 ========================================================================= Chinmaya Mission Swami Swaroopananda was warmly welcomed by young, children and adults of Chinmaya Mission Dubai during his recent visit to Dubai in the first week of November. Swamiji expounded on the how the potent prayer Maha Mrutyunjana Mantra confers many corporeal benefits, including good health and long life. To the ardent seeker of Truth, the Mantra can give liberation from self-ignorance, verify a deathly state unto itself... for Mritunjaya, the Victor over Death (moha delusion), is none other than Lord Shiva Himself. Seekers were entralled to discover new meaning and found a lasting appreciation of the Mantra's efficacy on both the gross and subtle levels. ======================================================================== Friday, November 11, 2022. 08:30.

Chapter 1: Introduction -1. ======================================================================= The great issues of life, whether personal or social, hinge upon the concept of duty—what one ought to do in life. We know very well that the whole enterprise of mankind is a struggle of duty towards a particular end, and it makes no difference what position a person occupies in life insofar as the broad question of duty is concerned. The division of duty may vary from person to person, or from condition to condition; but that there is a duty of some sort cannot be denied, because duty is another name for the function that one is expected to perform in a given location of one's life. But what one ought to do cannot be decided easily unless another question is answered: what is it that one is aiming at? Our ...

 ======================================================================== ======================================================================== Thursday, June 28, 2022. 20:30. Post-6. ======================================================================== So our individuality, as a symbol of conscious existence, is a contribution; it comes from the prana, the vital energy that is operating within this body. But the prana is operating because of the thoughts of the mind. We can direct the prana, or the energy, in different directions by the concentration of thought of the mind. If the mind thinks only of one particular thing, the pranic energy is directed to that particular thing only. Little children look beautiful because of the equal distribution of pranic energy in their bodies. They do not have sensory desires projected through any particular organ. As the child grows and grows, he becomes less beautiful to look at because the senses begin to appropriate much of the pranic ...

Annat purushah: Our personality is an adumbration, solidification, concretisation, clarification—whatever we may call it—of the food that we eat. In the personality of the human being we find in a miniature form all that has come cosmically down to the earth, right from the Supreme Brahman—satyam jnanam anantam brahma. So the universe is called brahmanda and the individual is called pindanda. The macrocosm is the universe, and the microcosm, or the individual, is a ...

 ============================================================ ============================================================ Thursday, May 12, 2022. 21:00. Post-4. =============================================================== The Universal cannot be thought by the mind and, therefore, that cosmic point also cannot be really thought of. Astronomers call it the cosmic atom. But the word ‘atom' has such peculiar suggestiveness to our thinking mind that often we are likely to slip into the thought of it being a little, small thing. The smallness and the bigness question does not arise there. In that condition, we cannot say what is small and what is big. “Who is a tall man?” If I ask you this, whom will you bring? “Bring a short man.” These are all relative terms. In comparison with a tall man, someone may look short, etc. So there is no such thing as a tall man or a short man, a long shirt or a short shirt; they are comparative words. So, too, we cannot say what kind of atom it was....
