Howie...take the art of living course and sahaj samadhi course. It will help you deal with your personal stress and internal struggles. It helps so much.

@@DavidMcdonald-df8tbeverything is helpful in what he says but you have to try and give a chance to do the things he says about (meditation and all like the one advertised in this comment or else you know why you feel like that he said nothing it is because it is close to listening a gym trainer talk but you never stepped a foot in a gym. Listening to him talk makes all sense for people that did train and very little sense for anyone who never gave to gym a try

If only Howie knew how blessed he and his daughter were.. spending so much time with Gurudev..

[@Pmoneys5535]

I live in his ashram. I moved from Boston to art of living banglore. I quit drinking, cigarettes, meat and I don’t take anymore western meds - I got all of the treatments from his Ayuerveda hospital. Gurudev SriSri Ravi Shankar has changed my life. I was under the spell of thinking booze was something I had to live with and eating was an issue - I ate everything that came my way. At srisri Ravi Shankar’s Ayuerveda hospital I got to understand how types of foods affect my body type (pitta) - my body is the fire element and needs foods that need to cool me. This concept has DRASTICALLY changed my life.

[@sanjalikhemani2521]

I have been doing his practices since the last 1.5 years, sudarshan kriya, sahaj, sanyam and man oh man. They are life changing. Gurudev is a person causing so much positive transformation, not just in india, but in the entire world!!! His time and presence is so precious and you are really, really, lucky!! Iam the best verison of myslef, i handle challenges gracefully and easily, I am confident, radiant and becoming everything i always wanted to be!!

[@anmolwadhwa31]

Its so beautiful to me that Gurudev sat down there so patiently answering questions that he has millions of people answer for him. For every life he's touched, anyone can go on talking about his magic for days.

[@just_a_sweetpotato]

Gurudevs answers are really very simple. So simple that it sounds difficult coz how can the solution be so simple - is what we have been taught. We think bigger our problems, the solutions has to be big too. Sometimes the first step to being receptive to The Answers is to first be ready for it.

Guys, wake up. You got this immense opportunity to have one on one with God. Yes, the living God. Come out of big jargon and complicated life. God, Guru and your own self are ONE. Go experience Sudarshan Kriya Yoga 🧘‍♂️. Sit and meditate 🧘‍♀️. You don't even realize you were sitting with a God who incarnated as Human. All because of Maya, the illusion of your own Ego. Surrender and see miracle happens 🙏 Om 🕉 Shanti 🕉 Joy 😊 Gurudeva.

Howie, you’ve been available for your friends and family. That alone is why I sub. From seeing you in others pods to this very pod. I see how much you give in a convo no matter how good or how bad. You can push through. It is a skill and a talent. It’s an attractive trait and maybe one day it alone will have currency if so I feel like I’m the wealthiest man on earth from all the love I could provide, I already do it for a whole country in Belize, and being in Texas also an hour from Austin, I feel like there’s so much to give, 52:01 even the end of how this went, it’s the little extra we all do that makes us perfect. I love you all. And God bless.

16:27 yes at this moment I can’t see the zen. For one. It’s a very personal moment. Thanks for inviting me. I would say us but idk anyone here so I will just speak on my perspective. I want to just say, the thing me and my dad are going thru is the fact that I don’t vacation enough with him, he’s such a work horse that even he fears death before actually settling down, but what I discovered was how meaningful it is to take the time to slow down. It moves to fast and we are children at the end of the day, don’t let our scars fool you. I see Jackie as 23 and howie 36 Your energy means more to me than looks and I hope y’all know that, al though I love style, I I’ll never see someone other than the inner child that they hold close

[@morebobo5942]

Personally, I’m more of a fan of the self realization fellowship started by Paramahansa Yogananda back in 1920. It would be really cool to have someone from that organization to come on as well and speak their truth.

[@aradhana63]

Their truth is the same. Pramhansa is not in body. No one.can speak on his behalf. Followers repeat what he said.

[@morebobo5942]

@ I’m aware of that, but it would be cool to have a member of the fellowship or the president come on a main stream platform and chat about it!

