I live in the Ashram, heaven on earth. I felt this way when living with my Baba. His India Ashram was heavenly. At 3 am, I walked by night-blooming jasmine to get to the meditation hall, along pathways with sacred statues in every corner. Yet it was his presence that made it heavenly. We sat with him as he moved his amber mala, doing japa for all of us.  My mind flowed with mantra-virya, the mantric energy he emanated.

What Kind of God Do You Actually Believe In?

People often ask Swami a very specific question: "What kind of God do you believe in?" But in truth, they aren't just asking for a name. They are asking about the fundamental nature of the "type" of God he believes in.Today, modern seekers are often forced into a frustrating dilemma. As the famed historian Yuval Noah Harari points out, society seems to present us with only two options: the "Mystery God" (a vague, unknowable cosmic energy that asks nothing of us) or the "Lawgiver God" (a petty cosmic dictator obsessed with micromanaging our daily lives and punishing our mistakes).It is completely understandable why so many people — including Harari himself — run away from the Lawgiver God. When religion is used to control or oppress, rejecting it is a profound survival mechanism. Hence the rise of the "spiritual but not religious" movement.But is this a false choice? In our justified rush to escape this "Cosmic Dictator", have we accidentally over-corrected into a state of personal comfort and complacency masquerading as spirituality and "seeking"?In this video, Swami deconstructs this potential ego trap. We explore the lost etymology of the word "religion" and its connection to yoga, and we look at how the Bhagavad Gita offers a solution to Harari's false binary. It presents God not as a giver of absolute laws backed by the threat of eternal damnation, but rather as an offerer of a user manual for our consciousness, backed by the endless patience , mercy and love that we all intuitively associate with the true figure of God.Connect with the Community:

In this episode, Swami Revatikaanta sits down with Sarvamohini Dasi (Kristina Margolin) to discuss the role of numerology and astrology in understanding our nature and purpose.In this personal discussion, Sarvamohini Dasi opens up about her realization that while these ancient sciences can explain the patterns of our lives, they cannot fully satisfy the heart's ultimate desire for divine love. We discuss what it means to honor these tools that help us navigate this world, while ultimately giving our hearts to the spiritual practice that takes us beyond it—a graduation that led her to the shelter of Paramahamsa Vishwananda and the path of pure Bhakti.Connect with the Community:

Mathilde Lerède : La question de ma vie : c'est quoi l'Amour ?

Mathilde Lerède est une jeune femme qui, à l'image de la plupart de ses contemporains comme de tous ceux qui entrent dans la vie, se pose la question fondamentale de ce qu'est l'amour. La différence, à l'image ici de plus en plus de jeunes qui ne trouvent plus de sens dans une société à bout de souffle, c'est qu'elle a choisi de trouver la réponse à cette question en y conformant sa vie.Rapidement, Mathilde s'est rendu compte que les études qu'elle avait choisies ne la menaient pas à la communication comme elle en avait rêvé. Fidèle à sa quête et à un idéal qui se rapproche de l'art, de la philosophie et de la communion entre les hommes et les femmes, habitée par une conscience écologique exigeante, elle est allée à la découverte d'autres cultures.Mathilde a vécu l'expérience de deux voyages marquants – l'Amérique latine et l'Inde – et la rencontre avec Amma lors d'une de ses venues en France, avant d'aller séjourner régulièrement dans son Ashram au Kerala.Après s'être formée à l'Ayurveda, tout en menant pendant un temps des activités de communication auprès d'entreprises, elle a développé une pratique de soin et d'accompagnement. Aujourd'hui, c'est ce service qu'elle intensifie, pour aider des hommes et des femmes à découvrir l'harmonie intérieure, autant spirituelle que psychologique et corporelle.Du cœur de la Bretagne, dans le petit village où elle vit, non loin de Lizio, la terre du Poète Ferrailleur qu'elle connaît bien (Zeteo #374), Mathilde offre le témoignage inspirant d'une femme innovante et courageuse. Avec elle, la quête d'amour n'est plus une chimère espérée vaguement, elle s'incarne dans un quotidien proche des autres, de la nature et des grandes figures spirituelles qui l'éclairent, de François d'Assise à Amma.Comme Mathilde, Laura (Zeteo #391) ou Sixte (Zeteo #393), une multitude d'acteurs du monde nouveau sont déjà à l'œuvre, notamment chez les plus jeunes qui, avec audace et générosité, inventent une société meilleure qui, lentement, patiemment, mais sûrement, est en train de sauver la nôtre.Pour découvrir le site internet de Mathilde Lerède, cliquer ici.Le compte Instagram de Mathilde : cliquer ici.--------------     APPEL AUX DONS, POUR TRAVERSER L'ÉTÉNous sommes au cœur de l'été, qui est tellement surprenant cette année avec sa chaleur inhabituelle.

