In Curly Tales Sunday Brunch with the coolest Monk Guruji Gaur Gopal Das, we delved into deeper parts of life, happiness, struggles and relationships. The interview was charismatic and ignited a sense of personal belonging with his out-of-the-box motivational skills. Guruji candidly tells us how being in an ashram away from a family doesn’t mean he is at a distance with real-life problems that people go through.
He gives us precious insights on how there are two things when it comes to being in the ashram, the first being there are around 80 monks living together and the second being how the essence of all relationships is the same. The principles of relationships are love, acceptance, tolerance and giving respect while maintaining yours.
The Indian monk, Gaur Gopal Das also shared about his childhood and upbringing in Pune and how he decided on a monastic path. He took a sneak peek into monastic life with a story behind his saffron clothing and Sattvic diet. While enjoying his Sattvic Sunday brunch, he plays the 5 seconds rapid fire. Oh, and it was fun and ALSO gave us invaluable insight into life and relationships! The witty and cool monk of India was quick in his answers and took less than 2 seconds to answer it all!
