The Three Quivering Questions of Modern Society:How can I achieve my goals with less effort?How can I achieve my goals in less time?How and where can I find pleasure?These are the “How to…” questions.(I call them the Quivering Questions because they contain an anxious energy similar to that of an addict looking for his or her next “fix.”)Shortcuts, pro tips, life hacks, and insider secrets are snippets that exist to tell you “How to…”Schools, seminars, master mind groups, and countless consultants exist to tell you “How to…”Millions of books and Youtube videos have been written and produced to tell you “How to…”The answers to the “How to” questions are always Informational.The Three Ancient Questions That Echo Within Us:Who Am I? (Identity)Why Am I Here? (Purpose)What Must I Overcome? (Adventure)Those are the “Fascination” questions.Fascination is the drive behind our search for God and our hunger for entertainment.Faith and entertainment seem incongruent until you realize that both of them fascinate us because they change our mood and lift us higher.The answers to the “Fascination” questions are always Relational.When you understand these 6 questions, you understand the essence, attraction, and purpose of social media.Youtube offers only “How to” videos and “Fascination” videos.Likewise, every book is either a “How to” book or a “Fascination” book.Television shows are either “How to” or “Fascination.” Movies and music lend themselves mostly to fascination.I told you, “Fascination is the drive behind our search for God and our hunger for entertainment.”When we contemplate our existence and the possibility of God, we ask,Who Am I?Why Am I Here?What Must I Overcome?Your answers to those questions will determine your faith, whether it be Judeo-Christian, Hindu, Moslem, Buddhist, Atheist, Agnostic, or one of the many other belief systems with millions of followers.When entertainment elevates our mood, our fascination comes from identity reinforcement.The books, movies, and television shows that we love are the ones that show us a reflection of ourselves.When we identify with a character, we vicariously experience the challenges they face. These challenges are known as the plot or the “narractive arc.”We likewise experience the evolution of that character when they are changed by those challenges. This is known as the “character arc.”The characters with whom we identify remind us of who we are.Identity reinforcement is the essence of affinity groups.An affinity group is any group of people who are attracted to the same thing.Every religion is an affinity group.The fans of a sports team are an affinity group.People who follow fashion are an affinity group.If you like jazz music, or hip-hop, or Jeeps or NASCAR or backpacking or sewing or science fiction or romance or current events or capitalism or gossip, you are in an affinity group.Mass media and social media exist to attract and serve affinity groups.The size of a business opportunity is largely determined by size of the affinity group it serves.If you are an electrician, a plumber, or an HVAC technician, your affinity groups will be people who like and need electricity, running water, and comfortable temperatures.

#nationalinterest Depending on where your politics comes from you might see Jantar Mantar as a revolution, or as a passing sandstorm. My arguments won't change any minds. I shall try, however, to say what's happened and what hasn't. The young people broke the self-imposed silence among the elite not to speak a word critical of the Modi government, except to whisper on the sidelines, looking left, right and behind.Certainly, what's happened is the first public, in-your-face defiance and ridiculing of the Modi government. If they responded with such alacrity after the violence of 20 July, it was essentially because they realised that well over 95 percent of the protesting youth, or mostly children, were from the Hindu middle and upper-middle classes.

Bir zamanlar yavaş büyüyen ülkeleri tarif etmek için kullanılan “Hindu büyüme oranı” ifadesi, bugün dünyanın en hızlı büyüyen büyük ekonomilerinden biri için artık çok eski bir hatıra gibi duruyor. Hindistan; dev nüfusu, genç işgücü, dijital altyapısı ve küresel hizmet ihracatıyla 21. yüzyılın en çok konuşulan ülkelerinden biri haline geldi.Ama Hindistan mucizesinin arkasında klasik bir sanayileşme hikâyesi yok. Çin, Güney Kore ya da Vietnam gibi tekstil üzerinden yükselmek yerine; Hindistan yazılım, danışmanlık, IT hizmetleri ve dijital ekonomi üzerinden büyüdü.Peki 1.4 milyarlık bir ülke, sanayi devrimini atlayarak süpergüç olabilir mi? Yoksa Hindistan, hizmetlerle büyürken istihdam, eşitsizlik ve erken sanayisizleşme gibi risklerle mi karşı karşıya?Ömer Özgen bu videoda şunları anlatıyor:Hindistan nasıl dünyanın en hızlı büyüyen büyük ekonomilerinden biri haline geldi? Modi'nin 2047 gelişmiş ülke hedefi, “Hindistan Yüzyılı” söylemi ve süpergüç iddiası ne kadar gerçekçi?Bağımsızlık sonrası içe kapalı ekonomi, ithal ikamesi, Lisans Raj sistemi ve 1991 ödemeler dengesi krizi Hindistan'ın büyüme patikasını nasıl şekillendirdi?Neden Hindistan, Çin ve Vietnam gibi düşük katma değerli sanayi ihracatı üzerinden büyüyemedi? Tekstil, ayakkabı ve emek yoğun imalat neden beklenen sıçramayı yapamadı?Düşük tarım verimliliği, sıkı işgücü kuralları, küçük ölçekli işletmeleri koruyan politikalar, elektrik maliyetleri, değerli kur ve kadın istihdamındaki sınırlılıklar Hindistan'ı sanayiden nasıl uzaklaştırdı?Hindistan neden kitlesel temel eğitim yerine uzun süre elit eğitime ağırlık verdi? Mobil internet devrimi ve Reliance Jio'nun fiyat kırıcı etkisi Hindistan'da dijital hizmet ekonomisinin altyapısını nasıl kurdu?Genç işsizliği, kayıtdışılık, beyin göçü, bölgesel eşitsizlikler, cari açık ve yapay zekâ tehdidi Hindistan modelini nasıl kırılgan hale getiriyor?Bu videoda Hindistan'ın büyüme hikâyesini sadece “yükselen süpergüç” anlatısı olarak değil; kaçırılmış sanayileşme fırsatları, hizmet ihracatı ve istihdam krizleri üzerinden ele alıyoruz.Kaynakça: Breaking the Mould: Reimagining India's Economic Future — Raghuram G.

