Swami Medhananda on Vedanta & the Bhagavad Gita for the Youth!

Описание: Here’s a former episode from Season 3 of The Philosophy of Now podcast with the renowned scholar and monk, Swami Medhananda.

#SwamiMedhananda is a Senior Research Fellow and a monk at the #VedantaSociety of Southern California. He is also the Hindu Chaplain at UCLA. He's a scholar who has written insightful books and articles about the philosophies of #SwamiVivekananda and #SriRamkrishna

While in this conversation Swamiji gives us novices a deep dive into Hinduism 101, he also explains his own journey as a youth figuring out his spiritual purpose. He breaks down the life and wisdom from Swami Vivekananda and Ramakrishna Paramhaunsa for the modern generations. He explains what Vienna Vedanta means and how all paths lead to the One Truth.

He advises the youth on how to find their own life of meaning and contemplation.

Let's revisit this episode, learn and reflect together with Swami Medhananda's life mantra!
