“I Quit Wall Street, Became A Monk & Found The Key To Happiness” | Swami Chidananda

Thank you Andre for the interview. Very much enjoyed our conversation :) Much Love

What a powerful conversation! Woke up on the wrong side of the bed and I am completely turned around. The story on the train gave me chills, and the final message was perfect. My personal mantra is “I let go and let love flow, the less I try, the more I grow.” Thank you André

I cant help but smile everytime he speak...... Man radiates pure beauty

I waited until the evening to listen to this to give my full attention. My instincts were right. This was an amazing conversation. Many of us run the rat race but even when we come out ahead, we're still rats at the end of the day 😂 I felt it when he said that. It's at the point where I see people with big houses, fancy cars, expensive clothes and I think of them as more unfortunate than spiritual people who have very little material possessions but have a wealth of knowledge and self-awareness. Edit: the day after watching this video and commenting, I was in my garden and there was a dead mouse or rat in the middle of the walking path I have. That's the first time I've ever seen a mouse/rat in the wild, much less a dead one in my yard. I looked at it for a few minutes, watching the flies, beetles and other bugs feasting and the decomposition process. I felt like I was in a trance, watching it return to the Earth. I remembered the rat race comment in this interview and feel that was symbolic in some way. It's crazy the things we notice and literally get put in our path when we become awake to them

Just wow wow,,got what i longed for,,never seen a young swami explaining such complex ideas so easily,,,thank u very much swamiji,,

I am listening to this as I’m driving, when I heard that having a community was so important my heart dropped. I felt emotional because I seem to have lost my community, my friends and I feel really lost, like I don’t fit in anymore. I was very grateful when he brought up that this is a community. I’m so grateful for these podcasts, when I do my gratitude walk every morning, I always thank all the people that share their wisdom on these podcasts. As well as those behind the scenes that we don’t see so thank you for helping me have some community in this difficult time.

I almost didn't listen to the entire podcast, because I thought I knew everything Swami Chidananda was speaking of. (haha-living it is the key!) Some inner voice told me to finish today-- well, I discovered with his "Cafe on the edge of the cliff" - it was the answer I had been searching for for 10 YEARS--since I was 60 after surrendering all my homes, land and most cherished possessions to completely trust the Divine Will. I did great job but allow me to question when good intentioned 'friends' allowed my mind to hijack my inner desire and knowing. I have been standing on the edge of the Cliff and yet never jumped--always allowing the mind to create some type of distraction and question. I humbly thank you both.

what a beautiful Being! I so enjoyed the two stories he told about the homeless woman and man... So very powerful to realize for ourselves where the rubber hits the road and let go of spiritual ego. Thanks Andre for bringing on such wonderful people!!😇😇😇

Autobiography of a Yogi is such an amazing book. I love this podcast.

Andre I found this profile two weeks ago. I usually watch podcasts on my headphones while working, exercising or driving. I put your podcast on tv and was taking notes for the whole 2.5h. The knowledge you share here is priceless. As much as I want to watch it now, I will wait till the evening to open my notebook again. Thank you for all you do so we all can learn and expand our minds. ❤️

Andre is so talented at editing and interviewing these amazing spiritual leaders. He’s most definitely channeling a higher being during these sessions. I always wonder if he’s in a flow state conducting these interviews. Because he must be!

Incredible the inspiration, clarity and devotion that Paramahamsa Vishwananda and Bahkti Marga community are giving me in only 2 years. Swami Chidananda is the example that reflectes this beautiful and tough path! Just Love

This conversation is beautiful. It brought me back in touch with my spirituality. As Ram Dass and Michael Singer have said, once you’re on this path, you’re on it, and I’d not have it any other way.

What an absolute blessing to spend some time in clarity and peace with you, thank you! ❤️‍🔥🙏🌹✨

It makes my day to see there's a new podcast posted with once again another amazing, inspirational, human ❤. Thank you Andre 😊

I’m only ten mins in and know it’s going to be great. I got to say I’m super grateful for these podcasts. Namaste 🙏🏼

Andre this was the best interview I've seen you do. I'll go and listen to Hoffman's interview but my god this one really hit me.

Amazing conversation. Happy to see Swamiji here

Interesting way to approach success ... 1. Be happy for others / 2. Enjoy what you do / 3. Help others become successful ... enjoying the podcast thus far with Swami Chidananda

This guy give me the sense of peace. When he talk I feel peace and quiet. I feel like his energy had shift my energy. Just beautiful.
