Vishwananda's Podcast

During the Easter 2012 celebrations, Sri Swami Vishwananda gave four very special sermons, each more touching than the other, penetrating the depths of our being.

In the current podcast episode we would like to share the final sermon Sri Swami Vishwanananda gave on Easter Sunday, in which he talks about the „Word” that is mentioned in the Gospel, the Light that is present in all men.
Christ came to this world to remind men of their own divinity, their own Divine Light Light that shines in them. Whoever believes in Him, the Light, the “Word”, the Divine Name, will have eternal Life.

There is a special booklet that was published this Easter 2012 named “RESURRECT WITH CHRIST which consists of wonderful and extraordinary sermons and talks that Sri Swami Vishwananda gave over the past years with regards to the Christian faith in general and especially Easter. Sri Swami Vishwananda has an unparalleled deep connection with Christ and His essence. His words and even more so his beingness are able to reconnect us – who mostly have grown up in the western part of the world – with our Christian spiritual heritage.

“RESURRECT WITH CHRIST” is available through the Bhakti Shop by sending an email to order@bhaktishop.de. Price: EUR 12 (plus postage).

On March 3 2012 Sri Swami Vishwananda gave a very special sermon as part of a liturgy, explaining the deeper meaning of receiving the communion

Before Swami talked, we read the following part from the Gospel: John 1:43-51, in which Jesus finds Philip, and then Philip finds Nathael.
The initial part was not recorded properly, so find the transcription upto the point the audio file begins:

“Philip is asking: Who is Jesus? Is he really the Son of God, is he really the Messias for who we are waiting, of who the prophets have spoken? All these doubts are normal, at the beginning of the spiritual path, the path of searching, it’s normal that questions arise, but when questions arise you have to ask for an answer from people who know the answer. You have to ask people who are not deluded themselves. If you are already in illusion through the mind, and you go and ask somebody else who is in illusion, it’s like asking a blind man for the way. Here Nathael is asking Philip, Philip who has not a single doubt that Christ is the Messiah. Well, he didn’t need to say it, cause Christ called him, and said, you proclaimed to me that I am the Son of God, when you were talking under the fig tree…”

This is the updated version of the talk posted on the 25th of February with a higher quality audio, although you will need to refer back to the previous talk on this link http://vishwananda.podomatic.com/entry/2012-02-25T15_20_33-08_00 to hear the first minute of the talk.

We hope you enjoy the clip.

On January 6 at the Shree Peetha Nilaya Ashram in Germany, Sri Swami Vishwananda gave a lively 3.5 hour Satsang in which he answered a great variety of questions.

This podcast provides a first impression of the Satsang in the form of an excerpt. It touches upon the most fundamental question of the "Meaning of Life" for each one of us.

The entire Satsang will be processed into a book in the near future, and also CD and DVD publications are planned at a later stage.

In his final Darshan talk of 2011, which at the same time may be his last talk for quite some time to come, Swami reminds us that we belong to God.

And that we should start learning to listen to our Heart, where He dwells deep inside of us.

"Christ is born to renew mankind."

Shortly after the Christmas afternoon celebrations in the little orthodox church of Shree Peetha Nilaya, Swami Vishwananda gave an unexpected special talk in the hall in front of the church about the significance of the birth of Christ and the origin and the symbolism of the Christmas Tree.

Note: We apologise for the lower quality in the beginning, our recording equipment was still in the chapel when Swami began to speak.

Full talk given by Sri Swami Vishwananda during the Darshan evening of 10 December 2011, at Shree Peetha Nilaya, Springen Germany.

Every talk is memorable, but we will say it anyway: This one is especially. Listen to it to find out why. And learn about the purpose of your Life and how to realise it.

Note: The talk is translated live into German.

In his beautiful Darshan talk (translated simultaneously into German) of 11 November 2011, at the Shree Peetha Nilaya Ashram in Springen, Germany, Sri Swami Vishwananda talks about service & prayer that comes directly from the heart.

He explains that whatever comes directly from the heart is much faster than the mind can comprehend and is answered also directly.
We ought to learn to be centered inside the heart; and learn to perform every action with awareness that we are doing it for the Divine, as a form of prayer. The best prayer is TO SEARCH FOR LOVE IN EVERYTHING. And to serve whoever needs help.

Swami says: "Serve, help wherever you can. Don't think about it. The moment you start thinking about it, it is no longer a help."

In this episode you will find the full talk given by Sri Swami Vishwananda during His first ever visit to Tallin, Estonia. Swamiji talks about the reasons why we all often feel a deep loneliness inside ourselves and how we can fix that.

Note: The talk is translated live into Russian and Estonian

We experienced powerful prayers with Sri Swami Vishwananda during the Danteras Ceremony on 24 October at Shree Peetha Nilaya (Springen, Germany) which gave wings to the Bhajans of that night.

We would like to share with you one of the songs. In the background Swami can be heard doing the Danteras Prayers.

In his wonderful Darshan Talk of 22 October 2011 at Shree Peetha Nilaya (Springen, Germany) Sri Swami Vishwananda illuminates the two key practical elements on the spiritual path:

1. Surrender
2. Continuous Rememberance

P.S.:
With the talk he also gave special meditation, which will be available shortly as an audio CD (for further details, please check the Bhakti Shop website in a few days: www.bhaktishop.de). 23 Oct 2011
