New App from CMH: Vedanta Daily — Simplified Insights into Eternal Truth

Men of great wisdom, like Pujya Gurudeva Chinmayananda, descend to our plane out of their kindness and a keen desire to share the highest truths. Vedanta, literally means the ultimate end or culmination of Knowledge (Vedas). Many great Rishis, Masters and Acharyas have endeavored to take us closer to this Absolute Truth. Swami Chinmayananda was foremost among them in elevating any seeker to gain easy access to this wisdom. He spent
decades tirelessly simplifying this abstract Truth to guide our minds, that is distracted in numerous ways.

Though a lot of his works are available through books, audio and video, our current rushed lifestyle always adds a
barrier from tapping into this wisdom. Today technology comes to our rescue, thanks to the relentless efforts of Chinmaya Mission Houston and the Chinmaya Jivan Darshan team under the able guidance and vision of Pujya Acharya Darshana Aunty. Backed by their experience and runaway success of the apps Gita 365 and Upanishad Daily, they have raised the bar again, providing easy access to this treasure trove of Vedanta.

On the anniversary of Pujya Gurudeva on August 3, 2022, a new app, Vedanta Daily, was made available via Google Playstore and Apple Appstore. This app endeavors to bring a simplified daily dose of five great contributions of Swami Chinmayananda – Logic of Spirituality, Sadhana Panchakam, Atma Bodha, Meditate with the Master,
and Journey of the Master.

Through a clever use of animation, videos and simple language, the app guides the seeker to seek permanent happiness through Logic of Spirituality. Adi Shankara’s Sadhana Panchakam may be terse five slokas, but Swami Chinmayananda’s commentary explains the values in detail. The journey continues with Atma Bodha which reveals the nature of our true Self. The goals defined and clarified by the aforementioned three is made easily achievable
by the step-by-step guidance in “Meditate with the Master.” This journey, which appears impossible, is made inspirational by Pujya Gurudeva’s own life, and it offers exemplary hope in refreshing and renewing our spiritual inner journey through “Journey of the Master.”

Darshana Aunty’s experience and heartfelt desire to bring Gurudeva’s wisdom in a simple, clear form ensures that Vedanta Daily is easily comprehensible to any honest seeker. Not content with their past laurels, the Chinmaya Jivan Darshan team is inspired to bring Darshana Aunty’s vision and Gurudeva’s wisdom to every seeker’s phone at no cost. The effort of mining Swamiji’s works and distilling them to a couple-of-minutes dose of Vedanta is
monumental. Seekers are given enough knowledge to keep their spiritual fire growing; and, guiding them to learn more from Pujya Gurudeva’s works through the Vedanta Daily App is a transformative and effective endeavor.
