H.H. Swami Chinmayananda (8 May 1916 to Eternity)

The main goal of his life was to reach the knowledge and wisdom of the ancient Hindu scriptures to the common person in everyday life.

Paduka Puja
Guru Paduka Puja is an offering to our Pujya Gurudev out of love, reverence and gratitude for all of the teachings that we have received from our entire Guru Parampara (lineage of teachers). It also represents our complete surrender at the lotus feet of our Guru, who is guiding us all along in this wonderful but unknown spiritual journey.
Here is some material on how to perform Guru Paduka Puja.
Daily Sadhanas
Sadhanas or spiritual practices are essential part of a daily routine of any seeker in order to make a steady progress. However, there are so many spiritual practices provided by our Gurus over centuries that it might be difficult for us to identify and select the right sadhana at the right time in your spiritual path. This is where Pujya Gurudev’s teachings come to help us and what’s more we can directly perform them with the help of some guidance provided here.
Perform your daily sadhanas as prescribed by Pujya Gurudev under his guidance here…
