Self-Acceptance

Self-acceptance is not accepting yourself as you are, with all your faults, that is shadow hugging. Self-acceptance is about accepting who you really are: the true Self, free from delusion and attachment.

Male and Female Energies

Kriyananda talks about the differences between the male and female creative energies, the strengths and weaknesses, and how the two compliment one another. He talks about both the spiritual and the physical aspects. Runs 20 minutes.

Is Peace on Earth Possible?

Kriyananda explains why the yuga cycle gives him hope that peace on Earth is possible in the future.



Now, Kriyananda is not some up in the air "crazy wisdom" guru who uses religion to disguise socialism. He does not go out and promote hedonism under the guise of tantra, though he has made a number of gross errors in his life sexually. He has stated that government spending is responsible for collapsing the economy, he has built several successful communities around the world that have thrived for decades, he is not a cultural Marxist or an economic Marxist, but he does understand the value of community and working together rather than competing.



How can we get peace on Earth? The realist answer is that the old guard of super rich super greedy New World Order elite need to die out. People like Bill Gates and Warren Buffet and the Coca Cola Brothers and Mark Suckerface. People for whom there is not enough money in the universe. People who would sell their own mother for a penny and commit treason to get a no-bid contract. Then the younger people can learn from the example of Ananda and move toward communal living.

God and Attachment

Another lovely video with Kriyananda. Here he talks about gratitude and getting rid of attachments. Everything you have is on loan and must be surrendered one day. Give your fear and worries to God and you'll live in peace.

The Cause of Economic Trouble

Kriyananda talks about how big government and fiat currency are the cause of our economic troubles. The solution is to establish small communities based around cooperation and simple living rather than greed and welfare (Yogananda's "world brotherhood colonies", now realised under the Ananda villages in the US, Italy, and India).
