i dont what to comment i feel so blessed and lucky to have the luck of listening to this Divine Truth ! My humble obeisances and prostrations O Bhagwan 🥺

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]

This is part 4 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. The third video was Fearless Life: How to Live? 

In this episode, Om Swami says that everyone should have their own philosophy of life and live their life accordingly. He says that it’s good if a person goes to bed in the night with the mindset that it may be their last sleep. A person like this is honest with oneself and is fearless. Only a fearless person can do something different in this world he says. Om Swami says that if one has discipline and a routine in the morning of not seeing the phone or TV etc then they will have more time for other beneficial things in life, for which earlier they did not have the time.

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

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.

Lessons from Sri Ram's Life - Part 1 [Hindi]

Lalita Sahasranamam can be done as an independent practice or as part of Sri Vidya. Ma (Mother Divine) is called Sri. Sri means where all the four types of sukhas live. Sri means somebody you can take aashrya (shelter), refuge in. She is situated on the left side of Siva. To really succeed on the path of self-realization or sadhana you have to understand your masculine and feminine aspects and these are forever changing in every human being. There are three aspects of Lalita Sahasranamam, first is devotion, second is meditation and the third is initiation. Devotion is absolutely critical, no matter how tough a yogi you are; devotion alone will make you humble. If you are not devoted to a god or a guru or even to a cause, you will be constantly battling with your own ego and anger all the time. Devotion is of utmost important. 

The first verse of Lalita Sahasranamam says that She is Sri Mata, the ultimate Ma. A mother is the embodiment of compassion. A mother is willing to accept anything. She is Maharagyni, meaning she is not the Maharani (The Queen); She is the Empress. 

Listen to this devotional discourse by Om Swami and gain insight on the Essence of Lalita Sahasranamam.

Sri Hari Aarti with Chorus

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 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.
