Selected teachings from Chuang Tzu excerpted from 'The Complete Works of Chuang Tzu' - translated by Burton Watson. Chuang Tzu (Zhuangzi) c. 369–286 BCE was one of ancient China's greatest Daoist sages. Living during the turbulent Warring States period, he rejected worldly ambition and chose a life of simplicity, freedom and contemplation. His teachings are filled with brilliant paradoxes, humour and stories that challenge our deepest assumptions about reality, identity and the self.His timeless work, the Zhuangzi, points toward a life of effortless harmony with the Dao—and freedom from the limitations of the thinking mind. His teaching invites us to let go of fixed ideas, surrender our struggle with life, and awaken to the freedom of simply being.Music: Swami Madhuram (Time for Peace) - with thanks to Swami for his beautiful gifting of music for this channel.https://insighttimer.com/swamimadhuram

"Alles ist gerade so viel." "Ich bin erschöpft, aber ich schaffe es einfach nicht abzuschalten." "Wie soll ich bei all dem, was in der Welt passiert, noch zur Ruhe kommen?" Erkennst du dich darin wieder? Dann ist diese Folge für dich. Diese Folge ist eine Fokusfolge – das bedeutet, das Gespräch existiert bereits in voller Länge, wurde hier aber neu aufbereitet und auf die wertvollsten Erkenntnisse destilliert, damit du das Wesentliche kompakt und direkt mitnehmen kannst. In dieser Folge spreche ich mit Swami – Mönch und spiritueller Lehrer – über die eine Frage, die uns durch alle Zeiten begleitet: Wie finde ich das, was sich nicht verändert, wenn sich alles andere ständig wandelt? Unsere Vorlieben, unsere Beziehungen, unsere Definition von Erfolg. Alles ändert sich. Warum also erschrecken, wenn es sich ändert? Swami erzählt die Geschichte von Alexander dem Großen, der einen Yogi im Himalaya traf und was dieser ihn über eine Stärke lehrte, die weitaus mächtiger war, als die des Feldherrn: innere Stärke! Du wirst in dieser Folge verstehen: Es geht nicht darum, mehr zu wollen. Sondern darum, für einen Moment nichts zu wollen. +++ Mein neues Buch "Heute hör ich auf zu zweifeln": https://amzn.to/4veLpms Melde dich kostenfrei zum Newsletter an: https://sarahdesai.de/mindful-minute Meine Ausbildung und Kurse findest du hier: https://sarahdesai.de

Bṛhad-bhāgavatāmṛta Part 2 Chapter 4 Text 187 nārāyaṇād apy avatāra-bhāve saṁvyajyamānair madhurair mano-jñaiḥ tat-prema-bhaktyārdra-hṛd-eka-vedyair māhātmya-vargair vividhair viśiṣṭaḥ TRANSLATION And Kṛṣṇa is different from Nārāyaṇa, for when Kṛṣṇa appears in His descent in the material world He fully manifests the many unique glories that distinguish Kṛṣṇa alone — charming, attractive glories that can be known only to hearts softened by prema-bhakti.

Bṛhad-bhāgavatāmṛta Part 2 Chapter 4 Text 185 evaṁ bhagavatā tena śrī-kṛṣṇenāvatāriṇāna bhidyante 'vatārās te nityāḥ satyāś ca tādṛśāḥ TRANSLATION The incarnations of Śrī Kṛṣṇa, the original Personality of Godhead, are likewise not different from Him, their source. Just as He is eternal and real, so are they.

