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.
JOURNEY OF A MASTER
For over forty years Swami Chinmayananda was one of the leading interpreters and teachers of the Hindu philosophical system of Advaita Vedanta, which establishes with exact logic the identity of the self (Atman) with the infinite (Brahman). Through a variety of institutions and methods particularly the jñāna yajñas, rituals of truth, he worked to rejuvenate Hinduism by making hitherto inaccessible insights of the Upanishads and the Bhagavad - gita available to masses. Thereby, he was instrumental in bringing the wisdom of the Hindu heritage to everyone, regardless of caste, creed, gender, religion or nationality. This is the first biography of Swami Chinmayananda and retraces his journey from his childhood in Kerala, through his carefree college days and rebellion against British imperialism, then his spiritual tutelage under Swami Shivananda and Swami Tapovanam. An account is given detailing the growth of a worldwide movement under his guidance. Included are conversations with him on different subjects that demonstrate his sharp intellect, deep wisdom and quick wit. He is undoubtedly one of the outstanding and influential figures in the modern history of India.

OUR CULTURE AT A GLANCE
This booklet contains striking passages which are culled from Swami Chinmayananda's works, his letters to his devotees and his answers to their questions. Many of these passages appeared in 'Chinmaya's WIsdom Capsules', a booklet published by Chinmaya Mission, Chennai, mainly for distribution among its members. These collections have guided, inspired and illumined many seekers of Truth and it is hoped that all real seekers hwo may care to read them will be similarly benefited. If a few passages alone, culled at random from Swamiji's letters and utterances, have evoked inhis devotees considerable spiritual fervour, it is needless to say that a close study of all his works will undoutedly give a great impetus to their spiritual pursuits.

Written in his inimitably powerful style, inspiring and dynamic, the essays cover topics such as ethics, superstition, communalism, education, sadhana and wisdom. Each of these is packed with the deep spiritual wisdom of one of the greatest masters of our age.
Religion and Human Values
We glorify religion calling it the watchdog of our culture. Yet we conveniently make it a scapegoat on which we heap our mistakes and failings. To the claim that religion is not necessary, Pujya Gurudev Swami Chinmayananda states that we do not kill the patient, but rather cure the illness! As one of the participants on the dialogue 'Religion and Human Values' Swami Chinmayananda shows us how religion has consistently survived onslaughts down the labyrinth of time. He asserts, “If philosophy gives us the ideal, religion can give us the training to express these values in life.” Read and reflect…
Mandukya Upanishad
The Mandukya-Upanishad is the Shortest amongst the principal Upanishads having just 12 mantras but presents the quintessence of our entire teaching of Upanishads. It analyses the entire range of human consciousness in the three states of waking (Jagrata), dream (svapna) and dreamless sleep (susupti) which are common to all men.It asserts unequivocally that the Absolute Reality is non-dual (advaita) and attributeless (nirguna) It has a unique method of approach to Truth. It provied symbol for meditation in the mono-syllable AUM comprising of three sounds A,U,M detailing its philosophical implications. According to Muktikopanishad, it forms the epitome of all the hundred and eight Upanishads which have been accepted as authentic.
AGELESS GURU
The book is an attempt to chronicle in lucid language the life of a great modern sage. Swami Chinmayananda's life was indeed a saga of extraordinary spiritual strength, love, tireless service and metaphysical reach. When he began the mission the world's oldest scriptures were taught only in exclusive pockets, shrouded in orthodoxy. Swami Chinmayananda interpreted and opened up this perennial philosophy for millions of people. His was a life which in less than fifty years left behind the legacy of a global organisation, hundreds of institutions and millions of followers devoted to a single aim, the perpetuity of nobility in Man.
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.
