Yoga is skill in action. - Swami Chinmayananda #SwamiChinmayananda #ChinmayaMission #ChinmayaMissionToronto #InspirationalQuotes #QuoteofTheDay #qotd

Our children are our future, and mothers are the ones who mold children. In order to do this, a mother has to spend extra energy, and this is the most expensive gift we can give to our children - our time. ~ Swami Chimayananda

Diwali is known as the festival of light; it also known as ‘Dpval’, which means ‘a row of lights’. It is named for the occasion of ri Rma’s return after 14 years of exile, when the citizens lit rows of lamps outside their homes and in the streets to welcome him back. We are currently exiled, each of us, from our own Self. We are in the forest of ignorance, seeking happiness from the world of experiences. We can return to ourselves by cultivating a mind free from prejudic...e and clear knowledge free from doubt. Thereafter, there can be no conflict. In Hinduism, light symbolises knowledge and darkness, ignorance. It is said that knowledge gives humility (vidy dadti vinaya); if it does not, it cannot be called knowledge. Knowledge is the nature of that which is True and Real (satyam jñnam anantam brahma). How do we know when we have knowledge? A wise person is one who does not continuously grieve (na anuocanti pait). Any festival is an opportunity not only to enjoy the company of family and friends, to enjoy special food and celebrations; it is also an opportunity to look inward and recognise the symbolic meaning of the festival in our own life. At a time when the nights are becoming longer, the days are becoming shorter and darkness seems to overwhelm the light, let us kindle the light of knowledge within ourselves. Let us offer service to the people around us; let us extend the hand of friendship and be compassionate. Let us gain a true understanding of ourselves and the world around us. Let us develop love for all beings. Wishing you a very happy Dpval, filled with the light of love and wisdom. Brahmacharini Shripriya Chaitanya @chinmaya_uk

A message from Chinmaya Mission Worldwide: Dear All, Hari Om!... Wishing all a happy and joyful Diwali! Pujya Gurudev’s message gives us the correct perspective on the festival of Diwali and advises us to invoke the qualities of goodness and remake our destiny! Pujya Swami Swaroopananda, in his message, urges us to work towards removing the darkness and lighting up the world. This Diwali, let us spread the message of light and share Pujya Gurudev’s and Pujya Swami Swaroopananda’s messages with all. A gentle reminder to join in for the Diwali celebrations streaming LIVE from Chinmaya International Foundation (CIF) on Chinmaya Channel (YouTube), on 14 November 2020 from 6:45 PM IST (1.15am UK time).