The evening session of the ongoing three-day Summer Course featured an insightful panel discussion on ‘Inner Awakening and Righteous Living - Dharma as the Compass for Daily Life'. Moderated by Prof Rani P L (Dean, Faculty of Humanities & Social Sciences and Languages & Literature, and Director, Anantapur Campus), the panel brought together Ms Sai Swaroopa Iyer (Program Lead, INDICA) Ms Sai Geetha M N (Senior Director, Software Engineering, Lowe's India) Dr Lathasree (Senior Medical Officer, Sri Sathya Sai General Hospital) and Ms Vidyulatha Narayan (Manager, Education Division, East Sussex County, UK.)Drawing upon Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai Baba's teachings, the speakers explained that Dharma is not merely a code of conduct but the very expression of one's innate divinity. They reiterated Swami's message that righteousness in the heart leads to peace in the world, while emphasising trikarana shuddhi—the unity of thought, word, and action—as the hallmark of a noble life. The panel elaborated on various dimensions of Dharma, including Swarupa Dharma, the realisation of one's true divine nature, and Deha Dharma, the responsibility of caring for the body and mind through pure food, conduct, thoughts, speech, and balanced living. Quoting examples from the Ramayana, Mahabharata, and Bhagawad Gita, the speakers explained that true Dharma lies in performing one's duties selflessly, with detachment, and offering every action to the Divine while upholding universal human values. Concluding the discussion, the panel affirmed that Dharma ultimately becomes the foundation for inner awakening, enabling one to listen to the voice of conscience, purify the mind, and manifest the divinity within. By making Dharma the natural way of life, they noted, humanity can move from individual transformation to universal harmony and lasting peace.

Let's know what you liked and learnt! AI is changing how customers discover brands - and making marketing attribution far more complex.In this episode of The Super CMO Show, Swami speaks with Scott Desgrosseilliers, Founder and CEO of @wickedreports about the rise of the AI dark funnel, the shift from SEO to GEO, and why marketers need to make their websites AI-ready.They explore how brands can earn visibility in AI-led conversations, use structured content and proprietary expertise, rethink first-touch attribution, and make better budget decisions when clicks no longer tell the full story.⭐ 5 Key Takeaways1. AI is creating a new “dark funnel.”More customer research is happening inside AI chats, making early discovery and first-touch attribution harder to see and measure.2. SEO is evolving into GEO.Brands need to make their websites AI-ready with clear structure, specific intent, FAQs, how-to content, and original research that AI systems can understand and reference.3. Proprietary expertise is the new visibility advantage.Generic content will not be enough. Brands that translate their distinctive knowledge, data, and point of view into AI-friendly formats can earn more meaningful recommendations.4. Marketers must look beyond platform-reported ROAS.Google, Meta, email, and SMS platforms can all claim credit for the same conversion. Independent, deterministic attribution helps reveal what actually drove new-customer growth.5. Brand and first-party data are becoming even more valuable.As AI puts more distance between brands and the customer click, building a trusted brand, capturing owned audiences, and continuously testing new signals will be critical to growth.⏱️ Timestamps00:00 Introduction01:56 AI Will Approximate or Guess Things04:11 Your Search Traffic Is Going Down08:59 AI Will Understand the Intent of the Page26:10 It's All About the Profitable Outcome35:44 All the Ad Platforms Are Grading Their Own Homework39:50 The Best Thing I've Seen Isn't Accurate Enough to Count On45:13 Keep Modifying Your Tags and Your Content47:10 The Importance of Building a Brand49:01 ChatGPT Already Has a Conversion API50:09 From Reports to AI-Powered Marketing DecisionsSelected Links and Show Notes⁠: https://www.contraminds.com⁠Subscribe to our Weekly Newsletter⁠: https://blog.contraminds.comSubscribe to ContraMindsSpotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4xceASphmwAjJONTlsvo2YApple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/contraminds-decoding-people-minds-strategy-and-culture/id1485202972Follow UsTwitter: https://twitter.com/contramindsInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/contraminds/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/contramindsFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/contraminds

In today's sanga, Śrīla Dhanurdhara Swami gives an overview of what has been cover in the Bṛhad-bhāgavatāmṛta thus far and also gives a preview of his Monday Morning Greetings article.

