The Colossal Cultural Ambassador

yadayadahi dharmasya glanirbhavathi bharatha abyuttthana adharmasya tadatmanam srujamyaham.

When there is a decline in the world of righteousness, almighty will send a man to uplift the dharma and eradicate injustice.Instances are numerous in this regard.

The birth of Shri. Shankara Bhagavatpada in Kerala, with a spiritual and scholarly brain, embraced sanyas to become a great sage, learning the secrets of spiritual An ardent Texts and Vedanta, accepting Shri. Gowdapada Bhagavatpada as his guru, and with his scholarly acumen.

Defeating the scholars, climbing the seat of scholarship in Banaras, touring the country by foot,

Spreading the message of ‘advaita’ throughout the country, an ardent devotee of Shri. Sharadamba, and establishing spiritual mutts in the four corners of the country, placing his young and efficient

Disciples to head the same, writing bhashyas for Upanishads, and innumerable stotras for the common Man, stressing the need to shun material things, and embrace the lotus feet of the Lord, through

Absolute surrender to attain salvation from the ocean of birth and death.

At the young age of thirty-two, he went to kedar, and after fulfilling the life’s mission, attained jeevanmukti

In the same parampara, a star was born to spread the message of ‘THE SONG CELESTIAL’. It is a pity that the country has not spared its thought to commemorate the centenary of this noble son which falls this year. He is Shree Swami Chinmayananda who was born in the year 1916 in Kerala, like Shri.Bhagavatpada, With fire, faith and ferocity in the genes.  He, being a ferocious product with zeal to absorb everything, took to sanyas, and studied spiritual texts and Vedanta under Shri. Tapovanam Maharaja, in Hrishikesh.

HEARD HIS VIBRANT VOICE

A ‘VISIONARY WITH A VIBRANT VOICE LIKE LION’, he started the ‘GEETHA GYANA YAGYA MOVEMENT’

To spread the message of the ‘THE SONG CELESTIAL’ which went on nearly for three decades. In the morning, he used to conduct classes on Upanishads and in the evening gave, LUCID, LEARNED AND LIGHTNING LECTURES ON THE ‘SONG CELESTIAL.’

‘PEOPLE USED TO THRONG IN HUNDREDS, HEARD HIS VIBRANT VOICE, WITH RAPT ATTENTION, CHANTING TWO SLOKAS AND EXPLAIN THE MEANING. NEXT DAY REPEAT AND CONTINUE. HE USED TO ALLOW

A GAP OF 15 MINUTES FOR PEOPLE TO FRESH THEMSELVES.

E.g., A person goes to Delhi to receive an award and returns after two days.

         Likewise, ‘A MAN  MUST STAY IN THIS WORLD AND RETURN, AFTER THE PURPOSE IS OVER’.       ‘TE TVAM SVARGA LOKAM VISHALAM, KSHEENE PUNYE MARTHYA LOKAM VISHANTHI’.

II.A mother has left her young child with her elder one, with some toys. After playing for a while, the

Child gets disgusted and cries for its mother, who after coming takes the child in her bosom. Likewise,

‘MAN MUST SHUN MATERIAL THINGS AND GO FOR THE DIVINE’.

HIS CONTRIBUTION TO THE NATION IS LIKE AN OCEAN. THE GOVERNMENT CAN COMMEMORATE

HIS CENTENARY BY INSTITUTING A CHAIR IN ANY UNIVERSITY IN THE NAME OF THIS PROUD SON OF THE NATION AND ALSO BRING OUT A STAMP IN RECOGNITION OF HIS SERVICES. SWEET SON OF THE LAND WHAT A GLORY YOU HAVE ACHIEVED
