In this talk Swami Sitaramananda will teach about our negative emotional patterns and we can turn this instead into Selfless love. The main practice to do this is through Bhakti yoga (the yoga of devotion). By doing this we uplift our self and others and we spiritualize our relationships with others.
Normally we are suffering because we all aspire to love 100% but we fail to feel this way most of the time. Instead we feel like we are losing ourself, our mind is swinging and we suffer from the paradox of wanting to lose ourself in love.
Swamiji will teach that Love is the true goal of life and this love is for ever. By learning how to practice Universal Love we can come to a state of True happiness.
