Thank you Swamiji. With every satsang of yours we learn new things about ourselves and of the truth. Kindly bless all of us that we attain the highest truth, enlightenment, peace. Pray for your good health.

Love how you answer every question. Such sophisticated teachings handled with such deftness and clarity. 🙏🏻💕
Thank you Swamiji.

Very absorbing session with quite a few questions touching upon the sense of a doer/enjoyer/sufferer (20:40-36.28). Swamiji has touched upon this in earlier Q & A Satsangs too, most notably in the sessions on 17-12-23 and 28-4-24. Lord Krishna too has instructed on this matter in the Bhagavad Gita (3.27-29, 4.18, 5.8-9, 13.29, 14.19, 14.23). I feel it would be greatly beneficial to spiritual seekers if Swamiji could put out a video devoted exclusively to this topic. Thanks.

Pranam, Swami 🙏 Always a wonderful Q&A. I learn so much. 😊🙏

Swami T you talked about being detached from the body so when you have a problem like a broken arm you just get it fixed...end of story. For nearly 10 years I have been suffering from debilitating chronic illness. I am very restricted in what I can do and every day is a struggle none of the doctors have been able to help. I agree with what you say about detachment but it is very challenging.

In reference to question number 2:
You have uploaded a total of 522 videos on your channel. The average video length on your channel is around 50 minutes. This means that the total number of hours of content uploaded would be approximately 470 to 480 hours.

And we need more of them, all of them.

Namaskar, dear Swamiji 🙏🏻

Pronam Swamiji, One predominant reason behind conversion is perhaps the treatment and marginalization of lower castes in Hinduism. This led to coversion into Christianity, Islam and Buddhism. Even B R Ambedkar, the architect of Indian Constitution, converted to Buddhism at the end of his life !
Gratitude 🙏

[serpirior]

Pranam Swamiji. Can you bless me with the difference and similarity between Ishwara and Shiva of the Trimurthi, please?

Thanks
