Vivekachudamani\, literally translated as the ā€˜Crest Jewel of Discriminationā€™ is a compendium of 580 verses on the ways to know\, understand and reach Brahman\, the Reality in us. \nIt re-educates the student\, systematically provides a new vision of life. The goal and the path are both exhaustively dealt with\, in this elaborate treatment of Vedanta\, by Acharya Sankara. \nA deep study of Vivekachudamani\, ensures no other help is needed for leading a spiritual life and guiding one to self-improvement. \nFor more information please contact : adultprograms@chinmayatoronto.org URL:https://chinmayatoronto.org/event/vivekachudamani-2/2026-04-17/ LOCATION:Online CATEGORIES:Adult Classes,Events,Study group ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://chinmayatoronto.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/vivekachudamani1600.png GEO:36.2945874;-95.8569192 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Toronto:20260417T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Toronto:20260417T120000 DTSTAMP:20260417T015955 CREATED:20260130T023302Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260130T023302Z UID:10016515-1776423600-1776427200@chinmayatoronto.org SUMMARY:Ramacharitamanas DESCRIPTION:In his composition SrÄ« Rāmacaritamānasa\, Gosvāmi TulasÄ«dāsa declares that the Rāma kathā is most profound; many are the gems hidden in it. Just as a specialist is needed to discern the location of precious stones buried in the mountains\, so also is it the case for the gems embedded in the Rāma kathā. Swami Tejomayananda through his discourses manifests the self-effulgent jewel of bhakti in simple words soaked in devotion. In the process he sheds light on numerous facets of spiritual life. The crux of listening to or reading this story is to awaken and steadily deepen love for SrÄ« Rāma. This is what Swamiji emphasizes again and again. Devotion for Sri Rama enhances and embellishes knowledge. We believe that the prayer of all seekers will be for such love to take root in their heart: priya lāgahu mohi rāma. \nFor more information please contact adultprograms@chinmayatoronto.org URL:https://chinmayatoronto.org/event/ramacharitamanas-2/2026-04-17/ LOCATION:Online CATEGORIES:Adult Classes,Events,Study group ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://chinmayatoronto.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/Ramcharitmas1600.png GEO:36.2945874;-95.8569192 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Toronto:20260417T170000 DTEND;TZID=America/Toronto:20260417T203000 DTSTAMP:20260417T015955 CREATED:20251006T192601Z LAST-MODIFIED:20251006T192819Z UID:10015084-1776445200-1776457800@chinmayatoronto.org SUMMARY:OM Chanting Program DESCRIPTION:The Om Chanting Program runs parallel to the chanting curriculum in Balavihar.
