Guided Meditation

About Acharya Gaurang:

In accordance with Swami Chinmayananda’s (Pujya Gurudev) instructions, the Nanavatys embarked upon a life dedicated to spreading spiritual knowledge after completing their Vedantic studies in 1982.

Being one of us, Gaurangji is in a unique position to understand our problems and guide us along the path of spirituality. His words are skillful as he translates anecdotes from daily life into insightful expositions on Vedanta.  With steadfastness, commitment, and sincerity, he keeps reminding everyone to live a life of simplicity filled with noble values.

Independence Day & Shri Krishna

Janamashtami Celebration
                                                                                              Sri Krishna Janmashtami


"So far as I am able to judge, nothing has been left undone, either by man or nature, to make India the most extraordinary country that the sun visits on his rounds. Nothing seems to have been forgotten, nothing overlooked."~ Mark Twain ~

"Shri Krishna is not a historical person; Bhagavad Gita is not written by a historian.
The birth of Shri Krishna is a fact repeated every moment in everybody's life.
In and through the clamour of the lower beastly gruntings in our bosom we surely hear very often the enchanting notes of a warbling music of Truth and peace.
The divine flute player is never far away from our bosom. To be alert to catch His melody, in and through the boisterous wooing of the baser in us, is to live the life of devotion and spiritual seeking.
To all those who sit thus in vigil, Shri Krishna is born again and again.
Shri Krishna is not a historical figure; He is the perpetual Truth. He does not belong to the past. He is of the ever present immediate moment.
~ Swami Chinmayananda ~

Guru Purnima Celebration

gurupurnima

One of the most important days for all Spiritual seekers is Guru Purnima.  This holy occasion is associated with the Jayanti (birthday) of Sri Veda Vyasa Rishi.  A visionary like none else, Sri Veda Vyasa Rishi systemized the Scripture of Sanatana Dharma, the Veda, and contributed many original Scriptures such as Shrimad Bhagavad Gita and Shrimad Bhagavatam as well.  The love this Saint has shown for all of us is immeasurable.  Thus, on Guru Purnima we offer our homage to Sri Veda Vyasa Rishi and to the entire Guru – Shishya Parampara he represents.  It is this unbroken lineage that keeps Spirituality alive and available for all seekers throughout all ages.


All are cordially invited with their family and friends to celebrate Guru Purnima -
When:  Tuesday, July 7th from 7.30 – 9.00pm
Where:  Chinmaya Dhara
