Swami Paramārthānanda’s Gītā Bhāṣya talks reveal how Vedānta turns daily life into quiet joy and clarity.
Change what you notice, and the ordinary becomes sacred.

@chennaicorp, could you please arrange to remove the cable wires stored on the footpath, which are obstructing pedestrian access?

In 2016, Dr. Geetha Manjunath was heading AI research at Xerox's Bengaluru lab, a role that followed a PhD from IISc, a stint as Principal Scientist at HP Labs, and over two decades building enterprise AI systems. Then her cousin, in her early forties, was diagnosed with breast cancer at a stage too advanced to treat.
"The mammogram had missed her cancer earlier," Geetha would later say. She quit her job soon after.
Mammography, the global standard for breast cancer screening, has real limits. It uses ionising radiation, is often painful enough that women actively avoid it, and is known to be less reliable in younger women and in the dense breast tissue common across Indian women. In India, where breast cancer accounts for over a quarter of all cancer diagnoses and the five-year survival rate trails far behind the United States and Australia, late detection is not a statistic. It is the difference between a cure and a funeral.
Geetha had spent years working with thermal imaging on unrelated projects. She wondered if temperature variation in breast tissue could reveal what mammograms missed, and built the science to test it. The result, Thermalytix, requires no radiation, no incisions, and no physical contact: a woman sits before a thermal sensor for a few minutes, and an AI model trained on clinical data analyses the image.
Niramai Health Analytix, the company Geetha founded and now leads as CEO and CTO, has since screened over 300,000 women across more than 20 countries, built on 39 patents and validated in 55+ peer-reviewed clinical studies. Geetha herself has been named to Forbes India's Top 20 Self-Made Women and inducted as a Fellow of the Indian National Academy of Engineering.
For India, where cost and discomfort keep millions of women away from regular screening, a radiation-free test that can be deployed in a primary clinic is not a convenience. It is a chance to catch what would otherwise be caught too late.
Yet all affirm two fundamentals: Moksha is life’s highest goal and, once attained, is eternal - ending the cycle of samsara forever.

What is Moksha?
The three major Vedantic traditions answer differently, but they agree on something profound.
A short thread on Advaita, Vishishtadvaita, Dvaita, and the shared vision of humanity’s highest goal…
Advaita: Identity of Atman and Brahman
• Vishishtadvaita: Eternal loving union with the personal Brahman
• Dvaita: Eternal communion with God while preserving individuality
Moksha is the highest goal in Hinduism, but its nature is understood differently.
• Advaita: Realize Atman = Brahman
• Vishishtadvaita: Eternal loving union and service to God
• Dvaita: Eternal bliss in God’s abode, while remaining distinct
Krishna says even heaven is not permanent.
Good deeds may take us to svarga, a place of joy. But when our merit is used up, we return to earthly life.
The Gita reminds us: don’t seek temporary pleasure alone. Seek freedom.
Samsāra is the unfolding of cause and effect across lifetimes. Every thought, word, and action (karma) shapes the next chapter of our journey. The question is not whether we’re creating karma, but what kind we’re creating today. #Hinduism#Karma#Samsara#Vedanta
In the Bhagavad Gita (11.33), Krishna reveals : Your role is not to control history, but to play your part with courage and integrity.
Ego says, “I am the doer.”
Wisdom says, “I am the instrument.”
The Bhagavad Gita (11.55) gives us a simple 5-step path to God:
• Do your duty and offer the results to God.
• Keep God as your highest goal.
• Be a loving devotee.
• Let go of unhealthy attachments.
• Hold no hatred toward anyone.
Arjuna’s fear before Krishna’s Viswaroopa reveals a profound truth: surrender is not a moment, but a journey.
Though he sought refuge in Krishna, traces of aham (ego) and mama (attachment) remained.
Duty is not born bitter or sweet. We season it with ego, burden it with attachment, and then complain of its taste.
Do the work given to you cheerfully, and the ordinary task becomes worship. That is surrender: saranaagathy in action.
Saashtaanga Namaskaara is more than a gesture of reverence. It is the moment the ego bows before truth, when resistance yields to duty, and confusion gives way to clarity.
In the Bhagavad Gita, Krishna asks Arjuna to be nimitta mātram, a mere instrument of the Divine. We become instruments of Bhagavaan not by seeking control, but by aligning our actions with dharma. When we uphold dharma, we participate in the cosmic order.
Kṛṣṇa as Kāla is neither sentimental nor savage. He does not bend karma to favor or punish. The universe is not ruled by divine whim, but by moral causality. Bhagavān simply ensures that each being meets the consequences of its own choices.
The Bhagavad Gita’s truth: You control your effort, not the outcome. Time moves relentlessly. Death is inevitable. History unfolds through forces larger than us.
Our task is not to freeze in fear, but to do our duty with courage and integrity.
Be an instrument, not a spectator.
Arjuna knew Krishna as friend, guide, and compassionate Lord. But standing before the Viswaroopa form, he trembled.
He saw that the Divine is not only the giver of life but also “time” that devours all things.
What are @chennaicorp 's service obligations to an honest tax paying citizen and property owner of Chennai? If you take the track record of the last decade, it has reduced to little or nothing in the central parts of Chennai. This is right next to Valluvar Kottam.
Our streets are getting taken over.
Our rights are being trampled.
Nobody cares for citizens rights.
We pay more taxes to city and have no say in anything.
Unknown persons ( mostly private moneylenders) take over streets to park their seized vehicles outside our homes .
This is the story of a whole street being taken over by jay parking. Not a single vehicle belongs to a resident of this street. All the cars belong to people from other areas coming and parking here.
This video is Self explanatory. The wrecker vans used to being these vehicles here is clearly seen the end of this video.
We hope @CMOTamilnadu takes serious notice of the non performance of civic officials and @ChennaiTraffic . @omjasvinMD@JCDPrabhakar
We trust God as Creator and Protector, but struggle when He appears as Time, the force of endings and loss.
The Gita asks us to accept all three faces of Time: creation, preservation, and dissolution. True faith is trusting the Divine even when we do not understand His plan.
