“Resilience”
In this talk, “Challenge to Change,” which was filmed following 911, Swami Radhananda encourages us to start with ourselves to bring peace to the world.
“Creativity”
In this video from 2003, Swami Radhananda encourages us to bring forward the feminine to make ourselves and the world whole.
“Devotion”
In this video, Swami Radhananda talks about using the keys Divine Mother has handed us to open the doors of our spiritual home and asks, “Why not make a habit of being devotional?”
“Renunciation”
For our video section this month, Swami Radhananda speaks about ‘tapas’, which means ‘heat’. “You know what you want to go towards, and so you say, I am going to put the heat on. I am going to put the heat on myself so that I don’t keep doing that – so that I have a reminder.” Swami Radhananda gives us reflection questions and encourages us to reach for our highest ideals, one day at a time.
“Symbolism”
For inspiration here is a beautiful video of Swami Radhananda introducing a workshop on “Polishing the Diamond.” She explores the symbolism of the diamond as a metaphor for the fire and Light within – and how we can access that divinity by polishing away our ignorance.
