Chandogya Upanishad: ( 30/03/2013. )

 ========================================================================= Chinmaya Mission  :  A mind that is connected to Shri Hanuman is determined, decisive and devoted. May we serve Him and serve like Him. Glimpse of 17th anniversary celebrations of Chinmaya Maruti Mandir on 27th of December 2022 at Chinmaya Vibhooti during the Gopika Geet Global Family Camp.  The celebration started with blissful Havan and Puja. It was heartwarming to see Swami Swaroopananda offer Archana and Aarti to His beloved Lord Hanuman.  Indeed a glorious sight to behold. ========================================================================= Monday, December 12,  2022. 08:00.

"Atha yady-apy-enan utkranta-pranan sulena  samasam vyatisandahet naivainam bruyuh pitrhasiti,  na matrhasiti, na bhratrhasiti, na svasrhasiti,  na acaryahcasiti, na brahmanahasiti." --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Bhashyam (Vyakyanam) : The whole of life is nothing but this inscrutable thing which we call prana. This is the great reality manifesting itself in various names and forms. We mistake the names and forms for this supreme Being which is masquerading here as the objects of sense, as human beings and everything else that we se

"Prano vava asaya bhuyan, yatha va ara nabhau samarpitah,  evam asmin prane sarvam samarpitam, pranah pranena yati,  pranah pranam dadati, pranaya dadati, prano ha pita,  prano mata, prano bhrata, pranah svasa,  prana acaryah, prano brahmanah." Nobody can understand what life is. We utter the word 'life' many times, but we cannot explain what it means. It is not what we do daily that is called life. Though we generally identify life with our activity, it is a mistake that we commit. Life is something inscrutable. Life is really what we are. Here, it is called prana. It is not the breathing process, but the l

The will, no doubt, is a determining psychological function. But the will cannot operate unless there is a cohesive force behind the functions of thought.

Hence, if water is superior to the earth principle, fire is superior to the water principle. Mantram-1.
