I think an intro video would be good , who are whats your story where have you come from
Rather than just diving in
❤ they say deep spiritual experiences are like radioactive substances that once entered can mutate the entire system and change the body vibration - the energy patterns in our body . One moment in the company of a saint..So lovely to hear about these … so lucky to have easy access to such places as well . Beautiful rose analogy :)
❤️❤️❤️ ❤️❤️ ❤
As always a beautiful speech. Thank you Swamiji 🙏
An adventure on this island of experience. What a reality ❤😊
Jai Gurudev! 💖🙏🏽 Natural Fragrance of the Love of God 🥹 I felt this at the ashram in Elmira. I am so looking forward to going on next year’s pilgrimage with you Swami. 💖Thank You Swamiji! Jai Ma 🙏🏽🕊️
Thank you, Swamiji ❤ Jai Gurudev!
Always inspiring to listen to your precious gems🙏
I wish I were there❤ my whole life has been leaving what is known to the unknown. Thank you for sharing such a beautiful perspective.
💚
Jai Gurudev Swami Chidananda. Some years ago you gave a very beautiful Satsang about who is the most devotee. It will be very useful if you can explain it again in your podcast . Much love Sarveshwara das
Great podcast ...thank you ....very relevant to me and no doubt to many others.
Jai Gurudev 🙏 Amazing sharing Swamiji! Thank you 😊 I would like very much to watch this talk and see Guruji's Glories flowing through you, if possible of course!🙏
Thank you for this teaching on praying to God 🙏
Thank you Swami🙏🏽 would it be fine for you to do a video to share a few of the chantings and mantras? 😊 🙏🏽
He’s steering the boat. Great adventure, calm seas, storms, and hanging on to His Divine Lotus Feet. Weeeeeeeeee
Hi 👋🏼 I’m Debbie from Argentina. Would you share that beautiful mantra with us? Thank you so much and many blessings ✨
Please send an email via the website :)
Amazing 👏 great perspectives!!!
Excellent philosophies with a ton of new perspectives!!! ❤
Much Love :)
Jai Maa Durga🙏🕉
Jai Maa :)
I am resisting so much change but i feel and also have this inner knowing that i need to get over myself.
nice reflection :)
@@swamichidananda108 oh wow i just thought of you😄 thank you Swami🙏🏽
Swami, here's a situation, my mother passed away 14 days ago unexpectedly leaving myself and my younger sister who is borderline intellectually challenged. Since a year I have been on path of spirituality, and has made me aware of many things. However, my sister has been conditioned by us over her life in our intention that she may be able to be independent per say. Now after our mother's passing n since my awareness observation, its been difficult for me to be in the silence path n my sister needs constant engagement (ego related), what may be your guidance on this situation?
Each situation in life is very dynamic and never black and white, the answer for you might be different than the answer for another individual. Would ask myself what would an humble person do in this situation ? and secondly i would do the daily spiritual practices, through the stillness, the answer can reveal itself to you internally.
A humble person would be compassionate to my sister and thy self, i realise that this situation is just another phase in life that is not to be worried much yet accept the pain as it is, as its not me in deeper sense. Do my duties to my best ability and rest leave it to the devine.
Jai Gurudev !
Thank you swami. I feel exactly like grace manifest in every little moment. Today i was feeling sad while shopping food at the supermarket because almost 90% of what they sell is prohibited for my diet. While waiting my turn at the cashier, i was trying to resonate thinking « lots of people would be super happy with all this you are buying ». Then i paid my basket and the cashier said « with this purchase, you won a gift » and the cashier hand me a beautiful backpack. I immediately recognise the presence of God, and start crying knowing that he is always there and will care for us and help us to stay on the path.❤
Would love videos about Vitthala, Krishna, Ram or their stories that inspired you in your daily life ? 🙏🏽
More on Dharma, finding it or are you just thrown into it ? Watched the other video but still unsure..
You remind me of Swami Keshava when you talk about your personal experiences. You’re both so articulate 🙏🏽☺️
Why did it take five years to say sorry ? Love how you as a monk you are so relatable and humble .. like you’re one of us ❤🙏🏽
This episode brings me a sense of relief .. thank you 🙏🏽
What’s the significant of wearing earrings ? Is there a specific metal or wood to be use for earrings? 🙏🏽 Found different explanations online .. but can you tell ? What about rings ?
Exactly. I’m so happy I don’t have a living guru cause I would have used a guru as a crutch to leave the world and renounce my life for the divine. Here with worldly responsibilities there is a chance to infuse every little thing with godliness and see the divine pattern .this is true service true love - just like hanuman doing his duty serving ram s human incarnation as he has put thru difficult worldly troubles of losing his wife.Thank you for this swamiji everything you do has so much heart.
A true Guru would not allow you to do it, if it is not meant for you :) They would encourage you to embrace the dharma that you have been born to do. One should strive to find a living teacher in this life, it is always the best opportunity to realize who you are ❤
❤in that case will manifest him/her into my life
🙏
Jai Gurudev Swami Ji🙏🏼
Amazing words!!! Much Love Swamiji. 🙏🏻❤️
Much Love ❤
Thank you so much Swami Ji!! I am battling every day if I should quit my corporate job and go to an ashram maybe even live a monastic life. I feel that my job is districting me from going deeper. But maybe first I need to learn to love it and see what happens. As always thank you so much for your beautiful insides!! 🙏
Much Love ❤
I feel the exact same way.
Thank you so much ! Always very clear thanks to the analysis of your own experience. It makes very practicle to introduce the teachings in our daily life. 💙
Much Love ❤
Jai Gurudev! Thank you very much swamiji! I heard your voice right after I did the mantra chanting this morning. May your love continue to inspire others as you’ve inspired me to continue on my spiritual journey. May Our Beloved Divine Mother Father Bless You Always 🙏🏽💖💐🪷
Much Love ❤
but there are no trustworthy gurus left.
Thank you🙏
the mantra as a key to connect to the heart and the DIVINE...pray for love...thank you
thank you for teaching us. what mantra do you sing?
they is a good way to reffer to god
dear beautiful swami V. I am moved to come see you or move you to visit my beautiful island sri lanka.
🥺🙏🏼 Jai Gurudev
Thank you so much ones again 🙏❤️♾️
Thank you ❤😊🎉
You are identical to Keegan-Michael Key
How much it resonates within, when you explain being of service for others, having a cosmic impact.
Maharaj, I recently watched your interview with Andre and loved every moment of your discourse and have since subscribed to uour channel. Like yourself, my spiritual journey also began after reading AOAY and I have accepted Gurudev Yogananda as my Master and the Kriya Yoga path as my sadhana. Swamiji, it is most likely that I will be in America next year for further education and I would love to know how we could connect so that I can offer you my humble servies in the work that you do. I hope you do read this. Jai Guru. 🙏🏽❤️ Om Peace, peace, peace.
So beautiful. I feel like this message was exactly what I needed to hear. Thank you for your teachings Swamiji. Much love ❤️🙏
