============================================================================== 1.#Opinion : Thursday 26, September 2024, 05:30. 3684 / 2. #On the Concept of Righteousness and Justice -8. Swami Krishnananda. // ============================================================================== The ethical or what are known as moral laws, also, stand by this test of spirit ruling the letter, intention standing above routine or outer form. Else, how would one explain the universally acceptable law that no one can injure or harm another on any account and yet feel justified in maintaining defence forces to avert self-annihilation? Here is a subtlety which accepts human behaviour and conduct to be regulated not by the instinct of love and hate, but by obedience to the law of the spirit transcending the isolated instincts of individuals or even a group of individuals.

Chinmaya International Foundation (CIF): Hari Om. In the tranquil setting of Adi Sankara Nilayam, the Chinmaya Mission Kolkata study group of 52 campers, accompanied by Br. Diwakar Chaitanya, had a deeply enriching retreat from 9 to 12 September 2024 on the Tapovan Shatkam.  Tapovan Shatkam is a melodious composition that summarises Upanishadic Wisdom in six verses as a hymn to our Param Guru Sri Swami Tapovan Maharaj. The camp was facilitated by Br. Ved Chaitanya from CIF and Br. Diwakar Chaitanya from Chinmaya Mission Kolkata.  Participants had the opportunity to attend live sessions of the Joyful Living webinar, engage in soulful bhajans, offer Chuttuvilakku (lighting 1008 oil-lamps around the temple) at the Chinmaya Swayambhu Ayyappa Temple and partake in meditative sessions.  Overall, the retreat was a celebration of spirituality and personal growth, leaving everyone uplifted and inspired. ============================================================================== Wednesday 25,

Swami Krishnananda. // ====================================================================================== Though it may be conceded that the Contract Theory is perhaps the truth of the historical origin of human law and government, even this manner of the origin of law must have itself originated from a principle which ought to have a logical priority over the historical accident of the origin of law as propounded by the Contract Theory. Here we come to a subtle philosophical point which would not ordinarily occur to the mind of the common man. Why does there come about a necessity for man to frame a law at all by mutual consent? The answer to this question is the logical ground which explains the meaning of law and the necessity for law. The principle which is prior to the human effort of mutua
