In this talk at an event in Melbourne, Australia, Acharya das explores the concepts of peace, balance, and inner fulfillment in modern society.

The Bhagavad Gita's asserts that happiness cannot exist without peace. Most people’s experience is not a life of peace. Consumerism, social media, and self-centeredness have contributed to widespread mental health issues and disconnection from our spiritual nature. Over the past century, people’s lives have shifted from a needs-based culture to a desires-based one, largely under the influence of devious advertising psychology and now by manipulative algorithms. The result is an absence of real peace and a lack of life balance.

True peace and balance will come from understanding our identity as eternal spiritual beings, temporarily residing in physical bodies. This can be experienced through regular meditation practice using spiritual sound as a means to reconnect with our spiritual identity and achieve genuine inner peace.
