Why am I Here if I am a PART of GOD? Swami Mukundananda

I am an eternal soul. I am an infinitesimal part of God. The Vedas say that I am a part of His 'Jeev Shakti'. If that is the case, why am I separated from God? Why don't I remember God? Watch this video to find the answer.

About Swami Mukundananda
Swami Mukundananda is a global spiritual leader, philosopher, visionary, author, and humanitarian. He is the founder of JKYog (Jagadguru Kripaluji Yog), which offers a unique Yogic System known as Yoga for Body, Mind, and Soul.
Swamiji has distinguished engineering and management degrees from two world-famous Institutes in India, IIT and IIM. Swami Mukundananda took the renounced order of life after giving up his promising corporate career. He is a senior disciple of Jagadguru Shree Kripaluji Maharaj, who entrusted him with spreading Vedic Knowlege and Bhakti Yog throughout the world.
In this channel, Swamiji explains the profound knowledge of scriptures like Bhagavad Gita, Srimad Bhagavatham, Narad Bhakti Darshan, Ramayan, Mahabharat, and other Bhakti topics with sound logic that is easy to understand and apply in our daily life.

[@Lotus12333]

This concept from the Vedas reminds us that we are never truly separated from God, but instead, it us our perception that creates the illusion of separation. It is only when we let go of our ego and material desires, and focus on our inner connection to the divine, that we can truly remember God. This serves as a powerful reminder for me not to get caught up in the distractions of the world, but to constantly strive towards reconnecting with the divine energy within us. Thanks Swami Ji for imparting this knowledge. My humble pranam at your lotus feet. Radhey Radhey 🙏 🙏

Swami ji, I recently got your copy of Bhagavad Gita: The Song of God and would like to thank you for writing this commentary in such a way that everyday I look forward to read it. I am able to grasp the sanskrit very easily & understand each word perfectly. Thank you for guiding us in this path of God-Realisation.

We are never separated from God, we are a separated energy of God that has it's own individuality. Having individuality we have some minute independence and when use our minute independence to try and enjoy existence without Krishna maya is what is offered to us.

[@cutechiangels]

Better explanation than Swamii Mukundananda. Thanks! 👍

[@ashissaha7334]

Then maya is also creation of God & we enjoy it to some extent and ego creates.Then also come Karma effect.This fogetfullness of almighty is also Lila/khela of God?And thus creation or existence is being continued?

[@sandhyadas6323]

We are not the body we are the soul, a tiny patt of God. But we are so attached to this material world that have forgotten our true self and searching that eternal happiness here, which is quite impossible. So when we turn our face towards God , search happiness in Him, pray and beg Him for His divine happiness, He immediately comes and graces us.

[@user-us6fi8rh4r]

We have forgotten our trueselves hence we are no less than a mad person who has forgotten who he is. By forgetting that we are souls and tiny fragment of Supreme soul, we consider we are body and then keep serving it in pursuit of happiness, that of course material world and its senses and objects cannot provide. We are souls and our happiness is in attaching ourselves to the ocean of bliss, the God. Great explanation and enumeration provided by Swamiji..Radhey Radhey.

[@ManishSharma-sk2zh]

The Lulu Syndrome - very funny yet a true fact! Can't stop wondering why Maya is so strong that Jiva dies life after life banging its head trying to break past Maya - seemingly never ending endeavor with no sign of success. Thanks for this beautiful message!

[@williamburts5495]

Krishna says in the gita, " this divine energy of mine ( maya ), consisting of the three modes of nature, is difficult to overcome. But those who have surrendered unto me can easily cross beyond it."

If you overpower maya then you overpower God. Not possible. Surrender to Sri HariGuru because his mercy is our only salvation.

We shouldn't live for ourselves, every moment we should live for Him only, then we can know Him properly.

Soul and supersoul are ever together.But is only the soul that has turned vimukh to God and has forgotten its identity and its eternal connection to the Supreme. The soul identifies with Body and gets allured by materiality. Real Happiness isnt in the material world. It is in the Supreme Divine alone. Maya is cinema( reel) life and with God is our Real life.

Wow, another mind-blowing lecture! The jeeva, Brahm and Maya reside in the same location so why is it that Maya has overpowered the jeeva and separated it from God? The jeeva’s consciousness has turned away from God. Hence, it runs after worldly pleasures in search of permanent happiness and as a result, Maya keeps troubling the soul. Thank you, Swamiji for the most enlightening lecture.

Dear Swamiji, I keep listening to your valuable speeches. One doubt, if God is inside us, what is the purpose of being in the form of Maya also and making us not to realize the Devine and we leading to bad things/bad thoughts/ bad Karmas? He is the Supreme and he could have made everyone as God realized, why he did not do ?

[@texasryann]

You are hinting at truth. We are not God. God lives inside us. If you were everywhere you would be able to shift your focus at will. You would be able to be with every one personally out of love since it is all you. But you are differentiated. We are a tiny drop of the Ocean of the Lord. He is the ocean as well as the planet that holds the ocean and the universe that holds the planet and the space that holds the universe and the void that holds that space. That is only 1/4th of his being. The rest is in the spiritual dimension. Hari Om Tat Sat
