Vedic scholar, yoga teacher and author Radhanath Swami recently gave an “At Google” talk about consciousness. The company has now made it publicly available via YouTube.

Google explains in the video description, “Despite decades of advancement in science and technology, we are somehow facing increasingly complex problems to solve — both individual and collective — even in the most affluent nations: identity issues, high divorce rates, unexpected violence, high school dropouts, teenage pregnancy, environmental crisis, energy shortage, unemployment rates, unstable economy, rising healthcare costs, etc. Why and where is the disconnect?”

“The Vedic model of consciousness that’s described in the ancient Sanskrit texts of India provides dramatically fresh insights into the root cause of these problems — and their solutions — in the most unexpected way,” the description continues. “In this talk, Radhanath Swami will explore the inner workings of consciousness based on this model and discuss its application in the modern day context.”
