Brain & Its Role in Consciousness

In this insightful and divine Satsang from Pujya Sadhvi Bhagawati Saraswatiji’s recent visit to Govind Das & Radha’s Bhakti Yoga Shala in Santa Monica, CA, she brilliantly explains the relationship between the brain – the physical – and consciousness. In order to be conscious of one’s consciousness, she says, the brain is essential.

Consciousness exists, Truth exists, the Divine exists, Love exists – all of that exists. And, is totally independent of our ability to interact with it. God is there whether you are enlightened or not, the light is there whether you open your curtains or not. But, you are only able to experience that, interact with that, be conscious of that, through the brain.
