Comment

Swami Chinmayananda Saraswati (born Balakrishna Menon; 8 May 1916 – 3 August 1993) was a Hindu spiritual leader and teacher. He inspired the formation of Chinmaya Mission, a worldwide nonprofit organization, which spreads the knowledge of Advaita Vedanta, the non-dual system of thought found in the Upanishads, which epitomizes the philosophical teachings of the Vedas.
Chinmayananda is known for teaching Bhagavad gita, the Upanishads, and other ancient Hindu scriptures. From 1951 onward, he spearheaded a global Hindu spiritual and cultural renaissance that popularised the religion's esoteric scriptural texts, teaching them in English all across India and abroad.
