Know What You Have
Swami Chinmayananda


A common problem adolescents face is the lack of clarity which impedes their moving forward in life. It is the ability to focus on what one has and to use it to gain what they want that enables us to evolve and grow.

In Know What You Have, Swami Chinmayananda, succinctly essays a series of articles on the human personality, the instruments that help us think and act; the mind and the intellect, and how to maximize its potential. It is a guide to both teens and their parents as to how the most influential time of an individual is to be lived.

Not Too Loose, Not Too Tight
Swamini Vimalananda


THE GOLDEN MEAN After a life in the lap of royal luxury, the day of reckoning arrived. Prince Siddhartha, left his home, his family and the security of his palace to become an ascetic in the forest. He hardly ate or slept. One day hshy;shy;shy;e fell into a partial swoon. In that semi-conscious state, he heard an interesting conversation. A novice was asking his teacher, ldquo;Master, how am I to tune my veena (an Indian musical instrument, here symbolising the human personality)?;

The teacher replied, ldquo;Son, tune not the veena too tight - the strings would break. And don't string them too loose, for then they would not create musicrdquo;. With this new insight, Siddhartha rose, revived himself with a meal and sat refreshed under the bodhi tree to meditate with new resolve. And thus the Buddha was born. This 'Golden Mean', which has since become one of the pillars of the Buddhist way of life, had made all the difference. NOT TOO LOOSE, NOT TOO TIGHT, JUST RIGHT This is what this pocket book is all about! It teaches you to strike the right balance in life and often it makes all the difference between a life of mediocrity and one of success.shy;shy;shy;

Adharsha Jeevan With Cd
Swami Tejomayananda


For each one of us, life is a journey, variously interspersed with occasions that bring joy, progress, good will, sorrow, and a sense of gratitude for all blessings we have received.

Adarsh Jivan is a compilation of Samskrta verses that mark such occasions in our lives. These have been composed and set to music by Pujya Guruji Swami Tejomayananda, with characteristic lyricism and Vedantic wisdom. They hold up a mirror to the ups and downs we all go through in life's journey. The commentary on these verses, also by Swami Tejomayananda, comes in the form of a simple story that leads us through the lives of two individuals, you and me.

Bodha Sara
SwamiTejomayananda


It is the Infinite Truth which is the Self of all, often referred to as God. The Vedas reveal it and the Smṛtis, Itihāsas and Purāṇas elaborate on it. Saints and sages have composed books and songs on it and countless have discoursed on it. It requires time and patience to go through the plethora of literature available which can be also highly scholastic and pedantic.

Bodha Sāra is an attempt to bring out the essence of Vedāntika Knowledge in three short verses - resulting from Swami Tejomayananda's reflection in solitude. This book answers as it questions, how we too through Vedānta can unfold from being seekers to the sought - Infinite Happiness.

Swami Tejomayananda is an outstanding teacher of Vedanta, with a profound depth beneath his simplicity and humility. He has a simple conviction - to fortify, strengthen and actualise the vision of his Guru, Swami Chinmayananda. Swamiji has written commentaries on many Vedantic texts and authored many original compositions on Vedanta and Bhakti (Devotion). He is the current head of Chinmaya Mission - a global spiritual organisation with more than 250 centres worldwide.

Buddhi Bear (Tales-1)
Swami Mitrananda, Rohini Manohar & Pankti Shanghvi


In "Buddhi Bear", Swatman is torn between his two bear friends, Buddhi and Manas. We face the same problem in our lives. We are frequently torn between the conflict of the mind (manas) and the intellect (buddhi), and more oftern than not, we yield to the soft and easy option of the mind rather than listen to the saner voice of the intellect, which would in the long run, be much more rewarding.

The mind is our friend when it is under the control of the intellect and an enemy when it is not!

Cradle Connections are more than just mere stories. For a child, these brilliantly simple tales will inspire them with positive values and for the adult; they contain profound lessons from the enriching philosophy of Vedanta. If understood well, these stories can prove to be inspirational material for deep reflection when the child evolves to an adult.

The Winning Race (Tales-2)
Swami Mitrananda, Rohini Manohar & Pankti Shanghvi
In this Story we find Swatman caught between listening to Shreyas the horse and Preyas the fox. In Hindu philosophy, Shreyas represents the good path whilst Preyas represents the pleasant path. Preyas is that which attacts us even at first sight because it can give us immediate pleasure. However it may not give us true happiness and peace that we hanker for in the long run.

