Ramayana &#8211; the most glorious epic of Hindu Culture , has enumerable hidden gems for the growth of a sincere seeker. To understand the nature of God, one has to know Him intimately. <br>\n\nSwami Abhedananda in these series of talks on Balkand from Valmiki Ramayana, ushers us inside Lord Ram\u2019s deepest chambers and gifts us priceless gems on how to please and invoke God. Swamiji expounds on the glory of austerity and devotion of King Dashrathji  &#038; Mother Kaushalya, which makes the Lord take avatar as their son. We too need a personal God from whom we can seek support, whom we can pray to, go to and call as \u2018mine\u2019. How to invoke and melt the heart of God, so that He takes avatar in our heart; is the biggest takeaway from listening to these discourses on Balkand&#8221;\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-inner-section elementor-element elementor-element-4189a32 elementor-section-full_width elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"4189a32\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-792b259\" data-id=\"792b259\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d19cdfd elementor-align-center elementor-widget elementor-widget-button\" data-id=\"d19cdfd\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"button.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-button-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-button elementor-button-link elementor-size-sm\" href=\"https:\/\/thirdeye.chinmayamission.co.za\/TE2.0staging\/title\/valmiki-ramayan-balkand\/\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-content-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-text\">Open<\/span>\n\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-c61eaed\" data-id=\"c61eaed\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9d82d51 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"9d82d51\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><strong>Genre:<\/strong> Devotional<\/p><p><strong>Duration:<\/strong> 19 Talks\/30 Hrs<\/p><p><strong>Media:<\/strong> Audio<\/p><p><strong>Series:<\/strong> Durban, 2018<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Valmiki Ramayana &#8211; Balkand &#8220;Valuables don\u2019t make us valuable but it is the dharmic values that we hold on to which makes us valuable in society.
