The question asked was-If Om Swami could shed some light on what he had said in a blog post where he mentioned that the law of attraction and the law of karma go hand in hand and people doing good can face adversities and sometimes people doing bad things can have good things happening to them in life.

Om Swami says that it is difficult to say things like this person is good or that person is bad as it’s always from an individual’s perspective on what they feel is good or bad, right or wrong. It is difficult to say if something is really wrong and therefore, it’s a futile exercise to classify people in this way. He says, most people can be so blinded by their ego that they cannot see their own mistakes and wrongdoings.
Om Swami says that for the law of attraction to work, one should concentrate on only one thing at a time. It will work for a person who is ready in all other aspects by being prepared. If a person just dreams about something without putting any effort then there will be no manifestation. When a person with a complete one-pointed focus determinedly works day and night towards their dream without accepting defeat, then the universe at some point materializes it in their world.

Link Between Law of Attraction and Karma - [Hindi]

The question asked here was - How can a householder balance between worship, his householder’s duties and happiness, all together?

Om Swami says that if a person irrespective of whether he/she is a householder, celibate or a renunciate, understands to do his/her duty like a sadhana (disciplined surrender) then they will not be unhappy. He says that there are three reasons as to why a person feels sad and disgruntled. One is that they have something or someone in their lives that they don’t want. Or, they don’t have something that they really desire. And lastly, they may feel that certain people do not qualify for good things in their life but actually have them. Om Swami says that if someone feels that others in the world are happier and better off than them, then that is sheer ignorance and an illusion. If a person learns to live his/her life with compassion towards oneself and learns to treat all work as one’s pious duty then all work will be like a sadhana. He says that a householder’s work is a sadhana which is in many ways higher than that of a renunciate. Attainment and liberation for a householder is easier compared to that of a renunciate.

How Does One Balance Spiritual and Material Life - [Hindi]

In this discourse Om Swami talks about the most valuable thing in a person’s life. He says, it’s ok if a person loves himself or herself more than anything else, but people who love inanimate things more than anything else, cannot be happy at all. For, anybody who is attached to lifeless things will become lifeless, but, a person who loves god will become god he says. Whenever any person feels that they are not progressing spiritually they have to ask themselves what they are attached to.
To be liberated one has to detach from all attachments. The person who has the courage to cut off from all attachments is the only one who is capable of giving society and it’s people shelter and refuge says Om Swami. [Value yourself in life]

Value Yourself In Life - [Hindi]

The question asked here was- Can the base energies like (sexual energies) be channelized into something higher which can make geniuses? Is it possible to stop the sexual thoughts with brute force? Does practicing kechari mudra convert one’s sexual energy into higher energy?
[Are Certain Kinds of Thoughts Immoral]

Om Swami says that he does not believe that practicing kechari mudra or doing pranayama can reduce lustful thoughts or convert one’s sexual energy into a higher energy. He says pranayama calms a person and flushes them with energy but it does not purge one of lustful thoughts. What is thought of as immoral by humans is not considered as immoral by nature he says. When people meditate for long, then they can get control of their thoughts and so these sexual thoughts don’t bother them anymore and they are not driven by their sexual desires and don’t waste their sexual energy. If one fills up their time doing beautiful things then there is no idle time for these thoughts to take centrestage he says. Om Swami says that if one feels that these thoughts are immoral then they will feel guilty which will in turn effect the consciousness of the person making them weak. One needs to be strong to take control of these thoughts. Any thought which interrupts a person from doing their work is worth harnessing says Om Swami.

Are Certain Kinds Of Thoughts Immoral Part 1

In this discourse, Om Swami addresses how to live life. There is a misconception that one who meditates is happy, in reality, one who meditates is often unhappy. This is because meditation isn't a path of happiness but more a path of awareness. Everyone has a style of living, and one must make their own personal philosophy to life.

Living Life By Your Personal Philosophy - [Hindi]

the sexual thoughts with brute force? Does practicing kechari mudra convert one's sexual energy into a higher energy?
[Are Certain Kinds of Thoughts Immoral]

Om Swami says that if one’s energies are invested in something worthwhile and if a person’s free time was filled up with something beautiful, then, sexual thoughts will not bother them. Any thought which makes a person feel guilty will only weaken their consciousness he says. To get control over one’s thought a person needs to be stronger than their thoughts. Any intruding thought entering a person’s mind without their permission needs looking into as it takes a person further away from their goal, says Om Swami. He further says that eating sattvik food can help a person up to a certain extent, and if one accepts themselves the way they are, without battling themselves, then, they can rapidly grow spiritually.