Swan The Saviour (Tales-3)
Swami Mitrananda, Rohini Manohar & Pankti Shanghvi


Swatman get influenced by his two friends, Rajas and Tamas and nearly misses his boat to school until his friend sattva comes to the rescue. We too are influenced by the interplay of the three qualities of the mind - Sattva, Rajas and Tamas. Sattva depicts the clear and tranquil mind with noble traits while Rajas symbolises agitation and compulsive activity. Tamas on the other hand signifies lethargy, procrastination and pessimism which are all symbolic of a negative mind. These qualities influence our state of mind at any given time. With Sattva, we can be guided in the right direction, be free from all influences and board the ship M.V. Gunateet.

The Five Rides (Tales-4)
Swami Mitrananda, Rohini Manohar & Pankti Shanghvi
In Hindu philosophy, the five senses are denoted by the terms - shabda (sound), sparsha (touch), rupa (sight), rasa (taste) and gandha (smell). In "the Five Rides", the senses are portrayed as characters who enchant our little Swatman. He completely forgets all about study and his family. Isn't this an all to familiar situation in our lives? Swatman requires his friend Sudheer, the wise tortoise, to help keep his other wayward friends under check. sudheer symbolises the ability to withdraw our senses when overcome by stimuli, just like the tortoise withdraw his limbs when sensing danger. By mastering our senses, we are able to set out life back on track towards duty, progress and harmony.

Six Enemies Conquered (Tales-6)
Swami Mitrananda, Rohini Manohar & Pankti Shanghvi


In Hindu philosophy, the six passions or Arishadvarga that distracts the mind from its ultimate goal are; kama - desire, krodha - anger, lobah - greed, moha - attachment, mada-pride and matsarya - jealousy. These enemies often cause us to act selfishly causing chaos in life. Thus just like Swatman in the story, we need a Guru to engage and uplift our minds to loftier ideals so that we defeat the six enemies.

Mysterious Nectar (Tales-7)
Swami Mitrananda, Rohini Manohar & Pankti Shanghvi


Swatman discovers a secret treasure map leading him to a pot of priceless nectar which lies beyond the 5 tricky Koshadari hills. Likewise we are also on a journey to discover the divinity that lies within us. It is veiled by the 5 sheaths, namely annamaya kosha (the food sheath), pranamaya kosha (the vital air sheath), manomaya kosha (the mental sheath), vignanamaya kosha (the intellectual sheath) and anandamaya kosha (the bliss sheath). Like Swatman, spiritual seekers must have single pointe focus to transcent these sheaths and rediscover the divinity within.

Dhyanashtakam
Swami Tejomayananda


Is one with good health and wealth blessed? Is not one with name and fame blessed? Does no one who has fulfilled his worldly duties and lives in beauty blessed? The eight verses of Dhanyastakam as composed by Adi Sankaracarya explain that being one with our infinite blissful nature is indeed a state of true blessedness.

Swami Tejomayananda's commentary makes us long to be in the company of such blessed souls and experience directly the blessed state.

Swami Tejomayananda is an outstanding teacher of Vedanta, with a profound depth beneath his simplicity and humility. He has a simple conviction - to fortify, strengthen and actualise the vision of his Guru, Swami Chinmayananda.

Shivasahasranama Stotra Ratnam
Vidvan Seshachala Sharma


In the Mahäbhärata (considered as the fifth Veda), Lord Kåñëa, acceding to the request of Grandsire Bhéñma, narrates to Yudhiñöhira the 1008 names of Lord Çiva, which He had received from the great Sage Upamanyu in the form of spiritual instruction long ago. This divine hymn bestows material success and spiritual unfoldment upon every sincere seeker who chants these names.

The translation and explanation of each name given by Vidvän Çeñächala Sharmä will add the much needed clarity of thought, which when coupled with purity of mind and nobility of purpose, will liberate the seeker, who chants these names with devotion, from all bondages of delusion and sorrow.

Vakya Vrtti
Swami Chinmayananda


The journey of a spiritual aspirant through contemplation is a direct and difficult path. The ṛṣis of yore have elaborated and elucidated this teaching , particularly in the Chāndogya Upaniṣad, of the Upadeśa Mahāvākya Tattvamasi -That Thou Art.

Bhagavan Ādi Śaṅkarācārya, in his utter compassion, benevolence and unique versatility, brings forth a highest teaching enshrined in this thought provoking statement with iths word meaning (vācyārtha) and its import (lakṣyārtha) and the consequent dawning of Ahaṁ Brahmasmi in the sādhaka' s mind.

Swami Chinmayananda in this commentary makes a very lucid and deep analysis of the intricate and subtle thought development of the sentence ΄That Thou Art΄. He brings out clarity into how to understand each word of the statement and arrive at the clear meaning of the Mahāvākya for us all in this beautiful dialogue between teacher and student. A great aid and blessiong to all serious sādhakas on this very subjective analysis of Self -enquiry.
