Tapovan Jayanthi And Geetha Jayanthi


H.H Tapovanji Maharaj Jayanthi and Geetha Jayanthi Day celebrated on November 27 at Chinmaya Mission, Madurai.

'Make use of Him, if you can" says Gurudev, about his Master Swami Tapovanji Maharaj..

Tapovanji is a Light, a Fragrance and a Joy, who stands as a silent witness to all we do in the Mission.

'Behold Sri Krishna in all' was his message. To create ample space of Guru and Govinda in our hearts, the family of Chinmaya, assembled in the hall at 10.00 a.m. The members, Devi Group and the public chanted 'Guru Stotram', and 'Tapovan Shatkam" invoking the grace of paramguru - Tapovanji Maharaj.

Then all the assembled recited Sri Bagawad Geetha, chapters.. the hall just vibrated with the 'amruthavarshini' of Yogeshwar - Sri Krishna.. Ashtothra pooja and Arthi was performed. Having firmly installed them in the minds and hearts, the crowd dispersed with prasad and glow in the faces..


'the greatness is not in what we do., but always in how we do, what we do'- Swami Chinmayananda

Mahabharatha Jnana Yagna in Tamil at Tirunagar.


Mahabaratha Jnana Yagna was held from November 17 to 21, at Dharmakshetram, Tirunagar, Madurai, by Acharaya Br. Srinivas Chaithanyaji.

The Mahabaratha war is a 'dharma yudha' and the battle field is 'Dharmakshetra'..This talk was also arranged in 'Dharmakshetram' a suitably titled venue. A decisive co-incidence! The devotees of Gurudev and general public were attended the yagna, in large number eagerly, to experience the Bhisma Parvam!

Each day of the discourse ended in throwing more light on the great philosophy of this land and the Sages and the Heroes, who made" "Satyam alone Triumphs!". To list a few:
  • the greatness of Sage Vyasa to lend the unparalleled boon to Sanjayan..
  • the humility and the strength of "dharma"..
  • the pearls of wisdom of Bhagawad Gita - it is one without second !..
  • the subtle and yet powerful role of Sri Krishna.. He was taller than circumstances..
  • the different strategies framed by Pandavas and Kauravas in the battlefield..
  • how the war is lost, before it began..
  • the fall of the greatest Acharaya of archery, Bhisma, thus quenching the debt he owed..
  • Bhisma's pure love and affection to Arjuna..
  • Bhisma's devotion to the Lord Sri Krishna..

Talk at Sringeri Math, Madurai



Br. Srinivas Chaithanya, Acharya, Chinmaya Mission, Madurai, gave a talk on" Kuraiyondrum Illai " ( குறையொன்றும் இல்லை ), on November 1 (sunday) at 6.30 p.m. at Sringeri Math, Madurai, sponsored by M/s Sri Krishna Sweets, Coimbatore.

"Narayaneeyam" was sung by devotees and the hall was set ready with serenity..

In his talk Br. Srinivasji, mentioned that man at every stage of his life, does actions, seeking total happiness, but it is always 'apoornatha' - a sense of incompleteness prevails! A state of being uncomfortable is always there..How to reach the total Bliss?

In almost every chapter of Bhagawat Gita Sri Krishna, gives the answer for this question! Devotion and Surrender are two important milestone on the the path of Bliss. Devotion removes worry, anxiety and fear. Surrender makes life smooth and joyful. Mahabharatha threw more light on the topic, he quotes.

The audience were thrilled, when he explained, how Sahadeva with his crystal pure love for the Lord, could tie the lotus feet of Yogeshwar - Sri Krishna!

Purity is the character of a devotee! If you are a devotee, you should be spotless..then 'kuraiyondrum Illai' ( குறையொன்றும் இல்லை ) !

Hari Om!
