I have always greatly admired ISKCON. I learnt so much from ISKCON teachings and Devotees. Thank you. Hare Krishna
When I first saw Radinath Swami speak, I was in tears: I subsequently dropped everything on my calendar and attended each of his events in those coming days. The beauty of his heart shown....as he's journeyed, meditated and chanted through the maze of fog so that, now, illumination shines! This, too, was my goal and what a shining inspiration he is.
My final memory of those events: After an evening talk and chant, I wanted my young son to meet him, so we came forward. Radinath Swami greeted my son and then, with such love, turned to me and shared, "If every mother in the world was like you, our world would be a beautiful place." As one who has experienced early trauma, those words were so deeply healing and continue to reverberate to this day. I have greatest love for Radinath Swami. Deep Bow. Thank you.
One of the most life-changing practices I've ever turned into a habit is meditation.
Highly recommend it
Big same
Same brother, it is the most powerful method to raise consciousness 🙏

Dhyana is actually only one step in the Ashtanga Yoga process, classically called Dhyana. There's a lot more to it. Don't sell yourself short.
William Oarlock guess you’re haven’t gone deep into meditation then! There are hundreds of various types, and depending on your disposition, some forms are more favorable. For instance, if you find guided meditations or silent meditation or focusing on breath not suited to quiet your mind (because if you’re having thoughts that it’s boring and are resisting, then you’re not truly meditating and reached a state of bliss), then try something like chanting mantra, or kundalini yoga or TM, where it’s a bit more engaging. That’s be a great start.
Once you dive deep enough, the reframing of the mind and ego and purification of the heart from meditation are life changing
Russell, you're a good listener. That's where real wisdom begins.

I used to be a drug addict and alcoholic. Working the 12 steps saved my life. Addiction is a symptom of a profound spiritual longing. Once I developed a relationship with God I finally found what my soul was longing for. I now understand that happiness is found within. Looking for it in the world is like watering the branches of a tree instead of the roots. 🙏🌺
Proud of you for changing your life for better.
@@aimeesimpson3340 ❤🙏
Hearing this really brings me joy. I totally agree happiness can only be found within but seeking it in other things is such a strong habit and it takes courage and patience to transform our lives. You've really done this in a profound way!
Then you need to read Anam Cara by John O Donoghue. Our eternal longing to belong.
@@jenzen3745 Thank you Jen ❤🙏
I only hope that I can help others do the same. Blessings 🌺
One thing that helps is being grateful every day.
Being grateful is a really powerful thing, at least for me, it brings me back to reality and what i have here and now.
Yes the attitude of gratitude!
I used to hate the "be grateful for what you have" speech that my mom used to give me as a kid. Now I'm in my 40's and I wish she could say it to me every day as it brings me back to reality from a place of huge negativity and distraction. I find it comforting to achieve gratefulness, even if it is only fleeting sometimes.
Careful, genuine gratitude can turn off some people these days because it's encouraged to play the victim card. Thankfully expressing gratitude helps you weed out the people that don't share your same values though!

Hare Krishna! Oh my heavens I know this man, Radhanath Swami! You must read his books and life story The Journey Home
Yes awesome book 📖
Radhanath Swami’s speeches have got me through some dark situations. Hare Krishna.
Hare Krishna prahbu!
HARE HARE!!! 💕🙏💞
haribol !!

Are you an ISKCon devotee? 🤔
Hare krishna, Hari bol
Russell, your own talks by yourself are a lot MORE REAL and AUTHENTIC than most of your guests. YOU ARE UP TO DATE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you for just being yourself, it is when you are at your BEST!!! I hope I made myself clear. With much love
I like how Russell was deep in thought
Radanath Swami’s kirtans are astounding too! Hare Krishna :)
The absolute master!

