#144: Devotion to the Divine - Is It Missing in the West?

Swami Chidananda once lived a life of expensive cars and partying–exactly what you might expect of a young investment banker.  But his life took a dramatic turn after realising that rising to the top still meant he was a cog in the capitalist machine. He had a call to follow his purpose even if that meant taking a leap of faith all the way to India. After years of devotion in ashrams, Swami Chidananda is able to now shine some perspective on wisdom seeking and asana practice in the west.  When can philosophies become ungrounding? And, how can teachers guide students through the call of the divine when they are not connected to lineage? Perhaps those like Swami Chidananda have the answers.
