The United States National Institute of Health is the world's largest funder of biomedical research, but it has cut about half of the more than 1,200 grants that its umbrella agency, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services — now led by long-time vaccine skeptic Robert F. Kennedy Jr. — said it has terminated. The cuts have hit researchers in Universities across the nation hard. Joining us to discuss their research, the impact and the implications are Dr Nisha Acharya, a UCSF ophthalmology professor, who has been researching the effects of a shingles vaccine on shingles of the eye. Dr Acharya's research funding has been cut to the tune of $1.8 million. We're also joined by Dr Diana Foster, an Oakland-based UCSF researcher, whose work explores effects of state-level abortion bans on women. Her research was funded by a $2.5 million five year grant, that was cut after just 6 months of work. — Subscribe to this podcast: https://plinkhq.com/i/1637968343?to=page Get in touch: lawanddisorder@kpfa.org Follow us on socials @LawAndDis: https://twitter.com/LawAndDis; https://www.instagram.com/lawanddis/ The post DOGE's NIH Cuts Hit Science Researchers w/ Dr Nisha Acharya & Dr Diana Foster appeared first on KPFA.

The root of human suffering lies in the illusion of separation—the belief that we are isolated beings confined to the body and mind. This illusion fuels fear, longing, and the endless pursuit of external security. But through self-inquiry and spiritual awakening, we come to recognize the deeper truth: we are not separate but united with the infinite, unchanging essence of divine love. By embracing our connection to the whole, we find a love that is boundless, a peace that is unwavering, and a joy that is beyond all suffering.

Sadhana is a daily spiritual practice that involves using your body, mind, and emotions to achieve well-being and enlightenment. Sadhana is not about seeking enlightenment but surrendering to love and the Infinite One. For the mind alone cannot know the Infinite One. As your conscious awareness moves from the mind to the heart, and love is awakened, the love brings you to what is truly your home. Your mind cannot contain the complexity of the cosmic mind, but your heart can know God. The focus is to meditate upon the great, to surrender everything that you have known, or understood as your own into the Infinite One.  If you want the direct experience of Brahman, you must open your heart, surrender everything, and allow Divine Love. There is no separation. If you let go, Cosmic Love is within you. Your very form, your ideas, your thoughts, your existence is all within God. All is composed of God. There is no separation. What Is God? God is everywhere, in everyone, & in everything.

Love means different things to different people. The love of the Infinite One, Parama Purusha, is unconditional. What does it mean to love unconditionally? Unconditional love wants nothing in return. It doesn't ask anything of you. If you really want to be close to God, if you really want to feel the Divine near you, you will need to cultivate the type of love that is unconditional.  About  Maetreyii Ma Nolan, Ph.D. Maetreyii Ma Nolan, Ph.D., is an award-winning author, spiritual teacher, and psychologist, expert in consciousness and holistic healing.

The lineage of Ashtanga has always been a living tradition carried forward by devoted practitioners. But what happens when the Guru who once held the lineage are no longer present? Without an Acharya to guide us, the responsibility shifts to each of us – to show up, to practice, and to nurture the teachings within ourselves. And it's not about perfection or mastery. It's about presence. The simple act of stepping onto the mat, even amidst doubt or difficulty, keeps the fire of the tradition alive. Through practice, we honor not only the teachers who came before but also the community and future generations who will carry the lineage forward. Perhaps the greatest contribution we can make is to trust in the practice itself. By staying consistent and cultivating fertile ground within, we allow the teachings to flourish ensuring their vitality for years to come.   Start the journey now with your free 30-day membership on Omstars.com.

You are part of a divine network of life of many living beings who all seek love: a love that transcends thoughts, species, and differences between human beings. True spirituality is not complex; it's simple. It's as simple as a moment of love: looking into the eyes of a loved one, sharing a moment of love with another living being. In this Baba Talk, I'll talk about conscious awareness and how you do not exist just in this body, in this mind. You exist in all beings, in all of love. When you live in the connectedness of all life, you realize that there is a unity to life that all beings are your friends. The simplest of animals, the plants, the trees, the flowers, other people, they are all part of your own self. They are part of the infinite whole of life. There is no difference between you and all of those. You are of the same nature. Though your manifestations may be very different, your essence is one, and the search for that wholeness of essential being, that wholeness of love, is a universal phenomenon.

Prabhupāda has said that the Acharya, the guru, the śāstra, can give us hints for advancing in spiritual life, but we have to do the work. There's another related point to determination and effort. You may have a good lineage of gurus, and the śāstra is always there, but we're the ones who have to apply it. A couple of other points are: practice while you have the chance; if not now, when? And I think it was Akshina Maṅgala this morning who noticed that sometimes the doors for the deities close sooner than you think. It's like, 'Oh, I'm just getting Darśana for two seconds,' and all of a sudden the door closes. We don't know when the door closes for us at any time. So, it's good to take advantage of every opportunity. And the other point Prabhupāda makes is that we have to be aware that we have to fly solo at some point. Just as when we're studying to fly in an airplane and we have an instructor there, but at some point, you have to take your solo flight. And Prabhupāda relates to the point about how it comes down to our own individual determination and effort, that we actually have to make the effort to do it and be prepared, because it'll come down to our determination that we've developed from our practice.

There is 'Sathya' in Bhagawan's name not because He always speaks the Truth but because what He speaks is the Truth. He is indeed Truth personified. Sometimes when He says something, it might seem completely contrary to our understanding of the situation. But when one dwells deep and prays sincerely for guidance, the Lord does bestow on us the right understanding so that we can decipher his message for us in the right way and then take corrective action which will take us closer to Him. Neeraj Acharya, an alumnus of Bhagawan's university who also had the chance to work in the Sri Sathya Sai Central Trust for over 17 years, in this episode of OMS, recalls one such life-changing interaction with Bhagawan that not only taught him the true meaning of Bhagawan's saying - "I give you what you want so that you may want what I truly want to give you", but also filled him with great peace, contentment and gratitude when he realised how the Divine Master had so beautifully transformed one of his little shortcomings into a blessing and a boon. OMS' is an 'Oh My Sai' series wherein we plan to offer 100 such OMS videos as we march towards Bhagawan's 100th Birthday to be celebrated on Nov 23, 2025.

Sanskrit terminology has been slowly creeping into common usage outside of India, quite often incorrectly. Yoga, for example, has a widely understood meaning outside of India, which doesn't reflect the actual meaning of the word. In this episode, Thom explains the meaning behind many of the titles applied to or bestowed upon various positions within the Vedic realm. You'll learn the definitions for titles such as swami, yogi, yogini, and guru and understand the true meaning of these terms.Episode Highlights:[00:45] Umbrella Terms[02:22] Acharya[04:04] The Figurative Meaning[05:59] The Connotative Meaning[06:32] Grihasta and Grihasti[09:15] Vanaprasta and Vanaprasti[12:04] Sannyasz[15:58] Yogi[16:57] Guru[17:44] Mahamandaleshwar, Swami and Akhara[20:51] Maharaj[23:37] Pandit or Pundit[24:50] Maharishi, Maharishika[26:50] Satguru or Sadguru[28:43] Sadhu, Saddhaka, Saddhaki[30:03] Shishya or Shishyi[30:03] Swami[32:01] Yogi, Yogini and YogaUseful Linksinfo@thomknoles.com https://thomknoles.com/https://www.instagram.com/thethomknoleshttps://www.facebook.com/thethomknoleshttps://www.youtube.com/c/thomknoleshttps://thomknoles.com/ask-thom-anything/