Mont Royal Resources (ASX:MRZ) - Ashram Rare Earths Project PEA Delivers C$2B NPV, 22% Post-Tax IRR

Interview with Nicholas Holthouse, MD of Mont Royal ResourcesOur previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/mont-royal-resources-asxmrz-ashram-pea-nears-as-capex-slashed-50-and-fluorspar-upside-emerges-10160Recording date: 8th July 2026Mont Royal Resources Limited (ASX:MRZ, TSXV:MRZL) has used the past month to substantiate its case as a scale rare earths developer positioned to help address Western critical minerals supply gaps. The centrepiece is an updated Preliminary Economic Assessment for the company's 100%-owned Ashram Rare Earths and Fluorspar Project in Nunavik, Québec, released and followed by the formal NI 43-101 Technical Report required under Canadian disclosure rules.The updated PEA confirms Ashram as a 30-year, large-scale development. On a post-tax basis, the project delivers an NPV8 of C$2.03 billion, an IRR of 22.0%, and payback of 3.9 years from the start of production; pre-tax figures are stronger, at C$3.44 billion NPV8 and 25.6% IRR. Life-of-mine revenue is forecast at C$24.6 billion, with EBITDA of C$15.5 billion (a 62.7% margin), driven by average annual production of approximately 17,466 tonnes of saleable rare earth oxide, including roughly 4,035 tonnes of NdPr oxide. Initial capital expenditure is estimated at C$1.23 billion, including a 30% contingency, with the Company also anticipating C$342 million in refundable Clean Technology Manufacturing tax credits.The updated Mineral Resource Estimate totals 204.3Mt (73.2Mt Indicated at 1.89% TREO and 131.1Mt Inferred at 1.91% TREO), with the mine plan drawing on only around 25% of that base over its 30-year life leaving room for future expansion, including the currently excluded BD-Zone. NdPr, the primary magnet metal pairing, represents approximately 21% of the resource's total rare earth oxide content, a distribution that positions Ashram to supply the higher-value end of the rare earth basket into markets forecast to grow at 8-12% annually through 2050.Beyond the economic study, Mont Royal is managing two other active workstreams. First, the company acknowledged an independent, Nation-led initiative from the Naskapi Nation of Kawawachikamach to evaluate potential regional access corridor options, a process Mont Royal says it respects but does not control, running in parallel to its own engagement with Inuit, Naskapi and Innu communities on Ashram-related infrastructure. Second, the company's 75%-owned Northern Lights Minerals project is undergoing a helicopter-supported gold till-sampling survey across the Chateaufort Property, targeting ground directly along strike from Benz Mining's 1,005,000oz Eastmain gold deposit, with preliminary data expected in August 2026 and a full report in Q3.For investors, the key considerations are straightforward. On the positive side: a resource base and NdPr distribution that stack up well against global peers, PEA economics that clear the bar for progression to Pre-Feasibility Study, and access to Canadian government funding support, including the anticipated tax credit allocation. On the risk side: the PEA carries a ±50% accuracy range typical of scoping-level studies, no off-take agreements or committed financing are yet in place against the roughly C$1.23 billion initial capital requirement, and the assumed third-party access-road cost model has not yet been formalised into an infrastructure agreement. Permitting is expected to take several years given the project's location within federally and provincially regulated territory under the James Bay and Northern Québec Agreement.The Company has targeted the second half of 2026 for the start of Pre-Feasibility Study work, alongside continued permitting, environmental baseline studies, and strategic partnership discussions as the next set of milestones to track.View Mont Royal Resources' company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/mont-royal-resources Sign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

