- For Jay Shetty, finding his mentor at the age of eighteen brought him to a monkhood journey that inspired him to change his life trajectory.
If you are searching for wisdom on how to navigate the choices you are facing in life, this episode will deliver. Shetty and his mentor Gauranga Das discuss how to elevate your consciousness to explore the urges you have. You don’t have to live like a monk to think like one. Freedom awaits you!
Principles Of Gita
1) Control the urge to get provoked (We are constantly being provoked in our life)
2) Control the urge to control the situation.(Many things in life are beyond our control)
3) Control the Urge to convince others. Control the urge to convince people to agree with your opinion or narrative.
4) Control the urge to compete. Many people are better than you at different levels. Your aim should be to add value to other life to the best of your ability.
Thank you!!
Thank you for summary!
Thank you 👍 it's a great insigh
Its not 'control' the urges...
.Its to ' tolerate' the urges....They two are entirely different processes....

Wow. My uncle sent me this link. We know him as Anand. He is my moms cousin! We have lived through his transition, and we remember when he decided to join Hari Krishna and now is Gauranga Das. We never understood it at the time, but he has done tremendously well and has helped so many people. We are very proud of him. He visited us in Novi Michigan maybe 16 years ago? God bless you! Great interview. We learned something new in this interview
We need more people like Jay Shetty... The world actually need more healers, story tellers and lovers of all kinds rather than successful people
agree
This monk is chanting Hare Krishna
hi did you read the news recently and how does it feel?
The word ‘religion’ is wildly different in its meaning between the East and the West. In the west, it is ‘prescriptive’ and following a book, its rules and they use many tactics to convert every person on earth to their religion (because their god is the only valid god, you don’t convert-you are going to hell). Eastern religions (actually philosophies) are ‘exploratory’ and deeply open ended and philosophical and do not force their ‘whatever’ on others. Because the basic philosophy is ‘there are several paths to the truth, yours is valid, mine is valid’. Christian missionaries, for example, spend billions every year just in India itself on religious conversion tactics. I saw this and experienced it personally.
There is also a downside to this. For an individual it's ok to be exploratory but as a community you need a prescriptive religion.
@@vijayvijay4123 you thinking is very superficial and basic. Human consciousness is too good to be bound by prescriptions written by some dumb religion.
@@1sr0 As a rule a community is very very different from an individual. That's where our nation failed . In modern times we have to take the best of what all religions has to offer.
Religion is man-made, religion is man-made. Yes Christ is King but Christianity does not conform to your definition of religion. Jesus came to save people from religious mindsets, the Pharisees and Sadducees and they exist today as you well know
@@codystewart3957 jesus may have been a great man, but Christians are intolerant.
This CD has three separate relaxation/meditation sessions on it th-cam.com/users/postUgkxzpa8CIfZcihW4Z0F_ja0QF3W9KIatrsq guided by a very pleasant and direct male voice. Unlike so many other products of its type, this CD does not have bad synthesizer music, does not feature a phony or affected style of narration, and does not make any bogus claims to be subliminal or to re-train the brain or any of that balderdash. What you get is 1. a guided meditation for getting into a pleasantly relaxed state of body awareness while taking a stroll (superb for those easing back into a fitness routine slowly after an illness or injury) 2. A nice long breath-awareness relaxation session that if followed diligently can put you into very deep states of full-body relaxation and mental calmness, and 3. a buddhist-inspired meditation session designed to help you develop and maintain feelings of loving kindness toward not just yourself and your friends, but toward people you don't even like. The CD makes no claims to be designed for advanced meditators or for buddhists or hindus/yoga practitioners looking for very deep and esoteric stuff. It is geared more toward the average person who just wants to develop the habit of relaxation and stress relief through natural, healthy means. him, if you happen to be reading this, keep up the good work fella, and I love your accent. I would also like to note that I have never fallen asleep while listening to this product. I would like to kindly suggest to the reviewer who said this CD makes him fall asleep, that he might want to get checked to see if he has a sleep disorder, or if he is simply not setting aside ample time for restful sleep at night. A healthy person getting adequate rest at night should be able to go into deep states of mental relaxation without dozing off, if not all the time, then most of the time.
Jaya Srila Prabhupada - the reason why both can even talk with each other.
