Having a Significant and Meaningful Life

Is our purpose in life to enjoy a few moments, to flourish in the short term, and that's all? Most of us long for more than that. If we want to have deep meaning and significance to our lives we need a comprehensive science of what is beyond the temporary, beyond matter, and we need the techniques for experiencing this reality. Bhagavad gita is an essential guiding friend to take us over and above faith and belief and into the spiritual laboratory full of meaning and purpose. Watch and hear where Bhakti Yoga can take us...

The Real Fix for the Pressing Environmental Crisis

Sea levels and temperatures are rising like never before, species of life, fresh water, top soil all disappearing at rates scientists haven't seen in recent human history. Are we really making progress?
We've destroyed our own habitat and we don't seem to be able to do anything about it, despite our efforts. Only an extraordinary spiritual process can counteract the deep set patterns of our behaviour, which are the root cause of the crises. We welcome everyone to the world to Bhakti Yoga, a world of superior sense activity, a world where we can actively make a real difference.

Root cause and remedy for stress and anxiety

We’ve all experienced it. Even when the body is comfortable, still everything can be ruined when our minds are overrun by stress and anxiety. There’s a type of anxiety unique to human beings - existential anxiety - what is the purpose of life. This type of anxiety can bring us to question in the deepest way and attain the knowledge that will make our human lives an ultimate success.

A Tribute from a Student

YOLO - could this notion be toxic?

One life is all you get? Just as the baby has a future, the child has a future, the adult has a future, the old person has a future, similarly the deceased person also has a future. Our not remembering our past life or having no perception of a future life is no proof that there is no life after this one. The bhakti yoga texts inform us that the hallmark of a real human civilisation is to understand that the spirit soul does not perish and that we should have the concern - what will my next body be?