What if your pain could become a doorway to divine love? Many people experience a deep sense of peace during meditation, prayer, or spiritual practice—but then struggle with anxiety, grief, loneliness, anger, or loss in everyday life. How do these difficult experiences fit into a spiritual path? In this Baba Talk, Maetreyii Ma explores the meaning of tantra, revealing Tantra as the transmutation of life's experiences. Rather than rejecting pain, Tantra teaches us how to transform it. Every emotion, challenge, and life circumstance can become an opportunity for spiritual awakening, deeper understanding, and connection with the Divine. Learn how to: ✨ Transform pain into divine love ✨ Work with grief, anger, loneliness, and loss in a spiritual way ✨ Understand the true meaning of Tantra beyond common misconceptions ✨ Experience spiritual awakening through everyday challenges ✨ See everyday experiences as part of your spiritual journey ✨ Bring spiritual wisdom into daily life through right understanding and expanded love Through timeless teachings from Yoga philosophy, Maetreyii Ma explains how Tantra is an alchemical process that transforms the ordinary into the sacred, the crude into the subtle, and suffering into wisdom. When we learn to accept and transmute life's challenges, we discover that nothing is separate from the Divine. If you have ever wondered, "What is tantra?", or sought a path that helps you transform pain into divine love, this talk offers profound yet practical guidance for everyday spiritual living.

What if the sense of separation you feel is not the truth of who you are? Most people spend their lives searching for happiness, love, and a feeling of belonging. Yet beneath all of those desires is a deeper longing: the desire to remember our connection to something greater than ourselves. In this Baba Talk by Maetreyii Ma, explore the journey back to oneness and discover why the peace you seek has never been outside of you. Drawing from Yoga philosophy, this teaching reveals how the belief in separation creates fear, loneliness, and struggle—and how awakening to your true nature brings freedom. You are not separate. The infinite within you is the same presence that lives within every person, every creature, and all of creation. As this understanding deepens, spiritual awakening becomes more than an idea—it becomes a living experience. This talk explores: • Why the heart longs for wholeness • The illusion of separation • The deeper meaning of love, lover, and beloved • How embracing compassion and kindness transforms your life • The connection between consciousness, unity, and inner peace Through timeless spiritual wisdom, you are invited to see yourself—and the world—in a new way: not as isolated individuals, but as expressions of one infinite reality.

 What kind of relationship problems do we face?If every argument makes you want to break up, your trauma is talking.When your partner upsets you, your brain immediately jumps to ending the relationship.  That reaction comes from unhealed emotional wounds, not the actual severity of the problem.You depend too heavily on their responses, expecting them to perfectly meet your emotional needs every single time.  You want instant replies when you are excited, immediate comfort when you are sad.  When they fall short, the disappointment feels crushing, and running away seems like the only option.You avoid conflict because you never learned how to navigate it.People with secure attachment face relationship problems differently.  They stay and say, “Let's work through this.”But when you have been hurt before, every small issue feels like touching an open wound.  So your instinct is to flee, to end it, believing that is the only way to protect yourself.The “cut your losses” mindset online makes this worse.  He doesn't text back fast enough, so you assume he doesn't care.  A minor disagreement becomes a dealbreaker.But often, you are just giving up too quickly.All of these problems fit me, and through awareness, therapy, and meditation, I was able to solve them.  If I could do that, you can do it too.My childhood was very traumatic. From the beginning, I stayed the first three months in quarantine… With my childhood, I was the worst case in every therapy group.---1. AwarenessFirst, you need awareness when something is going wrong. Without awareness, you can't solve any problem.We all have blind spots. Invite a friend (or friends) or let them listen through your cell phone when you have an argument.  Then ask your friend what went wrong. You want an honest answer that can help you stop repeating the same issue.All relationship problems are connected to your childhood — there is no exception.Get a therapist to release the traumas that are driving your relationship problems.---2. No rigid “rights”From the beginning, it was — and still is — absolutely ridiculous to me to demand your rights.  “If I do the housework, you do the garden work…” This will never ever work out.For people like me, I don't care if I have to work more. For lazy people, it's a big issue to empty the garbage.  In our Ashram, we learned — and everybody should learn — to do every work without complaints. Finish. You got it.---3. No ego tripWhat is your ego trip? Or your life standards that don't fit your partner?  In every situation, ask yourself: “Is this an ego trip?” Or: “Does my behavior serve my relationship?”  If not, adapt.Your task should be to serve, instead of to demand.---4.

