Churning the Ocean of Existence

Goswami Kriyananda lectures about the deeper meanings of the Hindu creation myth, The Churning of the Ocean of Milk. “It’s all, mystically speaking, symbolic psychology,” says Kriyananda. “It has to do with us and our minds.” The body is nothing but a frozen part of our mind, Kriyananda explains. We need to study the ancient and living religions to understand how we got where we are, how we’re going to get out of it, and how to separate the poison from our immortality.

This Hindu creation myth, on a deep level, is symbolic psychology and has to do with us and our minds.
