For over forty years Swami Chinmayananda was one of the the leading interpreters and teachers of the Hindu philosophical system of Advaita Vedanta,which establishes with exact logic the identity of the self (Atman) with the infinite (Brahman).Through a variety of institutions and methods particularly the jnana yajnas,rituals of truth,he worked to rejuvenate Hinduism by making hitherto inaccesssible insights of the Upanishads and the Bhagavadgita available to one and all.Thereby,he was instrumentasl in bringing the wisdom of the Hindu heritage to everyone,regardless of caste,creed,gender or nationality. This is the first bio-graphy of Swami Chinmayananda and retraces his journey from the boyhood in Kerala,through his carefree college days and rebellion against British imperialism then his spiritual tutelage under Swami Shivananda and Swami Tapovan.An account is given detailing the growth of a worldwide movement under his guidance.Included are conversations with him on different subjects that demonstrate his sharp intellect,deep wisdom and quick wit.He is undoubtedly one of the outstanding and influential figures in the modern history of India The book was first published in the year 989 in USA and suseqquently published and 12,000 copies were re-printed in India five times
