Expanding Our Love: From Self to All | Aravind Balasubramanya /

Brother Aravind explores how to develop intense love for God and see God in everyone. He discusses how Swami Vivekananda's life and teachings can help us to expand our love and see God in all aspects of life. We also hear a story about Hal Honig - a devotee who was able to see God in a robber and transform a potentially dangerous situation into a moment of love and connection. We ask for the grace to develop intense love for God and to see God in everyone.


Speaker bio:
Aravind Balasubramanya hails from a family that has been devoted to Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai Baba for nearly half a century. His father was a photographer of Bhagawan in the late 60s and early 70s in Brindavan and many of the old black and white photographs we see of Swami have been through his lens.
Inspired by his parents, especially his mother, to spend his life with his Swami, Aravind joined Sri Sathya Sai Vidyapeeth in Calicut, Kerala for his primary education. He joined Sri Sathya Sai High Secondary school in Prasanthi Nilayam for his high schooling. He followed it with a bachelor's in science with specialization in chemistry from the Sri Sathya Sai Institute of Higher Learning for which he secured a gold medal. He continued to complete his master's in science (chemistry) and with the desire to stay with Bhagawan went on to do his MBA too.
It was in the institute that he got several opportunities to speak in the Divine presence, act in many presentations and plays and also pursue photography which he picked up from his father. He was careful in recording almost every day that he spent in the physical proximity of his Lord via his many personal diaries and photographs.
Aravind with his love and zeal for Swami and His mission continues to share and spread Swami's teachings with his unique talents in using audio-video skills in wide range of social media platforms and giving inspiring talks around the world through personal appearances.
