Chinmaya Mission

Study the scriptures seriously. Once you have their ideas in your mind, start putting them into practice through the various yogas of bhakti, karma, jnana, and so on. By all these methods, the mind becomes subtle. The subtler the mind, the greater and deeper is the study of the scriptures.

Exploring Dharma and Spiritual Growth

Principles of Advanta Vedanta through Dharma Sevak Course

The overall meaning of dharma is, “that which upholds, nourishes, sustains, and integrates.” Dharma is also used synonymously with values, since values uphold our character, nourish our actions, sustain a purposeful life, and integrate society. The Dharma Sevak Course is aimed at giving core knowledge of the principles of Advaita Vedanta and key spiritual practices to sincere seekers and devotees to set them firmly on the spiritual path.

With an exposure to the Vedantic wisdom of the Upanishads and the Bhagavad Gita, the course offers clarity on the purpose and benefits of deep spiritual practice. When a person's inner personality is integrated, they tap into hidden strengths, gaining balance, clarity, and courage. This inner harmony empowers them to contribute meaningfully to society.

Centred in Him who is ever in your heart, act honestly with endless love, for the welfare and wellbeing of all others.
