A Sneak Peak Into Guruji’s Morning
In the interview, Gaur Gopal Das tells us that his morning starts as early as 3:30 am! His day starts with an early morning shower with a peaceful meditation to connect to nature and soul every day. He chants and worships for an hour to two hours making up his time till 7 am in the morning already! While most of the world is still asleep this monk already has done most of what everyone does in a day only till 7 am.
No wonder he is the coolest monk, Guruji weight trains in the following part of his day. His trainer comes at 7:30 am in the morning to work out! Not yoga, not cardio… but weight training. He really is a monk with a difference!
