ABOUT THE TEXT

A profound question from a street sweeper inspires Adi Shankaracharya to reveal our True Nature. A very noble ideal but is it practical? If so how can it be put into practice? In 5 aphorisms (5 stanza’s, 5 aphoristic stanza’s) hear the master Pujya Swami Swaroopananda-ji expound on exactly how Adi Shankaraacharya's solves the problem of rising division in society and how simple yet profound ideals and values get lost in the noise of false values and hypocrisies. 

Some of the practical takeaways from these sessions:

  • How to handle criticism 
  • ⁠How to challenge hypocrisy with humility and politely 
  • ⁠⁠How to break free from the shackles of habits which constrain us and acquire the freedom we all crave and seek.
  • ⁠⁠How do we discover our true Nature and stay in that constant awareness and calmness through life. 

Join us for a 3-day spiritual retreat with your family. Separate, tailored programs will run for toddlers, children, teenagers and adults by Swamins and Brahmacharini.
