Spiritual Unfoldment by Br. Uddhav Chaithanya..

on June 24, a Special lecture on Spiritual Unfoldment by Br. Uddhav Chaithanyaji Acharya,
Chinmaya Mission, Dallas, USA, was held at Chinmaya Meenakshi. The Satsang started with the Prayer song rendered by Balvihar student, Viveka. Smt. Parvathy Venkatraman, lighted the Kuthuvilakku and thus the hall was illumined! Shri Thilagar, Secretary welcomed the gathering.. and Sri Venkataraman introduced the Speaker to the audience.

Swamiji, slowly and steadily took the audience to his aura, by entering into the topic from simple experience..One who got lost on his way to reach the destination, should know (1) where he is and (2) where he has to go! If the destination is clear, one may take different routes to reach, but one should be aware of one's destination!

He remembered a quotation "in matters of opinion, flow like water.. in matters of principle, stay firm like a rock!"

He guided us (a) to look into the root of the problem, instead of doing away superficial patch work and (b) not to perform any action for happiness, but to do action with happiness!

So 'within the realm of one's principle, one can change the route, but not the Goal! The goal being " to be happy with the conscious alertness of Divine Presence" People who have Pure Mind (Chitha Shuddhi), Focussed Mind (Chitha Ekagratha) and Firmly established in Jnana (Jnana Nistha) will do actions for others. A true seeker, thus, should focuss on all the above three..

To conclude, he made our Goal very clear that, "only by self effort. we can reach the destination., If there is effort on our part, Guru's Grace and Blessings will flow to us, to reach our DESTINATION..

Br. Srinivas Chaithanya, Acharaya, Chinmaya Mission, Madurai, honoured and thanked the speaker... Chinmaya Family members from various parts of the City attended the Satsang in large numbers.. Prasadms were distributed after Mangala Aarthi..
