The Darshan Room - Meditation for the Modern Age

"Imagine discovering that the person manipulating, harassing, and sabotaging your life was someone you hired--and continue to protect.
Raghunātha dāsa Gosvāmī exposes a disturbing truth in Śrī Manah-śikṣā: lust, anger, and greed are not strangers. They are familiar voices we trust, defend, and refuse to block--despite decades of evidence that they harm us.
This talk explores why we remain loyal to internal enemies, how spiritual intelligence differs from self-deception, and what it actually means to ""cut ties"" with forces we secretly believe we need.

Hi 🙋‍♂️ I’m Chandra, (AKA Nityananda Chandra)
I began my journey into the spirituality of the East over 30 years ago. Since then I have spent many years studying Vedic philosophy in ashrams around the USA and India. I have been teaching topics such as karma, Ayurveda, the guṇas of yoga, meditation, kirtan, Bhagavad Gītā, and so on.
My teaching journey has led me to speak at many universities, multinational companies, yoga studios, retreats, and in humble settings of homes and 12-step programs. Teaching is my passion, helping others help oneself is what inspires me.
