Love

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

In an era of unprecedented openness and abundance, when there is so much room for choice, and the means for forging relationships are so plenty and varied, it is an ironic, sad fact that increasing numbers of such alliances are reported to break up in the blink of an eye. The question thus becomes all the more inevitable and relevant: "Is love for ever?" In this tract, Swami Swaroopananda goes beyond the mere feeling to explore the unvarnished fundamentals of love. He discusses the principles and practices that help make a relationship more genuine and enduring, as contrasted with the common, undisciplined tendencies that take it to rocky grounds. The result is a higher, more balanced understanding that empowers the reader with a better ability to - and more rewarding experience of - Love.

The Vision of Vedanta

By: Swami Swaroopananda

All of us are constantly searching for happiness. No matter what cultural background or century we are born into, the desire to be happy is the central theme of human experience. We find some happiness in the relationships, possessions and experiences we pursue in life but somehow it is never complete or permanent, leaving us still longing for the lasting happiness and fulfilment that seems to elude us. Swami Swaroopananda, a highly engaging and transformative teacher unlocks the secret of true and permanent happiness. He answers the questions, "Who am I?", "What constitutes this huge universe?" and "What is my relationship to this world?" He seamlessly links the practice of yoga to the higher pursuit of the Infinite.

Shiva Pancakshara Stotram

Shiva Pancakshara Stotram

By: Swami Swaroopananda

For Centuries, temples across India have reverberated with the terse yet tremendously potent mantra Om Namah Sivaya. In fact, such is the appeal of the five syllable (Pancaksari) phrase-as well as the deity it celebrates-that the great philosopher-cum-reformer of yore, Sri Adi Sankaracarya, made the mantra the very basis of a hymn he wrote in praise of Lord Shiva. And a delightful, exemplary meditation that hymn is, given that a mantra is intended to be not just repeated mechanically, but also reflected upon by the chanter. But whilst the Pancaksari Mantra itself has inherited a special place in the heart and life of every Hindu, in literally every corner of the country, it is remarkable that there has not been a proper commentary Adi Sankaracarya's Pancaksara Stotram...until now. To the Advaita master's musings, simultaneously pregant with devotion and thought, Swami Swaroopananda brings in this book his own meditations, drenched in the desire to experience Shiva the way the original author did. In the process, the reader is benefitted with not just knowledge but also inspiration...to see the Divine not just as a definite form, but as the magnificent, ineffable spirit that supreme Reality truly is. A bonus dividend of Swamiji's labour of love is that the reader will find the resources to uncover- and overcome - the five fundamental fears that afflict every human being, no matter their age or stature.This is emancipation of the most practical kind.

Life before and after Death

By: Swami Swaroopananda

No other phenomenon has intrigued us more than death. Since time immemorial, people have approached the subject with fear, denial, dogma, ritualism, romance, even plain ignorance. Wise men speak of death as a mere gateway into another realm, but isn’t that just another myth? Swami Swaroopananda takes the torch of Vedanta into the darkness behind the great veil’, and casts a refreshingly liberating light on the unreality of death as we perceive it. Wait a minute… death, the one sure fact about all living things – unreal? The mystery deepens as we go further, but ultimately we arrive at a firmer, more empowering understanding of both life and death.

Mind - Can It Be Tamed?

By: Swami Swaroopananda

It is not with unnoticed irony that the seers of India have likened the human mind to a monkey. For, even as man has evolved and progressed in the outer world, his inner world remains largely fettered by primitive instincts and self- limiting tendencies.... thus preventing his from rising to his true potential, from social animal to transcendental being. Indeed, this mysterious, made to tease mind, while serving at the medium of all activity in the universe, is also the membrane that obstructs man from recognising and expressing his inherent divinity. Drawing on ancient wisdom, Swami Swaroopananda presents, in simple and easy to understand language, an investigation into the nature of the mind, and offers the reader a range of tips and tools to help tame the monkey within. For dedicated seekers of Truth, Swamiji's advice constitutes more than just a metaphorical leash; it is a veritable lifeline to true living.

Life Management Techniques

By: Swami Swaroopananda

On the surface, an enchanted life would seem the ideal existence - a life free from worries, wants, insecurities, incapacities and so forth. Indeed, that is the sum total of all product advertisements, recreational pursuits, even business goals and social norms, put together. And yet nothing could be more elusive. The fundamental truth of life - and all of us are aware of it, though we conveniently keep forgetting it - is that for as long as we're breathing, there can be no escaping all the negative, nay, challenging situations that owe to our destiny. But how we respond to them is the key that sets apart success from stagnation, joy from dejection, fulfilment from frustration. Artful management of life's vicissitudes is therefore the antidote to wishful thinking, and such treatment requires first and foremost a wilful change of mindset: a shift in focus from results to process, from destination to journey...because, quite simply, the 'stuff' of life is always in the here and now. In this book, Swami Swaroopananda, disciple of Vedanta champion Swami Chinmayananda, shares many insightful tips and techniques to enable exactly such a transition. The reader is assured of being empowered to handle with grace, conviction and a renewed sense of direction, the greatest possible opportunity nature could give us: life itself.