Born During Apartheid, She Heard God's Voice as a ChildBorn in Rhodesia during apartheid and raised in a Hindu home, Trupti grew up facing racial segregation, and a violent home life. At age 4, she was forgotten at home when her father had a near-fatal suicide attempt. It was then she first clearly heard God's loving presence call out to her. When 12 years old, she heard a voice tell her she would leave her country and be sent "into the world." Her journey took her from Zimbabwe to London to America, through a painful marriage, and ultimately to a life-changing encounter with Jesus.“Then she called the name of the Lord who spoke to her, ‘You are a God who sees me.'” Genesis 16:13In this Parent Compass episode as well, Trupti's children share what it's been like growing up with a mother who survived so much — and how her faith and resilience shaped their family.In her book, Esther's Soul: God's Love for Such a Time as This, available on Amazon, Trupti Desai poetically shares her journey from the dusty floors of an abandoned storefront in Zimbabwe to the stage at the Miss India Pageant and beyond. Heart-warming verse paints an image of overcoming obscurity, rejection, pain, abuse, and other entrapments. And the seeker within, always searching for the one thing, the one Person who can fill the emptiness sings these modern-day Psalms now that she has found a relationship with Jesus.A Poem by Trupti: releasing her from bondage to freedom in Christ“If the Son (Jesus Christ) sets you free, you will be free indeed.” John 8:36 NIVTRAPPEDMy life like a bird trapped in a dark cageNo idea of how to be freeHard to breathe. Cannot move. StuckSurviving in the only world I knowGod whispers in my ear fly little bird the door is open. You can be freeI look out for a moment. My heart leaps as it envisions a future that could beBut I am scared to leave as the cage comforts meIt is the only world I know. I resist. God persists.Years of whispers. Tempted by the open door.I escape the cage for moments, only to be attacked once more.Back to the cage the place that comforts meStuck not free, but the only world I know.Gods voice calls louder and says little bird be freeHow God how? Please stay with me.It is all an illusion. You are deceived.My mind transforms and now I seeI trapped myselfFly bird fly be free.I leave the cage. My life expands.

Support the podcast and keep independent media alive Climate reality keeps colliding with denial, erasure, and rebranding — across media, politics, and religion. Temu conspiritualists weave melted stories about the origins of wildfires, while the high-class guys run meditation-and-regenerative-farming spectacle backed by Exxon money. Julian's on that angle. Derek will be telling us about how climate journalism is collapsing faster than the climate itself with mass environment reporting layoffs at NPR, CBS, the Washington Post, and the LA Times. Trump gutted the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. EPA webpages have been scrubbed of human-caused warming language. Are religious institutions doing any better?

Millions of people practice yoga believing it is simply exercise or stretching. But is that really true?In this fascinating interview, Steve Cunningham sits down with Linda Clark, former yoga instructor and author of Yoga Unveiled: My Spiritual Journey from Darkness to Light, to discuss her twenty-year involvement in yoga, Reiki, and New Age spirituality before returning fully to the Catholic faith.Linda explains how her conversion led her to abandon yoga after discovering its deep religious roots within Hindu spirituality. Drawing from years of research, personal experience, and testimony from others, she discusses why Catholics should carefully discern the spiritual origins of practices often presented as harmless exercise.Topics include:• The religious origins of yoga• Why yoga cannot be separated from its spiritual foundation• Kundalini and chakra spirituality• Reiki and New Age practices• "Christian Yoga" examined• The meaning of "AUM," Namaste, Sun Salutations, and other yoga practices• Personal testimony of conversion from New Age spirituality• Safer alternatives for physical fitness• Why Catholics should approach yoga with discernmentWhether you currently practice yoga, have family members involved, or simply want to better understand the Church's concerns regarding New Age spirituality, this interview offers an important discussion rooted in one woman's journey back to Christ.Purchase Linda Clark's book:Yoga Unveiled: My Spiritual Journey from Darkness to Light (https://sophiainstitute.com/product/yoga-unveiled/)00:00 Introduction00:46 Welcome & Book Introduction01:29 Linda Clark's Background02:05 Returning to the Catholic Faith03:13 Conviction About Teaching Yoga03:53 Scripture Leads Her to Leave Yoga05:03 Why She Wrote Yoga Unveiled06:23 Exercise vs. Yoga07:59 Is Yoga Addictive?09:11 What Hindus Say About Yoga10:24 Stories from the Book11:18 Stretching Without Yoga12:42 What Does "Yoga" Really Mean?13:24 Yoga Is More Than Exercise15:09 Yoga's Influence in Fitness Culture16:26 Kundalini Explained18:18 Kundalini and Spiritual Dangers19:16 Returning to the Catholic Faith20:29 Rosary and Adoration20:59 Meaning of "AUM"22:36 Can There Be Christian Yoga?24:46 Sun Salutations Explained26:18 Serpent Breathing28:14 Corpse Pose and Spiritual Meaning30:07 Clergy and the Need for Awareness31:26 Yoga Even Among Religious33:34 Final Advice for Catholics34:46 Reiki and New Age Practices36:08 Opposition to the Book38:06 Personal Experience with Spiritual Warfare40:39 Final Thoughts41:50 Closing Remarks
Karma, yoga, angel numbers, “good vibes,” manifesting, crystals, and “the universe” are everywhere in our culture, but are these New Age practices compatible with following Jesus, or are they quietly reshaping the church? In this episode of Rethink Revive, David Leake and Jordan Kolarik unpack the dangers of syncretism, how Hindu and New Age ideas slip into Christian language, and how to biblically “test the spirits.” If you've ever wondered whether things like karma, yoga, energy, frequencies, and manifestation are harmless or spiritually harmful, this conversation will help you discern what leads to freedom in Christ and what leads to deception.

