Hari OM
'Freedays' are the 'gather our thoughts' days; Q&As; a general review of the week so far…
As your aachaarya is absent from 'central' for the next month, some pre-scheduled items here at Free-day. The focus will be other places to find reading and material to ponder upon.
The obvious place to begin is with Chinmaya Mission. It is the lineage which brought forth this blog, after all. You will find links to the main page and also to various centres around the world on the sidebar. Why would you go to the main page? There you will find the biographies of the senior aachaaryas, a history of the mission and lots of interesting articles and news, advance warning of events and workshops as well as the link to the Indian part of the publishing side of the mission.
Each of the centres will have very different pages, advising what is happening locally and if you have been emboldened by your readings here, you are encouraged to locate your nearest centre and go introduce yourself! Find out about study groups for the prakarana grantha and Bhagavad Gita. Experience the difference of being part of a group over reading alone.
Chinmaya International Foundation is the home of the research and scholastic branches of the mission. Its head is Yamini's own batch aachaarya and its Sanskrit specialist was her tutor at Sandeepany in this noble language (not that she in anyway excelled, but what little she knows is thanks to swami-ji!). On that site, you will find more about e-mail courses in Sanskrit and Vedanta. If you have read here for some time and feel you have a familiarity, then take a look!