[@manioso77]

33:44 - 33:55 This man will forever live in my heart, just like you three(that’s including your brother Jackie) 34:50 I love all child’s of God and y’all’s light is so precious, one would say contagious, I pray one day my architecture alone sees the light that I hold close to my heart 🤍 I wish to give to world all my art, all my skills, all my gift, all my humor, and all my love. 39:48 I think the topic is slow down, take it each day at a time, yes great to see the next 10 year come into reality but without being present and realizing the breath you just took will never be the same, 42:59 howie I know you’ve said these words before. This is the first time I felt that. I can’t wait to see y’all step back and enjoy your life based not on feeling but on the actual content your life steps into . 47:31 It’s not what you say it’s how you say it

[@dorotaanna000]

Thank you, Howie and Jackelyn, for this wonderful interview with Gurudev! His breathing techniques have truly transformed my life. The 3-day Art of Living Part 1 course (just 3 hours a day, available in-person or online) teaches Sudarshan Kriya, or SKY Breath Meditation. Backed by over 100 studies from institutions like Harvard, Yale, and Stanford, it has been shown to reduce anxiety, improve sleep, and alleviate depression in a short time. I highly recommend the course. SKY Breath Meditation is simple, powerful, and something you can continue practicing daily to build resilience to life’s challenges. P.S. The jam session at the end of the podcast was fantastic! :)

[@JED3YE_MAST3R]

I am a Muslim and I love Guru Dev , I do his meditations every single day , and I’ve done them for the past 3 years and have barely missed even one day. I also do yoga daily and I pray five times a day as well. I accept all religions and I even Chant the name RAM in my meditations occasionally as well as OMMM NAMAH SHIVAYA. As a Muslim I have no problem doing this because I know ALL IS ONE. ALLAH IS ONE. And he is everywhere and within us all. I know that not every Muslim is this way. But it works both ways people. If you want people to accept all religions and connect all religions. Then that MUST include Islam. This is critical because many people in this new age tradition are very accepting of all religions EXCEPT for Islam. And they may give many reasons for this but none are valid because they’ve mostly never studied the religion with any depth. Also it’s important to note that almost every religion accepts Jesus except for one major group. Now if some people cannot accept Jesus they certainly will not be ready to accept Guru Dev or Neem Karoli Baba or Sadhguru or anyone else for that matter. And yes I’m aware Muslims also have trouble accepting these people and other religions. But right now Muslims worldwide are facing extreme persecution and are being killed by the US and Israeli forces. This cannot be allowed to continue if Guru Devs mission is to be completed as planned. And we as Muslims will not accept this treatment and be called violent animals for our response. If you want us to accept you then you must accept us and treat us with dignity or respect . Or we will see a lot more Luigi’s and a lot more Ted Kazynskis and a lot more Hamas. And this is called karma. The cycle ends when those in power do the right thing and stop being greedy. I am not Guru Dev I am not going to sugar coat it for you. I’m from NY and I’ve been treated horribly and I used to be like Guru dev , but I promise you if he had to grow up in America and work for a living in terrible conditions , it would’ve taken a toll on him as well, maybe that’s why they never take births in America , however , the Path of Muhammad (SAW) is always open for anyone who’s willing to change things not just by sitting around and meditating but by force . Which is why we need many more Guru Devs , but we also need more Luigi’s . And we will get them by any means necessary . Let’s not forget SHIVA IS THE DESTROYER. OMM NAMAHH SHIVAYA ASSALAMU WALAIKUM SAT NAM NAMASTE IN JESUS NAME OMMM SHAMTII SHAMTI SHAAAAAMTI ❤️🙏❤️

It would be effortless to do in a rooftop but if done right, even your kids could share the room with you and feel silence. That’s hard to understand because our buildings right now do not have the slightest clue on sound vibrations. For me I’m Mayan who grew up in the last Mayan village in Belize where our temples still to this day create not just silence but peace on earth.

The name 'howie' denotes a good natured personality but one that gets involved with worry anxiety, tend to run away from your life issues rather than deal with them, are diplomatic and need people around you to 'tell you' that you desire to do good & be responsible. Inner peace eludes you so you go from person to person place to place or detract looking for answers. Religion is the essence you need but you avoid it like it was poisonous. Single minded pursuit of spiritual knowledge is your cure, but rarely some in this world seek it. Then find inner peace happiness contentment & become stable in heart & mind.
