The talk was very enlightening. Significant takeaway for me: While the experience of ultimate bliss makes every other experience inconsequential, it helps to conciously decide to break those habits which lead to only temporary joy.
Nothing in creation is inconsequential. Once your consciousness rises your habits and patterns naturally drop away or stay as per your requirement.

Being Sanyansi doesn’t mean running away from responsibilities but taking more responsibilities of higher purpose. A great thought by guru ji.
Don't judge anyone by their outer behavior.
One of the Golden nuggets.👑
Guruji is so so humble just like his father was pittaji his sister Bhanu is the same such a humble family who has carried on ancient wisdom throughout there lives, gratitude to your whole family Guruji,💖England,
How come I never knew of this wonderful guy? I listen to Sadhguru, Eckart Tolle, Alan Watts, and read on Gurdjieff. I'm surprised to just come across this wise Guru. Added to the list of masters of wisdom.
Sudarhsan kriya breathing technique that Sri Sri Ravishankar has discovered has changed millions life across the globe. Try it out and thank me later. 😀
Just discovered him too. Added to my list
Well if u wanna seek honesty and truth and live a meaningful life i would suggest Acharya Prashant as well
Add swami sarvapriyananda of ramakrishna mission too. Listen to him once.
Do the 4-day Art of Living Happiness program. Full of wisdom and Sudarshan Kriya, a life transforming technique.
Thank you gurudev. I practice celibacy for 7 months, the bliss of life is amazing.
A Sanyasi is the biggest family man !! 23:00 ultimate answer on Maya. Blessed to hear Gurudev mention about Gurudev's Gurudev HH Sri Bhramanandha Swaraswathi Jyothir Mutt Shankaracharya.
True love is in the experience of divine bliss and once you have experienced it , even for a moment you are forever changed thank you Shri Ravi Shankar for sharing with us. 🙏🏽🌸
Grateful to have been a part of this knowledge session in person 😇 Listening to Gurudev is always so blissful. He decrypts complex subjects and presents it in an understandable manner for us all.
Ey lucky you!
There is so much of positivity in Gurudevs talks....I could feel instant peace when he spoke of Maya and Celibacy.
Feeling so blessed to have heard this talk. I just lost my youngest sister to COVID. This has helped me go thru this lose. Pranam Gurudev!
May her soul rest in peace... May the blessings of Gurudev get you through this asap...🙏🙏
My thoughts and prayers for you and your family. 🙏🙏 🙏

Good Questions and The BEST Answers! Gurudev is undoubtedly the very personification of Knowledge! I prostrate 🙇🏻
Oh Gurudev! I was and still am mesmerized. I felt as if I was sitting right there, soaked in your profound wisdom and auro.
Felt the same....
Totally
OoPpp
I'm so grateful to live at the same time and to hear Gurudev share.
Such a beautiful demeanor. One without ego or arrogance. He answered every question without mocking anyone.
Lokah Samastah Sukhino Bhavantu 🌸🌼🌺🌸🌼🌺🌸🌼🌺
कुछ नहीं हु ... बस इसी से सब कुछ हो जाता है । 🙏🌹🙏 जय गुरूदेव 🙏
We don't need to either completely renounce or excessively indulge. We just need to be constantly aware & live in that awareness of self.
Oh I do wish I was there, listening to you. How wonderful that we are able to be in the audience.♥️🙏
Pranam
Jai Gurudev! So blessed seeing all dear ones gathered
Do absolutely nice to hear gurudev explaining -who better can address these questions ! Awesome gurudev !🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Sir when I was in class 3 my mother forced me to an one week art of excel workshop. Now I am going to be 20 years of age and now I realise that those 1 week transformed my life forever. It is not that I didn't had hurdles or discontinuation of practices throughout the years. But there is something which always remained constant. I have experienced certain things in the last 2 years and I know this isn't it. And if paramatma has wished I will attain whatever is worth attaining in this lifetime. Om namah shivay.
I resonated with this.... I have been on a spiritual journey for last couple years and it's been up and down, left and right. At times I have been misguided and overcomplicating things... This is not a knock at Christianity, but during my more recent journey, I was studying the Bible and applying its teachings. I do believe it has great truths in it, but I found myself being fairly judgmental and developing a sort of superiority complex. That's dangerous. I actually had a love/hate relationship with my sins when I finally caved to temptations, because while I was disappointed that I had compromised and failed my goal, I felt the superiority complex wash away, and I could not view myself as "holier than thou". I'm not blaming Christianity or the Bible for this. I simply think it was a personal issue. I was expecting to get some type of reward or something deep down, and my ego got the best of me. Even afterwards, I did look at spiritual peoples belongings and riches in a negative light and judged them for it. I suppose that there is nothing wrong with these things, but rather, being attached and identified with these things is the problem instead. If you can't afford to lose it, you shouldn't have it. Maybe if a Guru threw a fit and started crying if his car got wrecked, then I could be skeptical, but simply experiencing things in life shouldn't be automatically looked down at.
This is what we live for
Blessed 🙌 ❤
I love listening to you, Gurudev! You are so sweet, egoless, pure! I have your book. I go back to its teachings every now and then as a reminder!

