    3. Srimad Bhagavatam [Bhagwat Katha] – Part 3 | Swami Mukundananda

    In this part, Swamiji explains how Srimad Bhagavatam begins with Vyasa offering respects to the Absolute Truth, without limiting to any sectarian name, so that all seekers can relate. He clarifies the difference between relative truths and the one Absolute Truth — the Supreme Lord from whom the world emanates and upon whom everything rests.  Swamiji highlights that the Bhagavatam is kaithavrahit — free from cheating religion. Unlike materialistic or self‑serving practices, it presents the pure Dharma of selfless love for God. Dharma here means the conduct and values that lead to auspiciousness and liberation, untainted by worldly motives.  He further explains that the Bhagavatam is the ripened fruit of Vedic knowledge, relished by Shukadev Ji, and offered to all souls as nectar of divine bliss. It is meant to be “drunk” through the ears with devotion, not merely read or heard mechanically. Only with a devotional heart can one truly taste its sweetness.  This part establishes that the path of righteousness in the Bhagavatam is pure Bhakti — devotion to the Absolute Truth — which alone is the essence of Dharma and the highest good for humanity.  About Swami Mukundananda:    Swami Mukundananda is a renowned spiritual leader, Vedic scholar, Bhakti saint, best‑selling author, and an international authority on the subject of mind management.

    2. Srimad Bhagavatam [Bhagwat Katha] – Part 2 | Swami Mukundananda

    In this part, Swamiji explains that wisdom and detachment are not achieved by dry renunciation or intellectual knowledge, but arise naturally when devotion awakens in the heart. The Bhagavatam teaches that when love for God deepens, worldly desires lose their grip, and true wisdom shines effortlessly.  Swamiji narrates how the sages, led by Shaunaka, asked: “How can one attain freedom from material bondage?” Narad Ji responded that by hearing and chanting the glories of Shree Krishna, the mind becomes purified. He revealed the plight of Bhakti Devi, who had grown weak and neglected in this world. But through the power of the Bhagavatam, Bhakti Devi regained her strength, and with her revival, her two sons — Wisdom (Gyan) and Detachment (Vairagya) — also flourished. This shows that Bhakti Devi is the mother, and wisdom and detachment are her natural children.  This part makes clear that the Bhagavatam restores Bhakti Devi to her rightful place, ensuring that wisdom and detachment arise as her companions. It inspires seekers to cultivate devotion through remembrance of God’s names and pastimes, thereby receiving wisdom and detachment as divine gifts, guiding the soul toward liberation and the eternal bliss of Sat‑Chit‑Anand.  About Swami Mukundananda:    Swami Mukundananda is a renowned spiritual leader, Vedic scholar, Bhakti saint, best‑selling author, and an international authority on the subject of mind management.

    1. Srimad Bhagavatam [Bhagwat Katha] – Part 1 | Swami Mukundananda

    In this opening part, Swamiji introduces Srimad Bhagavatam as the crown jewel of all scriptures, the supreme text that reveals the highest purpose of human life. He explains that the Bhagavatam is not merely a narration of divine stories, but a spiritual guide that leads seekers from worldly entanglement to pure devotion and liberation.  Swamiji highlights the profound question raised at the beginning of the Bhagavatam: “What is the ultimate good for humanity?” The sages declare that unalloyed devotion to the Supreme Lord is the highest path. Even Lord Shiva affirmed this truth when Mother Parvati asked him what was most beneficial for the soul. Shiva replied that devotion to Shree Hari is the supreme good, greater than all austerities, rituals, or knowledge.  This part sets the foundation for the entire series, showing that the Bhagavatam leads seekers to cultivate devotion that is selfless and pure. It inspires us to approach the scripture not merely as philosophy, but as a living path of love that transforms the heart and reveals the soul’s eternal nature of Sat‑Chit‑Anand — eternal existence, pure consciousness, and divine bliss.  About Swami Mukundananda:    Swami Mukundananda is a renowned spiritual leader, Vedic scholar, Bhakti saint, best‑selling author, and an international authority on the subject of mind management.

    18. When Life Feels Fearful — Krishna Reveals What Truly Protects You | Bhagavad Gita for Everyday Living by Swami Mukundananda

    In this episode, Swamiji speaks directly to the experience of fear that grips us when life feels uncertain or overwhelming. He begins by acknowledging how external supports — wealth, possessions, social standing — often fail to provide lasting security. Despite our efforts, fear lingers because these supports are temporary.  Swamiji then draws from Krishna’s wisdom in the Bhagavad Gita, explaining that real protection comes only from God. Krishna assures that those who surrender to Him are never abandoned. Fear dissolves when we anchor our minds in devotion, because divine grace becomes our shield.  Through vivid narration, Swamiji illustrates how faith transforms anxiety into courage: chanting God’s name calms the restless mind, surrendering outcomes to Krishna frees us from the illusion of control, and remembering His presence gives us strength in adversity. He emphasizes that fear is natural, but it loses its grip when we cultivate trust in the Divine Protector.  This teaching matters because it equips seekers to face life’s uncertainties with confidence and peace. By embracing Krishna’s protection, we rise above fear, live with resilience, and progress steadily toward liberation.  About Swami Mukundananda: Swami Mukundananda is a renowned spiritual leader, Vedic scholar, Bhakti saint, best‑selling author, and an international authority on the subject of mind management.

