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.

In this absolutely mind-blowing lecture, Swamiji shares so many critical gems. Some take-aways are: (1) The goal of Maya is to trouble the souls until they completely detach from the material world and attain God-realization; (2) Maya is God’s energy, thus it can never be conquered without the grace of God; (3) While there are many pathways to God-realization, none is beneficial in the long run unless bhakti or devotion is infused in it. Without Bhakti, every action or ritual is just a physical drill. Wow, thank you, Swamiji.

Good effort to make points thanks

[@ks4912]

Very well summarized. I would add Upwas, purpose is to come close to God. So if your mind wanders in material things or food items when you’re fasting, you are defeating the purpose of fasting. Same way as you go to pilgrimage and your mind engages in worldly matters, it is better to be at a place where you can constantly stay engaged with God. Thank you and Jay Shree Krushna 🙏

So many Sanskrit Shlokas- delivered with such rapidity, effortless ease, without the use of memory- is the Divine flowing through him. Its humanly not possible to remember all the shlokas of all the 1000s of Upanishads, Puranas, Ramayan and Bhagwad Geeta. It is Goddess Saraswati residing in his tongue. God realised saint- its apparent.

Revered Swamiji , thanks for your excellent sermon 🙌 and guidance . Blessings to you 🙏 . But , my anxiety goes this way ... ... would the divine and holy celestial dharma of secrecy [ veil of confidence ] be a deterrent to the affairs of the mundane Timelines of the human interests and governments ? Human life is still uncivilized in numerous contexts . Humanity succumbs to the dictates of a fallen mindset 👏

[@timothyodering6299]

Purpose of fasting is to reminder ourselves that this body runs on prana, not food. If it ran on food it should wind down like a clockwork toy when food stops, like a car that runs out of fuel. But it doesn't. In New Zealand, a Christian group has the '40 hour famine' to raise money for its charity. Very nice. But mothers say 'Oh no! My child will die or become VERY unwell if he is forcing his little body to go without food for 40 hours! How sad😢. The mother does not understand. I paraphrase Jesus' the human body does not live by bread (food oxygen water) ALONE, but by the divine prana, that makes that corps into a living human. It enters through the chakras, divine centers in the spiritual spine, principly one called the 'mouth of god'. No food can help once this life force leaves this body. Physical death immediately comes on. I want to say how wonderful this Swami's teachings are. Little details aside. Bakti, the devoted heart is so important. To receive the blessing of a saint is so precious and could be a life treasure. To walk back with only business in ones head, so wasteful of the saints efforts. Great talk.

Aatmiya Swamiji Radhe Radhe Govinda Govinda Radhe Radhe HARE KRSNA MAYA is the culprit of Pain. However, influence of MAYA can be reduced and resulting benefits, happiness/joy/satisfaction can be experienced by Devotional BHAKTI and doing without any Expectations, WORK. Examples in this Satasang are very Appealing. Very respectfully Loving ❤️ ING You One and All Now and HERE in this Light and Moment Experiencing HAPPINESS 😊🙏

[@sunildutt7759]

Jai Sri Radhey swami ji. I'm actually perplexed that if we live in the material world ,we may definitely be affected and enticed by the charm of the materialistic things around us, but in one side we have to get something in our life in order to fulfill our needs. So how can we escape from the effect of Maya.

A precision approch to the soul of spirituality is what we listen form Swamiji.It gives us a crystal clear concept as to how one must behave in today's scenario,not just to be called pious but to become and be pious.Salutations!!! आध्यात्मिकता की आत्मा के लिए एक सटीक दृष्टिकोण वह है जिसे हम स्वामीजी से सुनते हैं। यह हमें एक स्पष्ट अवधारणा देता है कि आज के परिदृश्य में कैसे व्यवहार करना चाहिए, न केवल पवित्र कहलाने के लिए बल्कि पवित्र बनने के लिए। स्वामी जी के चरण कमलों को नमस्कार!!!