What a lovely man.Yes please bring him back again .Thank you so much Russell.Im truly blessed.
Thank you for having Radhanath Swami here. Please bring him again. I wish you can do a live one so I can possibly ask him a question in this lifetime. It would be a honour to do so. ♥️
Russell, thank you! Part of my spiritual practice is listening to you on RUclips. The days I listen and focus on Spirit are good days. Thank you for being you and having the courage to share truth with all of us.
What is this “TRUTH” of which you speak? 🤔
There is no other truth than unconditional love. Been taught this by members of the Fellowship since 1988. Still have only this day counts. Blessings ever from Belfast, Northern Ireland.
Are you an ISKCon devotee? 🤔
What a super calming person. Just makes me feel better listening to him. 😇🙏😇
Likewise! So soothing
I like to sing “Under the skin” to the melody of “Under the sea” for The Little Mermaid sometimes. ☺️
😄 that's pretty funny
Haha! That's so awesome
I've been struggling with alcoholism and I've been praying for help and I decided to go back to AA when the guru says we need to surround ourselves with people who inspires us and help to protect us I instantly thought about the AA meetings that have helped me in the past to then hear the guru speak about AA meetings straight after is a sign right there from the universe a coincidence I think not! 🙏
WELL THERE WE GO! THANK YOU! 💜💜💜
'Compassion towards oneself and others is the highest way to live' - David R Hawkins- Power vs Force. Ties perfectly with this message. And it references and mentions AA and the 12 step programs too #synchronicity
nice bloke
💗💗💗 Thank you for these most genuine reminders
Amazing interview and great points. Very edifying. Thanks, Russell.
Thank you Russel for walking me home 🥰💙🙏
Tonight after the rain, I stepped outside after the humidity died down and looked up the sky and was thankful that some of the light pollution was a bit lower in my neighborhood, so I noticed the stars. I actually smiled and then cried because it was so beautiful and yet I am very distraught over the treatment of our earth.
Looking forward to listening to this on Saturday 🙂
Practice gratitude and praise in every moment
Love forgiveness and healing...that's it. That simple, making our way home 🙏❤🙏❤
Amen 💕💕
😂
It's not that simple. But of course that sells well nowadays. Why bother with pain, suffering, real growth and development when you can get all cosy and fluffy about it. Lol.
Sending love and gratitude, Divine Soul 🙏💜🙏💜🙏💜🙏
I love this it's awesome, I love everything you stand for at your hearts level. Easiest way to find your true self, is very simple. You are aware that you suffer from these thoughts, when you feel yourself being overwhelmed, go to your place of meditation or happy, pre three times straight to the heart slow and deep. Never let anything even what you think is a flaw and you need to work on question what you are shown and how quick it all will start showing up. The more you question the harder it gets for a while. I know this from experience when you have no one to listen to you no friends, but you want to keep your heart wide open for these three teenage daughters that you now have at 40, as a pot smoking beer drinking manic depressive bipolar person. On no doctor prescribed meds. and all of them want to finish school and know that I love them cuz I've been home every night. That's all that matters to me. Love light and Truth seeking comes to light for all. Did you know that your heart has brain cells. Use that is the root and use your brain has the canopy from which your intelligence in mind come from
Love this answer. Some really practical gems
Hare Krsna Prabhuji. I appreciate what you're doing. Blessings to you and your family.
Really insightful. Yes sometimes a crisis leads to spirituality but I also believe a sense of contentment also does
I loved this podcast. So inspiring. Thanks Russell.
Meditation may be the best way to beat Saturday night fever.
Interesting people say Russel is a good listener. My parents would say otherwise and I agreed.. started getting into him again and realised he really is. I think he has a slight narcissism which he himself admits but he’s done so much to combat it. But when you forget the idea you have of him and actually take in what he’s saying he does listen and really the way he holds conversation is what we need in this time of polarisation and extremes. I have every respect to the bloke, hope I can be sober too
Hare krishna guru ji 🧡

Love to listen you ❤
Greetings and " नमस्तस्यै " From India 🇮🇳

Balance. Balance in mind, spirit and the physical body. Balance in our emotional behaviours. Its OK to be angry just as much as it is OK to be filled with joy and kindness. It's how we harness the balance that is everything. There is no need to deny ourselves physical pleasures in the hope of some deep and meaningful spiritual awakening. The body and the spirit are two sides of the same coin, it is how they work with each other rather than against each other that is the key.
💯 agree. Surround yourself with positive people and cut the toxic people out of your life
What if I'm the toxic person in my life? Not so hard to get rid of him, and he resists change so vehemently sometimes.
David Kinsella at least you recognise that which is great. Catch yourself in weak moments and soon hopefully you’ll be in a place where you think a lot more before you act. Peace ✌️
@@daithiocinnsealach3173 watch how you respond to emotional triggers instead of projecting hem out to people
@@CallumTash That's the aim. One thought at a time.
@William Oarlock That's another danger. The narcissist who only wants to be affirmed and cannot stand criticism. Plenty of those in religious/spiritual circles too.
Beautifully expressed.
Spiritual life is all about living in love. ♡♡
Thank you for re-uploading 🙌🏼 the audio wasn't good at the end. I just subscribed yesterday, and loved this video. I tried going to the podcast in Luminary, but it's not available in Peru 🇵🇪 yet.
Anyone can, not everyone does 🙏🏻

If Russell's, mind is rare, as an awakened mind.....and a thinking mind is certainly of much value....
And nudging others towards this same enlightenment