I never knew people thought that way about Monks, even growing up in the Hood, I always thought of Monks as almost super human, humble souls, that had knowledge of the universe and amazing control over themselves and their minds.
Me to, like they were most holy. #DaHoodOfNY
I thought monks secretly road around in low riders and had lots of women and sex 😅😉
Yeah....they are highly discplined and their secret lies in their celibacy.
@@artivedi3887 yes you can... It's just a choice.
@@artivedi3887 it's all about mind control and perception. Monks or Sadhus are not superhuman, they come from all walks of life. They have the right understanding and although it's an extremely difficult journey they can overcome it with the right guidance from their Guru and self discipline and learning from the scriptures.
It was great meeting Prabhuji the other day, what a beautiful podcsst we recorded for BeerBicepes channel 🙏❤️
Govinda, Govinda, Shri Hari Bol
TOLERATE our urge to consume, control and convince and RESIST our urge to compete 🙏🌞🤝🌞🙏 Done🤞
I like that" Self control is the greatest freedom". Plant kindness and gather love is the best way to live.
Mercy is form of love
Unfortunately, self control is a limited and exhaustible resource (backed by research). I think self control is a stepping stone towards a good habit. When good habits become automatic, we can experience greatest freedom imo.
@@darkreaper4990 whatever happens in life with us is for good
I love the way he looks at Jay. Almost like as if he saw him for the first time, even though he probably knows him for decades
Cancers of the mind: comparing, criticizing, complaining.
GAURANGA DAS
You can be emotional AND a strong leader.
The path of service is more important than meditation...
Millionaires are made in crash, so the more stocks drop, the more I buy, in the meanwhile I'm just focused on making better investments and earning more, apparently there are strategies to 3x gains in this present market cos I read of someone that pulled a profit of $350k within 2months, and it would really help if you could make a video covering these strategies.
The strategies are quite rigorous for the regular. As a matter of fact, they are mostly successfully carried out by pros who have had a great deal of skillset/knowledge to pull such trades off.
I agree, before the pandemic got real serious, I used to handle all my investment and I was pretty good at it, fast forward to post-pandemic and my-portfolio is steady in the red with profit rate down to the lowest, that's when I touched-base with a coach I saw featured on businessweek, who restructured my portfolio and over the last couple years, I've made over $850k from initially $210K
I’m new to all this, heard it's a good time to buy and basically I've just got cash sitting duck in the bank and I’d really love to put it to good use seeing how inflation is at an all time-high, who is this coach that guides you, mind I look them up
"Jackson Sten Marsh." is the coach that guides me, you ca look him up on the web-site for further verification.
Thank you for this tip. it was easy to find your coach. Did my due diligence on him before engaging his services. He seems proficient considering him résumé.
When he said the possible negative impressions ("lazy", etc) of monks it was like nails on a chalkboard(x100)!!! I have never heard such a thing, or anything negative about monks? We have always respected them as devoted disciplined servants of Lord. I just had to state it: please know most people have nothing but respect and admiration for monks of any faith. 🙇🏻♀️
100% agree, I have NEVER heard people calling monks lazy etc, I couldn't believe when I heard that 🙏
Gauranga das is so good at storytelling.
The secret to life, do everything with enthusiasm and serve but dont be looking for the outcome. This interview was so beautiful and practical, Jay, keep recommending the reading of the B Gita.

I share the same thoughts exactly
I share the same thoughts exactly
This is so beautiful Prabhuji. I was mocking your book think like a monk when I first saw it, I was living in the ashram in soho london, and my brahmin friend actualy showed it too me xD. Now 1 year later, I left the temple, I am in a way fighting for my own now, and I regret the mockery made before. I feel realy sheltered by your podcast Jay Prabhu, and inspired to keep going. I stayed as a monk 3 years, and I an also very sensitive but have so much desire to be a better person and connect people to this wisdom, only I'm not in a good situation right now. So I take so much guidance listening to you, thank you very much.
Hare Krsna ❤
Excellent conversation, thank you very much! I can relate to everything you talked about.
I live in Australia born New Zealand
I love the way monks they are so humble & caring
If everyone thought like them we would live in a better world
Jay can you do more episodes on understanding Hinduism? Dispelling myths etc?
