Swami Matananda re-introduces an archival video with Swami Radhananda, successor to Swami Radha and our president for 20 years. A key message is: Pressure creates a polished diamond.

Swami Matananda explores how this time of added pressure during COVID can be a way of realizing your human potential. She relates a sweet story of being referred to as a ‘diamond in the rough’ by Swami Radha and how to this day she continues to uncover the essential part of herself that shines.
How are you polishing your inner diamond?
