KATHOPANISHAD
Kathopaniñad is a unique Upaniñad which starts with a kathä (a story) of a young boy who is ready to face the Lord of Death in his quest for Truth to know what lies beyond death. He asks the very pertinent and philosophical question, ‘Is there or is there not, and if it is what is it?’ In short, this teaching is an extravaganza of spiritual knowledge and meditation that guides a student step by step to the glorious state of immortality, peace and bliss.
The Holy Geeta
The Holy Geeta, or the Song Celestial, is a dialogue between the Lord and a man of action set amidst the din and roar of war. The good and evil forces within are represented in the battlefield of life. Man often finds himself in a crisis, wherein he is psychologically unable to cope with the situation at hand, or even decide the right course of action. In this inner turmoil, there is a great battle between the positive and negative inclinations. The Holy Geeta portrays this great spiritual struggle within man and guides him towards his inherent divinity and positivity. In doing so, this Celestial Song explains the nature of man, his purpose in the world and the means for him to attain his goals. In short, it is a complete manual for achieving success in life. The Holy Geeta is the heart of the great Hindu epic, the Mahabharata. It is the quintessence of the philosophy of Vedanta. This commentary on the Holy Geeta by Swami Chinmayananda is one of the finest ever written. His extremely logical explanations in contemporary and powerful language have appealed to millions of people around the world.
DISCOURSES ON SHRIMAD BHAGAVATA
Shrimad Bhagavat is renowned as one of the greatest compositions in Sanskrit Literature. The 18th Purana composed by Maharishi Veda-Vyasa, it stands unparalleled in its distinct and resplendent exaltation of devotion to God, revealing throughout the quintessence of Vedantic teachings. Masterfully profound and delightfully enchanting, Shrimad Bhagavat abounds in work-paintings of the supreme Lord's wondrous and endearing avatars, divine sports and devotees - paintings that kindle, intensity and establish devotion in one's heart. This spring of devotion leads one to satsang, to the Guru and to teachings that unveil one's essential nature of Brahman.
MEDITATION A VISION
The wise advise us to 'see before we walk'. Meditation a Vision gives us the right vision as we embark on the inner journey to the Supreme through meditation. It throws light on questions like the purpose of meditation, techniques of meditation, the obstacles in meditation and the result of meditation. This easy to follow book of guidance by Swami Tejomayananda gives us confidence as we walk on this path less travelled.
SRI RAMA'S REVERIES IN NATURE
'Sri Rama's Reveries in Nature' is the musings of Lord Sri Rama as He spends the monsoon and autumn seasons with His brother Lakshmana in the forest. His words are full of practical lessons and divine thoughts that nature provides about human behaviour, life and God. Swami Tejomayananda's commentary is the added glow to the natural beauty of Tulasidasaji's words in Kishkindha Kanda of Tulasi Ramayana.
WE MUST
India belongs to a culture that does not believe in rights. Our people being holistic in vision and rooted in values, rise up to perform their duties: thus everyone gets their rights. This is our heritage, this is what we must live up to. In this journey of self-mastery, We Must, authored by Swami Chinmayananda, is a perfect companion to guide, instruct and inspire. A compilation of the thoughts of the great Maser on self-improvement, is witty, engaging and potent. The book says ' The liberty to work or not to work does not belong to us. Our luxurious freedom is in choosing to work rightly in the spirit of love, dedication, and sacrifice.' This, We Must. If we are available, the greatest achievements are possible - We Must. Let us be Ready, Willing and Available - We Must.

Between the test and rest, you are guided for the glide. Bhagavan Sankaracharya's precision coupled with Swami Chinmayananda's elaborations give you illuminations.
KAIVALYA UPANISHAD
Upanisads are the philosophical portion of the Vedas. Its poetic diction, systematic development of thought, at once clear, concise and scientific in arrangement of highly philosophical ideas make Kaivalya Upanisad one of the most striking minor Upanisads. The great commentator Närayana calls the Kaivalya Upanisad as the Brahma Satarudriya i.e. the Satarudriya which glorifies the unconditioned Brahman as opposed to the personal God, Lord Siva of the original Satarudriya. True to the Upanisadika style, where story form is considered as the most apt devise to make the subject easily intelligible to the readers, in this Upanisad Asvaläyana, the great teacher of Rig Veda is a disciple and Lord Brahmä, the Creator himself is the teacher, which makes this as the most valuable amongst the 'minor' Upanisads.
