Thinking Bhakti

In this episode, Vrishaparva, a member of the Knowledge Department in Bhakti Marga, has been serving alongside Swami Revatikaanta for the past few years. In this podcast, we discuss the importance and place of knowledge on the spiritual path. Is knowledge to be used as a weapon to divide, or can it be used to enhance our bhakti and appreciate the path more? We also discuss some basic ideas of Vedanta philosophy and how the Hari-bhakta-sampradaya siddhanta is a modern response to these questions.

Life is not boring and is always in movement. Meet Rameshwardas, an entrepreneur and family man who has achieved considerable success in the business world and explored spiritual life from various angles to find deeper meaning. Having experienced darkness in a cave for several days, which shaped his understanding of reality, he delved into shamanism before finally finding his satguru, who marked the culmination of his spiritual search and became initiated into a vaishnava sampradaya.

His fast-paced life accelerated even more when, after a short period, he became one of the directors of Bhakti Marga, now managing to integrate three different aspects of life. Listen to his story in this podcast and allow yourself to be inspired. Like him, we can embrace family life, business, and at the same time be a student of an enlightened spiritual Master like Paramahamsa Vishwananda.
