Narayanashrama Tapovanam

Gurupoornima 2024 | Swami Bhoomananda Tirtha The Holy Gurupoornima day function from Narayanashrama Tapovanam, Thrissur, Kerala. Subscribe to our newsletter: https://www.bhooman...

https://www.bhoomananda.org/videos/02-by-swami-bhoomananda-tirtha-what-is-life/ - What is life? Poojya Swamiji says that while everyone is leading a life, one is unable to define exactly what it is.

The sentience within our body, which animates the body, is totally different from it and what it experiences through the senses. Drawing upon verses from Srimad Bhagavatam, Poojya Swamiji delves into the mystery and grandeur of this sentience, the Self, which inhabits, nay, gives birth to this entire universe. This sentience, which is at the centre of our experiences, and also the focus of our sadhana, is what we call life.

The talk delivered during the Gurupoornima retreat of 2022, is a wonderful exposition of what constitutes life and what its purpose is.

https://www.bhoomananda.org/video_playlists/yoga-through-3-guna-transformation/ - During the Gurupoornima retreat of 2021, Nutan Swamiji spoke on the Bhagavad Gita - Chapter 14, shedding light on the Guna-traya-vibhaga Yoga. How does the 3 guna model help us in transforming our personality? Can we alter the constitution of our mind? What is the sadhana required for making the mind sattvika? These and many more questions, important for any seeker on any spiritual path, are dealt by Swamiji in this 8-day discourse series.

https://www.bhoomananda.org/videos/01-sarva-vedanta-siddhanta-sara-sangrahah-swamini-ma-gurupriya-role-of-guru-bhakti-and-self-effort-in-spiritual-progress/ - In the year 2021, during the Gurupoornima retreat, Ma Gurupriyaji took up selected verses from one of the lesser known texts by Shankara - Sarva-Vedanta-Siddhanta-Sara-Sangrahah. She focussed on the role of Guru Bhakti and Self-Effort in spiritual progress.

As Poojya Swamiji often says, while one part of the sadhana is taken care of by the Guru, the other part rests on the devotee who has to leave no stone unturned in giving the Supreme Reality the supreme place in life. But how exactly to do that, and what role does Guru-Bhakti play in it? This discourse series is a practical user manual for the seeker who wants to intensify his sadhana.
