I am Hindu born and raised in the US. And i have to say that hearing the teachings from Swami Asha is exactly what Hinduism for the layperson needs...a woman who can explain so articulately hindu spirituality. Ive listened to many many many men, of western and eastern backgrounds, discuss these concepts in such unrelatable ways...and the women given any sort of substantive voice have been academic or too new-age or dogmatic. I dont agree with everything she says, but Swami Asha is definitely one of the first female voices that finally makes me feel more Hindu. And i beleive that is exactly what both women and men need not only in india but also the diaspora. I look forward to finding other hindu spiritual female voices and am so happy to have found yours. Thank you for sharing your experience and knowledge.🙏❤
Dear Asha, I thank the Divine Mother that you are still on Earth. Benjamin sent me to You. You are the greatest woman I have ever seen besides my own Mum. I bow to Thy Majesty. Thank You.☺☺☺
One of the great benefits of modern medicine is that so many people do return from "death" and tell us what it is like. Completely changes our perspective.
I have to meet you Nayaswami Asha, your presence is filled with some of the light I am trying to find more and more often among the people that I attract to my vibration in this life. I love you Nayaswami ♥
I have just learned of you and am so very thankful to hear the wisdom you have to share. Your words on how to approach our parents leaving their bodies is timely for me, but I have also been struggling with how to handle the end of a romantic friendship that was very dear to me. It is a death, of sorts, but you've shown me how to go through it with dignity and grace. Thank you so very much.
Lotus is a spiritual symbol in "Sanatana Dharma". It has a special meaning. Many Goddesses like Lakshmi are shown with Lotus in their hands. One name of Lakshmi is Padma or Padmaja (born on the lotus). Why is lotus so important? Lotus is a symbol of non-attachment. It teaches us how to live in the world and yet remain detached from it. It is surrounded by dirt, unclean water and yet does not complain. It looks not to the dirty surrounding but aims high at the Sun above. Bhagwath Geetha (Chapter 5, verse 10) says: (ब्रह्मण्याधाय कर्माणि सङ्गम् त्यक्त्वा करोति यः। लिप्यते न स पापेन पद्मपत्रमिवाम्भसा ॥ English: Brahmanyadhaya Karmaani Sangam Tyaktva karoti yaha Lipyate na sa paapena Padma Patram eva aabhyasaa) Meaning: One who acts by dedicating all activites to the "Ultimate", giving up attachment, is not affected by his surroundings just like a Lotus surrounded by dirty water.
Fantastic presentation. I too have this facination with death. Not in a morbid way but like yourself. I have a book called The Art of Dying. I cant remember the author , but he is a DR. Ive lent it to my elderly father who is very healthy at the moment. I hope he reads it . its a beautiful book.
I don't understand then, when unconscious people wake up again in the physical world, how do they choose their parents and people who will teach them lessons 🤔
I'm sorry to see so many Western people immersed in the yogic teachings and practises of self-realisation. It has nothing to do with holiness, or sanctity, but it is a completely natural phenomenon of the nervous system, brought about by breathing exercises and meditation. It is a refinement of the nerves and the senses, in such a way that life is experienced as bliss, even though under the curse of original and personal sin, like we all live. Enlightenment is something else than sanctity. The "truths" taught by hindu religion are not truths, and every attempt to connect it to Christianity will fail, because the teachings of Jesus Christ and the Apostle's are something totally different. Jesus Christ is the Incarnation of the second Divine Person of the Holy Trinity, and was never at any point in His perfect life, a student of yoga. There has never been, nor will there be any other Incarnation of God, than Jesus alone.
@@ashanayaswami Dear Mrs, I do not say this to offend you, but hopefully to let you see that christians have a different opinion on yoga en enlightenment. St. Francis Xavier, a Jesuit who came in Goa, India to bring the gospel 1549 was terrified by the poverty, perversity and barbarism of the local people he encountered there. It's what he wrote in his letter to st. Ignatius in Portugal. He baptised around 700.000 people in Goa, and it became a center of christianity.
@@joni3503 lol that was a nice story sweetheart have u ever heard of goa inquisition and poverty lol India was one of the richest country at that time and saint Francis is indeed a barbarian
@@soorajunni436 what do you mean, barbarian. He baptised so many thousands of souls, in the Name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. He did so much good. He distributed alms to the poor, and gave the blessings of the life bringing Holy Sacraments..
I really loved the video and have now a greater understanding of the astral world... It was mind blowing... Hare krishna
So happy that it opened new understandings. I find the subject endlessly inspiring.
❤ what.
A blessing to have swami Kriyananda and now swami Asha to discuss Death in an uplifting way aum peace 🙏 amen

Listening to NDE stories helps me understand that there is so much more to life than what we were taught. The JeffMara Podcast has wonderful stories.

We are so lucky to have been born in India. In our culture we are always taught that one day we will be standing in front of God and answering...!!
The thought of our after-life review helps keep us on the path of dharma.
this was a great talk, thank you!
You are wonderful
Wonderful presentation. Thanks for coming to India
Please Asha 🙏 it's not a criticism, I love your teachings, I want to understand
Lotus is a spiritual symbol in "Sanatana Dharma". It has a special meaning. Many Goddesses like Lakshmi are shown with Lotus in their hands. One name of Lakshmi is Padma or Padmaja (born on the lotus).
Why is lotus so important?
Lotus is a symbol of non-attachment. It teaches us how to live in the world and yet remain detached from it. It is surrounded by dirt, unclean water and yet does not complain. It looks not to the dirty surrounding but aims high at the Sun above.
Bhagwath Geetha (Chapter 5, verse 10) says:
(ब्रह्मण्याधाय कर्माणि सङ्गम् त्यक्त्वा करोति यः।
लिप्यते न स पापेन पद्मपत्रमिवाम्भसा ॥
English: Brahmanyadhaya Karmaani Sangam Tyaktva karoti yaha
Lipyate na sa paapena Padma Patram eva aabhyasaa)
Meaning: One who acts by dedicating all activites to the "Ultimate", giving up attachment, is not affected by his surroundings just like a Lotus surrounded by dirty water.
Wow.
Thank you!
Death is a very intriguing subject.
It is so important and so little talked about. Fortunately, people are becoming much more open now about death. Very uplifting direction.
Fantastic presentation. I too have this facination with death. Not in a morbid way but like yourself. I have a book called The Art of Dying. I cant remember the author , but he is a DR. Ive lent it to my elderly father who is very healthy at the moment. I hope he reads it . its a beautiful book.
This all bout responding with kindness doing things with kindness
One good book on NDE would be "Dying to be me" by Anita Moorjani. A fascinating book.
I don't understand then, when unconscious people wake up again in the physical world, how do they choose their parents and people who will teach them lessons 🤔
💙🙏🧡
Who is the third old man with a beard above the speaker?
The pictures of the men behind the speaker are as follows, Lahiri Mahasaya, Babaji, Jesus Christ, Sri Swami Yukteswar, Paramahansa Yogananda.
thank you@@edwardbowers5509

All my life i felt missunderstood. You would'nt.

Are you sometime getting beyond talking about you?
?
Personally is genetic, is it not?
