Why do bad things happen? Why do we lament on the past? In this motivational lecture, Swami Mukundananda reveals the divine reasoning for the events in our life. When something unfortunate happens, we lament on it. When we lament on it in the present, our mind goes into the past. We think about why this happened, why that happened, it was very bad that it happened, why did it happen at all? Etc. When our mind is in the past, the present contemplation (chintan) one is required to do will vanish. We all constantly wonder how can we live a happy life but continue to fail in doing so with material objects.
With quotations from various scriptures, Swamiji concisely articulates an extremely insightful point. Watch the full lecture to hear Swamiji graciously explain the secret of how we can prevent the mind from playing its record!

I was deeply hurt by someone who broke my trust. I didn’t expect this person to leave me in my bad times as he always promised me he would be there always. I went under depression thinking god is so unkind. Then I read Bhagvad Geeta and heard swamiji’s lecture. So I can definitely say god did this to me so I could read Geeta and enhance my soul rather than expect things from people who eventually leave u

If you focus on the hurt, you will continue to suffer but if you focus on lesson, you will continue to grow. The person left from your life because he don't loves you but you love yourself so you should be there for yourself. Focus on your life goals and all the best for good life.

These videos have helped me on y souls journey because when I lost everything my home, my business, my family disowned me lost money all in a space of 6 months through no fault of my own. It was then that Lord Krishna turned up in a powerful way and blew me away with his Divine love.I am not Hindu so it was such a shock for me so unexpected. Lord Krishna led me to these videos it all makes sense now. It was worth losing everything to meet Lord Krishna to learn to give and receive Divine love. Thank you

Swamiji beautifully says that God throws challenging situations at us to teach us mental austerities which help us grow spiritually so should be perceived as a blessing.

Today at 4:30am I came in searching for this divine wisdom and now I have completely changed my attitude from lamenting to gratitude to God😇 I have understood not get disturbed by my distress. I am practicing to detach my mind from the past incident and connect it to lord Ram🌸 This is just a one piece of experience which changed my life. There were my incidents I had encountered and felt the presence of God in each and everyone of them due to Swamiji's grace🙏🏻🙏🏻🌸🙏🏻

In the wise words of Swami Ji, it is not enough to simply speak or think about our beliefs and values. It is our actions that truly define who we are. Our words and thoughts give insight into our intentions, but it is our actions that have the power to make a real impact and shape our character. We must strive to align our words and thoughts with our actions in order to truly embody our beliefs. Thank you Swami Ji for reminding me of the importance of living by our actions and not just our words. Radhey Radhey 🙏 🙏

What a wonderful way to connect god and feel the grace at bad times, the most useful knowledge I got today. The examples of Tukaram ji is so touching and a real life story of this world, when we have to deal similar situations and incidents more or less everyday in various ways and this knowledge truly is a savior. I just save this to listen everyday and feel the divine grace of god every moment.

Awesomely explained by Swami Mukundananda ji...why we should not lament, what are the consequences of lamentation... we loose our present moment in our life if we start lamenting. 'This should not have happened, why did this happened?, etc'. How can we stop this? Swamiji gave beautiful solution that we should see the grace of God in that situation. How can we see God's grace also mentioned by Swamiji...Because that situation came into our life to teach detachment from the worldly things and seek eternal life...Swamiji gave the beautiful example of Saint Tukaram and what had happened in his life with his wife? We need to see God's grace in reversal situations in life...Otherwise we will feel miserable constantly...Kunti devi asked Lord Shree Krishna for the miseries in her life so that she can never forget God a moment...A great lesson to be learned from the mother Kunti devi... If we can practice this much in our life we will see positivity in every situation in our life and rapidly move ahead in the path to reach God... Thank you Swami Mukundananda ji for your beautiful explanation and divine teachings...These are really showing the path in our life to move towards positiveness...
