MMP Talks (25) : "Monks and the Inner Battle" - Keshava Maharaj Swami
In the vast tapestry of life, Keshava Maharaj emerges as a radiant thread, weaving together wisdom, compassion, and boundless spirituality. His journey, a symphony of enlightenment and service, exemplifies the transformative power of dedication and self-discovery. Having embarked on his quest for truth after earning a prestigious BSc in Information Management from UCL in 2002, Keshava Maharaj chose the path of full-time monastic life. This pivotal decision marked the beginning of a profound odyssey—a journey of profound learning, spiritual expansion, and global outreach. For over two decades, Keshava Maharaj has been a revered resident monk at Bhaktivedanta Manor, a sacred sanctuary nestled in the heart of the UK, generously gifted by the legendary George Harrison from the famous Beatles band. Within these hallowed walls, he has not only nurtured the School of Bhakti but has also spearheaded transformative monastic training programs and visionary national outreach initiatives. A prolific creator, Keshava Maharaj has sculpted a legacy of enlightenment through his myriad courses on Vedic theology, holistic lifestyle management, and spiritual evolution. His ten illuminating books serve as beacons of ancient wisdom, guiding seekers on their journey of self-discovery amidst the complexities of modernity. In 2022, Keshava Maharaj embraced a new chapter in his spiritual journey, embracing vows of lifetime renunciation and assuming the mantle of a renounced traveling teacher of Krishna Consciousness. Now, as he graces the MMP Talks platform, we are honored to be enveloped in the divine aura of his wisdom. Join us as Keshava Maharaj shares his profound insights on the fusion of martial arts and the inner battles, the monastic path, igniting the flames of inspiration and guiding us towards a higher state of consciousness. In his presence, we are reminded of our innate potential to transcend limitations and embrace the boundless expanse of spiritual growth.

MMP Talks (22) : "Temper Your Temper" - James Mbowa (Student's Edition)
IT Specialist and Martial Artist
When James started his martial arts journey, he had a "fire in his belly." Young, hot tempered, angry and filled with resentment, made it difficult for him to see the "wood for the trees" at times. A small indifference of opinion would light his explosive charge, blinding his judgement and often leading to detriment and danger.
Through practicing martial arts, James learnt how to "temper his temper." Martial arts helped him turn his life around, so he could start to live in the present, enjoy his life in peace and harmony, and develop a successful career and property business.
