Episode 35’s guest is Swami Purnachaitanya, Director of Programs for the Art of Living, senior teacher trainer with the Sri Sri School of Yoga, spiritual guide and award winning author.
Born and brought up in the Netherlands, Swami Purnachaitanya from a young age had a keen interest in the spiritual practices, cultures and philosophies of the East. After practicing various Eastern martial arts for years, he met his spiritual Master, Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar, and started his journey to explore the traditions of yoga, meditation, mantras and ancient wisdom.
Swami dedicates his life to the purity of knowledge, practice and experience, sharing his Master’s wisdom through the programs of The Art of Living, conducting trainings and overseeing various service projects in India and Africa. He is involved in a vast array of programs, including rural development, prisoner rehabilitation and educational initiatives.
In this episode we talk about Swamiji’s journey to becoming a Vedic Monk, the inspirational relationship he has with Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar, his new book Looking Inward, the difference between mindfulness and meditation, deepening your meditation practice to manage your mind, why we spend so much time focussing outward rather than inward, and how to change from a life of pursuing happiness to becoming an expression of happiness.