How do you hold onto a spiritual tradition after being deeply disappointed by the people who represent it? That's a question Swami Padmanabha — a Hindu monk, teacher and author of Evolution in Divine Love — has had to wrestle with more than once. Rather than walking away, those experiences led him into a deeper exploration of authority, uncertainty, love and the possibility that healthy traditions are those that continue to evolve.In this conversation, Tim and Swami explore what it means to stay rooted without becoming rigid, to question without becoming cynical, and to remain open to wisdom wherever it is found. Along the way they discover some surprising resonances between Hinduism and Christianity, and ask whether the future of religion might depend less on having all the answers and more on learning how to keep growing.After the interview, Tim is joined by Nick to reflect on what stayed with them most. From caring for God as though God were a child, to learning from other faith traditions without losing your own roots, they explore where Swami's vision resonated, where it challenged them, and the questions they're still left pondering.Interview starts at 12m 48sBooks, quotes, links →The creation of Nomad's thoughtful, ad-free content is entirely funded by our equally thoughtful and wonderful listeners.

Moral Regeneration | S.B. Keshava Swami at @ujyoutube | May 2024 by Wisdom That Breathes by Keshava Maharaja

In this episode, Swami Revatikaanta explores the struggle between immediate gratification (Preyas) and truly doing what is good and beneficial in our lives (Śreyas). From birth, society conditions us to seek pleasure at every moment. However, this relentless pursuit of convenience, prestige, and pleasure often comes at a severe cost to our personal growth, inner peace, and true Divine connection.Drawing from the Katha Upanishad, Søren Kierkegaard and St. Augustine, Swami unpacks how we can change our ways, moving from pleasure-seeking to dharmic living and eventually pure love.Connect with the Community:

Look at Not Hira But The HeroMr Indreshwar Singh Sirohi is perhaps best known as the grandson of the Rajamata of Nawanagar, one of the foremost royal devotees who played a pivotal role in the mission of the Sri Sathya Sai Avatar. She was, in fact, among the founding members of the Sri Sathya Sai Central Trust when Bhagawan established it in 1972.Born into the erstwhile princely families of Jamnagar and Sirohi in Gujarat, Mr Indreshwar Singh Sirohi never imagined that he would one day study at Swami's college and live in the hostel alongside students from every walk of life. When that became a reality, he initially struggled to accept it. But before long, he realised that this was one of the greatest blessings Bhagawan had bestowed upon him.In fact the years he spent in the hostel during the 1980s and his close interactions with Bhagawan became the bedrock of his life, shaping his character and outlook forever. In this Satsang from our archives, Mr Indreshwar, affectionately known as Gopal, takes us down memory lane, sharing a few cherished incidents and timeless teachings from Bhagawan that continue to illuminate and guide his life even today.

Bṛhad-bhāgavatāmṛta Part 2 Chapter 4 Text 165 durvitarkyā hi sā śaktir adbhutā pārameśvarī kintv asyaikānta-bhakteṣu gūḍhaṁ kiñcin na tiṣṭhati TRANSLATION Inconceivable indeed is the amazing energy of the supreme controller, but nothing can be hidden from His unalloyed devotees.

Bṛhad-bhāgavatāmṛta Part 2 Chapter 4 Text 148 pūrva-vad bhajanānandaṁ prāpnuvanti navaṁ navam sarvadāpy aparicchinnaṁ vaikuṇṭhe 'tra viśeṣataḥ TRANSLATION The same kind of ecstasy these devotees previously enjoyed in worshiping the Lord they continue to relish here in Vaikuṇṭha. They obtain it as a unique, uninterrupted, unceasing bliss, newer and newer at every moment.

People often ask Swami a very specific question: "What kind of God do you believe in?" But in truth, they aren't just asking for a name. They are asking about the fundamental nature of the "type" of God he believes in.Today, modern seekers are often forced into a frustrating dilemma. As the famed historian Yuval Noah Harari points out, society seems to present us with only two options: the "Mystery God" (a vague, unknowable cosmic energy that asks nothing of us) or the "Lawgiver God" (a petty cosmic dictator obsessed with micromanaging our daily lives and punishing our mistakes).It is completely understandable why so many people — including Harari himself — run away from the Lawgiver God. When religion is used to control or oppress, rejecting it is a profound survival mechanism. Hence the rise of the "spiritual but not religious" movement.But is this a false choice? In our justified rush to escape this "Cosmic Dictator", have we accidentally over-corrected into a state of personal comfort and complacency masquerading as spirituality and "seeking"?In this video, Swami deconstructs this potential ego trap. We explore the lost etymology of the word "religion" and its connection to yoga, and we look at how the Bhagavad Gita offers a solution to Harari's false binary. It presents God not as a giver of absolute laws backed by the threat of eternal damnation, but rather as an offerer of a user manual for our consciousness, backed by the endless patience , mercy and love that we all intuitively associate with the true figure of God.Connect with the Community:

