learn enough of VishishhTaadvaita and in between got exposed to more of material science (ended up as material scientist), JK philosophy and ultimately Advaita when many of my questions found satisfactory answers. I am currently teaching Vedanta on behalf Chinmaya Mission Washington regional center - taking Giita class on Sundays for Virginia group. I found teaching is the best way to learn. We have covered several other texts during past five, six years that I have been involved. Currently I am contributing notes on Brahmasuutra as per Shankara bhaashya based on the lectures that I attended while I was in Madras by H.H. Swami Paramaarthanandaji. While in the Mission I had a great opportunity to learn from not only my guru, Swami Chinmayanandaji, but also from Swami Dayandandaji while he was in the mission, Swami Tejomayanandaji, Swamini Saradapriyanandaji, Dheeranandaji just to name a few. I owe all my knowledge to all these great teachers. Besides the Vedantic knowledge, how to life the life of Vedanta - that I learned by close observation of some the above mahatma-s particularly my gurudev - swamiji Himself - who was very kind to me and to my family - my daughter essential grew up in his lap - and to swamini Sarada Priyanandaji. All I can say is I am blessed with great parents, blessed with great teachers and blessed with great wife and daughter and blessed with great friends and now blessed with this list serve wherein I could freely contribute and learn. Life is just a continuous blessings and I cannot thank enough that great Lord who blessed me abundantly that I cannot even dream of repaying him back. Life is so beautiful and I am enjoyng every minute of it. - As swami Vivekanandaji put it the apparent jarring notes once in way makes the rest of it even so much more beautiful. So the apparent govt. paper work in the office makes the rest of the life even more exciting. Hari OM!