What happens when Sikhi dissolves caste and two men from opposite ends of the social hierarchy unite to build an empire? In this episode of The Sikh Renaissance we explore the forgotten alliance between a Khatri and a Jatt that gave rise to a Misl and helped shape the Khalsa Raaj. From the legacy of Guru Nanak and Guru Gobind Singh to the rise of Gulab Singh and Tara Singh Ghaiba, this episode traces how Sikh philosophy created the conditions for an alliance that Hindu caste hierarchy would have made impossible. Statecraft, brotherhood and empire building: This is Sikh history unfiltered.
I feel that us, as the white community, that we hold a very strong responsibility to speak up and be heard.我觉得我们白人群体肩负着重大责任去表达和发声。My name is Jeremiah Hirsch and I am the owner of Electric Pair O' Dice Tattoo in Fredericksburg, Virginia.我叫杰里迈亚·赫希,是弗吉尼亚州弗雷德里克斯堡“Electric Pair O' Dice Tattoo”的老板。Erase the hate is a campaign that we put together to cover up racist and offensive tattoos.“消除仇恨”是我们发起的一项活动,旨在遮盖种族主义和冒犯性纹身。I started to post information and stuff to raise awareness about Black Lives Matter and towards the Black community.我开始发帖来提高人们对“黑人的命也是命”运动以及黑人社区的认识。And in doing so, I had a gentleman that I went to high school with that reached out to me about having a Confederate flag tattoo on his foot that he was embarrassed of and it was hitting him even harder seeing the stuff that I was posting.在此期间,一位高中同学联系了我,他说自己脚上有个邦联军旗的文身,这让他很尴尬,看了我发的帖子后更是自惭形秽。And he asked if we would work with him on covering it up.他问我愿不愿意帮他遮掉这个纹身。So I went to the guys in the shop and I was like, I think this would be a really good opportunity for us to help this guy out and cover it up, document it and then post it and then launch this campaign of Erase the hate.然后我就到店里去跟员工说,我觉得这对我们来说是个绝佳的机会,我们可以帮他遮盖纹身,把这件事记录下来,然后发布出去,接着发起“消除仇恨”的活动。I want to cover up this tattoo that I got a long time ago. I'm getting rid of this heart here with this Confederate flag in it.我想遮掉这个很久以前的纹身。我正在去除这个带有邦联旗帜的心形纹身。The tattoo is free but we ask for a minimum donation for $100 that will go to one of the organizations that we're working with, that goes directly to the Black community.遮掉纹身是免费的,但我们要求至少捐助100美元,这笔钱将捐给我们合作的一个组织,然后直接流向黑人社区。People have really been behind what we're doing. I mean you do have some, like, a handful that are, like, against it.人们一直在背后支持我们的行动。确实有那么一小撮人反对这件事。Their argument is that it's heritage, not hate and that it's a symbolism of, you know, state freedom and stuff like that.他们声称这种南方联邦的纹身是文化遗产,而非仇恨,而且是各州自由的标志。But I feel, you know, not to be disrespectful, but I feel at the same time they're not very educated in the history of what it's behind and what it stands for and what the different declarations of the Confederacy was for. It was to keep and instill slavery.说句难听的,我觉得他们对这些事物背后的历史、代表的意义以及南方联邦各种主张的目的都不太了解。邦联的目的就是维护和巩固奴隶制。From my own experience and convictions that I've had, just seeing daily interactions and stuff like that, showed me my privilege.从我个人的经历和信念来看,仅仅是观察日常的互动之类的事情,就让我意识到了自己的特权。Being a white male in America and seeing the unjust acts and treatment towards the Black community and the huge difference between those two.作为一名美国白人男性,我看到了针对黑人社区的不公正行为和待遇,以及这两个群体之间存在的巨大差异。I wanted to get involved as much as I could. So I started actively going to protests.我想尽可能多地参与进来。 所以我开始积极参加黑人抗议活动。I'm a single dad with four kids and I've always led by an example that we see someone by their heart and their actions and that love is love, that it's universal.我是一个单身父亲,有四个孩子,我一直以身作则,告诉孩子们要通过一个人的内心和行为去看待他们,爱就是爱,大爱无疆。Everything deserves a chance and the opportunity to live and be loved.万物都值得拥有生存和被爱的机会。My upbringing, my parents were preachers and was raised in the Christian faith and as I got older and ventured out on my own, I experienced other religions and stuff.在我的成长经历中,我的父母都是传教士,我是在基督教信仰的熏陶下长大的,随着我年龄增长并开始独自探索,也接触到了其他宗教。I really connected with Buddhist and Hindu traditions and really found this parallel between religions and understanding that the universal importance is empathy, love and compassion.我真的与佛教和印度教传统产生了共鸣,并且确实发现了不同宗教之间的相似之处,也明白了共情、爱和慈悲具有普世的重要性。And then I see this connection between them and between human beings as a whole, and that being present here in this moment and where we are as a nation, is very important that we need this progressive push forward for equality for every human being that's on this planet, especially the Black community where they're affected most.然后我看到了宗教之间以及全人类之间的联系,此时此刻我们身处此地,作为一个民族,我们需要为地球上每一个人争取平等而不断向前推进,这一点非常重要,尤其是对受影响最大的黑人社区来说。
Do you remember who first taught you to pray or meditate? Was it your grandmother, or perhaps the person who taught the first yoga class you attended? We have SO many spiritual teachers on the spiritual path, and it is important to stop and thank them. In the Hindu tradition there is an annual holy day called 'Guru Purnima' which is the full moon day we honor our Guru or spiritual teacher. The word guru means dispeller of darkness, meaning the darkness of ignorance. Any teacher can be a guru (with a small g), but Guru (with a capital G) is THE Guru, the one who awakens you to the truth of your being, and THAT Guru lives within each one of us. In this encore episode, I share a simple guided meditation to help you connect with YOUR inner Guru and express your gratitude for ALL the blessings you have received. I won't tell you much more than that because I want you to experience this meditation for yourself. Please let me know how it made you feel. Key Learnings: 1) In India, one of the holiest times of the year is called Guru Purnima. It is held on a full moon in the summer (the date changes every year according to the Hindu calendar, similar to Easter) and is a time of celebration and gratitude. Where would we be without the help of our Guru? 2) Any teacher can be a guru (with a lower case g) – your elementary school math teacher, or your piano teacher, or anyone who has taught you anything! But the Guru (with a capital G) is THE teacher, the one who awakens you to the truth of your being. And while it is wonderful to have a Guru who is in a body, ALL of us have the Inner Guru, the one who is always guiding us. 3) Whether you have a Guru in a body, or you are connecting with your inner Guru, take some time to sit and reflect on all the blessings you have received in your life. Be truly grateful for them. And thank your Inner Guru, the one who is always with you and loves you more than you can imagine. "Your inner Guru is always guiding you and loves you more than you can imagine." Ready to work with a coach to manifest your dreams?

