Ask a Swami – What does Happiness Mean from Spiritual Perspective? How can we carry hope in difficult times?

In this podcast episode of Ask A Swami, Swami Samayananda, long term teacher and disciple of Swami Radha, explores the themes of happiness and hope, responding to questions asked by listeners:

  • What does happiness mean from a spiritual perspective?
  • How can we carry hope in difficult times?

Drawing from her own experience, Swami Samayananda reflects on the importance of cultivating a rich inner life through daily spiritual practice, which provides something to lean into when outer circumstances fall short.

She shares insights on the power of gratitude, mantra and faith, exploring how spiritual practices can be an active force for transformation in challenging times.
