E84 - Paramahamsa Vishwananda: The 3 Paths of Spiritual Purification To Go From Your HEAD To Your HEART

On this episode of Know Thyself Podcast we are joined by Paramahamsa Vishwananda, for an intriguing conversation on the reality of self realization, samadhi, and performing miracles. He shares his story of awakening at a young age, revealing the divine interactions with Mahavatar Babaji that shaped his life forever. He reveals what lies at the heart of humanity's search for happiness, and how we can make every day heaven on Earth. He discusses the truth about being a guru: from spiritual ego, experiencing anger, and the importance of the guru. Andre and Paramahamsa Vishwananda also discuss achieving harmony in romantic relationships, aligning ourselves to the will of the Divine, and finding your own unique path of self realization.