Are Certain Kinds Of Thoughts Immoral Part 2

This is part 2 of a 4 part series. The first video in the series was Living Life by your Personal Philosophy. 
In this discourse, Om Swami says that everybody has their own personal way of living their life. People may have lofty aims of self-realization or some such thing but that need not necessarily bring happiness to a person. Having their own philosophy and living according to it will give a person the satisfaction and happiness that they lived their life according to their principles he says. Om Swami further says that one should retire to bed at the same time every day as the mind becomes ready and the body gets used to it. He says that it is also important to have food in moderation and not till the point of satisfaction as partaking in food is like a sacred relationship and conversation with God and therefore it should be had in that spirit.

How To Practice Zen In Daily Life - [Hindi ]

The question asked here was - Sometimes when in meditation we reach a stage almost divine but we know that there is an even better stage. How can one get to the first stage at will and then to the second stage?

Om Swami says that any good and recurring experience during meditation is a very good sign. To be in that good state whenever desired, the two things required are extreme mindfulness and a desire and willingness to purify oneself constantly says Om Swami. Supreme mindfulness helps a person in choosing their words and actions and in not pursuing their endless thoughts. Not pursuing thoughts helps a person to be in a blissful state which in turn will help in good meditation he says. To get to the next stage in meditation one needs to do things differently, i.e by challenging themselves and by bringing changes to the quality and quantity of the meditation done. If this is not done, then, one cannot progress but may in all chance digress says Om Swami. He says that unless value is added, spiritual growth cannot happen. One should constantly purify themselves and work on their shortcomings to get to the next stage he says.

This is part 3 of a 4 part series. The first video in the series was Living Life by your Personal Philosophy. The second in the series was How to Practice Zen in Daily Life. Fearless Life: How to Live?
In these discourses Om Swami talks about living life according to one’s own personal philosophy. He says this will give a person the happiness that they lived their life according to what they felt was best. Here he speaks of some of the things that can help a person to lead a happier life. He says a person should think before they speak and should do what they say. Further he says that people plan and think too much before doing something and that is not necessary. Certain things should be left to god and destiny and so one should not try and grab things he says. Having a fearless attitude and the heart of a child will help a person navigate through life without feeling dejected or sad. Ultimately everyone is but a child at heart even though they have grown up physically says Om Swami.

Fearless Life  How To Live  [Hindi With English CC]

Two questions have been answered by Om Swami in this discourse. The first question asked was- In human life we fall down many times, get bruised, get up and walk again to fall down again. Is this normal and the usual pattern of human life?

Om Swami says that this is the usual pattern but if one is walking a straight path then the chances of falling down are lesser. Walking without running, keeping one’s eyes open and on the road will avoid accidents. The same applies to life he says. If one is living a straight forward life the chances of slipping and falling and getting hurt will be few. To rise above our conditioned mind one has to rise above the usual mind set and think in a new way he says.

In this episode, Om Swami says that everyone should have their own philosophy of life and live their life accordingly.

Only a fearless person can do something different in this world he says.

Learn The Art Of Waking Up In The Morning - [Hindi ]

Om Swami says, sometimes people wonder how to lead one's life or sometimes they ask how do you know it's your inner calling. There comes a moment when you ask yourself, "what are you doing with your life". Om Swami talks about a book called the Second Mountain that he read a while back. The book says there are two mountains in one's life. When one tries to climb the first mountain, they want to reach the top of the summit and conquer the mountain. This is based on our desires in wanting to achieve success as we have been taught we will be happy when we conquer that mountain. In reality, that is often not the case, once we get what we set out to, there comes a moment where you realize that, "I'm on top of the summit but where do I go from here". That's where inner calling comes into play. That calling is so strong that we are no longer nagged by our ambition, instead we want to surrender, and we want a bigger thing to draw us into a grander existence.

