Greed, hatred, jealousy, dishonesty….we become slaves to these emotions as they penetrate deeper and deeper into our psyche and as we forget the importance of religion in our lives. The very foundations on which society is based and sustained are eaten away by these negative feelings. We have forgotten our Divinity.Swami Gokulananda, author of How to Overcome Mental Tension,has given many lectures and interviews on the subject of developing a positive attitude toward life, and many of these, edited for publication, are included in this book. As a senior monk of the Ramakrishna Order Swami Gokulananda brings much of Vedanta philosophy to his discussion of the ways we can learn to transform our lives and attitudes from darkness to light..Swami Gokulananda died in 2007.
This booklet is an edited version of the article ‘From a Small Shrine to the Universal Temple’ by Swami Ananyananda published in Consecration Ceremony Souvenir released during the consecration ceremony of the new Universal Temple at Sri Ramakrishna Math, Chennai in the year 2000. Swami Ananyananda, the former editor of Prabuddha Bharata, brings out the historical journey of Sri Ramakrishna Math, Chennai from its humble origins at Flora Cottage (near Vivekanandar Illam), where Swami Ramakrishnananda installed a small picture of Sri Ramakrishna he had brought with him, to its present-day location in Mylapore. This book will be of great value to the devotees and well-wishers of Sri Ramakrishna Math, Chennai and to those who wish to learn about its history.
We go through much effort to learn a career to be successful. We are under constant stress to achieve social status and material success. Yet we neglect learning how to manage our own lives so that our minds are at peace. What can we do? The author offers us a road map to developing an approach to life that balances the stress of life. The key is to change our ways before nature hits us hard and makes us change. (Book Contents) 1. Know the Ultimate Goal of Your Life; 2. Introspect to Improve; 3. Manage Your Thoughts; 4. Learn the Art of Action; 5. Practice! Practice! Practice! 6. Developing Will Power; 7. Causes of Human Suffering; 8. Live Life in the Spirit of a Game; 9. Balance the Use of the Mind and the Intellect; 10. Control Your Anger; 11. Curb Your Jealousy;
In this book the author deals with different arrays of thoughts and problems of philosophy and religion, their ups and downs in connection with the ever evolving phases of human societies, their harmonies and disharmonies, their various distinctive characteristics, and also their divergent ways of approaching the ultimate goal.
