Swami Swatmananda visits Devi Groups

Sevikas: Vinita Asrani, Sheila Chitnis, Aditi Agarwala, Abha Shroff, Geeta Kothari at Chinmaya Sagar In a talk peppered with humour and wit, Swamiji explained that while Karma is action (speech or thought) performed with a sense of doership, Karma Yoga is selfless, dedicated action. Karma binds and Karma Yoga purifies the mind. But ONLY KNOWLEDGE can liberate us. In order to make the journey from Karma to Karma yoga, one has to work to 1. Purify the intention behind action and 2. Drop doership of action. To help us achieve this, Swamiji shared the eleven principles of Karma Yoga. Through a video clip of Gurudev’s talk (Bhagawad Gita Chapter 3), Swamiji highlighted the importance of Yagna spirit in performing action. Inspired to thus ‘Walk the Talk’ on this journey, the gathering then dispersed. - Report by Reena Rajpal
