Serve, Smile, Surrender – Live Vedanta

We all feel we can create joy but that only leads to disappointment. When we have guidance in our lives we realize that joy cannot be created. How can one go from acting (karma), to depending (bhakti), to having insight (jnana), to prioritizing (viveka) to independence (vairagya)? How does one step lead to the next on this journey to joy?On this season of Live Vedanta, entitled Stairway to Serenity, we'll be exploring 100 words at the heart of our self-development. The more we understand these words, the more we can live by them. Want to catch up?

“I just needed you to know what a positive impact your podcast has made in my life. I’m a 20-year-old university student and although I’ve been exposed to Hinduism my whole life I’ve always questioned it and never understood so much.

Your discourses and teachings make it super relatable and digestible especially to a younger audience such as myself to really appreciate Hinduism for its simplicity and also how complex it is at the same time.”