Are You a Devotee of Sri Sathya Sai Baba? Mr Chandramohan Sitaraman is the Director and Group President – Corporate Affairs at TAFE (Tractors and Farm Equipment Limited), Chennai. A seasoned corporate leader with over three decades of experience, he joined TAFE in 1999 and played a pivotal role in the company's landmark acquisitions, including the Eicher tractor, engine, and gears businesses. He has also served as Chairman of CII Tamil Nadu and Vice Chairman of the CII Chennai Zone. A humble and devoted follower of Bhagawan, his association with Swami dates back to the 1990s. When Bhagawan visited the TAFE office in Madurai in 2009, He asked Mr Chandramohan just one simple question. Though the interaction lasted only a few moments, it became a life-defining turning point. What was Bhagawan's question, and how did it transform the course of his life? This Satsang will inspire us to reflect on the true purpose of our lives and how to make the very most of every day that remains of our lives.

Sai, the Elixir That Sustains My LifeMr R Kondala Rao is a distinguished civil engineer and administrative luminary who has rendered yeoman service in transforming rural infrastructure across the undivided state of Andhra Pradesh. Renowned for his integrity and technical excellence, he rose through the ranks to become the Engineer-in-Chief of the Panchayat Raj and Rural Water Supply Departments. Even after his retirement in 1995, the Government of Andhra Pradesh appointed him as its Technical Advisor, a responsibility he has discharged with distinction for over three decades.Beyond his illustrious governmental career, Mr Kondala Rao has been Bhagawan's chosen engineer to lead the planning and execution of the Sri Sathya Sai Central Trust's monumental drinking water projects since 1995, bringing safe drinking water to millions. In this Satsang, he shares how Swami, the Divine Manager, guided these mammoth humanitarian initiatives with meticulous care, while at the same time showering him with the boundless love of a Divine Mother and Father - a love whose memories continue to inspire and energise him to serve His mission tirelessly even at the age of ninety.

In Part 3 of her Satsang, Prof. Madhu Kapani recalls very telling and insightful interactions with Bhagawan in the early years of the B. Ed Program, in the 1970s, wherein Swami personally instructed her how to integrate human values into her teaching methodology and also how to make it a part of the life and character of every student of His university. Later on, she also goes on to recount moving anecdotes of how Swami assured her parents that she was His responsibility and the multiple instances of how the sweet Lord continues to protect her and steer her through every challenge, small and big, of her life. Prof. Madhu Kapani is the former Director of Anantapur Campus of the Sri Sathya Sai Institute of Higher Learning and former Dean of its Faculty of Economics and Humanities. A distinguished educationist, she was awarded a Gold Medal for her PhD by Bhagawan in November 1990. Over the decades, she has served on several prestigious academic and advisory bodies at both the Institute and national levels. She was nominated by the Ministry of Human Resource Development, New Delhi, as a member of the Teacher Education Resource Group to evaluate centrally sponsored schemes for teacher education institutions across India. Prof Kapani is the author of ‘Education in Human Values: Concept and Practical Implications', a work that reflects her lifelong commitment to value-based education.

