🌸About the Speaker🌸

Hailed as the second Swami Vivekananda, Pujya Gurudev Swami Chinmayananda (1916-1993) is an orator, writer and leader par excellence, a patriot and spiritual giant, one of the finest representatives of Indian spiritual heritage who spearheaded a global Hindu spiritual and cultural renaissance that popularised the religion's esoteric scriptural texts, teaching them in English all across India and abroad.

He worked tirelessly with tremendous energy for more than four decades to spread the message of Vedanta, leaving behind a great legacy for man. He has authored 95 publications, including commentaries on the major Upanishads and Bhagavad Gita. He was a visiting professor of Indian philosophy at several American and Asian universities and he conducted university lecture tours in many countries.

The sprawling worldwide, spiritual, educational, and charitable organization of Chinmaya Mission that encompasses more than 300 centres in India and internationally, carries on the bright torch lit by this great saint.

Key Insights:
Unity of the Self (Atman): Swami Chinmayananda explains that the same Atman, or Self, pervades all living beings, giving life and consciousness to all. Just as electricity manifests differently in various devices based on their structure, the Atman expresses differently in plants, animals, and humans depending on their "equipment" or body and mind.

Diversity in Expression, Unity in Essence: Although the expressions of consciousness vary among living beings due to their different forms, the underlying essence is the same. This highlights the oneness of all life forms despite apparent differences.

Dynamic Interaction of Life: Swamiji emphasizes that the world is not static; it is a dynamic field of constant interaction among all living beings. This interaction is governed by the supreme consciousness (Paramatma), which is the source and sustainer of all activities in the universe.

Subtlety and Pervasiveness of the Self: The Atman is described as the subtlest and most pervasive reality, transcending even space. It is the medium in which all existence and activities occur, just as water is the medium for fish. The Atman is beyond time and space, making it eternal and immutable.

Realization of Oneness: Swamiji illustrates that just as a river merges with the ocean and becomes one with it, upon realizing the highest state of consciousness, one understands that they are not separate from the ultimate reality (Brahman). This realization of "Tat Tvam Asi" (You are That) is the ultimate truth.

Moral:
The essence of all life is the same divine consciousness, manifesting differently based on the physical and mental forms. Realizing this oneness leads to an understanding that all interactions and activities are expressions of the same supreme reality. This understanding dissolves the illusion of separation, revealing the eternal and all-pervading nature of the Self.
