Trechos dos livros “Living by the Words of Bhagavan” e “Final Talks”, de Annamalai Swami.Annamalai Swami (1906 - 1995), foi um mestre de Advaita Vedanta, discípulo direto de Sri Ramana Maharshi.Em 1938, após dez anos de trabalho e devoção, Sri Ramana pediu a Annamalai Swami para que deixasse o Ashram e se dedicasse exclusivamente à meditação solitária de Atma Vichara. Ele então se mudou para uma casa nas proximidades onde praticou a auto investigação por décadas e, finalmente, através do serviço devotado a Bhagavan e rigorosa prática de sādhana, alcançou a Auto-Realização.Seu ensino em linguagem simples tornaram-se conselhos valiosos aos buscadores, pois sua experiência direta deu-lhe o conhecimento prático sobre como obter sucesso na Auto-Realização através da auto inquirição.
Are you tired of finishing your spiritual meditation feeling completely drained? Most people searching for a meditation guide for beginners expect instructions on breathing or posture. But if your mind feels like a wild monkey running everywhere, standard techniques will only leave you exhausted and in a bad mood. The real secret isn't learning how to meditate—it's realizing who is actually meditating. In this Baba Talk by Maetreyii Ma, we dive deep into advanced yoga philosophy to solve the two biggest problems of the restless mind: the wild monkey mind and the ego identity of the meditator. If you are looking for a practical meditation guide that goes beyond the basics, this video offers a profound perspective shift through the ancient stages of Sadhana. By understanding the infinite essence of consciousness and learning the process of moving from Dharana to Dhyana, you can train the brain's pathways, quiet the chaos, and resolve the struggle of the "I-feeling" entirely. Key Concepts Explined In This Video: Overcoming Mental Exhaustion: Why traditional efforts fail when you stay trapped in the "I am meditating" mindset. What is Parama Purusha? Discover the supreme consciousness from which your body, mind, and the universe arise. The Mind of Brahma: How the cosmic cycle of Sanchara and Prati-Sanchara transforms pure awareness into physical manifestation through Lady Prakriti. Whether you spell it parama purusha, paramapurusha, or parama-purusa, connecting your mind to this sublime, cosmic flow is the ultimate shortcut to true inner peace. Stop fighting your thoughts and learn to dissolve your awareness back into the infinite essence of being.

In this video Swami reflects on a conversation he had with a friend during this summer's Just Love Festival. The conversation centered around our inability to stand by our choices in life, with genuine acceptance and contentment. People that should be speaking of love, gratitude and the celebration of life, so often fall into the trap of complaining and victimhood to earn the pity and compassion of others, while hiding from their own responsibility and agency. Swami offers important perspectives and advice for how to tackle the issue!Connect with the Community:

In this episode of the Crazy Wisdom Podcast, host Stewart Alsop sits down with Daniel Segundo to discuss why today's social networks have evolved into entertainment networks and how Daniel is building Bien, a social app focused on depth over breadth. Daniel shares his journey from trading commodities to creating a platform designed to keep users genuinely connected to their inner circle, inspired by insights gained while meditating in caves in India. The conversation covers everything from the problems with the "like button" and algorithmic feeds to Daniel's contrarian approach of removing public-facing engagement metrics and using voice notes as the primary interaction method. They also explore the challenges of building consumer social products, the impact of AI on development, and Daniel's philosophy drawn from Eastern mysticism and his study of Ramana Maharshi. To learn more about Bien, visit bien.social or follow Daniel on Twitter at @DanielPSegundo.Timestamps00:00 Daniel introduces Bien as a real social network, contrasting entertainment networks disguised as social platforms05:00 Building with AI tools allowed bootstrapping the app before hiring a five-person team for professional development10:00 Social networks evolved into entertainment networks optimized for engagement and advertising rather than genuine connection15:00 The advertising model incentivizes dopamine delivery and algorithmic content over posts from actual friends20:00 Removing the like button and public comments forces deeper interaction through private voice notes instead25:00 Social graphs become stale over time because unfriending feels awkward, so people curate for weakest relationships30:00 Matrix and Nostr protocols enable interoperable messaging, suggesting a Cambrian explosion of new social apps35:00 Depth matters more than metrics—success means users actually feel closer to their inner circle40:00 Voice notes combined with photo sharing mimics natural storytelling behavior when friends gather in person45:00 Meditation in Ramana Maharshi's caves in India inspired reflections on silence, self-inquiry, and building products mindfullyKey Insights1. Daniel Segundo was inspired to create Bien after recognizing that existing social networks excel at breadth but fail at depth of connections. While meditating in caves in South India, he went through his phone contacts and realized only about 5 percent of his 1,700 contacts were people he actually wanted to stay close to, with the remaining 95 percent being noise. He saw that tools like Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp have solved the problem of maintaining surface-level relationships across broad networks of people, but there was no good tool for maintaining deep connections with your inner circle beyond basic messaging apps like iMessage or WhatsApp, which still suffer from having too many contacts with access.2. The fundamental problem with current social networks is that they have become entertainment networks rather than true social networks, driven by the advertising business model. Instagram only shows content from your actual friends about 7 percent of the time, with the rest being algorithmically suggested content designed to maximize engagement and ad revenue. The like button, while useful for maintaining broad social graphs and understanding your status in larger groups, reduces complex human relationships to superficial interactions. This creates what Segundo calls a circus-like experience where you are constantly bombarded with entertaining content rather than meaningful updates from people you care about, and the advertising model incentivizes this transformation because the product is ultimately about delivering dopamine to keep people scrolling.3. Bien removes traditional social media features like public likes and comments, replacing them with private voice note responses capped at 60 seconds. The theory is that hearing three voice notes from close friends provides more genuine connection than receiving 300 likes on a post. This design choice stems from recognizing that while the like button serves a useful function for breadth-first social networks where people want quick validation from large peer groups, it is completely inadequate for depth-first relationships. By forcing more intimate and effortful interaction through voice, Bien attempts to upgrade the quality of connection rather than the quantity, building off existing habits like sending voice notes to close friends rather than trying to create entirely new behaviors.4. The traditional follower-following model creates stale social graphs because people are uncomfortable unfriending or unfollowing others as relationships naturally evolve over time. Instead of this model, Bien uses a system where each user maintains a private list of people they want to stay close to, and if two people have each other on their lists, they see each other's content. This eliminates the social awkwardness of unfriending someone while allowing social graphs to naturally evolve. The current model forces people to curate their sharing based on the weakest relationship in their network because they do not want to offend distant connections or go through the work of managing close friends lists, which results in less authentic sharing overall.5. Segundo is building Bien on a paid subscription model rather than an advertising model to align incentives directly with users. He believes no one can build a compelling social network on the advertising model anymore because it creates conflicting incentives where the company must serve both advertisers and users, ultimately degrading the product into what he calls slop. The straightforward deal with customers is that if the product cannot provide value equivalent to the price of a cup of coffee per month through premium features, then there is no justification for the business to exist. This allows Bien to focus solely on whether users feel closer to their inner circle after using the product rather than optimizing for maximum scrolling time.6. Segundo bootstrapped the initial development of Bien using AI coding tools like Replit before hiring a team of five people to develop it professionally. He notes that with current AI tooling, if you can think clearly and understand the problems you are trying to solve, you can build solutions much more cheaply than even five or ten years ago. He eventually hired a designer and iOS and web developers to do things properly with a do it right or do not do it at all mindset. The app is currently iOS-only, built in Swift for a premium experience, with plans to potentially build a React Native version for Android if there are stronger signs of product market fit.7. Segundo's background in trading commodities and futures, along with his deep interest in Eastern philosophy and self-inquiry practices, significantly influences his approach to building Bien. He spent time studying Ramana Maharshi and practicing meditation in caves at Tiruvannamalai in South India, which he says has a profound impact not just on spiritual practice but on thinking about product development and participating in markets. His experience with a major trading drawdown in 2025 after running up a small account 25 times led him to this period of reflection that ultimately resulted in the conception of Bien, demonstrating how his various interests in trading, philosophy, and technology intersect in his approach to building a depth-first social network.

