VLOG 01 - COPENHAGEN | Life of a Modern Monk

#TheDutchMonk #SwamiPurnachaitanya #Monk #Swami
Welcome to the first episode of my VLOG "Life of a Modern Monk". I am often asked what my life is like, what I do during the day and during my travels, and how it is to be living like a monk in this modern world. In this VLOG I give a glimpse of my life... come find out! In this episode I take you along during my one week visit to Denmark. Do let me know which part you liked the most in the comments, and do like the video and share it!
My name is Swami Purnachaitanya and I was born in the Netherlands. I am a disciple of Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar. For the last 15 years I have been traveling to conduct various programs, initiate and support social service initiatives, and share the knowledge of yoga, meditation, mantras and other aspects of Vedic wisdom. To know more about my story, visit my website!
I have also written a book last year, titled "Looking Inward" - a practical guide to understanding how your mind works, how to get clarity, regain your inner peace and confidence, and effectively deal with anxiety, stress and other mental and emotional obstacles. It also teaches you more about meditation, how it differs from mindfulness, and includes many practical do's and don'ts, exercises and insights that are both useful for someone who is new to meditation, as well as for experienced practitioners. The book has already been translated in many languages and is available across the world.
You can find more details about the book and the various language editions here: www.swamipurnachaitanya.com/b...

Great Idea Swamiji. AMAZINGLY BEAUTIFUL VLOG Waiting for next one in Germany

[@mariaquercia8573]

Congratulations Swamiji for all the initiatives! The center where you are meeting for Satsang it's beautiful . Also the team looks wonderful!!! Love the nature: birds, ocean, lake, meadow.... as you said, seems to be a very, very peaceful place. Thanks for sharing your knowledge. I'll keep this in mind: "we're not our thoughts". Also, I have experience, that we can be very creative and transform our anger into compassion. This only happens when we are inmerse in Satsang, Seva, Sadhana! I'm feeling very grateful to be able to see the service your are doing! Take care and keep sharing!!!! Lots of love from Argentina!

[@mybmforever]

Pranaam Swamiji.It was wonderful to see this vlog- So happy for those who are getting this opportunity.Many times I wonder and am inclined to think that it is not for everyone to really get down and wipe the muck and grime of the world from the flower that is covered in it.I believe the Divine chooses a few such caring and wonderful souls like you for that.Wish there will come a time for all of us to be like the lotus that grows everywhere but never tainted.Nevertheless sending you Pranaam from my heart.Looking forward to your vlogs!Jgd!

[@rhinoceros190]

Loads of appreciation for this initiative and approach of yours. People must get a glimpse of this amazing view of monkhood. I would love to see more of your journey & experiences. Also Swamiji, I would love to watch you more doing pujas. Just the aura you exude especially when you sit for pujas (if not always) is something my heart skips a beat to. The mantras and the way you pronounce them so perfectly is something I can never be done with 🙏🏻😇❤️ Love, blessings & peace✌🏻

[@nalinidela376]

What' an inspiration you are Swamiji. Truly blessed 🙌🏻 😇 🙏

Really interesting to see your vlog. Specially the points you explained at the last, when you experience Yoga within, you become witness to your thoughts i.e., you are not your thoughts & hence you can take proper decision that time. Keep inspiring Swami ji & best wishes for forward journey. 🙂🙏