Hey Russel! just wanted to say that I absolutely love your videos and a lot of your videos remind me of a similar minded man named Jason Silva he's extremely well spoken and definitely does his research he is truly amazing when it comes to this kind of stuff. And I just wanted to express how amazing it would be if you guys did a video together. I think you would have an amazing talk with him. The channel I found him on is "Shots of Awe". Just a recommendation tho!!!!! And keep up the videos I absolutely love them they are very mind opening and have helped me a lot in my day to day life.
Your conversation bring here a lot of values, real values. Amazing work, thank you. How can we speed up the luminary access in more countries? We're going through a period of our lives when these kind of content can show us and remind us the right way. The addiction is high, we need the dose! : ) Thanks man!
in my opinion the darkest places of our lives can be a huge door than leads us to seek faith
Best of luck brother Russel!
❤️Hare Krishna!
hare krishna
Boom 💥 blessings and love always 🙏🌸💞 he says it all .....go get it ...it's all achievable 🌸🤗😊🌸
Much love for you and your path Russel
I love Russell!
I was hoping you’d be able to do another episode with Radhanath Swami, the first was fantastic...so now I’m also really hoping that you pop the whole thing on RUclips pretty please 🙏🏻
I need a Guru,!
Great advice. Wow. Super.
I like the way Russell reiterated what the Swami said in like 2 minutes ...
I think faith is blind belief in whatever your God is ... you can't learn faith because it's a feeling, like when you are hungry & your tummy growls.
I am just glad the Russell finally looked within to find peace of self & understands that fame, money, power are earthly things that are meaningless once you shed your body and your soul is free. The soul is nourished by good happy loving healthy feelings ....
my two fav persons Shree Radhanath swami and Russel Brand
Radhanath ((swami)) is a charlatan who worshipped the "samadhi" of a paedophile, Keith Ham..Kirtanananda "Swami" search for Radhanath Swami messiah or antichrist
people....... never apologies
for being honest....that's your reputation to keep
judge me when you're....perfect
and never stop learning
because life never stop
teaching
your future depends on what
you do in the present
Do you BELIEVE in free-will? 🤔
@@TheWorldTeacher defined free will
Awww maaaan. I might have to start paying for luminary because of this.
Faith is taking the first step even when you cannot see the stairs 💮💮💮
...inspire us & protect us 🙏❤🌎🌿🤟🐸
Aaron Abke would be a great interviewee! Ego, Law of One, A Course In Miracles, Christ Consciousness, Duality, and so much more. His wisdom is amazing and would leave a lasting impression. 🙏🏻
Don't forget to be happy though! A lot of seriousness going on over here good sir
"Gotta Serve Somebody" by Bob Dylan
is about the choice to be selfish...or not.
i always wondered did he mean you either serve the 'devil' ie your own most selfish desires, or 'god' the best interests and needs of others?
seumas Broderick He did mean what you are saying.
Dylan made a deal with the devil. He chose poorly.
Russell, why follow those whose wisdom is to shave themselves and wear orange clothes when you can listen to the words of God? in the old testament he speaks clearly abut how the jews never behaved, always wicked and he had to destroy them time and again. All he asked was to be righteous, not cheat others, not lie, not steal their wives, not get into perverse spiritual practice with beastly 'gods'. Remember the one true God, the source of the tree of life. Without whom nothing exists. If you don't scheme in darkness, if you stand in the light of truth, if you love the truth and seek it, you will find it. It is a thin glowing line with infinite ways to miss it. The more you insist on aligning with it the more nothing shall be impossible to you.
It's loving the truth even if the entire world will hate you for it. It's speaking the truth even if death is guaranteed if you do.
Black crimes matter is a hysterical criminal organisation with zero merit. Homosexuality is closely related to pedophilia and mental illness, it is not now, nor was it ever nor will it ever be a good thing. the promotion of it as precious rainbows and unicorns is satanic evil. Fooled in the name of nicety and empathy to embrace evil. Do you see.
Russell, your channel only allow very brief comments. FIX!
"By serving others... our own highest needs are met..." Djwhal Khul
Thanks Russell. Needed that reminder to put time into practice as I'm getting too distracted lately. 🙏☮💜
Ditto
Me too! I was doing quite well during the tightest part of lockdown. Now its easing I'm slipping into old habits, dropping my exercise and forgetting to meditate...back on it this morning!
Hare Krishna!
Beautiful
Please give POC a voice on your platform Russell
Yaaay!
please have Sdhguru on! Thanks for all
My soul felt so soothed by just his voice, spiritual practices have helped me with healing and will continue to 😇🙏
Russell i find Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche's meditation a way of being rooted in the awareness within, recognizing that awareness, and thus able to free ourselves from any attachments also bringing clarity to our thinking minds... U should once interview him also...
Hinduism is best Way of leaving life and close to concept of GOD.🙏🙏🙏🙏
Аmazing ..... revolution.

