Wonderful interview with a beautiful soul and mentor. I’m so grateful for Karunanandaji’s life of service sharing enlightening wisdom. She’s a lifesaver. ✨❤️🙏✨
I got a chance to be around a truly holy man once. He was this short, round little Vietnamese Buddhist monk. The tradition of his school of Buddhism emphasized movement and he taught my son martial arts. He may have saved my son’s life, coming into it at a critical moment. He’d been raised in a Catholic village by Catholic parents, so when he chose Buddhism, he experienced more than a little opposition. He suffered. He once told me, “Jesus is my Buddha.”
I always tell people Sam saved my life, and I mean it. I am a better version of myself thanks to her, so much more healthy mentally. She’s amazing and my hero.
Yes i align with the comments about folks these days - too aware and involved with what's outside of themselves...should we decide to care about our SELVES...all else would be a smoother ride.
@@christophermd216 Thank you for your reply, Christopher. I do not understand who it is that you think is being worshipped....and by whom. And I do not need to know. But for clarity: I, or this soul called "Snehan", have chosen to worship many outer manifestations for decades for the pure joy of it. Kirtan and Puja take me out of my story in the head to reside in the heart. It is perfect.
Interesting discussion about whether the individual or collective experience of kirtan is primary. But I wonder, in the context of Bhakti, which is where kirtan comes from, isn’t the idea that we actually aren’t singing in order to have an experience OR to give an experience to others? Isn’t it the primary goal to transcend those kinds of concerns and sing for the pleasure of God? Ideally, I’m not going to be worried about whether I, or anyone else, has some transformative experience. I’m simply going to perform kirtan because my Lord likes it. If He wants to reward me with some small amount of bliss, great! If not, great!
I like your podcast and hearing how Yoga has healed in different forms. Myself using it more as an athlete and for body restoration. But unfortunately this episode, I have a hard time listening to guest who I have personal experience for a short time. His actions behind the facade are incongruent with what he presents.
I love the lesson "SHUT UP GET OUT" ironically i never liked putting on the false face and was scrutinized in social settings "come out of your shell" yet they were all wearing false shells.
Avi, its already been one year since our first podcast. I feel so honored to sit with you and share our musings. You are so gifted and skilled with bringing me, and others, out in such a heartfelt and authentic way. Thank you so much! I watched our newest Podcast that was published recently and it brings me so much joy to witness our playfullness and curiosity. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-7o3fSQkQS5k.htmlfeature=shared
Avi, thank you again for the invitation to explore in conversation: the Soma, presence, embodiment, enlightenment, choice points, and practice in relationship to discover the "inner yes"!

You are born with life. Most people have to then earn a living meaning if a man doesn't work his doesn't eat. If he dosen't eat he will not be living much longer thus the saying you must earn your living.
What a bunch of crap this is.😮😅😅 If we didn't have these liberal, lefty Snowflakes, that can't even straighten their teeth, but think they have the answer for others...she wants to spin down a bunch of crime and felonies as just guys with no hope??? I hate what our nation has become because of this lady. I spent my life being the same way about some things. But I grew up. They get high because they want to.
I have been on the journey for 19 months if longer, with going through a spiritual awakening. It’s a rough ride most times, and I feel so removed from life, and trying to know my purpose and direction.
Happy to have you on the Journey! I don’t know if it will help but it becomes easier to face the hard things with practice. My tip from being on the journey 11 years in now since my awakening is to focus on being present. Feel your breath, your inner body as much as you possibly can throughout your everyday life. This is the key for both rapid progress as well as being able to face whatever comes your way. Presence is THAT which you’re looking for which of course is yourself. You’re looking for who you really are and you have always been yourself in the only time that exists, which is the present moment. And the present moment is a present, a gift. So by being present you become a gift to yourself and the world! Hope this helps and inspire you to keep going! Let me know I can be of any assistance to you, happy to share what I’ve learned so far! 🙏💕
