So, a very interesting topic tonight – «A secret to better relationship.» I think this is something that we can all dwell upon on and improve upon. So before I begin I always offer my respects to my spiritual teachers. The knowledge that I have received from them has definitely assisted me in my life which automatically includes many...

All the information that I present comes from the Vedic scriptures. The Vedas are very ancient scriptures and they were written down five thousand years ago. «Veda» actually means «knowledge” or “truth.» So this knowledge itself is eternal and therefore prior to being written down it was passed down orally from one perfect master to...

Who am I? And that is the next part. You learned it last night if you were here, I say this continuously, because that is the foundation of truth. If we do not know who we are what do we know. And basically almost nobody knows. We speculate. We think, we have an opinion, we have our feelings, we have and experience of who we are. And almost always it is...

And as a spirit soul, part and parcel of the Supreme Soul we have all the natural qualities of the Supreme Soul. Like a chip from the diamond has all the qualities of the diamond but they are in minor quantity. The qualities are there but they are infinitesimal.

Only living entities I could see...

One friend of mine, the guy is an amazing mountaineer, he was climbing K2 and all these places in Himalaya. The guy is that kind of guy. And he married this really sporty lady and they have got three kids. And he left her because he found somebody else, it was better. It is like — what are you doing? This is not love, this is not a relationship that...

The bhakti yoga process actually guides us step by step, slowly, in a lifestyle that makes it so I can leave behind all the things that should be left behind and I can actually take into my life, embrace, embody the things that are going to really be good for me, the spirit soul. It is a gradual process. For some people it is not so gradual. Why? Because...

Bhakti yoga is the magic. The secret is love for God, that is the secret, when you love God. A lot of times when people hear this they conclude (because they do not have a full understanding) that that means I cannot love anybody in this world, I can only love God. So that means I cannot love my mom, my dad, my husband, my wife, my children, my friends,...

My spiritual master… Wonderful thing he said. Many things he said. But he said it so perfectly, “No one can be truly happy nor truly satisfied until they are tasting love for God. And the easiest way to come to this transcendental platform of love for the Lord is by regular hearing and chanting His Holy Names.” The easiest way to come to this...
