2. Swami Beyondananda
Swami Beyondananda is the Guru in the ancient art of Foo Ling - using yoga jokes and laughter as a tool to enlighten up.
When laughter leads to breakthrough moments, Swami calls these moments - Fool-Realization.
Just recently, he kicked off his new Swami for Precedent campaign: “We need a new precedent,” the Swami says, “because if we only do things the way we’ve always done them, we will only get what we’ve always gotten. Choose a new precedent, and a new President will follow.”
Boddhisattva is someone who became fully enlightened in their past life, and, instead of staying in a higher more spiritual plane of existence, decided to come back to the Earthly plane to help others advance on their spiritual path.
