Ne zamudite srečanja s Chidanando, avtorjem knjige „The Mindful Yogi“, ki potuje po svetu in širi starodavno znanje Bhagavad Gite, brezčasno in neprecenljivo modrost vedskega znanja, starega več kot 5000 let. S pomočjo starih meditacijskih praks se lahko dvignemo nad ujetost v žalost in užitke sodobnega sveta.
Chidananda je desetletja proučeval vedske tradicije in učenja Bhagavad Gite in tako pridobil globok uvid v pogosto skrite pomene enega najstarejših spisov Indije. Potuje po celem svetu, tokrat predava v Mokini yoga centru, v Ljubljani.
Izjemno sem hvaležna, da sem imela priložnost narediti intervju z njim. Zapisan je v angleščini, da se ne izgubi esenca besed. Na predavanju bomo prevajali v slovenščino.
1. Happiness..the state we all wish to achieve/be happy..Is that even possible? I mean all the time.
If you try and search for external happiness it will always be limited. True happiness can only be found when one understands the relationship between the world, the self and the Divine. This requires us to go within.
2. What is the difference between mindfulness and meditation?
Mindfulness leads one to meditation. Mindfulness is about being aware of every action one does and being present in the moment. Mindfulness is a modern day term given to something that has existed for a very long time in Hinduism called ‘Kriya,’ action with awareness. When one becomes more aware of every action and starts tobe in the present, one is able to begin meditation. The goal of meditation is to understand the relationship between the world, the self and the Divine, as mentioned above for question 1. Meditation in Hinduism has a more spiritual context, and it requires one to completely calm the mind, focus inwards and ultimately realise the truth about oneself. Of course, meditation is a complex term that can not be simply defined in one paragraph, and it is something that I will discuss in length at the talk.
3. Do you have any simple technique/tips that everyone can use in everyday life?
Try your best in every moment to see the Divine in others and serve them in everything that you do. When youselflessly serve others, you will realise yourself.
4. You travel around the world. What impresses you the most?
The hospitality and love of people.
5. Trust and surrencer, we hear that a lot of times when we listen to Gurus. But sometimes is very difficult. What to do when we have obstacles in life?
Surrender and trust needs to be focused on an object. Trusting and surrendering to the Divine is not very easy as the Divine is something that is hard to comprehend with the mind. In Hinduism, we say that one should try and surrender and trust the Spiritual Master, who is the embodiment of the Divine in a body. To find a true Master is only GRACE. But if one is lucky enough to find a true Spiritual Master then one needs to have faith in the master that they are capable of leading us from the darkness to light. To build that faith is not easy. There is no ‘magic key’ for this process. When obstacles come one must try and be obedient in the Master’s words and try and follow the teachings of the Master in the best way possible. This is the ‘easiest’ way.
6. What do you believe in?
I am a servant of the Lord.
7. How to stay in heart energy?
Just Love
8. Please describe your lecture shortly. Who should come, what will participants learn?
The talk will be based on the Bhagavad Gita, an ancient set of yoga techniques that focuses on calming the mind and attaining inner peace. While modern-day yoga is based on physical postures to help our bodies, the ancient Yogis knew that the body is limited and originally taught yoga as a way to realise lasting tranquillity and satisfaction of life. The talk covers the purpose as well as the goal of life, based on the yoga shastras contained in the Bhagavad Gita. It’s for everyone this is struggling to find meaning in their work and relationships and are looking for a way to find true happiness.
