Recently, we've been having some discussions around the finer, more esoteric ideas around mantra sādhanā from the very refined manuals and exegetical works of the 10th and 11th masters of classical Tantra like Maheśvarānanda & Abhinava Gupta and others. In How Mantra Works & My Favorite Śakti Mantra we explained mantra-sādhanā in a properly śaktādvaita (non-dual) context and then extended from there in Kālī Gāyatrī Mantra | & How To Use Mantras to consider how the mantra can then be applied in a more traditional ritualistic, contemplative and meditative context (which Abhinavācharya might call "ānavopaya" or what we might recognize as more exoteric, mainstream Tāntrik sādhanā). In this class, we turn to an even finer and subtler approach regarding mantra which considers the phonemic foundations to make a claim about how bījā mantras are formed. Most of this material appears in Abhinava's Chapter III of the Tantrāloka & Tantrasāra but the precedent for this is in primary sources like the Nandikeśvara Tantra and even the Maheśvara Sutras from Pāninī which offer very early analysis on Sanskrit phonemes and the logic around how mantras arise and how they work. Once we do this kind of deconstruction (or rather, once we understand things at this level of resolution which arguable is the closest zoom in to mantra sādhana we've ever done together) we should be able to see how all sounds are mantras and how all words, in all languages can not just be empowered as mantras and used accordingly but also how they can be recognized to be inherent mantra whose meaning is Consciousness, i.e You.Hit Me Up xSupport the showLectures happen live every Monday at 7pm PST and again at Friday 11am PST Use this link and I will see you there:https://www.zoom.us/j/7028380815For more videos, guided meditations and instruction and for access to our lecture library, visit me at:https://www.patreon.com/yogawithnishTo get in on the discussion and access various spiritual materials, join our Discord here: https://discord.gg/U8zKP8yMrM

What if I told you that after focal therapy, a normal PSA and a clean MRI can still mean prostate cancer is hiding in plain sight?That's the moment in this conversation that makes you stop—and rethink everything you've been told about “success” after focal therapy.In this episode, we're joined by Abhinav Sidana, MD, MPH, Associate Professor of Urology and Director of Prostate Cancer at University of Chicago Medicine, a nationally recognized urologic oncologist, clinical trial leader, and one of the architects shaping the future of focal therapy. Dr. Sidana has trained at AIIMS, Johns Hopkins, NIH, and now leads one of the most rigorous focal therapy programs in the country—backed by over 100 peer-reviewed publications and multiple active clinical trials.This is not a sales pitch for focal therapy. It's a clear-eyed look at what works, what doesn't, and what we still get wrong.In this episode, you'll learn:✅ Why MRI made focal therapy possible—and why it can still miss clinically significant disease✅ How biopsy strategy—fusion, mapping, or transperineal—directly affects recurrence risk✅ Why PSA is an unreliable signal after focal therapy—and what actually predicts failure✅ How short-term ADT may expand focal therapy to larger or higher-risk tumorsIf you're a patient, clinician, or researcher navigating prostate cancer decisions, this episode will fundamentally sharpen how you think about focal therapy—and its limits.00:00 Can MRI and PSA Miss Significant Cancer After Focal Therapy?04:00 Who Is a Good Candidate for Focal Therapy?06:30 Mapping Biopsies vs MRI Fusion Biopsies09:30 Transperineal vs Transrectal Biopsies11:00 What Is IRE (NanoKnife)?14:30 Who Is NOT a Candidate for Focal Therapy?18:00 Vapor Therapy & TULSA Pro23:00 Should Doctors Use Multiple Focal Therapy Technologies?25:30 Can Higher-Risk Prostate Cancer Be Treated with Focal Therapy?34:00 Does the Type of Energy Matter?37:00 Combining ADT with Focal Therapy40:30 How Tumor Size Impacts Eligibility45:30 Why MRI and PSA Are Imperfect After Treatment49:30 What Is PSA Recurrence After Focal Therapy?53:30 The Future of MRI, AI, and Surveillance57:30 Do Patients Need Repeat Biopsies Forever?___________________________________

What do you do when metastatic urothelial cancer responds dramatically to systemic therapy? In this episode of BackTable Urology, Dr. Abhinav Khanna (Mayo Clinic) speaks with host Dr. Daniel Roberson about the growing question of consolidative surgery after enfortumab vedotin plus pembrolizumab. They discuss how EV-pembro has reshaped treatment expectations, why unexpected complete or near-complete responses are prompting tumor board debates about cystectomy, and how careful multidisciplinary decision-making guides which patients may be considered for surgery. --- SYNPOSIS The conversation reviews early outcomes showing high rates of pathologic downstaging and the possibility that many patients may avoid additional systemic therapy after surgery, while emphasizing this approach is not yet standard of care. Dr. Khanna highlights coordination with medical oncology, radiology, and pathology, postoperative considerations, and the potential future role of biomarkers such as ctDNA. Ultimately, the episode underscores the need for clinical trials and thoughtful patient selection as clinicians navigate integrating surgery into an evolving systemic therapy landscape. --- TIMESTAMPS 00:00 - Introduction02:19 - The Evolution of Urothelial Carcinoma Treatment05:23 - Rationale for Consolidative Surgery12:32 - Patient Selection Criteria15:23 - Surgical Approach and Considerations23:58 - Pathologic Findings31:34 - The Role of Radiation39:38 - Biomarkers44:10 - Prospective Trials and Future Directions53:06 - Guidance for Urologists --- RESOURCES Consolidative Surgery for Advanced Urothelial Carcinoma Following Induction Enfortumab Vedotin and/or Immune Checkpoint Inhibitor Therapy: A Multicenter Analysishttps://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40425390/ Enfortumab Vedotin and Pembrolizumab in Untreated Advanced Urothelial Cancerhttps://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMoa2312117 Standard or Extended Lymphadenectomy for Muscle-Invasive Bladder Cancerhttps://www.nejm.org/doi/abs/10.1056/NEJMoa2401497