What can war teach us about the future of humanity—and what will it take for us to change? As conflict, division, and suffering continue around the world, humanity faces a deeper question: Can we move beyond fear, nationalism, religious division, and the need for power? In this Baba Talk by Maetreyii Ma, the war in Iran becomes part of a much larger conversation about human change and spiritual awakening. Drawing from Yoga Philosophy, Maetreyii Ma explores why humanity's old patterns of dominance, oppression, and groupism can no longer solve the problems we face. Our world is deeply connected, and the survival of humanity depends on learning to see ourselves as part of one human family. This talk explores oneness as an answer to a divided world and asks us to look beyond "my country," "my religion," and "my group" toward the welfare of all living beings. When we do that, we begin to understand that the future depends on cooperation, compassion, and our willingness to change. As people around the world turn toward meditation, nature, spirituality, and a deeper understanding of life, a shift in consciousness is already taking place. Maetreyii Ma asks us to consider whether humanity can leave behind destructive patterns of violence, power, and control and choose a different path. The challenges facing our world are great, but change is possible. The evolution of humanity can move us beyond division and toward a future where war becomes part of our past and people learn to live with greater love, unity, and care for all life.

Jaidev Jaidev Jai Sadguru Raya : Ashram Aarti
In this episode, Swami Revatikaanta explores the struggle between immediate gratification (Preyas) and truly doing what is good and beneficial in our lives (Śreyas). From birth, society conditions us to seek pleasure at every moment. However, this relentless pursuit of convenience, prestige, and pleasure often comes at a severe cost to our personal growth, inner peace, and true Divine connection.Drawing from the Katha Upanishad, Søren Kierkegaard and St. Augustine, Swami unpacks how we can change our ways, moving from pleasure-seeking to dharmic living and eventually pure love.Connect with the Community:
What if the secret to spiritual awakening isn't finding something new—but remembering what has always been true? You don't acquire the truth—you remember it. Spiritual awakening isn't something you suddenly gain; it happens gradually as you remember and embody this truth: You are Divine Love. The ordinary becomes extraordinary as you recognize the Divine presence in yourself and in others. You begin to see Divine Love everywhere––even in ordinary life, in suffering, in darkness, and in those who have forgotten their true nature. This talk explores the wisdom of non duality, revealing that nothing exists outside the Infinite. Discover how remembering this truth allows you to remain rooted in compassion while confronting darkness, defend truth without hatred, and discover Divine Love as the ever-present foundation of life.

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 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.

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

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. (Near Antelope, Wasco County; 1980s) (For text and pictures, see https://offbeatoregon.com/23-08.rajneeshpuramPart1of5.html)
In this episode, I'm sharing the story behind my brand new Ashram Retreat happening this October at the Yoga Association of Victoria Ashram in the Wombat Forest. I talk about my own experiences in ashrams, the difference between practicing Yoga and truly living it, and why immersion, simplicity, and community can be so deeply transformative. We also explore the impact of constant stimulation on the nervous system and why so many of us are craving more depth and sincerity in our practice right now. Plus, I share all the details about the retreat itself, including the optional bonus business intensive for yoga teachers.Check out all the details here: https://www.amymcdonald.com.au/returningSupport the show on Patreon.

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.
