CHINMAYA MISSION NIAGARA

With Pujya Swami Chinmayananda’s blessings and the Community’s support, Chinmaya Dhara will now serve as an abode of Bhagavan Radha-Krishna and function as a spiritual powerhouse for inculcating noble values in our children and empowering parents to lead peaceful and prosperous lives.

The value a family derives from our programs are manifold:
Priceless Heritage – which families get connected to and will always have access to because of their background with the Mission
Priceless Friendships – formed with like minded families
Priceless Knowledge – which having learned, helps to lead peaceful and prosperous lives. Peace and prosperity are perceived as mutually exclusive, but Vedanta teaches how to have both simultaneously.

To be able to continue to serve the spiritual needs of our Community we need your support. All families are humbly requested to join us for our Murti Sthapana and give as much as possible towards this noble cause. For those unable to attend, please give in advance. An opportunity to bring the Lord to one’s community is rare indeed.

Shrimad Bhagavad Gita – Chapter 7 Yoga of Wisdom & Nirvana Shatakam - Verses on Freedom

by Pujya Swami Shantananda

Morning Classes

Nirvana Shatakam (Text, Translation and Explanation)

Nirvana Shatakam

Nirvana Shatakam, also known as Atma Shatakam is a composition by Adi Shankaracharya. Although we call this a composition, Nirvana Shatakam is actually a declaration of his own intimate experience of the Absolute Joy of Self Realization. As such, this is not a text to be discoursed upon, but is to be meditated upon and directly experienced by every sincere seeker and student of Advaita Vedanta.

Evening Discourses

Bhagavad Gita Chapter 7

In chapter seven Lord Krishna gives concrete knowledge of the Absolute Reality. He describes His illusory energy in the material existence called Maya and declares how extremely difficult it is to surmount it. He also describes the four types of people attracted to divinity and the four types of people who are opposed to divinity. In conclusion He reveals that one with spiritual intelligence takes exclusive refuge of the Lord without reservation, in devotional service.

Kena Upanishad
With Acharya Gaurang

About Kena Upanishad:

Kenopanishad, an Upanishad of the Sama-Veda, is one of the most popular scriptures amongst the sacred Hindu texts. This timeless Vedantic exposition has four sections, the first two of which are in verse form and the latter two in prose form. It is indeed quite special that Adi Shankaracharya chose to write two commentaries on this Upanishad - Kenopanishad Pada Bhashya and Kenopanishad Bhasya.

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 ~
