An Ode To Gurudev
11th October 2024The He(Art) of Love – CHYK workshop
13th October 2024The Chinmaya Setukari wing of CMUK were blessed to be able to spend Swami Swaroopananda's last evening in London with him on 7 October 2024. The evening consisted of a dinner bhiksha offered to Swamiji followed by an intimate satsang where Swamiji answered the Setukari's pressing questions with practical, loving guidance.
Swamiji instantly recognised that for most Setukaris, in their 30s and 40s, the recurring problem is 'how do I balance all my responsibilities without neglecting my spiritual sadhanas?' Swamiji beautifully explained that the central premise of this question was based on the mistaken practice of compartmentalising spirituality from other aspects of our lives, be it work or family. Instead, the key to happy living is the science of integration - understanding that spirituality is the golden thread that must bind all aspects of our lives. Work and family life must support spiritual life and spiritual life must in turn support work and family life.
The Setukaris left uplifted, with renewed motivation to implement Swamiji's sage advice in our everyday lives.
