Swami Sarvapriyananda: Mandukya Upanishad, 3 of 6
Of all the Upanishads (sacred Sanskrit texts), the Mandukya Upanishad is the shortest — consisting of just 12 sentences! — however, it is considered the most direct and the most powerful. The commentary, or Karika, composed by Gaudapada Acharya 1,500 years ago, it is regarded as the highest text of nondual Vedanta. Its goal is nothing short of transcendence of sorrow and the attainment of unshakeable serenity by the direct intuition of your own nondual nature. From January 2020, Talk 3 of 6.
Swami Sarvapriyananda is the minister and spiritual leader of the Vedanta Society of New York. He joined the Ramakrishna Math and Mission in 1994, received sannyas ten years later, and served in the Hollywood Temple. He was the acharya of the monastic probationers’ training center at Belur Math, and also served as the vice principal of the Deoghar Vidyapith Higher Secondary School. He regularly gives retreats and spiritual talks throughout the United States.

Swami Swaroopananda Q&A: March 2018
What is the purpose of human life? Swami Swaroopananda shares the deeper teachings of yoga by answering questions from ashram guests and spiritual aspirants.
In this Q&A, Swamiji answers the following questions:
00:27 If God is one, why does he/she have so many names and forms?
08:03 What are the signs of progress in meditation, and what are the experiences of advanced meditators?
16:07 As we age, our conceptualization of God naturally evolve. In this lineage we are taught to keep one mantra and one focal point. Can the Bhava change over time or should we just keep one throughout our lives?
19:47 If someone has a yearning for a spiritual connection with God, what's the first thing they should do?
29:25 How can one live the life of yogic sadhana and serve humanity while there are so many challenges everywhere?
33:37 Why is seeking pleasure or being attached to pleasure the root of suffering?
38:55 Who is a real yogi?
44:52 What should we do when we lose hope, when we feel that there is no way out of suffering?
48:15 What are the specific vows taken as a Brahmachari and a Swami?
51:15 How does near-death experience contribute to one's spiritual evolution?
52:48 How does one practice Satya? Sometimes I find myself telling white lies to avoid hurting someone, which I think is good. But then it leads to more white lies later on. How should I practice this?
58:14 Why do we repeat the prayer before meals at the ashram?
1:04:42 Is there a difference between a guru and a spiritual guide? How does one distinguish between the two?
1:08:10 What is the purpose of human life?

Soulshine Yoga Retreats Ibiza 2017
Luxury Holistic Wellness Holidays on Ibiza
APRIL - NOVEMBER 2017
An all round transformative Soulshine holistic wellness experience to nourish the body, mind and soul.
Much more than just a ‘yoga holiday’. These carefully curated retreats at our sumptuously luxurious centre in Ibiza provide the ultimate opportunity to pause from the crazy pace of modern day life. To rediscover and reconnect with your true nature and to let your soul shine (not to mention laugh lots, make new friends with like-minded people, snooze, sunbathe, explore, indulge in ridiculously yummy food and have an all round jolly old time!).
Simply the best and most luxurious yoga retreats on Ibiza. Nestled into the stunning Ibiza countryside with endless panoramic views out to the sea. A short walk to a secluded beach and an inclusive package make this retreat much more than simply a yoga holiday.
The yoga includes 2-hour daily daily Meditation and Dynamic Yoga morning practice and 1-hour afternoon practice including Yin Yoga and Yoga Nidra. Mixed in with an incredible spread of workshops, pampering treatments and all fantastically detoxing, healthy, organic and utterly yummy local vegetarian food.
And if the plentiful yoga, massage and allure of simple relaxation by the pool or one of the many stunning beaches that Ibiza offers isn’t quite enough for you, then there are plenty of opportunities to explore the island and all it’s treats.
