Thank you Swamiji for so clearly explaining the difference between spirituality and religion and also about the importance of religious practices in disciplining our life. Spirituality is about one's inward journey to purify the mind, cultivate noble virtues and grow in love for God. Our goal in life is spiritual upliftment, no doubt, but the religious practices have their own role in helping us attain focus of mind and engage our mind positively to the Supreme Divinity. Very few people, particularly children, have so much love for God that they can simply sit and meditate upon Him. However, they can easily be taught simple religious practices like prayer, arati, bowing their head and offering obeisance to the deities in the temple. These practices will help build up their samskar, discipline their life and make spirituality accessible to them.
With vivid explanation alongside with our real world situations helping us to how to be a good human.Really I was blessed to encounter such a great swamiji like you🙏🙏🙏
Swamiji gives a profound explanation on what is Religion vs Spirituality.. Inner purification of the heart and making is full of love for God is spirituality. External rituals are the helpers that help in cultivating noble virtues and love for God.. Thank you Swamiji !!!
Radhey Radhey!!Religious practices help us to take our mind to God.Once our mind is connected to God,our love for God increases with the purification of heart🙏
Thank you Swami Ji for explaining the difference between the religious activities vs spirituality. Religious activity is external traditions but spirituality is inner connection to God. External traditions are nothing if your inner connection to God is not pure! I can’t wait for the next episode!
What a great explanation by Swamiji on the religion and spirituality - mind blowing yet simple explanation! That’s the power of our Swamiji’s words❤️ I bow down to such great Guru of mine 🙏
Pujya Swamiji and his practiced knowledge is the gift from God to my upliftment of Pure love to God. Oh Swamiji your every syllable in lectures, I carefully understand it Since I don't know How Vedas are to be ready, but your lectures are the Vedas for me in this life. Radhey Radhey Swamiji 🙏🏻✨
The most important duty according to me would be to be of loving service to God. We are the souls, not this body, the Maya paints an illusion that makes us see the unimportant as important and we get so engrossed in achieving all that Maya has to offer that we forget the real essence of US, we forget we aren't this body. We have been given this body to have the elevated consciousness to see us as the souls and not the body. The choice is ours whether to become God-realized in this life, or else we would have to go on with the cycle of life and death until we reach the one common destination of God realization. Thank you Swami Ji for the enlightening video!
Thank you Swamiji for taking time and efforts to explain the difference between religious practices and spiritual practices and also touching upon karm, bhakti, gyaan modes of God realization. Religious practices of customs and rituals instills a strong discipline and culture and sets the foundation to worship the Supreme God externally (materialistically) which is understandable for most people. However, once this framework is developed it is only through spiritual practices: inward cleansing and purification of the mind takes place and then one starts to develop connection,pure selfless love and devotion towards the Supreme God.
As Swamiji has wisely pointed out, the importance of these religious practices lies in their ability to foster awareness of spirituality among the masses. However, when we delve deeper, we begin to understand the difference between religion and spirituality. Thank you for enlightening us about this distinction. It is crucial to realise that language practices are not the same as spiritual practices. Spirituality is a journey, one that can only be truly embraced when a soul genuinely desires to surrender its beliefs and mind to the Supreme.
Swamiji beautifully explains the difference between the spirituality and religion.The aim of spirituality is the inner purification of mind,cultivation of noble virtues, upliftment of soul and attainment of God realization. Religion makes the spirituality accessible to the vast population. It creates formal structure by which the traditions can be passed down from age to age .Thank you Swamiji for this nice explanation. 🙏
Swamiji preaches us to proceed in right direction to reach our goal. Swamiji says there are only three ways to reach God's realisation. They are Karm , jnan and Bhakti respectively. Karm and Jnan leads to reach Swarg only. Only Bhakti can reach us to Lord Krishna. Rest of twos are very tidious and hard. Swamiji clarifies there are two types Religion and Spiŕituality. Swamiji clearly tells that Going to temple wearing tilak and doing vrata poojas all are Relijious practices. Where as spirituality is totally inner feeling. Swamiji advises us to forward innerly developing for which rituals and customs are not required. Pranams to Swamiji for teaching the difference between Religion and Spirituality.Sant Ravi Das's story is an example of pure Bhakti. He didn't practice any rituals ,developed pure Bhakti innerly that's why he always used to say "Man Changa tho Katothi me Ganga".
To fulfill the duties given by God in His continuous remembrance 🙏🙏 Thank you Swamiji No words are sufficient to express gratitude towards the saints like you who so selflessly shares their knowledge and learnings with others. My sincere regards 🙏🙏 May your Bhakti towards Radha Krishna grow day by day 🙏🙏
Wonderful explanation by Swamiji on Religious vs Spirituality. Religious teaches us to do puja, japa and so many rituals for God, but spirituality teaches us that the inner journey is the most important journey in life. How much we do puja or any rituals if we cannot purify our mind and connect it to God, everything useless. So the theme of all is to love God and to serve God selflessly,unconditionally and keep Him in the heart every moment.
