What is yoga? Meditate better with Swami


Meditate better | Swami Sarvapriyananda
(Vedanta New York, 12/6/21) "The mind is very restless, turbulent, strong, and obstinate, O Krishna. It appears to me that it is more difficult to control than the wind" (Bhagavad Gita 6.34).

Lord Krishna said: "O mighty-armed son of Kunti, what you say is correct; the mind is indeed very difficult to restrain. But by practice and detachment, it can be controlled" (Ibid. 6.35).

Inspired by these verses, Swami Sarvapriyananda (a disciple of the great Hindu Swami Vivekananda) provides invaluable guidance on improving our meditation.
ABOUT: Vedanta is one of the world’s most ancient religious philosophies and one of its broadest. Based on the Vedas, the sacred scriptures of India, Vedanta affirms the oneness of existence, the divinity of the soul, and the harmony of religions. ABOUT US: Vedanta Society of New York is affiliated with the Ramakrishna Order of India. In fact, this is the Order's first Center started by Swami Vivekananda in 1894. It was a historic event, for the seed of the world-wide Ramakrishna Movement was sown here in New York over a century ago. Swami Sarvapriyananda is the present resident minister and spiritual leader of the Vedanta Society of New York.
