Before I begin my lectures, I always offer my respects to my spiritual teachers, our masters who bring this knowledge to us. All the information that I’ll be presenting comes from the Vedic scriptures. The Vedas are very ancient scriptures. Actually, they were written down 5 000 years ago. However this knowledge is eternal. So prior to be being written...

Love is the most talked about subject. There have been more songs and poems and books written about love than any other subject, from all different angles, from “Oh, I am so happy about this” to “Oh, I am so sad about this.” Always up and down, isn’t it? And it starts from birth. You don’t have to learn about love, it is built-in. The baby...

We start our exi… we don’t actually, it is hard even talk about it, because we don’t even start our existence. We have existed eternally.

This is why we need to actually find love and not lust. But how do I do that? We have to understand what the source of love is and where real love is. All the pure teachers have taught this. The source of love is the Supreme Lord. He is the reservoir of love. All love comes from Him. Why do we have a little spark of love within our hearts? Because we are...

So these are the ways to be happy. This is happiness for the soul. This is what everyone needs. Love. Love is the nourishment of the soul. You can never be fulfilled, you can never be happy without it, never be satisfied without it. And dissatisfaction is so present in our life. No matter what we get in the material world, we are not satisfied. We get all...

So when we reestablish that long-lost relationship, which He wants us to do, we actually now enter into our real family. And then we start seeing everybody as our brothers and sisters, all living entities, not just humans. You get a broader vision. The souls in the animal bodies and bird bodies, insect bodies and plants, they are all our brothers and...

So those are the ideas. I told you it is not going to be about hearts and flowers, and romance, but it is about the truth, see. If you understand this, then when you are disappointed in your relationship, you can understand why, of course. All these false expectations, they go. You don’t expect to get something where there is nothing to be gotten....
