Lecture 6/6. Spain, Vilanova i la Geltrú, 2014.

The final lecture in this series focuses on the vitarkas (thoughts) and niyamas – śauca (purification), santoṣa (contentment), tapas (discipline), svādhyāya (self study) and iśvara praṇidhāna (surrender to the greater power).

Swamiji assures us that the niyama are easy to understand; it is our thoughts – the vitarkas – that making the practice of these tenets more challenging. This engaging conversation sheds light on our thoughts and how we can reflect upon them to develop our contentment and happiness in life.