How can we reconcile the miracles of different, seemingly contradictory religions? If they all claim to be the only truth, who is lying? For the atheist, if every religion claims exclusive miracles that contradict each other, the most logical conclusion is that they are all making it up. The typical religious response, claiming our miracles are from God and theirs are from the devil (or just fake), is intellectually unsatisfying and only fuels tribalism.In this episode Swami Revatikaanta challenges these positions through the Hindu lens by asking the questions, “What if God is truly universal? What if He responds to the sincere longing of a person's heart, rather than the theological accuracy of their institution?” He opposes the typical apologist response from Frank Turek and grounds Alex O'Connor's expectation of compassionate reciprocation from God in a Vedic framework. Drawing on the profound, macro-level vision of the Bhagavad Gita and the Rig Veda, Swami explores how Sanatana Dharma solves this dilemma without invalidating anyone's profound personal experiences.Connect with the Community:

Viveka and Viragya: Why Unconditional Love Leads to True Detachment

The Babatalk's Podcast

What if true detachment doesn't come from pulling away from life—but from loving more deeply? Many spiritual seekers believe detachment means shutting down emotions, avoiding attachments, or withdrawing from the world. But the ancient teachings of Viveka and Viragya point to something very different. In this Baba Talk by Maetreyii Ma, discover how true detachment arises naturally through unconditional love, right understanding, and surrender to the Infinite. Learn why real Viragya is not a cold or distant state, but the result of seeing yourself in all beings and all beings in yourself. This profound teaching explores the relationship between Viveka (spiritual discernment) and Viragya (detachment), revealing how self-realization, spiritual awakening, and nondualism transform the way we experience love, suffering, success, loss, and everyday life. Whether you live as a monk, a spiritual seeker, or a householder with family and responsibilities, this talk offers practical wisdom for opening the heart while letting go of the illusion of separation. In this video: • What Viveka and Viragya really mean • Why unconditional love leads to true detachment • The difference between false detachment and spiritual freedom • How spiritual awakening changes your relationship with life • The role of self-realization in expanding love beyond the individual self • Why nondualism naturally leads to compassion and surrender • How to remain centered through pleasure, pain, gain, and loss If you are seeking deeper peace, greater love, and a direct path toward self-realization, this teaching offers a powerful perspective on the nature of the Self and the Infinite.

What if nothing in your life is truly separate—not you, not others, not the world around you? This teaching explores the deep truth that we are not separate and that everything is Brahma. Through the wisdom of Yoga philosophy and non-dualism, we are guided to see that all of creation is one living presence called Brahma or Brahman. As spiritual awakening unfolds, the mind begins to soften its belief in separation. We start to realize that joy, sorrow, love, and struggle are all movements within the same infinite reality. Nothing is outside of it. This talk helps us understand how spiritual awakening is not about becoming something new, but remembering what has always been true: there is only the One, and that One appears as everything. In this Baba Talk by Maetreyii Ma, ancient teachings are shared in a simple and direct way so anyone can understand the deeper meaning of Yoga philosophy and non-dualism in daily life. Over time, we begin to feel a quiet shift: we are not separate from Brahma, from life, or from love itself.

ONCE UPON A time in India, a man lived. He would go on to become one of the most influential thinkers in new-age thought, but at this time — the early 1960s — he was merely a philosophy teacher, and one of thousands of gurus living and discoursing in that land of gurus. His name was Chandra Mohan Jain. But even then, just a few years out of graduate school, Jain was different. To call him charismatic would be a colossal understatement. By all accounts, this man could look into your eyes and speak to you for a half hour, and you would hurry home to sell all your earthly possessions to stay near him. He was charismatic enough that, by 1966, he was drawing big enough crowds and making fat enough cash on the speaking circuit to quit his teaching job at the University of Jabalpur, seven years after taking it, to focus on his “side hustle” as an independent guru.

