ISTAGOSTHI: Questions and Answers with Swami Padmanabha — September 14, 2024

0:00 Introduction and Update on recent travels

15:00 We can witness that there are deep lover’s of God in other traditions, and we also hear that unless someone meets a pure devotee from a bonafide sampradaya, one cannot develop love of God. So how can we understand the deep love practitioners from other traditions develop? And in this context, what is a “pure devotee”?

36:54 Swami Padmanabha was asked what are some important questions that he himself has asked which have guided his journey?

55:13 If we are practicing bhakti, are we under the material energy, the spiritual energy, or both?

1:12 Points of Reflection: In order to unlearn things which no longer serve us and learn things that nourish us where we are now, we have to experience things through a different lens, and check in with ourselves how things that people say lands in us. This brings up the importance of authenticity in order to embody new ways of being.
