When I was a child
A spiritual discourse blending personal history, karma yoga, and life guidance.
"Only through karma yoga will you be again with your friends, and you will become family and friends."
"Do something, and in that moment, something is able to happen in your destiny."
Vishwaguruji shares a stream-of-consciousness talk, recounting pivotal moments from his youth—including his father's predictions, meeting his Guruji, and running away to a spiritual life. He narrates his early travels to Europe to teach yoga and advocate for vegetarianism, which led to founding ashrams. The talk emphasizes active spiritual practice (karma yoga) over passive waiting, applying this to seeking partnerships and personal growth. A disciple concludes by summarizing the core message of taking destiny into one's own hands.
