ABOUT
We human beings have always searched for happiness, which means we know we’re not happy. Discontent burns within us, but we search for fulfilment outside ourselves. The Vedic scriptures reveal that in this world, only two types of individuals find happiness: the self-realised souls, who are fully enlightened, and those who are tragically devoted to materialism, exploiting fleeting matter for transitory gratification. Everyone else, caught between these extremes, must grapple with varying degrees of anxiety.
We are absolutely thrilled to announce the return of Devamrita Swami to The Atma Lounge on Thursday 20th June. This time, he will be presenting a visionary talk titled, "Unmasking Happiness: How to Stop Pretending and Start Living." This is an opportunity to delve into the essence of true happiness and learn how to embrace authenticity and practices in our lives for happiness that lasts.
Devamrita Swami is an educator, author, and monk in the Krishna Bhakti tradition. For over forty years, he has been travelling the world sharing the teachings and lifestyle of bhakti-yoga. With a unique ability to analyse modern problems through the wisdom of the Bhagavad-gita and Srimad-Bhagavatam (essential Vedic texts), Devamrita Swami challenges audiences to understand that the quest for genuine personal and social upliftment is rooted in precise and comprehensive knowledge.
His strategic guidance has proven invaluable to students and professionals worldwide seeking to balance their spiritual and professional lives. Spiritual life, he often remarks, is a dynamic experiential reality, not merely a subscription to a belief system.
The evening includes musical mantra meditation, a Q+A session, and a knock-out plant-based feast inc. drink and dessert!
