*🕉️ Yoga Vasistha: The Mendicant's Journey to Enlightenment - Nirvana Prakarana Purvārdha Section 65, Lesson 326 (Swami Jyotirmayananda)*
Join Swami Jyotirmayananda, the last direct disciple of Swami Sivananda, as he explores the profound teachings of Yoga Vasistha. In this episode, dive into Section 65, Lesson 326 of the Nirvana Prakarana Purvārdha, where Swami Jyotirmayananda uncovers the story of a mendicant who has a series of dreams. This story shows us how the world can seem real but is actually an illusion, and how important it is to know our true Self.

- *2:15* - Swami Jyotirmayananda talks about how we need to use stories and images to make spiritual ideas easy to understand. This is important for people who are new to spiritual learning.
- *3:40* - We are all connected to Brahman, the Absolute. When we know our true self, we can help others find enlightenment too.
