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]

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.

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 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.

Lessons from Sri Ram's Life - Part 2 [Hindi with English CC] 
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.

Hey Govind

An Om Swami discourse given in Calgary on Mar 10, 2013. Language is English.

Calgary Discourse - Mar 2013

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