The Biggest Myths About CremationAnswering the Questions Every Family HasIs cremation really less expensive? Does choosing cremation mean you skip the funeral? Can you still have a visitation, memorial service, or celebration of life?These are some of the most common questions funeral directors hear, and they're often based on myths that have been passed from one family to another.In this episode of The Good Grief Podcast, Mike and Emma O'Connell take an honest look at the biggest misconceptions surrounding cremation. They explain why cremation has become the choice for many families, what options are available, and why meaningful ceremonies continue to play an important role in the healing process.Whether you're planning ahead or simply want to better understand your options, this conversation offers practical guidance, compassionate insight, and reassurance that there is no one "right" way to honor a loved one. What matters most is creating a meaningful experience that supports the people left behind.EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS & TIMESTAMPS00:00:12 – Why cremation has become the choice for many families00:01:16 – The myths and misinformation surrounding cremation00:02:36 – Why people choose cremation and the many options available00:04:16 – Does choosing cremation mean you should skip a viewing?00:08:58 – "You can't run faster than the speed of hurt."00:09:09 – Mike's powerful broken leg analogy for understanding grief00:13:06 – Is cremation always less expensive?00:15:50 – Why personalization creates lasting value for families00:17:37 – Why families often focus on price instead of value00:18:25 – The question Emma asks that changes people's perspective00:20:03 – Mike explains why funeral directors sometimes "push the hard conversations"00:24:00 – How funeral service has evolved beyond selling caskets00:27:39 – Why many families choose cremation for flexibility00:30:05 – Is it ever too late to hold a memorial service?00:31:14 – Cremation and religious traditions00:31:43 – A fascinating story about Hindu cremation customs00:35:06 – Common misconceptions about cemetery space00:36:14 – Questions families ask during pre-planning00:39:03 – Why funeral directors are grief professionals00:41:02 – Emma's final thoughts on honoring every family's wishesKEY TAKEAWAYSCremation is becoming more common, but many misconceptions still exist.Choosing cremation does not mean giving up the opportunity for a meaningful funeral or celebration of life.Viewing a loved one can be an important step in the healing process for many families.Cremation is not always the least expensive option because services can be highly personalized.The value of a funeral isn't measured by what you purchase, but by the healing it provides.Cremation often gives families more flexibility to gather when loved ones can be together.It's never too late to hold a memorial service if your family feels something is missing.Every family's journey is different, and there is no single "right" way to honor someone you love.RESOURCES MENTIONEDLearn More About Cremation and Funeral PlanningO'Connell Family Funeral HomesPre-Planning InformationResourcesHave a question about cremation?Mike, Emma, and the O'Connell Family Funeral Homes team welcome your questions and are available to help you understand your options, whether you're planning ahead or making arrangements for a loved one.
Rakhi McCormick was raised Hindu, and Rae-Mi LeRoy's studies of Buddhism and Yoga brought her to the Sedona desert on a spiritual search. Each of them came to Catholic Christianity in their own unique way; and they share how their experience of prayer in their previous traditions was redirected and expanded through the treasury of prayer and devotions they found in Catholicism. If you come from a background like Rakhi or Rae-Mi, and are looking to get started with Christian prayer, we'd love to meet you! The Coming Home Network was established in 1993 to help inquiring clergy and laity of various faiths -- or even no faith at all -- with fellowship, resources, and encouragement as they explore the possibility of becoming Catholic.

