Ideas in books, however sacred they may be, cannot and will never constitute a culture. Bharateeya Culture is there only when the generation strives to live the philosophical truths of the mystic Rishis in its everyday life.
How to live spiritual beauty and bring its laughter and cheer into the world of fears and competitions, conflicts and confusions, joys nad sorrows is the theme of the art of living discussed in the Bhagawad Geeta
In short 10-15 min. talks on the salient themes of the Geeta, taking two or three verses at a time, I have tried to bring home to the youth of our nation this Science of Man-Making. If the youth have the book – Art of Man Making* with them, then they will read it at the time of listening to the audio in silent attention, allowing these ideas to sink into them, slowly, imperceptibly. These are the values that created the mighty heroes of the past who built up the glory that was BHARAT. I see clearly the reward of such psychological treatment with spiritual ideals. Do You?
Will you not contribute to such a total national resurrection in our moral and dynamic stature? Jai Jai Jagadeeshwara!
– Swami Chinmayananda
