Storm To Perform
Blending a mastery of Vaidika scripture with practical insights gained from decades of guiding spiritual seekers, Swami Swaroopananda shares examples of men and women throughout history who became great not in spite of adversity, but through it.
Life before and after Death
No other phenomenon has intrigued us more than death. Since time immemorial, people have approached the subject with fear, denial, dogma, ritualism, romance, even plain ignorance. Wise men speak of death as a mere gateway into another realm, but isn’t that just another myth? Swami Swaroopananda takes the torch of Vedanta into the darkness behind the great veil’, and casts a refreshingly liberating light on the unreality of death as we perceive it. Wait a minute… death, the one sure fact about all living things – unreal? The mystery deepens as we go further, but ultimately we arrive at a firmer, more empowering understanding of both life and death.
Mind - Can It Be Tamed?
It is not with unnoticed irony that the seers of India have likened the human mind to a monkey. For, even as man has evolved and progressed in the outer world, his inner world remains largely fettered by primitive instincts and self- limiting tendencies.... thus preventing his from rising to his true potential, from social animal to transcendental being. Indeed, this mysterious, made to tease mind, while serving at the medium of all activity in the universe, is also the membrane that obstructs man from recognising and expressing his inherent divinity. Drawing on ancient wisdom, Swami Swaroopananda presents, in simple and easy to understand language, an investigation into the nature of the mind, and offers the reader a range of tips and tools to help tame the monkey within. For dedicated seekers of Truth, Swamiji's advice constitutes more than just a metaphorical leash; it is a veritable lifeline to true living.
WHO/WHAT AM I
The question that forms the theme of this book is perhaps also the most urgent query of our times - for the answers to it have such far-reaching implications, they fundamentally change the way we live and, consequently, the world around us. Truely, one feels sad the question isn't debated in schools or discussed in the home more often, because a proper understanding of the subject actually holds the key to resolving many of present-day society's ills and excesses. With incisive analysis and methodical reasoning, Swami Swaroopananda pulls back the layers to reveal, in the simplest terms possible, the amazing reality at the heart of our existence and the corresponding potential this holds out to each and every one of us. One would be remiss to ignore a question so vital, it makes all the difference between indifferent living and living intelligently.
The Vision of Vedanta
All of us are constantly searching for happiness. No matter what cultural background or century we are born into, the desire to be happy is the central theme of human experience. We find some happiness in the relationships, possessions and experiences we pursue in life but somehow it is never complete or permanent, leaving us still longing for the lasting happiness and fulfilment that seems to elude us. Swami Swaroopananda, a highly engaging and transformative teacher unlocks the secret of true and permanent happiness. He answers the questions, "Who am I?", "What constitutes this huge universe?" and "What is my relationship to this world?" He seamlessly links the practice of yoga to the higher pursuit of the Infinite.
The Inner Ramayana
For centuries, people across India (and South Asia) have looked to The Ramayana for models of all kinds of human roles as they face life's vicissitudes - the perfect child, the ideal spouse, the exemplary sibling, the ace parent, the quintessential friend.......to name just a few. But the staying power of the ancient epic owes not only to its author's literary genius but more som to its intimation of the divine potential of the human spirit. Swami Swaroopananda uses the lens of Vedanta to highlight this underlying essence and its significance for spirirtual aspirants, in this eye-opening mini treatise. Accessible and concise, The Inner Ramayana takes the lessons of the epic from the simple t...
DESTINY - WHO´S IN CHARGE
The issue has puzzled thinkers and laypersons alike for generations! What really is destiny? Can we change it at all? we talk about fate, yet we make plans and promises. We blame our circumstances when things don't go our way, yet we jump to claim credit even when things 'just happen'to be in our favour. But if what is to happen will happen regardless, then why bother making any efforts whatsoever? What is the secret of changing, or going beyond destiny...without fighting it? In this book Swamiji reveals the answers with impeccable logic(and humour) , providing a bridge from the wisdom of the ancient to the confusion of our disbelieving times.
Love - Is it Forever?
In an era of unprecedented openness and abundance, when there is so much room for choice, and the means for forging relationships are so plenty and varied, it is an ironic, sad fact that increasing numbers of such alliances are reported to break up in the blink of an eye. The question thus becomes all the more inevitable and relevant: "Is love for ever?" In this tract, Swami Swaroopananda goes beyond the mere feeling to explore the unvarnished fundamentals of love. He discusses the principles and practices that help make a relationship more genuine and enduring, as contrasted with the common, undisciplined tendencies that take it to rocky grounds. The result is a higher, more balanced understanding that empowers the reader with a better ability to - and more rewarding experience of - Love.
MAHA MRITYUNJAYA
The Maha Mrityunjaya Mantra is one of the most powerful mantras in the repertoire of Vedic incantations.Translated literally as The Great victory over Death,this short but potent prayer is known to confer many corporeal benefits, including good health and long life. To the ardent speaker of truth, the mantra can give liberation from self -ignorance, verify a deathly state unto itself.. for Mrityunjaya, the Victor over Death (moha delusion), is none other than Lord Shiva Himself. Vedanta Teacher Swami Swaroopananda - discipline of one of the foremost spiritual lights of our times, Swami Chinmayananda, and protege of the present Head of Chinmaya Mission Worldwide, Swami Tejomayananda - delves into this esoteric Mantra to reveal the full spectrum of its nuances and impact. The sensitivity listener is sure to discover a new and lasting appreciation of the Mantra's efficacy on both the gross and subtle levels.
Journey into Health
The quest of health is essentially a quest for happiness. Which is why, beyond the superficial exercise, diet, nutritional supplements, yoga and similar therapies - although their benefits are by no means under dispute - the question of health needs to be addressed more holistically.... by encompassing the mental and emotional levels and reaching into the spiritual core. In this fine work, Swamiji illustrates through his personal experience and the teachings of the scripture, just how far-reaching the journey into health truly is.