Gaurang Das ji Pranam.Pearls of wisdom and nuggets of such clarity. Your command on scriptures is awe inspiring.
Cant resist to comment..his analogy has just sparked a new perspective..that's called awakened soul in true sense
To tolerate a provoking situation is indeed a Virtue to develop. Thank you for bringing up this awareness.

Control the urge to consume, control, compete and convince. Interesting.
Both of my mentors together🙏Thank you so much for this podcast🙏
Jay, as a house holder, you will always need society to provide for you, but as a monk, you get society to serve itself and improve life and living jgd the yogi Raj
I loved that interview. Definitely the Vaishnava monks know what love is. ❤️ Love in Action. Love in Service. ❤️🙏🏼💎
Thank You Maharaj ji 🙏 for sharing such a Great Teachings ,Meditation, Taste of living once spiritual life into this Material world and the pizza presentation, Jai jai Sri Radhe Radhe ji 🙏 🙌 and All glories to Srila Prabhupada ji 🙏, Hari bol..,Hare Krishna to Reporter ,thank you,Hari bol,most welcome 🙏 in Hare Krishna consciousness spiritual world, Hari bol...
I think he wavered a little when he says Love is Selfless, but actually he said its when you are joyful, not obligated - so basically Love IS Selfish. Do something good and feel good. Why not?
What a great podcast! First time of listening to Gauranga Das, his explanation of the 4 principals at 16:46 hit me deep. This will transform my life. Thank you Annoth
This will hit you deep💯Gaur Gopal Das and the top secret of OM
where is he talking about self-realisation pls give a time stamp
Priceless! It could be a course in graduate school!
He's right about comparison being a cancer of the mind
An incredible phrase, I agree...
Gauranga Das episodes are always great. So much learning and wisdom from a humble man. Thanks Jay for this beautiful conversation 🌺❤⭐
So clearly explained Prabhuji 🙏
Love is all of selfless pleasing and tireless servicing .Freedom comes with discipline and detachment , being dutiful.....Many many Sradha and Pranam Prabhuji🙏
16:00 to 22:00 min absolute gem principles.
Great wisdom from two monks. I liked the perception of freedom by discipline, it's really a life changer for me.
...there are so many pieces of wisdom that are lost in translation from one language to another that our world as a whole has that if we were able to actually share and apply so many problems would become issues and disappear from there...
Thanks for the post, absolutely appreciated.
Listening to this conversation feels like a meditation itself
This was an incredible experience for me. I come from a different religious and cultural tradition, but the explanations were all so easy to grasp and powerful: the story about the difference between pizza and New York pizza both made me smile and brought me wisdom.
Thanks for this video and for sharing your life experience and wisdom.
At 72, I am starting to see some of life's truths and learning more about love. This conversation was gift to me and I offer thanks for it.
Lots of love and more power to you mother 🙏🏻
The last sentence resonates with me. I'm 72. Remain blessed.
@@abenaampofo-gyekye947 How kind of you! You just brightened my day.
@@tuhin2839 Thanks so much!
I love them both!!! Watch until the end, Jay is such an adorable person
Gauranga das Prabhu is brilliant. Best podcast ever. Clarity of wisdom that declutters our mind, helps us realise our true potential and act with love and compassion.
This should be our primary education. Thank you 🙏.

Jay, after listening to this Guru, you must never say you were a monk. Jgd the yogi Raj
Hi Jay,
This spiritual discussion with the Swamiji is really insightful. It must have helped many spiritual seekers.
I would like you to come to Pondicherry and know about the Mother and Sri Aurobindo, their unique teaching in order to bring transformation in the life of human beings. The Yoga of Sri Aurobindo and the ever shining love and light of the Mother keep the Ashram in the most organized shape.
Looking forward to seeing you in Pondicherry.
