While Swamiji makes spirituality so accessible, he is so accepting of one’s spiritual practice wherever they are, whomever they are. Even if one is confused, he has a way of making one feel it’s ok. He gives you the feeling that as long as you’re sincerely practicing with good intentions, you’re doing it right. The more I hear his lectures, the more I feel he’s reading my mind and talking directly to me.

Ron Johnson Yes. Spirituaity encompasses all regardless of religious beliefs. It is a way of life whereby thoughts, words and deeds that are bad will lead to negativity and positivity yields good results over time. Anyone can follow these principles and reach enlightenment.

Truly when I first came upon him I was so totally fascinated with his oratory skills I would spend the whole time noting the perfect construction of the talk, the beautiful use of language, the lovely physicality, the way he would always tie everything up. And the deep well of knowledge he could call upon (highly highly intelligent person). But I was so fascinated with the talk itself I had to go back and take in the meaning on a second listen. I do think he is one of the greatest speakers in the US today, in any walk of life.

Thanks 🙏 Bhagwad Gita MUST be taught in ALL INDIAN SCHOOLS, colleges & Universities as a mandatory subject. Period. If Indian Hindu civilization has to survive in this current age of Information overload and information revolution, BHAGWAD GITA MUST BE TAUGHT TO EACH AND EVERY INDIAN 🇮🇳. Bhagwad Gita has a COMPLETE & timeless WORLD VIEW, in fact the ULTIMATE UNIVERSAL VIEWPOINT and summary of ONE AND ONLY ONE ULTIMATE TRUTH.. That is ONE ☝️ CREATOR WHO IS TIMELESS, FORMLESS, YET WHO TOOK AVATAR MANY TIMES IN MANY ways!!! Bhagawan Krishna was one of them as it seems the only one ☝️ who declared it so boldly & opened and wisely / completely/ thoroughly/ intellectually justified way that GITA captured... Bhagwad Gita is the song of the Lord!!! जय श्री कृष्ण भगवान श्री कृष्ण 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

Quoting the 79th suthra of Narada bhakti sutra, swamiji clearly expounds Sarvada (at all times), Sarva bhavena (in all the ways), Nischintehi (without any anxiety) worship the lord. This is the key of this entire lecture. We are beholden to you Swamiji.

Thank you so much Swami. Your words and guidance and reminders have become indispensable for so many. You return us to ourselves. I would love to hear more on "Para-Bhakti" as Vivekananda discusses it in the second half of 'The Secret of Bhakti Yoga'. "The true Bhakta's love is this burning madness, before which everything else vanishes for him. The whole universe is to him full of love and love alone; that is how it seems to the lover. So when a man has this love in him, he becomes eternally blessed, eternally happy; this blessed madness of divine love alone can cure for ever the disease of the world that is in us. With desire, selfishness has vanished. He has drawn near to God, he has thrown off all those vain desires of which he was full before."
