Chandresh B. presents The Leela Show

The intention of this episode is to initiate a conversation where we can understand the significance of taking care of our mental health. How do we use mindfulness, meditation, and spiritual practices to enhance the quality of our well being? Chandresh shares his own journey with mental health and how meditation and spirituality have given him strength when feeling weak. He shares from the viewpoint of social media, personal relationships, and career. When we start to give too much meaning to these things, we hurt our mental health because when something goes wrong in one of these areas, we start to lose meaning in our life. We hope this episode helps you better understand mental health, how to take care of your mental state, and offers tools to build strength when the awareness is challenged.

It has become so difficult for us to experience self realization and peace without looking for the answers outside of us. It is very easy for the mind to constantly blame and look for the answers externally, but the truth is the solution lives within us. In this episode, Chandresh talks about the spiritual interpretation of the Black Lives Matter Movement, including the problem with selective compassion- when we are not able to perceive humans through the lens of awareness, but instead through division and different belief systems. He also discusses the relationship between collective karma and individual actions, and concerns with protests as they relate to the WallStreet and Me Too Movements. Instead of reacting with anger, it's important to cultivate and work on finding solutions. With the help of two mantras, we hope this episode helps all seekers cultivate a deeper meaning to the protests, and a stronger connection to the path of self realization.

The two mantras from this episode include:

Bhagwad Gita:

yada yada hi dharmasya

glanir bhavati bharata

abhyutthanam adharmasya

tadatmanam srjamy aham

vasudhaiva kutumbakam which means the world is one family.

In this episode Chandresh shares his childhood experiences in recognizing the privilege he grew up with in the Brahmin Caste in India. Through these experiences, he learned to channel his privilege to bring empowerment and strength to those around him through unlearning and rewiring a lot of the belief systems around him. After moving from India to the US, he started seeing a different caste system heavily influenced by race. In this episode, he discusses how racism is deeply rooted in our minds and why change has to happen from a deeper fundamental level to make permanent change. He also discusses how to rebel with awareness by choosing your own path, and by stepping away from shaming others if their path looks different from your own. Rebellion is not a one dimensional lane, and we hope this episode guides you to find deep everlasting change along your rebellion journey.

Answering questions like, "Was Osho a wise and sage teacher?" and "Why is transcendental meditation not the highest expression of Maharishi Mahesh Yogi?" We will also take a dive into how to find the right guru, be the right student, and what can go wrong between a guru and student relationship. This is a longer episode filled with many ups and downs.

We all are looking for freedom, but when we are stuck in the limited dimensions of the mind, we look for freedom from things. Often the material- all the things that are bothering us in a moment. We never look for the bigger freedom, which is the freedom to rather than the freedom from. In freedom to, the seeker seeks the freedom to simply be, to bloom, live our truth unapologetically, and exist fearlessly. In this meditation, we use the mantra aham brahma which means "I am the infinite awareness," or "I am the extension of the universe and the universe is the extension of me." This mantra instantly brings us to that ultimate freedom. The hope is that this meditation will allow you to experience that infinite freedom. The mantra can be used with this meditation, along with many other sacred meditations to heal and awaken your highest potential.

Rituals are a powerful way to connect with your higher self. A ritual, done rightly, becomes a sacred bridge between you and the cosmic consciousness. Rituals are sacred. They bring meaning and belongingness in our path. In this episode, Chandresh shares his insight on what do we need the rituals, and how they could save your sanity in this time of anxiety.