Scripture Reference: 1 Corinthians 8:1-13Big Idea: A maturing church lets love for the people of Christ govern its liberties in Christ Application:Are you one of the people of Christ?When you are exercising your Christian liberties, do you consider the consciences of others?Q1. It seems to me that one of the main concepts in Chapter 8 is moral taint, an indirect acquisition of guilt through association or support of an immoral act. There is a lot of debate right now about if/how we can become “tainted”. When do we cross the line? For example, attending an LGBTQ wedding? Attending a regular wedding of someone wrongly divorced? Using technology/medicine discovered through immoral means? Living on land or inheriting property gained through immoral means?Q2. The concept of conscience is interesting when I consider my personal experience. For example, I grew up in a church were no one raised there hands and I grew up in a house where alcohol was never consumed. As an adult, both of those things “feel” wrong/bad even though I intellectually know they aren't sinful. What does that mean for me? Where is the interplay between my conscience and my comfort? Q3. You alluded to the Spirit working through our conscience. How can we discern between our conscience and the Holy Spirit. Is this an important distinction?Q4. I have a question about today's passage. It's a bit adjacent to the main point and includes a very specific scenario, so I don't know if you want to include all of it in the podcast, but I'm very curious (and have been waiting this whole sermon series for us to get to chapter 8 so I can ask). I've heard it taught that the Jerusalem Council (Acts 15) took place after Paul wrote 1 Corinthians, so therefore the instructions for gentiles to abstain from meat sacrificed to idols overrides Paul's teaching here. The person who told me that said that therefore, Christians today should avoid anything that has origins in another religion, including seeing chiropractors, getting massages, doing yoga-based workouts, etc. I'm curious what your thoughts are on that. Prior to hearing this teaching, I would do “Christian yoga” workouts, which use yoga poses but incorporate prayer and Scripture meditations instead throughout. I saw that as a way of redeeming the healthy aspects of yoga without participating in the religious aspects, but ever since hearing this teaching, I stopped in case I was wrong.Q5. Thank you for the message this morning. I appreciated how clearly love dominating in the gray while still adhering to truth came through. I did want to highlight that 1 mile from our church is a Hindu temple. This is what Google had to say about attendance there: As of June 2026, approximately 4,700 people regularly visit the Hindu Temple of Dayton in Beavercreek, Ohio. The congregation has grown significantly from its early days of 150 to 200 families. [1, 2, 3] For those, nearly 5,000 people, food sacrificed to idols is a very real issue. I just thought it was important to highlight that, if there are brothers and sisters in our Body that face that specific issue in ways that are a normal part of the worldview in which they may have been raised. I faced this issue specifically as a missionary while living in Zambia and befriending my Hindu neighbors. This is an issue members of our Body could face if invited to a Hindu home for a meal. Wouldn't it be wonderful if this issue became a more “normal” problem/opportunity for us! Q6. In our sermon we talked about limiting our freedom out of love for a weaker brother. But how do we distinguish between genuinely laying down our rights out of love versus just conforming out of a fear of judgment? At what point does trying not to be a 'stumbling block' cross the line into people-pleasing or enabling legalism?Thank you for listening and sending in your questions. As a reminder you can send your questions to SermonQuestions@ubcbeavercreek.com and we will see you next week.

How do you hold onto a spiritual tradition after being deeply disappointed by the people who represent it? That's a question Swami Padmanabha — a Hindu monk, teacher and author of Evolution in Divine Love — has had to wrestle with more than once. Rather than walking away, those experiences led him into a deeper exploration of authority, uncertainty, love and the possibility that healthy traditions are those that continue to evolve.In this conversation, Tim and Swami explore what it means to stay rooted without becoming rigid, to question without becoming cynical, and to remain open to wisdom wherever it is found. Along the way they discover some surprising resonances between Hinduism and Christianity, and ask whether the future of religion might depend less on having all the answers and more on learning how to keep growing.After the interview, Tim is joined by Nick to reflect on what stayed with them most. From caring for God as though God were a child, to learning from other faith traditions without losing your own roots, they explore where Swami's vision resonated, where it challenged them, and the questions they're still left pondering.Interview starts at 12m 48sBooks, quotes, links →The creation of Nomad's thoughtful, ad-free content is entirely funded by our equally thoughtful and wonderful listeners.

Welcome to Hacking the Afterlife podcast. Here's where to find the new book in Audible: https://www.amazon.com/AI-Flipside-Artificial-Intelligence-Pictures/dp/B0H8FF9SN7/ref=tmm_aud_swatch_0 Jennifer's back from her vacation, and we jumped into a conversation about consciousness and AI (the book AI AND THE AFTERLIFE: Artificial Intelligence Pictures Itself in a Boat on a River) - Jennifer's dad, a Mormon bishop in life, stopped by to talk about AI. In our second conversation with her dad, he introduced us to a class he was taking on the Flipside, taught by an 8 armed woman who later confirmed that Hindu people refer to as Ma Durga. She has shown up in guided meditations with different people who see her teaching a class - in this podcast, she showed up with my mom, a concert pianist, who said that she's currently in a class where she's learning how to use music frequency to heal people. It's what we've heard many times before - there are classrooms on the flipside where people learn how to use conscious energy to heal people. It's mind bending to be sure. Jim wanted to weigh in about Artificial Intelligence and how it is important for us to understand that it's mirroring how human consciousness functions. My mom Anthy stopped by to say that she was in a class where the teacher (Ma Durga) was teaching how to use music as a healing frequency. I've heard variations of this theme before - the idea that healing frequencies can be tapped into to help the health of an individual. Also there's some science about how certain frequencies affect different parts of the body. I'm not trying to claim any particular frequency is accurate or that there's a tone that everyone should listen to - but it would make sense for people to include sound frequencies in research into how to heal specific issues. Oddly enough a few hours prior to this podcast, I was doing a guided meditation with someone who saw a "giant keyboard and organ" in her council chambers. For my mom, the concert pianist to then refer to a "five story organ" that is part of her classwork was kind of startling. Jennifer and I have been doing this for about a dozen years together, and one can see how we stay open to hearing from the flipside. "Have an open heart" is key to this podcast. Whatever that means to the person hearing it - it's repeated often in the research. Try to have an open heart.

This episode explores the explosive theory that the historical Yeshua was actually a revered tantric master who spent his “lost years” studying Buddhist and Hindu traditions in India and Tibet. For this odyssey, I'm joined by researcher Ian Purdie. He'll argue that “lead-poisoned” Roman authorities hijacked these profound spiritual insights to manufacture a fake hybrid faith designed specifically for political domination and imperial crowd control. Central to this narrative is the DNA evidence from the Talpiot tomb, which reveals the physical remains of Yeshua alongside his wife, Mariamne, and their son, directly challenging centuries of enforced dogma regarding the resurrection. By unmasking this “Roman Heist,” we'll reclaim an original message of inner enlightenment and depth consciousness from the suppressive intellectual straitjacket imposed by the Church for two millennia.