    17. A Radha‑Krishna Story That Will Touch Your Heart — How God’s Grace Finds You | Bhagavad Gita for Everyday Living by Swami Mukundananda

    In this episode, Swamiji narrates a moving Radha‑Krishna story that reveals the mysterious and compassionate ways in which God’s grace reaches His devotees. He begins by describing how seekers often feel unworthy or distant from God, yet Krishna’s mercy flows even to those who falter.  Through the story, Swamiji illustrates that grace is not earned by perfection but bestowed out of divine love. He explains that Radha and Krishna’s relationship embodies the highest truth: God seeks the soul with greater intensity than the soul seeks God. Even when we stumble, Krishna finds ways to uplift us, reminding us that His compassion is unconditional.  Swamiji connects this to the Bhagavad Gita’s assurance that those who surrender wholeheartedly are never abandoned. He emphasizes that grace manifests when we cultivate humility, devotion, and trust — opening our hearts to receive it.  This teaching matters because it reassures seekers that spiritual progress is not about flawless effort but about sincere surrender. By embracing Krishna’s grace, we discover inner strength, peace, and the certainty that God’s love will always find us.  About Swami Mukundananda: Swami Mukundananda is a renowned spiritual leader, Vedic scholar, Bhakti saint, best‑selling author, and an international authority on the subject of mind management.

    24. Crossing Beyond Maya through Surrender – Part 2: Teachings from Bhagavad Gita Chapter 7.14 by Swami Mukundananda

    Crossing Beyond Maya through Surrender – Part 2: Teachings from Bhagavad Gita Chapter 7.14 by Swami Mukundananda  In this episode, Swamiji continues his discourse on Bhagavad Gita Chapter 7, Verse 14, Part 2, where Shree Krishna declares: “This divine energy of Mine, consisting of the three modes of material nature, is difficult to overcome. But those who surrender unto Me cross beyond it.”  Swamiji explains that Maya is daivi—God’s own divine energy—and therefore impossible to conquer by intellect, strength, or worldly success. Even the most brilliant minds remain bound if they rely on ego and effort alone. The only way to transcend Maya is through complete surrender to God.  He illustrates this truth with the example of Meera Bai, who fearlessly gave up worldly comforts, reputation, and security for her love of Krishna. Her unwavering devotion made Maya powerless, showing that when the heart belongs entirely to God, worldly illusions lose their grip. Swamiji emphasizes that true bhakti is not conditional or bargaining—it is wholehearted belonging to the Divine.  The key teaching is that liberation is not achieved by personal power but by grace. When the soul humbly surrenders, God Himself lifts it beyond Maya’s influence. This verse inspires seekers to cultivate humility, devotion, and surrender, recognizing that only by God’s mercy can one cross over this divine energy and attain freedom.  About Swami Mukundananda: Swami Mukundananda is a renowned spiritual leader, Vedic scholar, Bhakti saint, best-selling author, and an international authority on mind management.

    23. Overcoming the Divine Energy of Maya: Teachings from Bhagavad Gita Chapter 7.14 by Swami Mukundananda

    In this episode, Swamiji explains Bhagavad Gita Chapter 7, Verse 14, where Shree Krishna declares: “This divine energy of Mine, consisting of the three modes of material nature, is difficult to overcome. But those who surrender unto Me cross beyond it.”  Swamiji narrates how Maya, God’s divine energy, operates through the three gunas—sattva, rajas, and tamas—to bind the soul in illusion. He emphasizes that Maya is not ordinary; it is daivi (divine), meaning it belongs to God Himself and is therefore extremely powerful. Even the most intelligent or strong cannot escape its grip by their own effort.  He illustrates how Maya deludes people into thinking the material world is independent, making them chase temporary pleasures and forget the eternal truth of God. Swamiji explains that this is why saints, philosophers, and even great leaders often remain bound—they rely on intellect or strength, but Maya can only be transcended through surrender to God.  The key teaching is that liberation is not achieved by personal power but by bhakti (devotion). When the soul humbly surrenders, God’s grace lifts it beyond Maya’s influence. Swamiji inspires listeners to cultivate humility, devotion, and surrender, reminding them that only by God’s mercy can one cross over this divine energy and attain freedom.  About Swami Mukundananda: Swami Mukundananda is a renowned spiritual leader, Vedic scholar, Bhakti saint, best-selling author, and an international authority on the subject of mind management.

    22. How the Three Gunas Delude the World: Teachings from Bhagavad Gita Chapter 7.13 by Swami Mukundananda

    In this episode, Swamiji explains Bhagavad Gita Chapter 7, Verse 13, where Shree Krishna declares: “Deluded by the three modes of material nature—sattva, rajas, and tamas—the whole world does not recognize Me, who am beyond them and imperishable.”  Swamiji narrates how the three gunas—goodness, passion, and ignorance—are God’s energies that govern material existence, yet they also act as a veil. Because the soul is conditioned by these gunas, it fails to perceive God’s transcendence. Even sattva, though elevating, binds through attachment to knowledge and happiness; rajas binds through desire and restlessness; tamas binds through inertia and delusion.  He emphasizes that this veil is Maya, God’s divine energy that bewilders the soul. Maya makes the world appear independent, hiding the truth that everything rests upon God. Swamiji explains that this is why even the most intelligent people—scientists, philosophers, leaders—often fail to recognize the Divine, being caught in the net of the gunas.  The key teaching is that liberation from Maya is only possible through bhakti (devotion). By surrendering to God, seekers rise above the gunas and perceive His imperishable nature. Swamiji inspires listeners to reflect on how the gunas operate in their own lives and to cultivate devotion as the path to transcendence.  About Swami Mukundananda: Swami Mukundananda is a renowned spiritual leader, Vedic scholar, Bhakti saint, best-selling author, and an international authority on the subject of mind management.