How Do You Find Your Inner Calling? - Om Swami [English]

In this episode, Om Swami talks about an introduction to the Srimad Bhagavad Gita. There are eighteen chapters in the Bhagavad Gita. Bhagavad means a person who is like God and the meaning of Geeta is- the song of God, he says. The Bhagavad Gita has been given the status of Upanishad. Om Swami says that only four people speak in the Bhagavad Gita and they are Dhritharashtra, Sanjay, Arjun and Krishna.
In the Bhagavad Gita Dritarashtra represents tamas, Sanjay-Sattva, Arjun-rajas and Krishna who is beyond these attributes represents selflessness and one without desires. Similarly, there are four stages in a person’s life to go from being a human to becoming one with god says Om Swami. Krishna tells Arjun not to share the knowledge of the Bhagavad Gita to people who don’t have devotion and reverence towards him, he says. Any person who reads the Bhagavad Gita just like a book will not be able to get the essence and secret of it. Till a person does not understand it’s innermost meaning and secret it will be just a piece of dry knowledge without illuminating their lives in any way says Om Swami. Krishna says that when he grants his grace, he changes the very thought process of a devotee, due to which wrong actions don’t even get performed, as all actions get performed only with the start of a thought.

An Introduction to the Bhagavad Gita [Hindi]

In this discourse, Om Swami talks about if excessive exercise is good for one. Om Swami says it doesn't take a lot for a person to become a fanatic in anything. When we exercise, there is a release of neurotransmitters involved, when we maintain those exercise levels those chemicals start to feel less. This makes a person goes on to do more and more. Anything done in moderation is good, even if it's endurance training it has to built up gradually. It's very important to exercise. If you are not in a fit body, you are doing yourself a great injustice. It is not only a privilege but also one's responsibility to maintain their physical fitness.

Is Excessive Exercise Good For You  - Om Swami [English]

In this discourse, Om Swami talks about the time when Lord Ram is back in Ayodhya after winning the war in Lanka and handing the kingdom's reigns (Lanka)to Vibheeshan. Lakshman, having been in the constant company of his brother lord Ram through thick and thin, was nagged by the thought that lord Ram considered both Bharat and Hanuman as saintly and had mentioned it often but had never mentioned it to him(Lakshman) in those terms. To get an answer to this, Lakshman places his doubt in front of lord Ram. Lord Ram responds by saying that it's easy for people to relinquish things when one does not have anything, but to relinquish when one has everything is very difficult and could not have been done by anyone except Bharat. According to Lord Ram, any other person other than Bharat would surely have ruled the land and enjoyed the power that came with it for fourteen years. Om Swami says that the intoxication of power is such that anyone who gets it cannot let go of it.

As a continuation of the last discourse, Lakshmana asks Lord Ram, to explain the difference between a realized soul/saint vs. a normal person. He asks Lord Ram, does a person become a saint just by taking the name of God, similar to how Vibshana had. Lord Ram says the difference is that a saintly person does not sacrifice his good gunas/values come what may. But, an ordinary person succumbs to base qualities giving up their good qualities the minute something affects them adversely. The easiest way to become saintly is to give up anger.

Lessons from Sri Ram's Life - Part 2 [Hindi]

One thing that is clear is that Mother Divine is not bound to any ritual or to any method. She is not a lower form of energy, where we can just chant the mantra and bind her and bring her in front of us. She is Mother Divine. She has the most divine form one can imagine. When you are in love, you don't maintain an account with the other person in which you keep record of who loves whom how much; you just love. Similarly, with Mother Divine no account is possible. I cannot say that I will call you two and half crore times, which is a lot of time, and therefore you should show me your form. It is just not possible. 

We have to realize where we belong in this creation. We are part of the divine but only qualitatively. Quantitatively we are one tiny drop. Earth is a tiny drop in the galaxy. Our galaxy is a tiny drop in the universe. The universe is a tiny drop in the multiverse. The scale of creation is extraordinarily infinite. To experience the divine, somewhere we have to be divine. I am expounding on the essence of Lalitha Sahasranamam on my faith and the basis of my faith is the direct experience. I beg for forgiveness to Mother Divine for this audacity to say that I will expound on the essence of Lalitha Sahasranamam. 

Listen to this discourse full of divinity on the Essence of Lalitha Sahasranamam by Om Swami.

Aaj Mere Piya Ghar Aavenge [Song]

If Truth Be Told (A Monk's Memoir) is Om Swami's memoir slated to be released in November 2014 by Harper Collins India. 