What if enlightenment is not becoming something new, but awakening to what has always been true? This powerful spiritual teaching explores what is enlightenment and how suffering begins with the belief that we are separate from the Divine. Through deep yet simple wisdom rooted in non-dualism, this talk points toward awakening from the illusion of the separate self and realizing the infinite presence within all life. Rather than gaining something, spiritual awakening is letting go of the false identity of the ego and remembering our unity with the infinite Brahma–with inner peace, freedom, and deeper love. In this Baba Talk by Maetreyii Ma, ancient Yoga philosophy becomes practical and understandable for modern seekers who want to know the true meaning of awakening, enlightenment, and the nature of the self.

From his unusual path as a computer programmer living in an Ashram to becoming one of the leading voices in ketamine-assisted IFS group therapy, we explore how to work with protectors, why anger deserves more respect than our culture gives it, and how group healing unlocks something individual therapy often can't reach. Plus: why meaning isn't something you find — it's something you create.In this episodeWhat exiles and protectors are and how they shape our inner worldWhy healing means becoming whole — and how IFS gets you thereFrom computer programming to debugging the psycheHow breathwork and non-ordinary states bypass the thinking brainAnger as a healthy boundary-setting force — and why suppressing it breeds judgmentThe three ways to work with a protector: push, invite, or pick up the catWhy ketamine works like holotropic breathwork — and why Ted combined it with groupsHow group healing reaches wounds that one-on-one therapy often missesOutcomes data: what actually changes after a group ketamine IFS retreatMeaning as something you generate — not something you findTimestamps3:42 - Meeting Ted And His Setting5:35 - Self Energy And Finding Balance8:20 - Exiles Protectors And Healing Wholeness14:00 - From Programmer To Therapist19:35 - Breathwork And Non Ordinary States27:43 - Core Energetics And Working With Anger36:18 - Discovering IFS Through Hypnosis42:26 - Ketamine As A Path Past Protectors47:15 - Building The Group Ketamine Model52:31 - Outcomes Data And What Changes Last53:49 - Meaning Connection And Modern Life57:00 - Creating Meaning From A Blank Slate59:52 - Rapid Fire Questions And Art1:03:58 - A Depolarizing Message And Where To Find Ted1:07:06 - What Comes Next On The PodcastSubscribe to the Developing Meaning Substack newsletter: https://developingmeaning.substack.com/subscribeDeveloping Meaning is NOT MEDICAL ADVICE and is NOT AFFILIATED WITH ANY INSTITUTIONS.Theme music by The Thrashing Skumz.

Your True Duty in Life: Why Following Dharma Matters

Why do we get what we want—and still feel unsatisfied? This talk explores why we suffer and how to live with more clarity and purpose. It shows that when we follow every desire, we often feel pulled, stressed, and off track. In this Baba Talk by Maetreyii Ma, you'll hear a simple teaching from Yoga philosophy. Your dharma, or your duty in life, isn't about giving up desire—it's about choosing what is true and steady. Some desires align with dharma—like wanting to grow, help others, or create something meaningful. These feel calm and clear. But when desire becomes controlling—driven by fear, ego, or “I must have this”—it leads to suffering. This is why following dharma matters. It helps you act from clarity, not pressure. Over time, this leads to self-realization—seeing that you are more than your desires and changing life. Pause and ask: “Is this just what I want—or is this what is right?” About  Maetreyii Ma Nolan, Ph.D. Maetreyii Ma Nolan, Ph.D., is an award-winning author, spiritual teacher, psychologist, and expert in consciousness and holistic healing.

