Upadesha Saram - talks by Swami Ishwarananda of Sri Chinmaya Mission

I got 2 CDs of the talks on Upadesha Saram by Swami Ishwarananda of Sri Chinmaya Mission from a devotee of Bhagavan. I found this colleage in my office to be a devotee and when I spoke with him about he being a Bhagavan devotee, he passed these CDs to me.

Beautiful I must say! There is meditation accompanied by the talks. One special mention is for the verse -
uttamastavAduccha mandataHa |
chittajam japadhyAnamuttamam ||

Swamiji starts the meditation with loud om namaH shivAya, then reduces the chanting volume and then finally stops it (before beginning this, he says that at the end, please chant it within yourselves).

What more can you ask for?
om namo bhagavathe sri ramanAya.