Guruji.....you dispell the ignorance so easily and effectively.
So many Gurus are spreading wrong information or concepts about enlightenment.
You are the right source to get any question answered🙏🙏
Blessed to have heard this!! Jgd!!
Searching enlightenment is itself an idea!! How can you get rid of thoughts!!
JGD Gurudev Ji 🙏🙏🙏🌹🌹🌹
Literally it was an "Enlightening Talk" ... Thank you very very much for giving such BEAUTIFUL WISDOM... It has cleared years of My Doubts & Confusion.. Otherwise, I was really struggling to balance both SPIRITUALITY & WORLDLY OBLIGATIONS ... The Doubts & Confusions were creating FEAR, leading to impaired ACTIONS ... But after this TALK, I feel I can finally onboard to KARMA YOGA .. All these years, I failed miserably in KARMA YOGA .. Thank you very very much for your KIND LOVE, GUIDANCE & HELP for refining us with each passing day 🥰🥰🥰
So soothing and divine , blessed
As always.. profound knowledge in the simplest manner.. almost everything covered.. this AGA series fantastic.. worth watching again n again..Thanks for organising!
This was one of the best talks I ever heard. Love how such profound life changing knowledge was explained in such a simple natural way. The aura around him is all love and is reflected in the beautiful devotion sanyasis feel for him. 🌻🌻🌻
Even in masjid one finds aura, but again in many masjids around the world, terror attack is planned. So your guruji having daadi, white orbes and siting under a tree hence you are having such feelings. Cheer up man. Sab setup hai.
Jo dikhta hai tabhi toa bikta hai.
@@narayaniyer5723 you're such an intelligent man. You know about my experiences more than me. The insights about daadi and white robe and tree were amazing as well. Never been thought or said before by anyone. Congratulations for all your wisdom. Next time keep it to yourself tho. The world is not ready for you!
@@amansocializing Aman Boy, WILL TRY (since prarabdha Karma plays a major role) to make your predictions false. The world will be ready for me one day. But my students will be extraordinary, no doubt. Till then, bye.
@@narayaniyer5723 yep 👍
such perspective of monk hood just opened up
Thanks for the valuable knowledge.
Happy Birthday! ALL THE BEST!
AND THANKS! 😊
Excellent questions .excellent answers .worthy of time spent . Helps all commited towards growth and development . Thanks regards best wishes Prakashbabu Omtatsat

When humbleness itself reflects the spiritual excellence..!🙏🥰🙌🕉️🌼 Radhe Krishna ❤️🙏🙏 Long Live Guruji & Guide us 🙏
Whenever you ask an enlightened person what is enlightenment, he does not answer he remains silent. Answer is through his own calm, composed and ecstatic mind. This is the most authentic of answering, how a person state of mind is when he has arrived otherwise words are mere hint. Some people also understand wrongly ' I 'and enlightenment do no go together so now they have to go to self denial and self annihilation mode, absence of 'I' simply means you have developed 'I', who does not feel insecured, scarred and always feels that he will be taken care every time and goes with the flow of life and lives fully in it.
Exilent explain gurudev joy gurudev.
Superb questions; superb answers.
Very enlightening, very beautiful.
Very wisdom imparting talk
Eyes opening answers 🙏
I personally love to read comments of people.

गुरुजी को सुनना एक दैवी अनुभूति है, क्या कहने!!! सादर प्रणाम 🙏
The last question was most difficult, but answer was given like thunderbolt, wow
I think no question remains after watching this
Wowowow brot back old memories...splendid..dil maange more 💝🙇♀️
Jaigurudev 🙏💯 Bless me & my family
Wonderful Talk. JGD.
Youth fades, looks fade, physical and mental energy fades, health fades, memory fades; everything fades in old age. Only one's discretionary and careful exercise of celibacy in his/her younger days is his/her friend.
you are on next level Gurudev , No wonder science is running after the puranas for solving mysteries of universe
Very nice and enlightening
Jgd.Amazing knowledge gurujji🎉❤️
Excellent speech
There is no discussion no dialogue is the sign of ignorance of both. Only to accept answer without discussion can't help to attained enlightenment and sanyas. Social work can't be compared with enlightenment and sanyas.
Superb..,❤️🙏🌹 जय गुरूदेव
