Product Description


Man is proud of his possessions and runs day and night after pleasures. Often power and positions posit problems, and possessions and pleasures turn into pain. Observing the nature of the world one wonders - What is life all about? What is the purpose of human existence? If everything is fleeting, what is real and true? Such and many more questions come to the mind of most of us who think. Thus begins our search for a Guru.

Now imagine the Lord (Rama) in the role of a questioning disciple and a Sage (Vasistha) as His Guru and you have the Yoga Vasistha, a great treasure of the highest knowledge and greatest stories, which answers multifold questions of life. This text covers almost the entire philosophical thought of Sanatana Dharma.

Swami Tejomayananda selects the choicest verses from this voluminous masterpiece to give us A Glimpse into Yogavasistha (Yogavasistha Nidarsini), with a simple yet elevating commentary revealing its subtle essence.

About the Author

Swami Tejomayananda

Born on June 30, 1950 in Madhya Pradesh (then known as Sudhakar Kaitwade), Swami Tejomayananda was drawn to a spiritual life from early on. Raised with a deep love for higher ideals, he found his calling when he attended a discourse on the Bhagavad Gita by Swami Chinmayananda. Despite being just one year away from completing his Master’s degree in Physics, he chose a different path. In 1970 he left home to join the Residential Vedanta Course at Sandeepany Sadhanalaya, Mumbai and in 1975 graduated from that course as a Brahmachari under the name Vivek Chaitanya.

In 1983, he embraced renunciation and was given the name Swami Tejomayananda, reflecting light (tejas), knowledge (jnana), and compassion. Over the next years he served in various teaching roles both in Bharat and abroad (including at San Jose, USA) and came to be cherished for his ability to make Vedanta both accessible and inspiring.

After Swami Chinmayananda’s Mahasamadhi in 1993, Swami Tejomayananda was appointed the Global Head of Chinmaya Mission Worldwide. He led the Mission for 23 years, expanding its reach across the globe with new Centres, educational initiatives, devotional music, arts institutions and multimedia outreach.

A Padma Bhushan awardee (2016), Swami Tejomayananda is praised for his simple yet profound way of teaching Vedanta, fluent in several languages: English, Hindi, Marathi & Sanskrit and gifted both as a poet and composer. Affectionately revered as “Pujya Guruji,” he is known for his humility, wisdom, approachability and the way his teachings feel alive in everyday life.

His writings on texts like the Ramayana, Bhagavatam and Vedantic classics as well as, his discourses, songs and compositions continue to inspire spiritual seekers. Swami Tejomayananda’s legacy is one of bringing ancient wisdom into modern hearts, with love, clarity and devotion.
