Swami Chinmayananda was born in Ernakulam in Kerala, South India, in May, 1916. He began his study of Vedanta as a skeptical journalist, bringing with him the secular knowledge gained through degrees in science, literature and law. After spending many years in the Himalayas under the tutelage of Swami Sivananda and Swami Tapovanam, he started spreading the joyous vision of Vedanta, which was shrouded in rituals, secrecy and Sanskrit, to the inquiring men and women around the world.
Swamiji established Centers for Learning called Sandeepanys in several locations in India. Young aspirants who received the call to devote their lives to the study of Vedanta, received intensive education in the scriptural studies while living a highly disciplined life. The students who graduated from these institutions as Brahmachari-s and Brahmacharini-s went into the world to spread the knowledge to all seekers. Some students received sannyasa (order of monks) from Gurudev. Thus over 200 teachers were trained to teach Vedanta in India and abroad.

Greetings,

http://archive.org/details/Swami-Chinmayananda-on-Bhagavad-Geeta
The missing items I located there are:
serial number 15 gita ch 05 – 01
missing gita ch 18 – 02-missing
missing gita ch 18 – 04-missing
That folder does not appear to contain serial number 49 gita ch 17 – 03
Also it might avoid confusion to note that the chapter 9 files are indexed as 3,4,5 in this folder, whereas at the folder I linked to, the same files are indexed as 1,2 and 3.
Best regards,
vimal
