Understanding Peace from the Lens of a Swami with Swami Chidananda

I’m excited to welcome Swami Chidananda to the show, our first-ever Swamiji guest. The topic of peace has been on my mind for many months now. Especially given the current state of affairs in the world. With so many lacking peace and suffering beyond what is comprehensible to many of us. I wanted to ask about peace as a practice. Not something that’s a concept. But how do we in our day to day lives remember that we are inherently peaceful beings and recognize this in others.

Swami is a highly regarded spiritual educator and a monk belonging to the venerable Vedic Hari Bhakta lineage, bearing the esteemed title of Swami. He used to be an investment banker who gave up everything to walk this path. His comprehensive studies encompass a profound exploration of the Yoga Sutras and the Bhagavad Gita.

I hope you find more peace after this conversation. More clarity and a way forward in your yoga practice. Swamiji gives us practical action steps too.

We delve into the profound concepts of detachment, action, karma, and dharma, and his discussions on these topics flow effortlessly, revealing a deep understanding and insight.

I am thrilled to share this conversation with you. I sincerely hope you discover more clarity, contentment, and peace at the end of our conversation.
