Dharmashaastra
2026-03-01 10:00 - 11:30 | 8 Seasons Drive, Scarborough
Dharma is the very essence and substratum which upholds, nourishes, sustains and integrates the universe. Sweetness is the dharma of sugar, sweet-less sugar is a myth.
Values uphold one’s character, nourish one’s life, sustain joy, give meaning to life and integrate society. Hence values are called Dharma. At a deeper level the Lord Himself is called Dharma, for He is the very essence of the world of names and forms and the One who sustains and nourishes it.
The scriptures related to Dharma are called Dharma Shastras. In the language of management, Dharma Shastras are the “Science of Desire Management”. They help us manage our desires and ultimately sublimate them by giving us a dina charya (daily plan) and a jivan charya (life plan).
The right understanding of the words ‘Hindu’, ‘philosophy’, ‘religion’, ‘religious sect’ (sampradaya), and ‘secular rule’ (dharma raja), would foster more harmony amongst mankind.
In their own unique styles the great master Gurudev Swami Chinmayananda, Guruji Swami Tejomayananda, and Swamini Vimlananda have simplified the above-mentioned aspects of dharma.

Upadesa Sara
2026-03-03 11:30 - 12:30 | Online
Upadesa Sara – the essence of all teaching – is one of the most popular Vedantic texts.
It explains the paths of Action (Karma Yoga), Yoga (Astanga Yoga) and Knowledge (Jnana Yoga) and how they lead to the final goal of Self Knowledge.
The great sage, Bhagavan Ramana Maharishi presents the subject in a simple and beautiful way.
Swami Tejomayananda’s commentary further simplifies the text and brings out its essence in an appealing way.

Ramacharitamanas
2026-03-03 20:00 - 21:00 | Online
In his composition Srī Rāmacaritamānasa, Gosvāmi Tulasīdāsa 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 Srī 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.

Self Unfoldment
2026-03-03 20:30 - 22:00 | Online
In an age where scientific minded youngsters are turning away from religion, there is a great need for a clear, systematic and logical explanation of the ancient spiritual teachings of Hinduism. That is exactly what Pujya Gurudev Swami Chinmayananda has given us in Self-Unfoldment – a step-by-step analysis of the thought development of Vedanta.
In precise, simple and profound language, Gurudev takes us from the fundamental principles of life to the very highest philosophical truths in this spiritual masterpiece. Self Unfoldment has inspired thousands of young people over the years, bringing out the noblest and best in them.

Vivekachudamani
2026-03-05 08:30 - 22:00 | Online
Vivekachudamani is the cream of the Upanishads and the Bhagavad Gita.
By developing the quality of discrimination, a power solely accorded to man, one can distinguish between the eternal and the temporal, which in turn opens the gateway to peace and happiness. Vivekachudamani, literally translated as the ‘Crest Jewel of Discrimination’ is a compendium of 580 verses on the ways to know, understand and reach Brahman, the Reality in us.
It 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.
A deep study of Vivekachudamani, ensures no other help is needed for leading a spiritual life and guiding one to self-improvement.

Manah Shodhanam
2026-03-05 19:30 - 20:30 | Oakville, Oakville, Ontario, Canada
The problem of mind control is as old as the hills.
The mind never tires of playing tricks and there is no way to peace unless it is tamed. Indeed he is strong who conquers others, but he is mighty who conquers himself.
This text and commentary helps us understand the working of our mind and gives practical solutions of how to tackle it. With a pure mind, life becomes cheerful and meaningful and finally peaceful and blissful.
