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.

Yoga Literally Means To Hook Up - But Hook Up To What? - Devamrita Swami

Unearth - Spiritual Solutions For Sustainability

Work, relationships, entertainment, more work...in the midst of frantically trying to get your fill of fun and fulfillment, that rare person will ask: What is the real purpose of human life? 

Diving deep into the essence of existence and asking the big questions is no easy thing. It requires courage and commitment. But as the bhakti-yoga texts will tell you, human beings are meant to live deep, they are meant to embark upon the quest for ultimate enlightenment. In doing so, they can truly help themselves and the whole of society.

Who wants to dive deep?

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. This is a talk given at Yale University.

Making a difference in the world

What makes us so confident that our present civilization is the pinnacle of human progress? Could we be completely missing the point in a very complicated, intricate and neurotic way? The yoga texts give us a completely different vision of human civilization and its goals. The Krishna texts, in particular, present the pinnacle of yoga: the yoga of the love Supreme, the perfect and ultimate complete connection between the part and the whole.

Are we missing the point in a most complicated way?

The Cage Of Karma

This is a full length talk from Devamrita Swami.
