Find More Meaning, Purpose, and Fulfillment In Your Life

The Awake Yoga Meditation Podcast

Dear Feel Love Now Community,

When you ask, “How may I be of service?” the Divine begins to move through you. Swami Shankarananda teaches that true happiness arises when we live in service to others—what yogis call Karma Yoga. Modern science now confirms what the ancient teachings have long known: service brings meaning, connection, and fulfillment.If you’re seeking purpose or joy, begin by offering your presence, your care, your love. In serving others, we awaken to the deepest truths within ourselves.

Here’s one of our favorite quotes from the video:

“Swami Shankarananda also says this: ‘Both heaven and hell are states of consciousness. Heaven is the God-consciousness of unconditional love and perfection whereas hell is the ego-consciousness of negativity and self-limitation.’ That is from his Satsang book if you would like to read more about that. ”What that means is my choices are determining whether I live in unconditional love and perfection or whether I live in what he calls negativity and self-limitation.”So, it’s up to me. Think about how powerful and creative, how beautiful and pure that makes each of us as creators of our own energy, of our own experience in time and space. And again, it has beneficial effects on everyone we encounter in any way.”

We also shared this video on YouTube, but wanted you to be able to have it on your Substack video player as well, in case you prefer that.

Having it on Substack makes it easy for you to see any other podcasts, videos, articles, or full meditation services that might be available in the Heaven on Earth Series by clicking here.

If you have heard this teaching before, we invite you — as Swami so often invites us — to hear it as if you are hearing it for the first time. Often we receive these teachings right when we need them.
