All Members,

 Respected family members of this great holy Nation.

*REQUEST ALL  STUDENTS, PARENTS AND TEACHERS MUST READ THIS TOPIC

 **IT IS URGENT IMPORTANCE IN THE PRESENT SITUATION  OF THE NATION

6. Books To Begin With :

Ques: What books should I take up to begin with, Swamiji?

Ans: Always choose those books which inspire noble feelings in you, which bring new, uplifting ideas to your mind.

By reading a book, you should always become better.

The book should always take you higher and higher, in every way.

Again, read those books which add to your fund of real, useful knowledge.

Read the Ramayana,  the Mahabharata, Srimad Bhagavatham, Srimad Bhagavad-Gita and  all  Puranas  first.

They are full of morals and inspiring stories.

Read abridged editions, if you have no time for the originals.




"Read Sri Swami Adi Sankaracharya, Sri Ramanujacharya, and Sri Madhvacharya and  their  great  writings."
"Read some of the books written by many  later  Acharyas  19th  and  20th  centuries, such  as  Sri Ramakrishna, Swami Vivekananda, Sri  Ramana Maharishi, Sri Aurobindo, Swami Sivananda, Swami Chinmayananda, Swami Krishnananda, Swami Chidananda  and  so  on."

Swami Sivananda  books  are  very  simple.

 He gives the essence of religion in simple language. 

 As you know, he has written many books specially for young boys and girls. 

 Read his “Ethical Teachings,” “Sure Ways for Success in Life and God-realisation,” “Practice of Brahmacharya,” “Students’ Success in Life,” “Divine Stories,” “Divine Life for Children,” “Gita for the Young,” “Gita Essence for Children” etc. Study his works on Mind Control and the Cultivation of Virtues. 

You will be immensely benefited.

NOTE : -

 In Bharatham  and in Hinduism  there  are  plenty of  different  literature  available,  which  is  not  in  other  religions,  and  countries.  All  are  TRUTH  only.

 Not as  dos  and  don'ts  as  in Christianity and  Islam  as  well  as  ignorant stories  in  these  foreign  religions.

Thank you for reading

The Mahabharata -  Speech by Swami Vivekananda - Delivered at the Shakespeare Club, Pasadena, California, February 1, 1900)   The other epic about which I am going to speak to you this evening, is called the Mahâbhârata. It contains the story of a race descended from King Bharata, who was the son of Dushyanta and Shakuntalâ. Mahâ means great, and Bhârata means the descendants of Bharata, from whom India has derived its name, Bhârata. Mahabharata means Great India, or the story of the great descendants of Bharata. The scene of this epic is the ancient kingdom of the Kurus, and the story is based on the great war which took place between the Kurus and the Panchâlas. So the region of the quarrel is not very big. This epic is the most popular one in India; and it exercises the same authority in India as Homer's poems did over the Greeks. As ages went on, more and more matter was added to it, until it has become a huge book of about a hundred thousand couplets. All sorts of

CHAPTER 2. HINDU SCRIPTURES : 1.5     1.The Scriptures : 5 5. The Ramayana The Ramayana, the Adi-Kavya or the first epic poem, relates the story of Sri Rama, the ideal man. It is the history of the family of the solar race descended from Ikshvaku, in which was born Sri Ramachandra, the Avatara of Lord Vishnu, and his three brothers. The ideal characters like Rama, Sita, Lakshmana, Bharata and Sri Hanuman that we find in Ramayana firmly establish Hindu Dharma in our minds. The story of the birth of Rama and his brothers, their education and marriages, the exile of Sri Rama, the carrying off and recovery of Sita, his wife, the destruction of Ravana, the Rakshasa King of Lanka, and the reign of Sri Rama, are described in detail in Ramayana. How a man should behave towards his superiors, equals and inferiors, how a king ought to rule his kingdom, how a man should lead his life in this world, how he can obtain his release, freedom and perfection, may be learnt from this excellen

1. We have the famous immortal metaphor of the chariot explaining the Atma and the Body.       2. In the chariot sits the Sarathi ( driver), and the Yodha ( warrior).       3. In the body stays the Paramatma, the Self and the Jeevatma, the Ego and the entire technique of the Adhyatma Yoga is explained.     4. Here the Ratham ( chariot) represents our body,       5. Five horses are our five sense-organs ( Panchendriya),     6. Lagan ( kadjnan/saddles) of the horses is our Buddhi(intelligence),     7.  The Sarathi is our Mind,     8. Yodha is our Atma.
