Ritam - Being in Balance. A Podcast on Wellbeing

Delve into the profound wisdom of the five niyamas — purity, contentment, austerity, self-study, and surrender to a higher power — and understand their pivotal role in reaching a sattvic state of being. Learn how these principles not only prepare the mind for meditation but also enhance our quest to connect with our higher self.
Feel the power of discipline and willpower reverberate through your life as we share Swami Vivekananda's insights on 'tapasya' and its life-changing potential. Discover practical methods for building mental fortitude that can be woven into the fabric of everyday life, such as fasting or rising before dawn for meditation. These actions strengthen our resolve and self-confidence, guiding us toward a harmonious mind and a life rooted in truth and morality.
Swamiji helps us recognize the importance of managing our internal energy flow to mitigate restlessness and promote a state of ease. Through this harmonious balance, we achieve a serene state of well-being that radiates from within, setting the stage for a deeper exploration of spirituality and personal growth in our daily lives.
