To,


All Members,


You see, no one can teach anybody.

The teacher spoils everything by thinking that he is teaching.

Thus Vedantam says that within man is all knowledge, even in a boy it is so, and it requires only an awakening, and that much is the work of a teacher.

We have to do only so much for the boys that they may learn to apply their own intellect to the proper use of their hands, legs, ears, eyes, etc., and finally everything will become easy.

Swami Vivekananda

26/11/2018 The Call of Sri Krishna: The Gospel of Super Excellence - 6. : Swami Krishnananda (Talk given on Janmashtami, Sri Krishna's birthday.)

Article: Philosophy: The Aim of Human Existence – Part 3/3 (Spoken at a Conference in Delhi on Sept. 21, 1980) Post-9. ================================================================ The Aim of Human Existence – Part 3/3 -1 No success in any field of life can be achieved without tapas. Tapas is the guarantee for success in any walk of life, in any direction of any activity. We have been told that creation originated with the tapas of the Creator. The Nasadiya Sukta of the Veda tells us that the Supreme Creator performed tapas when He willed this vast creation, and the whole of His creation is vibrant with various degrees and manifestations of this supreme tapas. In this sense, we may say that the whole creation is only tapas, and the activities of nature in its generality and of people in its particularity are all engendered by a force which can be best described as tapas. I for one cannot

  Chinmaya Mission : On November 26, 2023, Chinmaya Mission Houston (CMH) witnessed the inaugural Kumbhabhisekam ceremony of Saumyakasi Sivalaya.  The festivities spanned several days, featuring symbolic rituals and a Dwadasa Jyotirlinga Yatra conducted by over 400 Bala Vihar children.  This ritual harked back to a tradition initiated during the Sivalaya's inauguration 16 years prior. During his address, Pujya Acarya Gaurang Nanavaty traced the inception of Pujya Gurudev's vision, while the Consul General of India in Houston acknowledged CMH's significant role in preserving Hindu culture.  The culmination on Sunday, marked by homas and a Dwadasa Jyotirlinga Yatra, saw devotees gracefully participating in the abhishekam ceremony, facilitated by meticulous arrangements. ================================================================ 1.#Opinion : Sunday, 17 Dec 2023. 05:30. 3368// 1. #Religion and Social Values: Post 9. - Swami Krishnananda./// ===============================
