In this episode of Windows into Wisdom, we sit down with Pujya Bhaktivardhandas Swami to explore a powerful spiritual question: are we truly the identities we have built around ourselves?  We often define ourselves by our career, roles, relationships, achievements, personality, opinions, or even our struggles. But these identities shift. They evolve. Sometimes they disappear. If our profession changes… If our relationships change… If our status or abilities change… Who are we then? Through the lens of Hindu philosophy and practical spiritual reflection, this conversation invites us to look beyond constructed identities and begin the deeper journey of self-discovery. If you have ever questioned your purpose in life, struggled with comparison, or felt limited by the labels placed on you - this episode offers a meaningful starting point. This is Part 1 of a two-part series exploring the difference between temporary identity and the true self.OTHER PLATFORMS: INSTAGRAM <a href='https://www.instagram.com/baps_betterliving'>https://www.instagram.com/baps_betterliving</a>YOUTUBE <a href='https://youtube.com/bapsbetterliving'>https://youtube.com/bapsbetterliving</a> LINKEDIN <a href='https://www.linkedin.com/company/bapsswaminarayansanstha/ '>https://www.linkedin.com/company/bapsswaminarayansanstha/ </a>

"Facing the COVID-19 pandemic crisis" by Brahmavihari Swami

We begin with a prayer. The most common form of Hindu prayer is the aarti, a daily ceremony of waving of lamps before an image of God, accompanied with a devotional song in praise of the deity. OTHER PLATFORMS: INSTAGRAM <a href='https://www.instagram.com/baps_betterliving'>https://www.instagram.com/baps_betterliving</a>YOUTUBE <a href='https://youtube.com/bapsbetterliving'>https://youtube.com/bapsbetterliving</a> LINKEDIN <a href='https://www.linkedin.com/company/bapsswaminarayansanstha/ '>https://www.linkedin.com/company/bapsswaminarayansanstha/ </a>