Thanks Jay for bringing your mentor for the talk. Many of time times we miss out on the gurus and guides who have bought us where we are at. Gratitude. 🙏🙏
I could listen to this kinda’ wisdom, insight and depth ALL DAY LONG 👌🏽 thank you both
I don't believe in luck I believe in trust and
understanding. I've been trading forex for some
months now and I've made good amount of money
of over $78,100 with her simple strategies of
trading. Meeting with stacy has been one of my best
experience these past few months and am expecting
more withdraws from her
I have incurred so much losses trading on my own..I trade well on demo. But I think the real market is manipulated. Can anyone help me out or at least tell me what I'm doing wrong
trading in the financial market is very volatile and risky to trade that's the reason most investors trade with a professionals
Trading with an expert is the best strategy for newbies and busy investors who have little or no time to monitor trade
Then, how can someone get a professional manager that is trustworthy and legit they are hard to find this days
I think | heard that name before, I stumbled
upon one of her clients testimonies here some
He didn’t caution us about all urges. The urge to connect, care for and collaborate are healthy? Sow tirelessly? Love? With nature, community, work and self? I’m indulging my urge to convince here but… YES!
Wow!!!!! I've been in a VERY deep despair,depression from " attachments"!!!! I'm incredibly grateful to listen to this now.Thank you Namaste 😌🙏🧘♀️🧘♂️☮️🕉🙏💛
God! I Loved every word of this enlightening talk! Even though I have always been spiritual and deeply rooted in God love, off late I have been feeling very hurt upset and overwhelmed seeing so many crimes and atrocities. Its heartbreaking to see people hurting others and so many wrong things happening around the world to innocent people that I started questioning why did God make the world such a bad place? How can a good God allow so much bad to happen?😥
It's painful to see so much suffering and darkness in the world but coming across this video I realised I need to keep my eyes on good people and focus on playing my role to do my best selflessly and to keep striving to grow and help others as much as possible....
Don't want to focus on wrong people and bad things...We need to stay focussed on good people and good things cuz there are many kind amazing inspirational people in the world too and so much good to do♥️
Thank you so much for this interview, it has eased my heart and helped me redirect my focus to higher understanding♥️
God bless 🌟
My feelings too…..would always wonder why humans hurt each other…….
"You cannot connect a dollar value, to these values". Wow this reflection is found around 20min to 23min.
What a conversation.....its was so much meaningful I guess for all individual who is dealing with today's world challenges....all the best Jay....
You may have very strong intention but His will prevails
Jai shree Krishna 🙏🏾🕉️
Loved your conversation. So true the Monk is. And how amazing you are Jay Shetty. More love ❤ to you.
There is peace that is emanating from this guest
Very beautiful description of someone that wants to change the world for good... Actions , actions, action do it all.
Really an eye- opening conversation between the two great personalities of the divine world. I love it..🪷Hare Krishna 🙏🏻
Monks just been through quite a bit of different experiences, and through those experiences they managed to calm their emotions and their way of thinking to live a better life overall.
This came at a serendipitous moment for me, thanks so much, now I feel a small window is opening up for me after some hardship and perspective change...
Inshallah
I feel and interpret this the exact same way he does and wonder why I can't be a monk 😊. This is awesomeness....and I do hope to master myself in this way my thoughts of it are there my efforts is intermittent but my passion is like fire so I will succeed 💪 mastery
What he said is the best i've heard about love listening to him is like listening to a book just watching him from my home talking puts me in such beautiful state of love, hope, faith and harmony. He's such an incredible person and the world is so blessed for having him
This is wonderful. But let me clarify one thing. Relationships might be pain but Love is not pain. Love is the ultimate healing Force. Thank you for sharing this.🙏
That's very true. People say "The truth hurts", but I disagree..Truth is Love, Love is Truth, it should never cause pain. If it does cause pain, it's not Love. Real and True Love kills pain, brings hope, encouragement, and kindness. Since God is Love, it is said "With God, all things are possible." Meaning, with God's Love, the impossible becomes possible, this could not be congruent or synonymous with pain.
Thanks Beloved GAURANGA DAS-jI For RAISING The CLARITY.......AND THANKS JAY SHETTY=Ji For The ENLIGHTENING PODCAST...
I think that we should appreciate the Baghavat Gita that made him such a good person to the world. Why Baghavat Gita is not recognised yet even in n India.
Hare Krishna Prabhu Ji🙏
listening to this, was a refresher for my entire soul. wow.
Thank you Master! 南无阿弥陀佛!!!
