Book Description
The Absolute Truth being infinite , It cannot be defined through words or concepts , which are relative and limited , therefore finite. Any discussion of the Ultimate reality in the Scriptures is merely indicative or descriptive .
One such âpointer â in the directions of the absolute Truth - and d an extremely effective one at that - is Sri Guru Nanak Deveji âs Mul Mantra (âIk OnkarâŚ.â), found in the Gutru Granth Sahib . As the term itself denotes , the Mul (ârootâ) Mantra is a fountainhead of true wisdom. If medicated upon With sincerity and ardour , the ul mantra can serve as a powerful launched that can skyrocket us to mystical heights beyond mere intellectual comprehension us to mystical heights beyond mere intellectual comprehensive ,⌠eventually propelling us into the silent realm of infinite Consciousne
With impeccable logic and rare insight , Swami Swaroopananda reveals how the Mul mantra is the hall mark of the profoundest spiritual experience . understanding this we not only gain a stronger, declaration, but also, we grow inwardly richer as we gain a fuller appreciations of the one Indivisible Truth that is - nay , that has to be at the heart of all spiritual pursuit both past and presents.
In an era rife with scepticism and confusion about matters spiritual , swami Swaroopananda is a rare voice that blends authenticity with accessibility ; theory with self-practice ; logic with heart .
As a child he heard many religious stories from his grandmother; tales from the great Indian epics and the lives of Saints, and verses from the Guru Granth sahib . these stories suddenly came to life , acquiring new meaning and depth, when as an adolescent he encountered the preeminent Master of vedanta, Swami Chinmayananda.
His heart completely moved and inspired , in 1984 Swami Swaroopananda gave up his family âs thriving business to undergo intensive training under Swami chinnmayananda and swami Tejomayananda at sandeepany, Mumbai . he was initiated into the monastic order in 1992 . since then , he has touched thousands of lives across the world , and his tremendous work in bringing out the essential wisdom and underlying unity of all religions has garnered him a place among the vanguards of self -development philosophy.
Swami Swaroopananda has now been bestowed by swami Tejomayananda the privilege to serve as the Head of chinmaya mission worldwide (www.chinmayamission.com)
