    [instrumental music] Good morning everybody, and welcome. Good morning. We are very privileged to welcome today our smiling swami, Swami Anubhavanandaji. He is a Parivrajak, a wandering monk who travels the world through- throughout the year, spreading his message, "Be happy." [laughs] Additionally, he has written many books on Vedanta, and is known as the smiling swami due to his joyful and loving nature. The topic of his talk today is Being Without Becoming. Swamiji, thank you for coming. Am I audible to all? Last, the sleeping giants? [laughs] Good. Those of you who know the happy mantra chant. Those of you who do not know, pretend that you are chanting.
