All letters are meant to be read, some to be treasured, while still a few others are to be shared with posterity. Pujya Swami Tapovanam, the Himalayan hermit and Param Guru of Pujya Gurudev, Swami Chinmayananda was a man of few words. Yet his letters to a devotee couple are full of practical tips. “A householder should not conduct himself like a Vanaprastha or Sanyasin; nor should a Vanaprastha or Sanyasin behave like a householder.” “Don’t give way to despair or grief because of failures… Don’t get depressed. Believe that failure is only a gatekeeper to success. But for failure ‘success’ will lose its meaning. Without losing heart at failure, if you take it’s an incentive to further effort, you will enter the citadel of victory sooner or later, today or tomorrow. ” This seemingly slim volume of letters will work for anyone who takes his words seriously.

These precious articles are brought out now, under the title “Geeta Vahini”, in this book, for the benefit of readers. This is not a commentary or summary of the divine message that was given by Lord Krishna to Arjuna. It conveys the same message in a simpler form to us, in order to remove our delusion and confer faith and strength on us, so that we may realise our own reality. Bhagawan says, “Drawing on the Divine that is inherent in us is the lesson of Geeta… Arjuna is the jiva and Krishna is the Deva. When both are in contact, impregnable might results… Krishna had to work in and through Arjuna, so that the reign of Dharma (righteousness) is re-established. Arjuna means white, pure, unblemished. Hence, he is the proper instrument.” We too can become proper instruments in restoring Dharma, if we follow the lessons that Bhagawan teaches through this book.
