Surfing the Waves

Surfing the Waves - with Sri Swami SatchidanandaRecorded on June 15, 1975The goal of Yoga is maintaining peace, balance and calm amid disturbing thought waves. In this satsang, Swami Satchidananda speaks about various disturbances such as: divisiveness between people, ego clashes in marriage, expectations that lead to disappointment and the nature of desire.He also gives a teaching on how to observe the mind and develop the sakshi or witness: “Watching the thoughts and analyzing them are different. When you are judging them, you are not watching them. Like when you watch a movie with a heroine, it’s beautiful; when the villain comes and snatches her, it can also be beautiful. A real witness means you just enjoy the show and remain unaffected by ups and downs.This DVD captures the spontaneity and energy of a public talk providing a beautiful opportunity to sit with Sri Gurudev and be guided by his vast wisdom.
