Swami Swatmananda ji began the session with a short activity where he guided participants to describe themselves using a few cues. From thereon, Swamiji introduced and spoke about the concept of Swadharma in detail. He described and explained five steps to discovering one’s Swadharma namely understanding one’s temperament, exploring talents, discovering one’s passion, considering the practical needs and serving society. As Swamiji discussed each step, he shared practical tips, real-life examples as well as points and questions for participants to reflect upon. He also shared videos relevant to the point in discussion, such as a clip of Pujya Gurudev speaking about the 3 gunas – sattva, rajas and tamas which in different combinations affect one’s temperament. Throughout the workshop, Swamiji posed questions to the participants and actively interacted with them. The workshop concluded with a question-and-answer session with Swamiji.
