'This SECRET Was Kept By Monks' - How To Achieve SELF MASTERY | Gauranga Das & Jay Shetty

For Jay Shetty, finding his mentor at the age of eighteen brought him to a monkhood journey that inspired him to change his life trajectory.

If you are searching for wisdom on how to navigate the choices you are facing in life, this episode will deliver. Shetty and his mentor Gauranga Das discuss how to elevate your consciousness to explore the urges you have. You don’t have to live like a monk to think like one. Freedom awaits you!

Wow. My uncle sent me this link. We know him as Anand. He is my moms cousin! We have lived through his transition, and we remember when he decided to join Hari Krishna and now is Gauranga Das. We never understood it at the time, but he has done tremendously well and has helped so many people. We are very proud of him. He visited us in Novi Michigan maybe 16 years ago? God bless you! Great interview. We learned something new in this interview

[priyankasinha]

We need more people like Jay Shetty... The world actually need more healers, story tellers and lovers of all kinds rather than successful people

I like that" Self control is the greatest freedom". Plant kindness and gather love is the best way to live.

[daljotsinghkang]

Principles Of Gita
1) Control the urge to get provoked (We are constantly being provoked in our life)
2) Control the urge to control the situation.(Many things in life are beyond our control)
3) Control the Urge to convince others. Control the urge to convince people to agree with your opinion or narrative.
4) Control the urge to compete. Many people are better than you at different levels. Your aim should be to add value to other life to the best of your ability.

The secret to life, do everything with enthusiasm and serve but dont be looking for the outcome. This interview was so beautiful and practical, Jay, keep recommending the reading of the B Gita.

I live in Australia born New Zealand
I love the way monks they are so humble & caring
If everyone thought like them we would live in a better world

[Sophia]

I love the way he looks at Jay. Almost like as if he saw him for the first time, even though he probably knows him for decades

[suneeta]

Cant resist to comment..his analogy has just sparked a new perspective..that's called awakened soul in true sense

[hicksa]

I never knew people thought that way about Monks, even growing up in the Hood, I always thought of Monks as almost super human, humble souls, that had knowledge of the universe and amazing control over themselves and their minds.

[nishavasaikar]

To tolerate a provoking situation is indeed a Virtue to develop. Thank you for bringing up this awareness.

What a great podcast! First time of listening to Gauranga Das, his explanation of the 4 principals at 16:46 hit me deep. This will transform my life. Thank you Annoth

[smitabiswal]

So clearly explained Prabhuji 🙏
Love is all of selfless pleasing and tireless servicing .Freedom comes with discipline and detachment, being many Sradha and Pranam Prabhuji🙏

[RashmiPriyaWinner]

Gauranga Das episodes are always great. So much learning and wisdom from a humble man. Thanks Jay for this beautiful conversation 🌺❤⭐

[vedikakulkarni]

Both of my mentors together🙏Thank you so much for this podcast🙏

[SebastianStoye]

This is so beautiful Prabhuji. I was mocking your book think like a monk when I first saw it, I was living in the ashram in soho london, and my brahmin friend actualy showed it too me xD. Now 1 year later, I left the temple, I am in a way fighting for my own now, and I regret the mockery made before. I feel realy sheltered by your podcast Jay Prabhu, and inspired to keep going. I stayed as a monk 3 years, and I an also very sensitive but have so much desire to be a better person and connect people to this wisdom, only I'm not in a good situation right now. So I take so much guidance listening to you, thank you very much.
Hare Krsna ❤

The word ‘religion’ is wildly different in its meaning between the East and the West. In the west, it is ‘prescriptive’ and following a book, its rules and they use many tactics to convert every person on earth to their religion (because their god is the only valid god, you don’t convert-you are going to hell). Eastern religions (actually philosophies) are ‘exploratory’ and deeply open ended and philosophical and do not force their ‘whatever’ on others. Because the basic philosophy is ‘there are several paths to the truth, yours is valid, mine is valid’. Christian missionaries, for example, spend billions every year just in India itself on religious conversion tactics. I saw this and experienced it personally.

[shubhambhardwaj]

Great wisdom from two monks. I liked the perception of freedom by discipline, it's really a life changer for me.

[christinehofilena]

I love them both!!! Watch until the end, Jay is such an adorable person

[manalireddy]

Gauranga das Prabhu is brilliant. Best podcast ever. Clarity of wisdom that declutters our mind, helps us realise our true potential and act with love and compassion.
This should be our primary education. Thank you 🙏.
