    I love the way that you tell your story about the guy who hit you, your human struggle, your transition into forgiveness and acceptance of him and love put forth towards him etc. told in a way that will help so many relate to the message you are trying to convey...with such honesty equanimity, equality and love...you have a gift of being able to relate with the masses regardless of a given persons spiritual study, by bringing forth a message on a grand scale without it being as obvious as some other spiritual teachers who "force feed" info. Its so honest that it is obvious that you dont intentionally finesse the talk, which is the thing that is so beautiful about your sharing. I believe you have a gift of being able to share profound insights so that even one who has not studied could still on some level get it and FEEL INTO what your teaching. I recognize this from many of your videos and I believe that this is what sets you apart from so many. You are authentic, heartfelt and honest and you dont pretend to be in any other place than right where you are which is grand and is exactly where you are meant to be...just like wherever whomever is reading this is meant to be. The golden nugget, on the deeper level...so beautiful Dada...thank you for your honesty, service and your dedication to ALL...I LOVE you...The Universe loves you!

    Thank you, I enjoyed these shares and understand that forgiveness is a practice I need more in my life to let go of painful and hateful thoughts and feelings towards people in the past.
    I also think it's important to note for some people it's hard to have good health on a vegetarian diet and thus eating a small amount of animal protein here and there is actually also ahimsa, as ahimsa also includes not doing harm to oneself, this is something of course that a person needs to come to peace with in their hearts. Making close connections with your farmers of meat or vegetables is important to support community and know the practices of the farm. ❤

    Dada, thank you for this lecture.. I often remember your story when I am struggling in maintaining ahimsa or trying to be good. I have often swayed in the area of goody-goody because of my family being often aggressive and I suppose that seeing that negative trait I try to keep that part of myself away from others. My anger towards my family is somewhat justified in the sense that my mother is very controlling and I just don't know what to do sometimes as there is tons of stress on myself to conform.. even though my self is something that doesn't want to conform to ideals that are inherently against the world. Dada I will continue to act without fear and try to be there for the times where meetings with my family can go awry, you have showed me that compassion even in times of stress can still be showing.

    Hola Dada, I write you the other day about fear and now I'm receiving the "little" guidance that I needed. Now this principle makes me think about ourselves as individuals, because most of the time the battle is within ourselves. And I think: how can I know how to not harm anyone if I don't know how to love myself? So, I'm learning to do so, that's why meditation for me is also a way to love me and care for me :) (And I left the garlic definitely, it makes me feel terrible) Thank you!

    The example of ahimsa in practice in this video is very practical (the military man who hit the master). I have had many such experiences in my daily life. Although I had said to myself that I have forgiven the perpetrator, but in reality I had not and in my unconscious mind it repeated many time and I felt a lot of anger. But in this video there has shown a practical and humanistic way to deal with such problem and forgive the offender in heart totally. This is ahimsa. Thank you very much.

    minute 6:01 the fear is the collaboration in co creation towards it, without the fear, you cannot/do not co create the negative outcome. (I had a realisation of this principle some time back --- not claiming to have mastered it in practice but i did grasp the understanding of it).

    I've watched several videos of the channel because I'm studying to be a yoggi and yoga instructor.
    Anyways, I want to thank you very much because I myself have been in situations of psychic agression, and to this day I'm struggling with forgiving, I still feel anger and remorse, but I'm also trying to bring compassion into my thinking and feeling.
    Thanks for giving me insight on how ahimsa can help me deal with the agressions we keep at heart. I will surely share this video! Namaskar

    Thank you for this talk dada 🙏🏽 Can you please give us some tips on how to live with family members who operate from the Svadhishtan chakra - who have support from the entire family to target a particular person in the family and bully them incessantly? I do have compassion for them and I really hope they see the light but it is hard to live with them and keep the mind, body and spirit free from negativity. Is there any good strategy for that? Thank you in advance 🙂

      🙏 We can change ourselves, and We can't change others around us. The correct way to affect change in others is through our own actions. So, if we really want to change others, change ourselves first, then - from our actions, others will change, with their own will. The best way to change ourselves is change our Vibration, from where we are, to a higher vibration. Spiritual Science is the Science to help us to Elevate- Evolution, of Soul's journey. This Lecture is just a small part of the Spiritual Science, but still, it's important. Spiritual Science is meant to be Learned and Apply. When we Learned and Apply Spiritual principles, then We grow Spiritually from it. BnK 🌅🧘🌄

      First of all, try to understand there are 3 types of food, you might be knowing these- Tamsik, Rajasik, Satvik.
      Tamsik- Covers meat, alcohol, other products, onion-garlic, mashroom.
      Satvik- Milk products (except the milk when the cow has recently given birth) and all vegetarian food other than onion garlic and mushrooms.
      * Tamsik food is not good for body and mind in general, although you might see some physical things like good muscle but in the end, when the meat or tamsik food gets processed in body, it harms mind, it disturbs it and results in bad out come, as a spiritual aspirant, it would harm your mind more. And not to forget you have taken someone's life for it. It also results in other health issues as not everybody's can accept it.
      But when you take plant food, it is less agressive and whatever the out come it gives..after process it develop mind.
      You should try to take food which causes less harm and improves you mentally.

    • @greyswift7593
      @greyswift7593 4 місяці тому

      The plants give out less aggression as compared to living.
      It helps in elevating the mind.
      Although your logic about killing is right because, you shouldn't be killing animal and eat..especially the female ones because once the female breed is killed, there is a chance of extinction because only females can give birth and not male.