Sleep “vigilante” and physician Dr. Abhinav Singh is an expert on the importance of maintaining a healthy sleep pattern. As 2026 kicks off, the busyness of the oncoming year makes sleep more of a priority than ever! Why do we deprive ourselves of sleep? Why do we wake up sluggish and exhausted? Since the advent of the lightbulb, it has become easier to stay up later and deny ourselves of meaningful, needed sleep. “Unfortunately, tiredness is always going to be a trophy in our culture,” says Dr. Singh. Our bodies were designed to work during the day and sleep at night. We must maintain a routine sleeping pattern and get at least 7-8 hours of rest every day to maintain great health. Don't underestimate the power of a good night's sleep. Give yourself the needed time to rest and renew your body every night.TAKEAWAYSSelf-inflicted sleep loss is a big problem in modern culture, however, better sleep equals better healthUsing smartphones or tablets late at night can disrupt our melatonin level and circadian rhythm and inhibit our ability to fall asleepDon't ignore snoring or sleep apnea - seek medical help and address the root of the problemExcessive screen time can reduce your body's melatonin production

Postman began as a side project by Abhinav Asthana and his two co-founders, and turned into the most widely adopted API collaboration platform, used by millions of developers worldwide. In this conversation, Abhinav breaks down why developer feedback matters more than early paywalls, how “just ship” beat long strategy decks, and why he's still bullish on San Francisco. We cover raising capital without making it the point, scaling from three founders to ~850 people across 20+ countries, and the hard lessons of hiring—and replacing—leaders as a company grows. Plus: Factorio, parenting, and what it really means to build “developer-first.” Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

This week, host Avdhesh Kumar is joined by Newslaundry's Sumedha Mittal, BBC's Abhinav Goel and reporter Akansha Kumar. Abhinav presents an in-depth report on the true death toll of the Mahakumbh Mela tragedy that happened in January. While the Uttar Pradesh government has officially acknowledged 37 deaths due to the stampede, BBC's investigation has uncovered at least 82 fatalities so far. Despite government promises, many of the victims' families have yet to receive the promised compensation.Akansha uncovers allegations of police impunity in Kaushambi in Uttar Pradesh. Her deep dive into police encounters in Uttar Pradesh reveal chilling accounts from families who lost loved ones in suspected extrajudicial killings.Several families allege that police not only carried out unlawful encounters but also attempted to silence them with bribes. Many of these encounters took place in the same location: Goonghwa Ka Bagh in Kaushambi. Affected families are running from pillar to post in their fight for justice and accountability.Meanwhile, Sumedha brings a sharply different story from Delhi.

Like other peers, India has increasingly started focusing on securing critical minerals for its energy and industrial sectors. From lithium and cobalt to rare earth elements, these minerals are essential for clean technologies like batteries, solar panels, and wind turbines. As the world races to secure these resources, India is looking to position itself strategically. But, how big is India's mining sector today, and how much could it grow in response to rising global demand? Can India realistically find its space when China and the West are in a geopolitical race for critical minerals? What does India's evolving critical minerals policy look like, and who are the major players – especially state-owned enterprises?To help us unpack these questions, we speak with Abhinav Sengupta, energy and mining expert who brings deep insights into India's policy and industrial strategy around critical minerals.Full transcript of the episode is available in EnglishPresented by 101Reporters Abhinav Sengupta is on LinkedInFollow TIEH podcast on Twitter, Linkedin & YouTubeOur hosts, Shreya Jai on Twitter, Linkedin & Dr. Sandeep Pai on Twitter, Linkedin

This episode is VERY important if you are a restaurant Owner or Manager!! Abhinav Founded a company called Bikky, based around his mother in laws (who owns a restaurant) need to market and thank the right people for eating at her restaurant. What he created was a solution to identify who your guest is, and what their behaviors will tell you. I would guess 99% of local, independent restaurants do not use this, and would benefit greatly. The problem is, there is SO MUCH DATA, that only chains really take full advantage as they have the staff to take the information and put it to use. I content that this is why chains flourish, and local restaurants close at an alarming rate. Watch as Crystal De Luna-Bogan and Brandon Styll ask the questions that matter to most small restaurant Owners. We always think it's a compliment when the guest says" that was fun, I haven't been asked those questions before" The actual interview with Abhinav starts at the 19 minute mark.
Abhinav Kapur is the Co-Founder & CEO of Bikky, a customer data analytics platform that helps multi-unit restaurants understand the frequency and lifetime value of their guests. In this episode, we'll talk about how Bikky is threading the needle between various data silos, how it helps operators understand guest retention, and the future of personalized loyalty.