Jay Bonisolli spent years chasing enlightenment through psychedelics, Eastern philosophy, and a music career he was willing to go dark to win — until God interrupted him three separate times.On a heroic dose of mushrooms, Jay experienced something he later realized matched the Bible's description of "outer darkness" — long before he'd ever read the term for himself. Years later, after writing a desperate letter to God, he encountered the presence of Jesus Christ so powerfully that a daily weed addiction and years of Eastern spiritual practice fell away overnight. And in an out-of-body encounter he still struggles to fully put into words, Jesus showed him plainly that the music opening doors to fame had been channeled from a source he never should have trusted.This conversation covers Jay's early psychedelic experiences, his years studying Buddhism and Hinduism (including months in India under a Hindu monk), a warning dream that ended his pursuit of a record deal, and the moment Jesus met him and never let go.If you've ever wondered whether there's more beyond what science can measure — or whether God pursues people even when they're running the other way — this episode is for you.----------✟ Small Group Questions From This Episode:⇨ How does Jay's story illustrate the ways God pursues people even when they drift into deception or darkness?⇨ What does his experience reveal about the danger of seeking spiritual truth outside of God's design?⇨ How does Jay's encounter with Jesus demonstrate the power of humility and surrender?✟ Bible References for Further Study:⇨ Luke 15:11–32 ⇨ Matthew 11:28-30⇨ John 14:6---------✟ Donate to A Stronger Faith ⇨ https://www.astrongerfaith.org/give-----------✟ Recommend a guest for us ⇨ https://www.astrongerfaith.org/contact----------✟ CONNECT WITH US! ⇨ Website: https://www.astrongerfaith.org/ ⇨ YouTube: https://bit.ly/asfmyoutube ⇨ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/astrongerfaith/ ⇨ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@astrongerfaith ⇨ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/astrongerfaith---------✟ For prayer or deliverance, or to become a prayer partner, please visit: https://www.astrongerfaith.org/prayer.✟ ASF recommended books: https://www.astrongerfaith.org/books

The war on Iran may be over, but its consequences are only beginning to reshape the Persian Gulf. For decades, Gulf monarchies have balanced security partnerships with the United States, pragmatic engagement with Iran, and ambitious plans to transform themselves into global economic hubs. The conflict has put that strategy to its biggest test yet. In this episode of Global Faultlines, we examine how the war has changed the Gulf security order. From the GCC's historical ties with Iran and the impact of the conflict on Gulf states to the future of the U.S. security architecture and the region's evolving strategic partnerships, we explore what comes next for one of the world's most consequential geopolitical theatres. Has the war fundamentally altered the Gulf's approach to Iran? Is the U.S.-led security architecture entering a new phase? And what does the post-war security order in the Persian Gulf look like?

(16:23) Ellie (email) - You took a call this morning from a gentleman who asked if the Hindu religion is older than Christianity and you said, yes, it is, but big deal. You also frequently remind us of the chronology of Catholicism vis-a-vis the umpteen Protestant denominations and you emphasize that, look, Catholicism is older than all of those others. Why, then, don't you say that Hinduism is older than Catholicism, so maybe Hinduism is on to something? I guess what I'm asking is, how can we have it both ways? How can we dismiss everything that came after Catholicism but we don't dismiss Catholicism which came after Hinduism? (22:45) Jose - My brother drifted away from Church. He sends me daily devotionals, but they don't agree with our Faith. How should I handle this? (27:55) Lori (email) – Is it OK to go to a free clinic that is operated by a mosque?

What makes someone run towards places most people are desperate to escape?Long before Ravi Singh became one of Britain's most remarkable humanitarian figures, he was a child caught between worlds: born in Singapore, raised in a Punjabi village, and brought to Britain at 11, where he encountered racism, loss and dislocation almost as soon as he arrived. Years later, he would go on to found Khalsa Aid, the international relief organisation known for delivering aid in some of the most dangerous and devastated places on earth.In this episode of Full Disclosure, James O'Brien sits down with Ravi to trace the experiences that shaped his lifelong commitment to service - from a childhood marked by community, faith and hardship, to the moment he realised that compassion could become a form of action in the face of injustice.Ravi reflects on growing up in a village shared by Sikh, Muslim and Hindu families, losing his father at a young age, and arriving in Britain unable to speak English, where he was confronted almost immediately by racism and exclusion. He describes the values instilled by his mother, the discipline and belonging he found in the Air Cadets, and the personal and political awakening that followed news of atrocities in Punjab.They discuss faith, identity and activism; the Sikh principles of seva and Sarbat Da Bhala; the founding of Khalsa Aid during the Kosovo crisis; and what it means to deliver practical help in places devastated by war, displacement and disaster - from Iraq and Syria to Somerset and Slough.Passionate, reflective and deeply moving, this is a conversation about loss, service, solidarity and the moral courage required to see other people's suffering as your own.Find out more about Khalsa Aid here Full Disclosure is a Global ProductionListen or watch every Friday on Global Player, YouTube or wherever you get your podcasts.
Fascism swept the world in the 1920s and 1930s, but not only because of the seductive rhetoric of Mussolini, Hitler, and their collaborators. In India as well, a distinctive brand of fascist thought emerged—influenced by Euro-American ideologies but also departing from them in critical ways. The first systematic examination of this political philosophy, Fascism in India: Race, Caste, and Hindutva (Harvard UP, 2025) revises our sense of what fascism can be, while demonstrating that it is very much with us in the form of Hindutva, the ethnic-nationalist movement at the center of Indian politics today.Luna Sabastian offers a novel interpretation of Hindutva, both its canonical formulation by Vinayak Damodar Savarkar and its reinvention by Deendayal Upadhyaya after Indian independence. Sabastian shows how Hindutva generated ideas of Hindu race and religion that had the potential to erase Muslims not through genocide or ethnic cleansing but by means of violent absorption. Focusing on aggressive miscegenation, Indian fascists proposed a singular kind of racial project, eschewing notions of purity even while maintaining a starkly eliminationist objective. Fascism in India also grapples with Hindutva ideas of caste and its relation to race—particularly in comparison with Nazi uses of these concepts—and of sovereignty, which Indian fascists envisioned beyond the “blood and soil” narrative of the nation-state. Finally, Sabastian reflects on Hindutva's reorientation toward Hindu piety after the creation of Pakistan effectively resolved India's “Muslim problem.”Bringing clarity to an ideology little understood in the West, Fascism in India is an eye-opening perspective on Hindutva and a profound meditation on the proliferation and evolution of right-wing thought. Sachin Nikarge has extensively worked in consultative capacity with prominent foreign/diplomatic missions across both ‘hard' as well as ‘soft' power domains. Learn more about your ad choices.

