One Body, One Life, One Opportunity: Milking the Magic of the Moment - Devamrita Swami

What is it that consumes our consciousness, above all else? Smartphones? Social media? The stock market? 

Nay, the yoga texts say. The greatest object of our infatuation is in fact: our own body.

And this seemingly irresistible obsession has manifested in our preoccupation with issues like body image, body positivity, body neutrality and their many relatives. 

Join Devamrita Swami as he explores how all problems can be traced to neglecting the proper potential of the human body, and the need for going to a higher level by understanding what is truly within.

Sivarama Swami - Devotees Help Will Be Much Needed -  Budapest

In our pursuit of happiness are we chasing the wrong thing? It takes a very self controlled person, amidst a huge herd of people running. The self-controlled person can stop, pause and think and even go in the opposite way. Ask yourself do you have the...

Stop, Pause and Think.

How we can respond to the environmental disaster that we humans have and are creating. The ancient yoga texts, in particular the Bhagavad Gita gives a lot of insight into the root of these problems and the most effective way to address them - starting with our own consciousness.

Making a difference in the world

Hear in a nutshell what the mahamantra can do for you!

Why enter the laboratory of spiritual sound?

Deer can be captured by the ear, fish by the tongue, many animals by smell... Every animal has it's predominant sense by which it tries to enjoy and by which it can be easily captured. But the human body is different, all five senses are highly active and all five can carry away the mind from it's real purpose - that the human life is meant for self realisation.

One way humans differ from animals

People are more confused than ever before. How can we put a head back on top of the human social body? The Hare Krishna mantra plays a prime role in rejuvenating both the individual and the society from its pretence and self destructive ways. By applying this sound technology to your life you’ll experience how this is so, the purpose of your existence will begin to become crystal clear.

Mantra meditation - What it can do for you

A genuine yogi means not simply one who can adopt various postures and breathing exercises, although all that is good for health, but the full understanding of a genuine yogi is that he or she can exist in perfect harmony with all living entities, because he or she is in perfect harmony with the ultimate source, Krishna.

Can you be a real yogi in the city?

In every major aspect of existence today we have problems. Environmental problems, political problems, economic problems, relationship problems, food distribution and health problems... the list doesn't end there. We try and tackle each 'problem' as if it stands alone from the rest, but our attempts prove futile. What is the root cause of all this plight? Do we have an institutional problem or do we have a human problem?

Can Today’s Problems Be Classified As Institutional?

Thriving In Chaos: Maximizing Your Life & Uplifting Others - Devamrita Swami

Trapped more than ever before in an already isolated, dystopian world, you may wonder: "Where have I landed? Where do I belong? How did the unthinkable become ‘normal’?" As winter creeps up on us, perhaps some of us are wondering why things are so difficult. The thought can cross our minds, "What would it be like to run away somewhere to get a break from all this..." But where do you run to? You are where your consciousness is. We are left with the question: what does the road to escape look like?

Join us for an evening of discussion with Devamrita Swami, world-traveling monk and Yale graduate, as he takes us into the realm of consciousness to find the perfect escape the heart dreams about. Make this time of great inner and outer turmoil an opportunity for the greatest transformation.
