Reflections on a Time of Distance and Practice
A spiritual discourse reflecting on the COVID-19 pandemic, vegetarianism, and spiritual practice.
"Always, those who practiced yoga have not died."
"Why is this disease only for humans?... Only humans. We still do not know why."
Swami Vishwaguruji delivers a wide-ranging talk, reflecting on the isolation and lessons of the pandemic. He discusses the health benefits of a vegetarian diet and consistent yoga practice, shares observations from India and Europe, and stresses the importance of sattvic living and spiritual nourishment. He is later joined by Mahamandaleshwar Gyaneshwar Puriji, who expresses happiness at the gathering and echoes the importance of spiritual practice and proper nourishment.
