The Problem with Gift Giving & Receiving

Published: June 6, 2019, 9:34 p.m.

Swami Satchidananda is asked a question about why in the Yoga teachings it is recommended not to receive gifts. The questioner is concerned this could hurt a gift-givers feelings and thus violate principles of ahimsa or non-hurting. Swamiji addresses this in teachings that are very timely in relation to school shootings in America today. Ⓟ© 2019 Satchidananda Ashram–Yogaville, Inc. / www.integralyoga.org