Nitrous Oxide (N2O) is a colorless, odorless inhaled anesthetic that has been used for centuries, particularly in the surgical world. Mechanistically, it can induce euphoria, anxiolysis, and intoxication via NMDA receptor antagonism.During the late twentieth century, nitrous oxide was increasingly used recreationally due its accessibility and perceived benign nature.The modern day slang term for nitrous oxide is “whippets” – which tends to refer to the canisters that contain this agent and are frequently used as whipped cream foaming agents.Despite the legal nature and benign perception of nitrous, frequent use can lead to lasting and permanent neurologic effects. 🧠 How Nitrous Oxide Causes Toxicity Nitrous oxide toxicity results from its ability to oxidize the cobalt moiety in Vitamin-B12, thus leading to a functional B12 deficiency, despite adequate consumption and absorption.1Functioning B12 is needed as a cofactor for methionine synthase.2 This enzyme has two critical roles:The conversion of 5-methyl tetrahydrofolate to tetrahydrofolate; tetrahydrofolate is essential for the synthesis of our DNA.And the conversion of homocysteine to methionine; methionine is needed to maintain the integrity of the myelin sheath of our axons.As a result, nitrous toxicity leads to: a megaloblastic anemia and demyelination of both the dorsal columns and the lateral corticospinal tracts (also known as subacute combined degeneration). 🚶‍️ Clinical Manifestations of Nitrous Oxide Toxicity These patients will have a combination of both upper and lower motor neuron symptoms due to demyelination of the dorsal columns, lateral corticospinal tracts, and peripheral nerves. As a result, the following may manifest:Dorsal Columns: diminished sense of proprioception, vibration, and fine touch.Lateral Corticospinal Tracts: upgoing plantars, hyperreflexia, weakness of voluntary distal muscle controlPeripheral Nerves: numbness/tingling and weakness in a glove and stocking pattern (symptoms that start initially in the feet and hands that progressively spread proximally to the ankles and wrists)Taking all of this into account, patients may present with difficulty ambulating, positive Romberg sign, dysmetria (difficulty with finger to nose or heel to shin), upgoing Babinski reflex, and decreased strength and sensation in a glove and stocking pattern. 🔍 How to Diagnose Nitrous Oxide Neurotoxicity History is key! As with a lot of pathologies in toxicology, identifying the exposure will expedite management.A thorough neurologic exam will narrow the differential – with a particular focus to fine, peripheral motor and sensory deficits, dysmetria, proprioception, and ability to ambulate.Magnetic resonance imaging of the spine may identify enhancement and/or edema of the dorsal columns, specifically on T2 weight axial imaging – sometimes referred to as the “inverted V” or “inverted rabbit ears appearance.”3Serum B12 concentrations may be normal as the issue is with a functional deficiency as opposed to a vitamin absence. However, patients have elevated concentrations of both homocysteine and methylmalonic acid, both of which are metabolized in the presence of functional B12. 💉 Management of Nitrous Oxide Toxicity First and foremost, cessation of nitrous oxide abuse is crucial to limit/prevent toxicity.While there is no universally agreed upon treatment regimen, supplementation with intramuscular B12 is recommended.Approaches vary from daily or every other day injections until symptoms improve at which point injections can be spaced out to weekly and then monthly.Physical and occupational therapy may be needed depending on the degree of functional debility.It is important to note, that depending of the severity and chronicity of toxicity, some proportion of patients may not fully return to their baseline. 📌 Take-Home Points Though legal and seemingly benign, nitrous oxide abuse can lead to permanent neurologic dysfunction.Nitrous oxide toxicity can affect the dorsal columns, lateral corticospinal tracts, and peripheral nerves.Thus leading to a constellation of both upper and lower motor neuron deficits, particular in a glove and stocking pattern: deficits in proprioception and fine motor skills, positive Romberg, upgoing Babinski, peripheral numbness, tingling, and weakness.Magnetic resonance imaging may identify symmetric high signal intensity in the dorsal columns.Treatment includes B12 supplementation and physical/occupational therapy as needed. 📚 References Long H.

Join your Chameleon host Josh Dean and his partner in (dumb) crime, comedian Rory Scovel, as they dive into the incredible story of a shady Swami who scammed Newark, New Jersey into adopting the Hindu city of Kailasa as a “sister city.” The problem: Kailasa doesn't exist. And the swami behind it? A notorious scammer who's on the run from various charges, some of them very serious. “Very embarrassing for the city,” one Newark resident told CBS. “Truly no words,” said another. Crimeless is a production of Campside Media, Smartless Media, and Big Money Players. Every week, Josh and Rory unpack some of the world's wackiest crimes, injecting a little humor into these dark times. New episodes air every Wednesday.