The Sacred Feminine is not confined to those in female bodies. Many difficulties in life come from denigration of the Sacred Feminine, including the way the planet and women are treated. Imagery of Divinity has not included the feminine in our culture. Decades ago, many women were focused on claiming masculine power. Rinzai Zen is warrior practice, very masculine, but there is a feminine aspect to it in relating to a teacher and working on koans to embody spiritual understanding. Connection to female teachers in Hindu and Lakota traditions complemented Ginny's Zen practice given the need to integrate masculine monastic transcendent approaches with life as a mother and householder. Embodiment practices can be explored such as dancing, singing, and individual rituals including creating an altar and honoring the four elements of air, water, fire, and earth, which can change the way we move through our day. Community rituals like circles, salt rituals, witnessing fire rituals, and honoring our female lineages are egalitarian. There is no hierarchy in the Sacred Feminine. There is a Japanese ritual centered around Jizo, a bodhisattva deity for babies and children who have died. Nature and beauty are pathways to the Sacred Feminine. The Sacred Masculine has the strength to hold the Sacred Feminine in partnership. The fierce quality of the feminine comes from truth. The forms of traditions seem to be evolving. Feminine icons may be more present today due to an unbalanced form of masculine patriarchy. Relationships between generations help break down the more toxic aspects of cultural conditioning.

Fascism swept the world in the 1920s and 1930s, but not only because of the seductive rhetoric of Mussolini, Hitler, and their collaborators. In India as well, a distinctive brand of fascist thought emerged—influenced by Euro-American ideologies but also departing from them in critical ways. The first systematic examination of this political philosophy, Fascism in India: Race, Caste, and Hindutva (Harvard UP, 2025) revises our sense of what fascism can be, while demonstrating that it is very much with us in the form of Hindutva, the ethnic-nationalist movement at the center of Indian politics today.Luna Sabastian offers a novel interpretation of Hindutva, both its canonical formulation by Vinayak Damodar Savarkar and its reinvention by Deendayal Upadhyaya after Indian independence. Sabastian shows how Hindutva generated ideas of Hindu race and religion that had the potential to erase Muslims not through genocide or ethnic cleansing but by means of violent absorption. Focusing on aggressive miscegenation, Indian fascists proposed a singular kind of racial project, eschewing notions of purity even while maintaining a starkly eliminationist objective. Fascism in India also grapples with Hindutva ideas of caste and its relation to race—particularly in comparison with Nazi uses of these concepts—and of sovereignty, which Indian fascists envisioned beyond the “blood and soil” narrative of the nation-state. Finally, Sabastian reflects on Hindutva's reorientation toward Hindu piety after the creation of Pakistan effectively resolved India's “Muslim problem.”Bringing clarity to an ideology little understood in the West, Fascism in India is an eye-opening perspective on Hindutva and a profound meditation on the proliferation and evolution of right-wing thought.

Tapping Into the Akasha A Wonderous Journey of Personal Growth and Spiritual Development Rohini Moradi A comprehensive guide to understanding and accessing the Akasha and exploring how ancient wisdom can be integrated into modern life to awaken inner potential as well as foster spiritual growth, selfimprovement, and an expansion of your understanding of the world. The Akasha is essentially the energetic field that contains everything every thought, action, emotion, memory, and experience. Imagine it as the universe's hard drive, where every bit of information is stored, not just from your life but also from the lives of everyone who has ever existed. The Akasha is available to all of us—a universal field that reminds us of our inherent interconnectedness and our shared history as souls navigating the vast expanse of existence. The most profound wisdom comes from sitting in gratitude for the time we've been given and truly being present with what is. In a world that constantly drives us to search for what's next, the real magic is in embracing the now. We often get caught up in the rush for spiritual answers, missing the simple beauty of just being. It's in these moments of stillness when the Akasha truly speaks. You don't need to chase after it, because it's already here, in every breath you take and every moment you live. Tapping into the Akasha delves deeply into the ancient modalities used by sages to show you how to access the Akasha. Along with practical exercises and techniques, including meditation, visualization, and energy work, Rohini Moradi guides you on a wonderous voyage of self-discovery: • Uncover answers to life's big questions • Begin to understand your soul's path • Gain a deeper understanding of yourself • Develop your intuitive abilities • Find answers to specific questions Whether you're at the beginning of your journey or looking to deepen your connection with your inner wisdom, Tapping into the Akasha offers insight and clarity for all those seeking personal transformation, deeper self-understanding, and guidance. Rohini Moradi is no ordinary spiritual guide; she's a revolutionary voice in modern metaphysics and the mastermind behind Magic Inclined—a brand rapidly gaining prominence in spiritual circles. Born into a vibrant tapestry of faith and community, she grew up within the hallowed walls of Iran's sole Hindu temple, where her father served as the distinguished Pujari (priest). From the foothills of the Himalayas to the sacred banks of the Ganges, Rohini's childhood was a kaleidoscope of spiritual immersion, framed by extensive travels throughout India. Now an internationally acclaimed teacher of the Akasha, Rohini is trailblazing a fresh approach to spiritual growth. By empowering seekers with innovative, inward-focused methods, she offers a transformative journey into limitless reality.
The Umiya Mataji Sanstha Chicago Midwest has done all the right the right things in hopes of building a temple, community center and homes in Elgin, according to their attorney John Mauck, of Chicago law firm Mauck & Baker. "They spent several years obtaining the land---it's 34 acres---and going through the traditional regulations, and they reduced the scope of their project to make the neighbors happy," Mauck said. "They had public hearings, and they finally got full approval by the City Council after everybody had a chance to weigh in," he added. However, a 1967 court order by the Cook County Circuit Court restricts the use of the land in Elgin for industrial purposes, and allows any of 300 people living near the purchased land to prohibit the Hindu group building there. Umiya Mataji Sanstha Chicago Midwest is suing to have that order removed. Mauck says his clients want the same freedoms that all Americans do. They want to live together in harmony with their neighbors, and they want to live together to preserve their own religion and their own community," he concluded.

