Swami Nirmalananda Giri answers a wide range of spiritual questions in the November 2025 Satsang.

These monthly Q&A sessions explore meditation, karma, reincarnation, the afterlife, authentic yoga practice, and the universal truths found in all great spiritual traditions.

This satsang includes reflections on the Ram Temple in Ayodhya, the nature of thought-forms, the practice of Soham sadhana, Jesus as a yogi, the destiny of animals, Vedanta, idolatry, and the deeper purpose of spiritual life.

Swamiji also speaks about discouragement on the path, synchronicity, and what it truly means to seek God beyond theology or dogma.
