Unwavering Focus

Dandapani teaches how the mind works as he was taught in the monastery by his guru. Then, he teaches you how to concentrate, as opposed to just telling you to do so. Finally, he teaches you how to develop willpower, the mental muscle you can use to help you stay focused. His pragmatic exercises for actually practicing concentration throughout the day help you develop a sustainable state of focus.

Life's purpose

Dandapani started speaking about this topic when he discovered that many people in his audience had no idea what their purpose was in life. In fact, most of them never even considered the concept of having a purpose in life. As Dandapani points out so clearly, most of our day is (or at least should be) driven by purpose. From the mundane to the important, from the habitual to the occasional, all tasks have a purpose. So shouldn't life have a purpose as well? When you are clear on your purpose...
