The Spiritual Freedom Show with Richard Lawrence: Swami Vivekananda: Bravery, willpower and intellect on the spiritual pathWhat if a single speech could change the spiritual landscape of the western world?

In 1893, it did.

The life of Swami Vivekananda is a story of a spiritual giant who exemplified bravery, will and the world-changing power of a spiritually-inspired intellect.

In this latest episode we explore some of the fascinating stories of this great Indian Saint and the lessons we can apply today:

  • Discover why Vivekananda’s legendary speech at the Parliament of Religions was such a turning point for spirituality in the West
  • Hear a little-known story of Vivekananda’s extraordinary willpower
  • Explore how the search for God-realization requires both logic AND intuition—and a key to applying them successfully in your life
  • Discover the value of discernment on the spiritual path – especially in cutting through the cacophony of misinformation that faces every new seeker
  • Hear stories about how you can change the world by standing by your true spiritual beliefs–even when you are tested by difficult experience
