Why we do Anusthan
0:40 - 1:40 (60 min)

A discourse on the purpose and practice of Anuṣṭhāna, a spiritual observance.
"Anuṣṭhāna is when you make a saṅkalpa. Saṅkalpa means you promise yourself to undertake a practice for a certain purpose: for spiritual development, for good health, for success."
"We pray that all creatures should live in peace, harmony, and health. God protect all. This is our Anuṣṭhāna for this year."
A spiritual teacher explains the traditional practice of Anuṣṭhāna, a vowed observance for specific purposes like family harmony, health, or agricultural success. He contrasts its ideal use for unity and blessings with modern distortions, like praying for divorce. The talk expands to advocate for Anuṣṭhāna as a prayer for universal well-being, encompassing family, community, nature, and all living creatures, emphasizing harmony with the natural world and compassion for animals.
