Website link to guidance through Gita

[Guest guest]

Dear Advaitin groups,

I came across a wonderful website which holds the answer to a lot of the

questions being generated in this website. I believe that this would be a

" must share " website. I am sure a lot of you must have already had access

to these discourses of Swami Chinmayananda but for those who have'nt come

across this site:

 

The link provided below contains a synopsis of Swami Chnimayananda's

discourses. Swamiji covers a broad spectrum of subjects related to

spiritualism and other such allied topics. Quoting extensively from the

Gita, he effectively unravels some of the covert metaphysical concepts such

as God, truth, love, spirituality, ethical life, mind and its governance

etc, in layman's parlance. The means to attain true happiness and peace, and

also tips to control the turbulent, strong, unyielding, and the restless

mind are tactfully dealt with. The guidance that Swamiji offers are

practical and extremely useful to attain some level of spiritual growth,

mental equilibrium, and to salvage the ethical and moral dilemma of the

mind. He also talks extensively about Vairagya and some of the advice are

believe are rather pertinent and is something that all of us need to

exercise with full force.

Hello Kamakshi,

 

Thanks for that link. I went to it, browsed briefly

and then saved it for study. Best wishes, Steve.