Often when you do things in the world whether that is getting educated, getting married and having kids, ultimately all of that is done so that you can be happy but this does not lead to real happiness. This only leads to some temporary pleasures. Every time you have a glimpse of that pleasure you mistake it for happiness. 

Self-realization is that state of transcending these temporary pleasures and trading them for constant state of happiness. All of our pleasures live in the mind anyway. Imagine if you could go to the source of those pleasures, the mind itself.

Watch this short video by Om Swami to get a glimpse about his life and journey of self-realization beautifully narrated in his upcoming memoir.

Lalita Sahasranama

Om Swami giving an introduction of his book “The Ancient Science of Mantras” on request from the audience. I have spent many years on the path of the science of mantras. This book explains how the mantras were originated and before that it talks about how sadness, unhappiness came into existence. It also talks about the hurdles you face while invoking the mantras. How one should choose the mantra, what are the flaws in mantras and how you can correct those flaw.  It also explains how Nyasa should be done and how hand locks (mudras) are to be performed. The book has information on how to invoke the deity of the mantra, the four pillars of sadhana. If a person does not have a guru in their physical form then how can they invoke that guru to do the sadhana. I have written this book for people who do not have a guru in their life.

Mantra Sadhana || The Ancient Science of Mantras - [Hindi]

Jo Mange Thakur Apne Te

Harivarasanam, also known as Hariharatmaja Ashtakam, is a hymn of eight verses of Lord Ayyappa extolling his virtues. This is sung every evening at the Sabrimala temple in Kerala. 

Here's the description taken verbatim from the official website of the temple: 

Synonymous with the Ayyappa temple at Sabarimala, this ashtakam extolling the virtues of Lord Ayyappan/Ayyanaar is sung just before the closure of the shrine at night after the final poojas. As the concluding stanzas are recited, the assistant Santhis (Priests) leave the Sanctum Sanctorum; only the Mel Santhi (Head Priest) remains inside the Sreekovil. Extinguishing the lamps one by one, he shuts temple doors for the night. 

Harivarasanam celebrates the union of the human soul with the ultimate and expounds the greatness of Ayyappan. It is believed to have been composed by Kumbakudi Kulathur Iyer and was first recited at Sabarimala in 1955 by Swami Vimochananad.

Harivarasanam

The idea is that when we enter the sanctum or an altar, first of all, we are moving with the belief that we are playing with living energy. That it’s living energy that we are trying to invoke and that energy has been staying there even when we are not chanting. So, we first want to knock on the door before we enter.  We also want to alert any small microorganisms. There is a mantra for that and with that, they would usually strike their right heel three times on the floor.  The idea was that the microorganisms would move away and you are walking on a clean path and not accidentally kill any creature.

When I talk about living energy, there is one story that comes to my mind. It is a beautiful real-life story.

Imbibing Living Energy of Mantra

The question is what is the easiest way to attain peace? The foremost easiest way to be at peace is to stop listening to your mind. When you don’t listen to your mind, it is quiet and at peace. The mind makes a noise when it is being heard. If you want to understand mind, you have to think of a small child. When a child is making a noise, the parents may be doing their work, they may be watching TV or even fighting with each other and it will still be okay if the child is making the noise. However, as soon as they direct their attention towards the child, he will start doing things that the child was not doing before. The child’s accomplished his aim. He wanted the parents to give attention and time to him and that’s what the parents did. 

Similarly, when the mind talks and if you listen to it, the mind will start saying it louder. This is mind’s primary aspect. If someone said something to you that you did not like, it will start saying all negative things about that person.

Meditation

Om Swami is a Himalayan monk, adept in meditation. At the peak of his meditative practice, he was meditating for 22 hours a day. He has spent 15,000+ hours meditating & has experienced our sublime consciousness in ways that defy any scientific understanding.

Researchers from IIT in India have studied the remarkable effects of his intense practice and published the results in a 2019 research paper https://bit.ly/3axrzdv 

After coming back from Himalayas, Swami wanted to help sincere seekers in search of enlightenment. Gradually he realized that people wanted his help for various ‘how to’ in life (joy, relationship, anger, work, self-discipline, stress, etc). Through his talks, seminars, books, and videos – his purpose remains the same – to help people. 

Whether you are practicing meditation, mindfulness, or simply looking for help with self-discipline – this channel can help. Think of it as a series of self-help videos and don’t forget to