Spirituality to me is attempting to live in harmony with the world. But that is so hard. My past, my present, my possible futures. All seem to conspire against me. I attempt to live simply in the present but I am haunted. And then I want to lash out. But doing that only incites more negativity. I feel trapped inside my own head.
Big subject to answer on here, but keep on trying, it will be worth it. Make small changes as and when you can and it will all accumulate. Don't worry too much if you stray from the direction you want to be going for a while, pick it up again when you can. Good luck.
Who is it that feels trapped? To whom does feeling trapped arise? Who is being conspired against? Who attempts to live simply? Who wants to lash out? Who is trapped inside who's head? Look for who this is, in spite of fear. Your answer may be, "me! I! I feel trapped. I want to lash out. I am burdened." Then the next question might be, "Who am I?" Do not answer, for it will be "I" that answers, and it will not do. Simply apply this to every single thought that arises, over and over again. Surrender time, surrender outcome, surrender expectations. Who is expecting? Who wants an outcome? "I do", okay, "Who am I really?" Be with the silence that remains. Follow yourself to the source and see if you can find anyone. Good luck, you're loved!
PREMIUM CONTENT!
Russel I feel all yoru recordings are a little low on sound. My volume is up buddy. Does anyone else agree ??? If not belay last and keep up with the great material .....
My darling Russell, can you talk to the LUMINOSITY people and ask them to make themselves available in Sweden?!?!?! Please!!!🤗❤️👍
Yes
Is it just me or does this guy give off a bit of a John Malkovic vibe??

1. Find your way to see outside of your thoughts and see your energy.
2. Bring peace to others, forgive them but show them the way, so they are non destructive to others or themselves. Teach them what you learned. Be two persons with the same mindset.
3. Spread this all over the world so we can enjoy what we do or decide what is okay being enjoyed.
4. Get rules for humanity. It's important to: Be safe as a World. Safe the planet, life with it. Find ways to spread in the universe and life peaceful with the universe. No fights like in Star Wars :)
This is everything we need to be happy, but also not being a negative energy to anyone at the same time! Also, we combined Happyness with Science/Development and Evolution! Best there is. Our energy is not "wasted" for Happyness it's happy energy put to work AS A TEAM to get further out there (not needed, but nice to know that we live on and make peace with the whole universe)
OUR BIGGEST MISSION IS TO SPREAD/SHARE WHAT WE ARE ALREADY SPREADING! ❣️
Iam German, hope it's good English.
💎
Ger in the habit of asking yourself, is this in the best interest of my highest self? We all know the answer, but we often do what we know is not in the best interest of our highest self.
I love this GURU, my guy! He has a Jolly laugh! I see the spiritual life that RB is searching out and it shows! Kindness! first and always! It will trump all the feelings you will ever harbor and throw them away with kindness! Yes, on like-minded people because there are people playing the role of wanting to help others but in it for their own self gratitude! Not everyone is kind in the world! Have faith and just keep swimming! LOL
When you finna host some POC on your platform Russell ?
Hare Krishna
Where can I find the full interview, please? 🙏
We humans are at risk of thinking that to be 'spiritual' has only one way of being or living! Sure you can go into the path of the guru if you want but don't start thinking that is what spiritual looks like!!!! It ain't all neutral coloured robes and slow soft talking! A lot of people are attracted to that type of spirituality because it is peaceful, calming, simple and does not require effort or pain. In a world where stress is everywhere that type of eastern blended guru based self help path can be very tempting.
A thought though, most people would agree that Jesus Christ is spiritual. He was tempted and suffered greatly (not to be confused with Buddhist ideas of suffering). He didn't just say go and sit on your bum in a yoga pose gazing at clouds. Spiritual is WHAT WE ARE it is not something you become, you are it already, but it is not a cosy nice version of real life!
As a side note. I always find it funny when people self identify as Buddhist and then speak about God. Seriously? Lol.
these abrahamic religions are the biggest scam ever created. they only reinforce racist and sexist ideas in the form of a religious book and now they are stealing spiritual ideas from India and saying jesus is the only way to become spiritual.
🙏🏻
Spirit and energy are the same. They are no different from each other.
The energetic life is entered into by first and FOREMOST, tuning the body to a subtle frequency through lightening up the foods, we eat, the material things we possess, the friendships we have and the daily actions we take.
To be aware of energy and to act from that awareness is the correct method for living a Spiritual Life.
We are Spirits living a human experience.
To remember this at all times is what the Spiritual path is all about.
Non attachment, letting go, being aware of the temporal nature that is existence itself. And celebrating that!!!🙏🧡
