I used some of my "shelter-in-place" time to work on a new kirtan recording of a song that always moved me when we chanted it at Paramahansa Yogananda's Self Realization Fellowship. My nephew, Tucker Sody, a professional drummer in Tampa, provided a long-distance accompaniment. Taking a cue from my Psych Rock Kirtan partner Idgy Dean, I played all the rest of the parts myself. I'm looking forward to playing it live in the future, but for now, I hope it gives you some inspiration. In his book Cosmic Chants, Yogananda said, “Words that are saturated with sincerity, conviction, faith, and intuition are like highly explosive vibration bombs that have power to remove the rocks of difficulties and to create the change desired.”Rock on and blow that sh!t up.Please support Peter's Podcast on Patreon and please feel free to gmail me with questions at peterspodcast108.

In Oprah’s recent conversation with Shawn Achor, who taught a course on happiness at Harvard, they discuss a practice of gratitude. At this time of darkness and light, I just want to say, I’m grateful that you are listening to my podcast, and I wish you actual happiness and deep living.

In this episode, I chat with Lindsay Sanwald. Known to her music fans as Idgy Dean, I know Lindsay as a yoga teacher and as part of a kirtan project, where we join forces to put a psych-rock vibe to traditional Sanskrit mantra. We cover a lot of ground between the arts and yoga, including the way both serve as a "way" to help find one's purpose, or ISHTA devata — the energy that helps you experience the whole of who you really are. We mention several artists in the episode, including: Singer Mira Lu Kovacs and her project Schmids Puls Painter Robert Henri (I mistakenly attribute a quote by him to sculptor Henry Moore) Artist Petr Shvetsov We talk about my book, Yoga for Artists, and how yoga creates a path for tapping your muse as an artist. Finally, we discuss the nature and value of mantra, including the sound Om, and how a mantra creates transformation. I decided not to interrupt my podcast with advertisements, so if you like it, please support it on Patreon, a wonderful artist-funding web community. You can support the podcast at any level you like.

Quite possibly the longest we've ever left it between the live Bucks101 Radio broadcast of Front Row with Owen and Paul, and the eventual podcast edit of the show. In fact, in the meantime, we've even broadcast an entire other show. Sorry about that. But this was a good one, we promise. Mainly, I suppose, because most of the content was decided by you, the listener, and not us! To tie into the fact that one or the other of Owen and Paul have been missing at least once this series, we thought the best thing to do would be to let you choose the music - and we had some crackers! Idgy Dean, I Start Counting, erm... AC/DC... It wasn't just music last week. We also talked a little about The Purge: Election Year, the (then) latest football results amongst the sports round-up and even managed to fit in enough time to roll the dice and rant about E4's new barrel-scraping bottom-feeder of a show, Celebs Go Dating. Urgh. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

There might be some saltine crackers or pickled jalapeños, but that's about it.” [14:10] “Let's not sacrifice flavor to partake in a trend. That said, there are major ecological impacts associated with transporting giant amounts of wood.” [18:20] “Let's be less like Texas and realize that we're in the hospitality business.” [27:25] — Daniel Delaney on The Main Course
