Stillness Amidst Daily Life | Sri Ramana Maharshi | Unnikrishnan Balakrishnan | JW 88

Can we find stillness and inner peace while living an active, demanding life? Do family responsibilities, work, relationships, and daily challenges prevent spiritual growth? In this Journey Within session, inspired by the teachings of Sri Ramana Maharshi and Advaita Vedanta, we explore how true stillness is not found by escaping the world but by recognizing our true nature. Through Self-enquiry, meditation, and practical reflection, discover how to remain inwardly peaceful amidst daily life and responsibilities.
