Dec 14, 2021 | New page added to the website
A new page has been added to this website entitled Bhagavad Gita.
Those who would like to prepare themselves through special readings and audios on the Bhagavad Gita given by Gurudev Swami Sivananda and his eminent disciples, links have been provided for the special websites of H.H. Swami Krishanandaji and H.H. Swami Venkateshanandaji, both of whose Centenaries are being celebrated. Swami Krishanandaji's centenary is April 25th, 2022 and Swami Venkateshanandaji's centenary is on December 29th, 2021. Swami Krishanandaji gave several powerful series on the Bhagavad Gita. The links include both the audio and text, so that you can read along as Swamiji speaks. Swami Venkateshanandaji wrote the "Song of God," in the form of Daily Readings on the Bhagavad Gita. It is a wonderful book, in daily doses, and perhaps one that you might want to continue with for the whole year!
Also included is Gurudev's translation of the Bhagavad Gita and the link to H.H. Swami Chidanandaji's booklet "Gita Vision." It is based on a series of talks Swamiji gave during Sadhana Week just prior to his 75th birthday celebrations. It is a short booklet, profound and simple to read for those who may not have the time to read or listen to the wider selection from Swami Krishanandaji and Swami Venkateshanandaji.
We recommend all the material. They are the timeless sharings of great spiritual luminaries and have provided spiritual sustenance to seekers throughout the world.
