If you really got inspired from Gauranga pr then please read Bhagavad Gita as it is.

[@PARTHPATEL-vk4cs]

Only Hinduism can teach you on real spirituality . you know real value of human being which is extraordinary.

[@GoldChocobo77]

What a beautiful student-teacher relationship :) this monk really cared about you Jay that he noticed all those changes in you.

[@Dee-sr4lt]

I had always wondered, who was Jay's mentor and finally we get to know. And I really liked his point on the dynamics of family, I'm from India and here we value family and we don't move out of our parent's house after a certain age, infact a majority if not all have this close knit family system and yea it comes with it's own challenges and sometimes they drive you crazy but, it also makes us more tolerant and selfless, I have noticed this on a personal level. When I was living in the city by my own I had become quite self absorbed, less tolerant, which has changed quite a lot after moving back home . The little arguments and annoyances that comes along with living with your family actually brings us closer, we are more open to discuss issues specially the uncomfortable ones and of course the family gatherings and celebrations.

[@recardothompson3701]

Jay shatty I’ve been watching you for years now, and I want to personally thank you for inspiring me. Because of your dedication and constant motivation I taught myself how to create and edit and now I have my own KZbin channel with amazing content seeking to uplift other like the way you uplifted me. Thanks 🙏🏻 Jay. Keep inspiring us man❤️

38:27 The way Prabhu Ji projects ‘the feeling of Love’ is exactly what my soul perceived. Thank you for opening your treasure to us and letting us taste ‘the supreme pain'. Tolerance, Acceptance and Perseverance : 3 words to depict ‘Love’. Love. Don't ever bereave anyone. Love them for whatever good they have. It takes a lot to accept anyone into your consciousness. Grow and live together and Hare Krsna❤️.

[@lakshyasharma8755]

It's my dream come true seeing Jay Shetty & Gauranga Das together!! For a moment, just couldn't believe my eyes. Simply blown from this wisdom talk between them. :)

[@snoopypryer]

In all humility, Gauranga Das is radiating with so much spirituality and wisdom. Very soothing and reassuring to hear him. Just one question - in Bhagwad Gita, if it is advised to keep in check the urge to convince, yet, Gaurang Das is commending Jay on his steely determination and not taking ‘NO’ for an answer and going all out to convince others. How do you reconcile this?

[@sidhantsharma9961]

Depends on what one is convincing the other for, is it for his selfish desires or the good of the other person? If the convincing comes from selfless means then its not really convincing, its love.

[@Mukti-Nirvanaa]

I love Gauranga prabhu very very much...so much of Respect for him..

[@nishanbhattarai007]

Finally many people got to know who the person was about whom Jay keeps saying " he captivated me like no one else did". Here he is, sitting next to Jay, the Monk, many of us were curious to know about. Agree?

[@lakshyasharma8755]

Yes, I was just too excited to know who was that! Now, I am hearing from both of them together.

[@lilithlight3570]

I heard it Jay. Heard it so loud and clear. And now I know what to do, with all that love I have inside me. And how to be able to give, without causing myself pain, without causing others pain. Because, so many times tried to give to people, who don't want to receive. And didn't know how to stop. And tried and tried, over and over again, just because I can see tha pain inside them. Man, it hurts like hell... Now will give only with my heart. Will given, what they want and what they need. And gonna say No, to those who want to satisfy their ego, not their heart. And you know what Jay? I will burn my ego that way. Because the biggest need of my ego is people to need me. Sending you all my love, gratitude and blessings.

Deepest thanks to Gauranga Das and Jay Shetty for this episode. It strikes straight to the core. Contentwise this is one of the deepest On Purpose Episodes to me (I am a follower on SoundCloud from the very beginning). Offers me another ton of reasons to keep doing the work.

[@buddhichaudhary609]

One of the funny things is that the world practices meditation as a course, in fact, it is not ten, twenty, and thirty-days things. It is every day and whole life things. The Buddha practiced 100 and 1000 eons to be the Buddha while we practice it to complete the course which is incorrect. Practice the meditation as a way of life without any expectation - even peace and calmness. It will help and you will see the results in front of your two eyes.
