A young girl asked Swami Chinmayananda Whatever you teach is there in the books. What do I need a Guru For? His instant answer was Why don’t you ask this question to the books!

Such quick witted remarks of Swami Chinmayananda have been collected and placed into 54 photographs in a comic format. Each photograph carries a commentary in Swamiji’s own words, explaining the topic of the photograph.

Some of the topic discussed are:
Types of Love
How to mend a broken heart
Confidence
Striving for Excellence
The Law of Karma
Reincarnation
When did creation start?
Spirit and Matter
Good Health

This is an introductory book to Vedanta, something that can be gifted to the youth to help them meet life’s challenges. Swami Chinmayananda, one of the world’s greatest exponents of Vedanta, the science of life that underlies all faiths, authored more than 40 books and commentaries. His commentary on the Bhagawad Geeta is acknowledged as one of the best ever written in English.