Imagine your entire family … immediate and extended … living in one apartment complex together. Karan Mahajan's latest novel, The Complex, follows four generations of a family across India and America in the 1970s. In Delhi, most of the family lives in a crumbling residential compound. They're the descendants of a political legend, and the family longs to return to their era of greatness. These family tensions mirror the country of India itself, which is changing politically, economically and socially as the Hindu nationalist movement begins to take shape.

Two listeners. Two encounters with something vast and ancient. One that couldn't see them, and one that wouldn't leave.On a red-eye over the dark, Eshaan slips into the space between waking and sleep and the cabin vanishes. He's suspended in open black with something enormous moving slowly beneath him. It doesn't reach for him. It doesn't threaten him. It simply doesn't notice him, he's too small, too brief to register. And he realises he's been passing over it on every flight he's ever taken.Then Luca comes home to a small, dense object on his kitchen counter that he never put there, warm from within, like a heartbeat without rhythm. He throws it away. Buries it. Posts it to a false address. Every morning it's back in the same spot. Until the night he stops fighting it, and something in his chest settles into place, and he understands it was always his.Producer Dom unpacks the dark folklore: the Sumerian Abzu and the Hindu serpent on which all reality rests, the Aboriginal Dreaming that never ended, the Shinto objects bound to a person before birth, and the Andean huaca that always finds its keeper.What happens when the thing you can't get rid of… was a part of you all along?A Create Podcast Hosted on Acast.

It's Witness Wednesday! Todd is at Georgia Tech and engages with students to share the hope of Christ. Segment 1 • Todd asks Arvin to rank smoking, pornography, abortion, and hooking up—which answer reveals just how dramatically moral values have shifted? • Why would someone say smoking is worse than abortion? Todd presses beneath the surface to uncover the worldview behind the answer. • Todd then meets a Hindu student whose moral instincts surprise him before challenging the idea that all religions are basically the same. Segment 2 • Can "my truth" and Jesus' exclusive claims both be true? Todd walks a Hindu student through the collision between relativism and Christianity. • What happens when the Ten Commandments become the standard instead of personal opinion? • Todd explains why the gospel is radically different from every other religion—and why that difference matters eternally. Segment 3 • Todd questions three Georgia Tech students who defend pornography, reject objective morality, and insist they're still "good people." • If pornography is harmless, why would you be embarrassed to watch it with your parents? Todd exposes what conscience may already know. • Can someone honestly call themselves good after admitting to lying, lust, stealing, and blasphemy? The conversation takes an unexpectedly personal turn. Segment 4 • Todd challenges the three students with the question everyone must answer: What should a perfectly just God do with guilty people? • A Jehovah's Witness listening nearby joins the discussion, leading to a respectful but direct conversation about hell, the deity of Christ, and salvation. • What happens if you've believed in the wrong Jesus? Todd ends with a sobering question about eternity that neither side can ignore. ___ Thanks for listening! Wretched Radio would not be possible without the financial support of our Gospel Partners.

Joe Rogan sits down with Perplexity AI founder Aravind Srinivas for one of the most thought-provoking conversations on artificial intelligence in recent memory. But before they dive into AI, the discussion takes an unexpected turn into ancient Hindu texts, lost civilizations, mysterious engineering, and whether history knows more than we think. From there, they explore the future of AI, the jobs it may replace, why curiosity could become humanity's most valuable skill, and whether America is still the best place to build world-changing companies. We break down the biggest moments, our favorite insights, and whether this is one of the best JRE episodes of the year.

“Are guardian angels real?” This question opens a discussion on their biblical mentions and the belief that every person, including non-Christians, may have one. Other topics include the fate of a guardian angel after their charge dies, the nature of angels and time, and the appropriateness of praying to saints or angels. Join the Catholic Answers Live Club Newsletter Invite our apologists to speak at your parish! Visit Catholicanswersspeakers.com Questions Covered: 06:15 – So on the topic of angels who can actually help us — are guardian angels real? Are they ever mentioned in the Bible? 07:50 – Does every single person have a guardian angel? Or only the baptized, or only children, or only the holy? 10:55 – What about non-Christians — an atheist, a Hindu, someone who’s never heard the name of Christ? Do they have a guardian angel too? 13:15 – When the person they’re guarding dies, what happens to a guardian angel? Do they get reassigned — ‘recycled,’ so to speak — onto a new baby? 17:50 – Why do you think angels haven't fallen again? 24:15 – Do angels experience time as in having a before, now and later? 32:25 – I know angels have gender. Does the gender of our guardian angels correspond to our gender? 35:48 – When God told Moses to build the ark with Seraphim on it, how did Moses know what a Seraphim looked like? 41:19 – What is appropriate or not appropriate when praying to saints or angels? Are we asking them to actually do something for us, or just asking them to pass on our request to God? 45:00 – Can we name our guardian angels? Plenty of well-meaning Catholics do exactly that. 50:01 – If everything you've said is true — that every one of us is surrounded, right now, by powerful, personal, tireless servants of God who love us and want to get us safely home — how should knowing the angels are real change the way a Catholic prays, faces temptation, and meets death?