The difference between religion and spirituality is profound. The 3 paths to get closer to God are His 3 natures… sat chit anand! Bhakti yog is the very soul of spirituality! Karma and Gyan yog are incomplete without the drop of Bhakti❤
So well explained by Swamiji the difference between Religion n Spirituality.Religion required for external disciplined n practice for rituals where as spiritual is inward journey---connection n love to God. Swamiji also narrated three paths Karma, Gyan, Bhakti marg to God-realization.Out of three Bhakti is the most easiest n suitable path to everyone.To highlight the importance n sweetness of Bhakti marg--.He gave such a beautiful life story of Great Sant Ravidasji n pundit which is inspiring n motivating. Danbat pranam to Swamiji.
Namaste Swamiji 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏Most important duty in my life is to develop loving devotion towards God, after all that is the purpose of this Human life.Radhe Radhe 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
For me most important is God and Guru seva. Beautiful explanation by Swamiji, difference between the three pathways to God realisation. Also clear distinction between being religious and being spiritual.
Spirituality is an inner journey. Its aim is to purify our mind and heart. Very simply described the distinction between spirituality and religiousness. We should follow the path of Bhakti i.e. loving devotion to God for inner purification.
It is so amazing to learn about the 3 natures of God Sat, Chit, and Ananad and us being tiny parts of Him we resonate the same… and how swami ji drew a congruence to the 3 paths to reach him Karm for Sat, Gyan for Chit and Bhakti for Ananad. Hence these are the only 3 paths to God realization!
Radhey Radhey Swamiji 💐🙏. Beautifully explained the spiritual wisdom and the religious rituals and aspects . Swamiji you make it so simple to understand the difference between being spiritual and being religious 🙏
Most important of all paths to God is the path of Bhakti. Once we purify our mind and do right action to best of our knowledge and ability, we will feel content and make progress towards our Spiritual growth 🙏
As long as our inner self is not connected to God.. rituals serve as mode to connect with God. Once we connect with God the only thing we have to do is love him unconditionally and offer him everything that we do in this life 🙏🏻🙏🏻❤❤
Wow!! Wonder!!! Swamijee Akhand pranaam🙏🙏🙏 Connectivity between #spirituality and #religion and religous rituals has been very clearly explained. One of the best videos I have ever seen 👏👌👍🙏🙏🙏 every youngster needs to see this must and should. #youngsters #teenagers
This is a gem of a video. Many of it that i did not know but wonderful past times and great lessons. Rituals are not to be discarded but we must use it to remind us to develop love for god.
Beautiful message by Swamiji that the spirituality is inner purification of the mind.The essence of scriptures is to develop love for God.The story of Ravidas is interesting.
Spirituality and religion, the need of both, importance of only Spirituality /bhakti/pure love all very amazing explained by swamiji. We should practice this and fulfill our highest goal of human forms. Thanks swamiji ❤❤
For me the most important duty in life is to accept whatever situation God puts me in and to do everything for his pleasure, avoiding overemphasize on rituals and accepting rituals only to improve inner connection with God.
Radhe Radhe.....believe me or not....Just b4 1 sec I was thinking that God please help to find what should I do & what are my duties. I am unable to think and do what I should do. Then I opened the first video that appeared on you tube and it's first line was, what I was searching.....God is great and so much merciful.....Hare Krishna ❤❤ 🙏
Swami ji has very beautifully explained the path of karm. The karm kand cannot be performed correctly in the kaliyuga. And its fruit is swarg which is temporary. The highest bliss is attained through bhakti.
Being religious is a subset of being spiritual...Religious practices help.us to connect with God in simpler manner than spiritual because spiritual path asks us to work from the inside by getting rid of our negative habits/thoughts.. whichever is the way..ultimate habit we need to practice is to Love God selflessly.. for such kind of a person he can opt out from the religious practices which are aimed towards materialistic rewards
Religion is the body and spirituality is the soul. Religious practices are the ladder however we should not be stuck at the religious practices level only but should move further to develop divine love
Namaste Swamiji, The videos you made, Swamiji, provided me with so much knowledge. I have one request Swamiji can you please continue the Bhagavad Gita series on the 'Holy Bhagavad Gita' channel?
Great video! Very informative and well-presented." "I learned a lot from this video. Thank you for sharing." ,My duty in life is Personal Growth: Continuously striving to grow spiritually, morally, and ethically to become a better person.❤❤❤❤
