"His life itself is a scripture....."
Swami Chinmayananda, during his 42 years of teaching, came to be known as one of the most respected teachers of the ancient spiritual science called Vedanta. Swamiji expounded that teaching from lecture platforms around the globe, unfolding verse by verse, the meaning of the major Upanisads, the Bhagavad Gita, and other texts of Vedanta. However, his teaching did not stop when he stepped off the lecture platform. In fact, his entire life was a teaching. He taught at every breath.
The words he spoke during simple daily transactions or in response to a question served as powerful lessons toward a deeper understanding of self and the world. Even a simple action could become a potent teaching. A look, a word, a small but telling action was all that was needed to divinize the given moment or help the student resolve an inner conflict.
This book unfolds the vision of Vedanta through actual accounts of his students' personal encounters with Swamiji. These short vignettes addresses questions such as:
