[virajkelbaikar]

I have always been in a dilemma where I realise at certain points in times that I am not aware of my actions, and this puts me into introspection that even after all this sadhana and spiritual practices, my awareness seems to have not improved substantially. Through this video Gurudev has freed me from this dilemma.

[nehabharadwajan]

Gurudev, you make things so simple yet profound. Thank you Gurudev

[jg_prasad]

What a soulful music. Soaks us in bliss

[pixiedustdreams]

Right said. Mindfulness gets easier and natural with constant, uninterrupted meditation and spiritual practices. I have this experience since I started. After I do my sadhana, the entire day there is a subtle effortlessness that comes in vis-a-vis when I miss it.

[Amelia_PC]

I'm relieved after listening to this. I'm always aware, even in dreams, and it was becoming pretty exhausting. After listening to this, I'll let myself be unconscious some nights and forget I'm aware.

[vaishnavikanawade]

Do not force awareness - learnt in this video
Also Witnessed this live at the banglore ashram !! ☺️

Significance of Full moon !! Wonderful 🙏🏼

[seemapathak]

Pranam Gurudev. 🙏 You always talk elaborately on important issues and guide us. How our ancestors connected monthly full moons to some festivals, their About Raksha Bandhan- Shrawan Purnima... you reminded us that this is an age old tradition.. through out the country people celebrated this festival... religion is behind, goodwill in front seat... Hindu, Muslim, Christian all people come together to celebrate this festival.. it has this universal appeal. You rightly said Gurudev that any excuse to celebrate life is good. Today world scenario is gloomy one.. divisive forces impacting on human minds. These celebrations can definitely uplift the human spirit. These celebrations has there purpose, meaning and usefulness.... to our societal health. Our ancient traditions are so beautiful... our ancestors are wise ones. These festivals can unit people across caste, creed, religion, race etc.. Your wakeup call is so timely. We should wake up and cement the social fabric of the country. It's everyone's responsibility. Gurudev your practical tip about mindfulness is so helpful in our daily life. Feeling relaxed after hearing this tip.🙏❤🙏 No need to be focused, alert all the time .... on other hand being mindful all the time creat other problems .. like insomnia, neurological disorders etc. How you beautifully convince us regarding this that when there is need we automatically get into focused mode. It is in built- in our system.... and the warning regarding this is very important too... that intoxicants rob you of your this natural in-built quality..., intoxicants affect all three state of our consciousness.. waking dreaming and sleep... message is very clear....❤❤❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🌹🌹🌹🌹

[minatisahoo]

wow...keep meditating, mindfulness will dawn automatically

[AS-wyib]

Gurudev has such a witty way of answering some questions!

[kapilkoranne]

Simply explained the real meaning of being Mindful.

[umadevinbhat]

Gurudev, From childhood, I was under impression that, Raksha Bhandan is for brothers to protect the sisters and I didnt like the idea that a sister is weak and need brothers protection !! Thanks Gurudev, now I feel good and its other way round, Its sisters tie Rakhsha to safeguard and protect brothers from all the problems !! Ha ha...

[AdityaVDaga]

I always had this doubt about mindfulness vs meditation. Really so grateful i have learnt much deeper and beyond mindfulness. Complete blank

[rajip]

Thank you Guruji. Simplified way explained such a Great history!

[prateekjaiswal]

This is true that trying to be mindful we accumulate too much of stress. Meditation does help u make u aware & alert at the time needed.

[shambhavipatil]

Gosh!! This was so needed. Had all wrong concepts about mindfulness. This came as a saviour :-))

[Thenarayanaclips]

Accept my heart felt reverence at your lotus feet, Gurudev. Thanks a lot.
