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 ‘pointer ‘ in the directions of the absolute Truth - and d an extremely effective one at that - is Sri Guru Nanak Deveji ‘s Mul Mantra (‘Ik Onkar….’), found in the Gutru Granth Sahib . As the term itself denotes , the Mul (‘root’) 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 ‘s 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)