Why is it that despite doing all the "right" spiritual work — the meditation, the yoga, the reading, the workshops — we still feel empty and frustrated?In this episode, Swami Revatikaanta explores the trap of "Spiritual Consumerism." For many of us, especially in an impatient results-oriented world, we've been conditioned to think of the Divine as a vending machine: if we put in the time, the effort, or the money, we expect an immediate "hit" of peace and love in return. It is this misunderstanding of the nature of spirituality and God that keeps us chasing the elusive experience of spiritual fulfillment.Drawing on the wisdom of the Bhagavad Gita and the social critique of Erich Fromm, Swami discusses why a "quick fix" approach to these issues always leads to a dead end. Instead, we explore how to move from a transactional relationship to a service-based relationship, shifting from the limited and superficial "having" into the real and fulfilling "being".Connect with the Community:

Interview with Peter Ruse, Head of Corporate Development, and Nicholas Holthouse, MD of Mont Royal ResourcesOur previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/mont-royal-resources-asxmrz-ashram-acquisition-drives-november-2025-asx-re-admission-8400Recording date: 4th May 2026Mont Royal Resources is on the verge of releasing a highly anticipated Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) for its Ashram rare earth project in Quebec, showcasing structural improvements that could redefine the project's financial viability. By strategically redesigning its operations, the company has successfully slashed projected capital costs by more than half, transforming the asset into an eminently financeable operation.This massive cost saving stems primarily from two pivotal decisions: securing a year-round southern road route instead of relying on ice-bound northern ports, and relocating the complex hydrometallurgical processing plant to the Port of Saguenay. Moving the plant away from the remote mine site to an established industrial port guarantees cheaper construction, better access to skilled labor, and proximity to mature mining services. Think of it like moving a specialized, high-tech manufacturing facility from an isolated island directly to an industrial park—everything from daily logistics to emergency maintenance becomes instantly more efficient and less expensive.Beyond its rare earth endowment, Mont Royal is unlocking a lucrative secondary revenue stream by actively targeting fluorspar. With impressive high-grade intersections reaching up to 20% and global metspar shortages driving prices to $400–500 per ton, this mineral acts as a standalone financial pillar rather than a mere byproduct. Despite a massive 200-million-ton resource, the operation is purposefully designed as a boutique, high-value asset. It plans to move roughly 70,000 tons annually in standard 20-ton shipping containers, significantly simplifying the supply chain compared to traditional bulk commodity movements.Crucially, Mont Royal is positioning itself to capture premium pricing outside of China's market dominance. By utilizing a CIF European price deck, the company aims to capitalize on extreme Western supply shortages. This disconnect is highlighted by europium prices, which can exceed $1,000/kg in Western markets compared to a mere $22/kg in China. With proven, uncomplicated metallurgy and firmly secured First Nations support, Mont Royal is advancing a generational critical minerals project ready to feed Western supply chains.View Mont Royal Resources' company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/mont-royal-resourcesSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

I really want to thank Divyanāma Prabhu and Śraddhā Devī Dāsī for threading the needle, because it's not so easy to land in all these places and have a stretch of time that we've had to sit here and do bhajan. I keep resonating with the cleaning ladies who asked Ānanda Vrindāvana if we all live in one āśrama back in California, and she said, "No, we're from all over the world," but these yātrās are like living in one āśrama and having the opportunity to see what it's like. See how you like it—just hearing and chanting and going to holy places. And if you do like it, then you're really lucky, because this is life. The other part of the life is to take whatever drop we get and give it to as many people as possible. The spiritual mathematics given in the Caitanya-caritāmṛt is: the more you give it out, the more it swells in our own lives. Dear Śrīla Prabhupāda, dear Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu, dear Śrīla Sārvabhauma Bhaṭṭācārya, Śrīla Rāmānanda Rāya, Śrīla Svarūpa Dāmodara, and all the residents of Jagannātha Purī who are followers of Lord Caitanya Mahāprabhu: If You so desire, please instill in our hearts a drop of the mercy of Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu—for You are His great devotees—so that we can follow in the footsteps of Lord Caitanya by following the footsteps of Śrīla Prabhupāda and his followers, and bring millions and millions of people back here to Jagannātha Purī to chant, dance, and live in one huge āśrama. Make the whole world one āśrama with everyone chanting and hearing.