Journey into Health

By: Swami Swaroopananda

The quest of health is essentially a quest for happiness. Which is why, beyond the superficial exercise, diet, nutritional supplements, yoga and similar therapies - although their benefits are by no means under dispute - the question of health needs to be addressed more holistically.... by encompassing the mental and emotional levels and reaching into the spiritual core. In this fine work, Swamiji illustrates through his personal experience and the teachings of the scripture, just how far-reaching the journey into health truly is.

Hastamalaka Stotram

By: Swami Purushottamananda

A small boy, who was already a realized soul, narrated his experience of Sell-knowledge to Bhagavan Adi Shankaracharya. To the boy this knowledge was as clear as 'a gooseberry (amalaka) kept on the palm (hasta)', and so the boy was named Hastamalaka, He became famous as one of the four renowned disciples of the Acharya and the conversation compiled by the Acharya is 'Hastamalaka stotram'. The famous saint of Maharashtra, Sant Ekanatha Maharaja has written a beautiful commentary on this stotra in Marathi. Swami Purushottamananda brings out the quintessence of that commentary, which will be most valuable to English knowing seekers for contemplation and Self-realization.

MUKUNDAMALA

By: Swami Ishwarananda

What do you call a devotee who is also a king -- an emperor among saints or a saint among emperors? Kulasekhara Alvar, was a regal devotee who lorded over the Lord of His heart, Mukunda! He would cry, smile, weep, laugh, plead, throw a challenge to the lord and make Krishna give into His sweet adoration. Swami Ishwarananda in his erudite exposition on Mukundamala;, a composition of this saint says that love by itself is healing, but divine love is several notches higher and a Divine Lover is an alchemist who transforms an ordinary life into an inner pilgrimage, leading to an ecstatic union with the Lord. His exhaustive commentary is replete with easy examples and parallels from the Upanisads and the Bhagavad-gita;. This will be an illuminating affirmation for any devotee and an eye-opener to any atheist who is very sure of himself. Through this text you will discover the deeper dimensions of your emotional and spiritual personalities.

Darkness to Light

By: Swami Ishwarananda

According to the Upanishads, the body is a temple and the one residing in it is the Lord Himself. Humans have endeavored to replicate this message through the construction of temples. The heart is the cave where the soul dwells and the cave is the temple’s sanctum sanctum where the deity resides—in darkness and stillness. In all faiths, light is the archetype of transcendence. In the temple, it is only with the light of the lamp, purposefully raised, that the magnificent presence of God is revealed. In us, God is discovered with the light of knowledge: when it floods the cave, it banishes the darkness, illuminating and making the unknown gloriously known. What is this light? What does it disclose? How is it attained? With gratitude and humility, ‘Darkness to Light’ provides answers and makes suggestions. This book is a humble offering of gratitude at the feet of the great master Pujya Gurudev Swami Chinmayananda, founder of Chinmaya Mission, who has ignited the spark in the hearts of seekers worldwide.

Hinduism

By: Swami Chinmayananda

Hindu culture is founded upon the sacred scriptures such as Vedas, which are revered even today, for they contain revelations of eternal Truth and embody the spiritual and cultural heritage of the Hindu people. The Vedas are the legacy of the rishis and subjective scientists, who touched a deep cord within, far beyond the physical, mental and intellectual layers, which allowed them to see all life as interconnected. They saw the One manifested throughout the universe, making everything sacred to them. When life is honoured and belief in holiness of all life is fostered, one cannot but help acquire a deep sense of reverence for life. Hindu culture has evolved out of this vision. This book provides concise and precise answers to basic questions about Hinduism, unfolding the foundation upon which Hindu culture rests.

Symbolism in Hinduism

Symbolism in Hinduism

By: Swami Nityananda

In the Indian ethos, we encounter symbolism everywhere – in our shastras, in our celebrations and festivals, in the way we live. Symbolism has a language of its own. It is not necessarily meant to be cryptic or secretive, but it is meant to make on think, to ask questions. Why do we celebrate our festivals the way we do? Why are Hindu gods multi-armed, each one specific and distinct from the other? What is the significance of their individual vehicles and the weapons they carry? Pujya Gurudev, Swami Chinmayananda, sometimes spoke about symbolism and sometimes wrote about it. His style was unique and always to the point. The articles in this book have been compiled by Swami Nityananda (formerly R.S. Nathan), who was driven by a desire to share Gurudev’s wisdom with all. There are articles by others too, and they have been included because each one of them touches on one or the other aspect of symbolism. And if anybody is buzzing with questions, pick up this book and read on.
