Part 2 - Post Election Talks in NYC

Part 2 - Post Election Talks in NYC

Part 2 - Unedited live recording of my post-election talks held every Thursday night in New York City in December 2016.

Talk duration: 45 mins 16 secs



After this election, I witnessed many people around me fall into despair, fear, worry and anger. When I was a monk, when situations got complicated or problematic my guru always made me ask myself, "What am I going to do about it?" Gurudeva taught me that it is both necessary and imperative to take action...but it has to be the right action. Taking the right action requires a clear perspective on the issue. How is this clear perspective attained? It's attained by going inward and lifting ones awareness to a higher state of consciousness.

My response to these times is to host a FREE meditation class every Thursday in December from 7:30-8:30pm in Manhattan. In this one hour class, you will be given tools that you can use to help lift your consciousness to a higher state, and through meditation you will learn to center yourself and to help you figure out how to leverage your strengths to make a difference using the right channels through intelligent action.

    The way forward is inward and upward. Truly. In this confusing time (post election in the US), and it is very confusing for a lot of people, our first step is to take a higher perspective on all of it. If you are functioning in a lower state of mind like fear or anger for exampl
