Atma means the Self.  To know the Self is the purpose of evolution and human life.  Bodha means knowledge.  Through Atmabodha, Sri Adi Shankaracharya introduces us to fundamental concepts in Vedanta and helps us to discriminate between the Self & not-self.  In this text, there are many beautiful analogies, especially from nature, which constantly remind us of our Divine nature.  Please support this podcast by pressing the follow button and support Chinmaya Mission Mumbai projects taken up by Swami Swatmananda, through generous donations.

There is a sajna happening in our personality everyday. Not only while we are awake, through the senses, but also when we are asleep, through the Pranas and the mind.  Prashnopanishad Chapter 4 Mantra 3 described that Apana is Garhapatya fire, Prana is the Ahavaniya fire and Vyana is the Anvahaarya-pacana.  Mantra 4 says that Samaana Prana distributes equally the oblations of the inspiration and expirations, he is the priest.  The mind is the sacrificer or Yajaman and Udaana Is the fruit of the sacrifice. Udaana leads the sacrificer everyday in deep sleep to Brahman.   For good sleep, punya is very important.Please support this podcast by pressing the follow button and support Chinmaya Mission Mumbai projects taken up by Swami Swatmananda, through generous donations.
