An Evening Satsaṅg: On Karma, Compassion, and the Chakras
An evening satsang featuring questions, answers, and teachings on karma, compassion, vegetarianism, and the chakras.
"Only now, after not. Like you dream... that was only the astral body. But if you go now physically... Similarly, this life is given to solve all the problems, all the karmas, and that's why we are here."
"One great saint said... 'Those who do, they will suffer.' That's it. So once you explain them, then finished, okay? Or get a new flat."
Swami Turyananda leads the session, responding to questions from attendees. He explains how to purify karma through selfless action (niṣkāma karma), addresses the ethics of vegetarianism with stories and the law of karma, and discusses balancing material and spiritual life. The latter part focuses on the chakras as energy centers, explaining their function, connection to prāṇa, and their role in enlightenment, supported by a chart from the book Hidden Powers in Humans.