This Guru & Shishya is amazing 💮🇮🇳
What a eyes opening lecture I have ever heard, thanks respected monk you have educated me for learning the meaning of ectual love.
I love ❤you, Jay you’re the best. Thanks for what you do. This was awesome.
Iam really amazed to go through this spiritual conversation. Fortunately I was happened to see this video , it gave me a new version of knowledge. I used to watch' spiritual speeches of ISCON monks,like JK yogh Mukunthananda Swamyji, Gopal Gaurji, You too a wonderful Bhagavad Gita teacher with your own versions Thank you so much for this communication 🙏🙏🙏
Thank you much for this. I needed to hear this message. What a blessing today.
Thank Moon much for this i the message you need to see💯Gaur Gopal Das and the top secret of OM
Felt so enlightened by your conversation and all that you spoke about Your perspective of life has showed me the path , of what we should be as humans Thank you
The best episode so far 🙏🏽🕉🙏🏽
This is so amazing. I've been reaching your "Think like a monk" book and I'm more than half way done. Love it, then I see in your videos here on TH-cam the name " Gauranga Das" and I said wait a minute! That's his teacher he mentioned in the book! Lol I got so excited and said I have to watch this video. This was so amazing. I'm soo glad you were able to do a video with him. His wisdom really had me stuck on the video, and its funny because its many things ive heard you say and mention in the book. It shows that youve learned alot from him and being a Monk for sure. Jay, you truly are incredible. Your book is so so good and it's so needed for me nowadays with everything I'm going thru. Sending you many blessings. ❤️
Monks compete for position N power like Every one else , They go through the same problems as everyone else
Access consciousness are same in every religion so let's do it in our own faith. We need to focus on our good characters and values and introspect ourselves. ❤❤
This has been the most interesting talk. Really enjoyed...thank you.
Peace, 💘 and kindness to all....
Well said .. learning so much from both of you .. Gratitude from the bottom of my heart 🙏
Thank God, everyone doesn't choose to be a monk. We need farmers, fishers, builders, cleaners, undertakers, and carers. It takes all of us to live a life.
I thank God for giving me the discernment to understand your judicious words.
Prabhu Gauranga Das is my favourite Guru to learn from, he is through whom I have flourished in my spiritual learnings and inspiration. Jai Shri Krishna.
This is simply the best pod cast amazing and beautiful
Thanks and I am grateful Mr jay
Thank you Gaurang prabhuji
I was humbled by the words of Gauranga Das. I thank you both for helping me reset my thinking on what is truly worthy of our thoughts, energies and focus. I wanted to express my gratitude.
THIS WAS NEEDED SINCE STARTING YOUR BOOK!
I love you Jay Shetty !!!!
One of the greatest Swamis in my opinion!
Huge respect for both of you!
Absolutely loved it.
Well explained! The real problem is our reactions to the encountered issues... positive & negative! Equanimity is the only answer! Being SthitaPrgay is the best way!
Just drown in the Divine aura. Enjoy the magnificence...it is all around. No explanation needed. Blessed by the One who gave me the chance to be part of this vast universe. And in a blink, it is over.
A Learning Experience for me.
I feed all the Strays Dogs Cats n Birds everyday
I have done it for the past 35 years. I am 60 now.
It gives me immense peace and joy to do it.
But most people around me Crib n create problems about it.
I have learned to ignore them now.
I used to get upset everytime about it.
This inspiring conversation was exactly what I had wished to hear, Thanks Jay🙏🙏
As a president, he is not my cup of tea, but as a person this interview has turned my opinion of him to one of kind and caring.
Namaskar Jay. Gauranga Das has answered each of your questions with outstanding clarity and depth. I was thrilled and felt enthusiastic to continue watching the video. I am very grateful to you for uploading this video. I am going to send the link to my friends and like-minded acquaintances. This video gives a message to the viewers that there is no substitute for spiritual practice to get everlasting happiness and contentment. You are using the teachings of your Mentor for selfless pleasing and tireless service. I am grateful to Gauranga Das for sharing his knowledge in simple and comprehensible words. God bless you both. Wish you all the best in your endeavour. Keep it up, dear Jay. Gratitude !
awww that man touched me...
Let him be blessed
I feeI I m motivated at these all levels
Thank you for your wisdom! 🙏🏼
