Yoga is a group of physical, mental, energetic and spiritual practices which originated in ancient India, aim to still the mind and reduce human suffering (Duḥkha). Yoga can even include sexual energy in its practices. Yoga-like practices were first mentioned in the ancient Hindu text known as Rigveda. Yoga is referred to in a number of the Upanishads.The first known appearance of the word "yoga" with the same meaning as the modern term is in the Katha Upanishad, which was probably composed between the fifth and third centuries BCE. The Bhagavad Gita describes yoga as “skill in action.” It has to do with the raising of consciousness, the discovery of dysfunctional thoughts and perceptions, the reduction of suffering, and the discovery of inner peace. One of the keys to healthy aging, peace of mind and terrific sexuality for men is yoga, partly as it aids in maintaining muscle strength, flexibility and balance. Join Dr. John in an arousing conversation with Thomas Gloor, a yoga teacher for men. He has taught for several decades and his wisdom is inspiring. Some topics covered include:The difference between the energetic body and the physical body.Tantric yoga and sexuality.The difference between orgasm and ejaculation.Transforming emotional energy into spiritual energy.If you like what you've heard at The Evolved Caveman podcast, support us by subscribing, leaving reviews on Apple podcasts.

Find out why everything you know about yoga might be wrong." That's a bold statement, but in the newest episode of Mind Muscle, we're tapping into reliable sources and diving deep into the disputed history of modern yoga practice. We're not here to disqualify the benefits of yoga, but to present a different origin story and unravel the truths behind its evolution.Our journey waltzes back to the Katha Upanishad in 300 BCE, exploring the role of influential figures like Pantanjali in the adaptation of yoga, and how its transformation was affected by cultural shifts, societal views, and the rise of physical culture. We question the influence of individuals like Eugene Sandow and dive into the origins of modern yoga, which had a surprising amount of cross-cultural influences and trends. Brace yourself for some jaw-dropping revelations: yoga as we know it was actually formulated in the late 1960s in Canada and has since been co-opted and commercialized.In the final stretch, we'll serve up a discussion about the horseshoe appeal of yoga and alternative medicine that surprisingly unites people from opposite ends of the political spectrum. We'll share insights from an ayahuasca ceremony, and an intriguing look at how alternative medicine and yoga blur political lines. Remember, yoga is more than just a fitness trend—it's a journey of understanding and a practice that evolves over time, much like our understanding of its history. Join us as we challenge preconceived narratives and debunk prevalent yoga myths! Tune in to Mind Muscle and let's get this knowledge workout started.Producer: Thor BenanderEditor: Luke MoreyIntro Theme: Ajax BenanderIntro: Timothy DurantFor more, visit Simon at The Antagonist

Yama le ofrece algunos dones, tentándolo con riquezas, placeres y una larga vida, pero el niño le pide que le revele como trascender la ilusión de la muerte. Escucha este episodio si quieres como Nachiketas, seguir un camino a la libertad, la felicidad, la paz, la plenitud y la inmortalidad del Ser divino.Hari Om Tat SatEncuéntranos en: https://www.instagram.com/satyarupayoga Gracias Infinitas.

Katha Upanishad as its santi form is sounded is actually something beyond all material calculation. It can't be understood. It is revealed knowledge. In other words, it talks about the spiritual existence. It talks about our relationship with God. It talks about death and what is after death. And finally, it talks about the human spirit and the actual origins and nature of consciousness and experience. NEW!

Sandeep Maheshwari is a name among millions who struggled, failed and surged ahead in search of success, happiness and contentment. Just like any middle class guy, he too had a bunch of unclear dreams and a blurred vision of his goals in life. All he had was an undying learning attitude to hold on to. Rowing through ups and downs, it was time that taught him the true meaning of his life.

The Katha Upanishad is a dialogue with death. The meaning of Katha with the dot under the T, the ordinary Katha without the dot means like stories, past times, instructions even, or things that were done, you know, like histories in the past. But Katha with the dot underneath it, when it's pronounced properly, it means distress. I had to dig deep into the Sanskrit dictionaries to find this. It means distress, but it's also a name of Shiva. So Shiva is death. NEW!

Putting space in your life and letting go of what doesn't matter will give you the energy to focus deeply on what does." -@HeyCoryAllen on IG"Fulfillment of desire is a natural consequence of knowing the Self.   For example, the Kena Upanishad points out that, "thorough the Self one gains strength" (atmana vindate viryam).  The Sanskrit word for strength is viryam, which also means 'vitality', or 'energy'.  When the Self is realized through direct experience, the individual enjoys a state of contentment in which desires are no longer experienced as unfulfilled needs that cling to the heart. Then whatever the individual might require for the maintenance of life will be produced through the creative power of his or her own nature. The Mundaka Upanishad explains how desires are fulfilled in an effortless manner for one who knows the self:'Whatever world a man of purified nature sees clearly in his mind,and whatever desires he desires, that world and those desires he wins.He who knows Brahman dwelling in the secret place, in the field of the transcendent, wins all desires together with Brahman, the all-knowing.'The Katha Upanishad expresses the same idea:'This imperishable indeed is Brahman.This imperishable indeed is the Supreme.For one who truly knows this Imperishable,whatever he desires, is his.'"-Excerpt from  'Upanishads' (A New Translation) Vernon Katz and Thomas Egenes"A lot can happen in a month.

Chapter 2 - Sankhya Yoga The soul is immortal In verse 2.19 and 2.20, Shri Kṛṣṇa says that those who think that the soul is the killer or that the soul is getting killed, lack knowledge, because the soul does not kill and the soul cannot be killed. The soul is never born nor does it ever die. Only what is born can die and the soul is not born, it is eternal as it is a tiny spark of the eternal God. Thus, it is only the body that dies, never the soul. The same thing is mentioned in the Katha Upanishad, chapter 2. न जायते म्रियते वा विपश्चिन्नायं कुतश्चिन्न बभूव कश्चित्। अजो नित्यः शाश्वतोऽयं पुराणो न हन्यते हन्यमाने शरीरे॥ na jāyate mriyate vā vipaścinnāyaṃ kutaścinna babhūva kaścit । ajo nityaḥ śāśvato'yaṃ purāṇo na hanyate hanyamāne śarīre ॥ The atman is never born, nor does it ever die; it did not come from anywhere. It is birthless, eternal, immutable and primeval. The atman is not slain when the body is slain. Adi Shankaracharya, a renowned Indian philosopher and commentator on the Vedas, provided a commentary on the Katha Upanishad, in which he elaborated on the verse mentioned above. According to Shankaracharya, the verse sheds light on the nature of the atman, which is our true self, and transcends the cycle of birth and death. He explains that the atman is not subject to the physical changes that affect the body, such as growth, aging, and death, but rather is eternal and unchanging. Furthermore, Shankaracharya refutes the notion that the atman is created or born, which some individuals believe. He asserts that the atman is an intrinsic part of the absolute God, who is Sat, and the source of all life and the foundation of existence itself. Overall, Shankaracharya's commentary highlights the fundamental teachings of the Upanishads, which assert that the true Self is not constrained by the body or the mind, but rather is infinite, eternal, and unchanging. As we discussed in the previous verses, we are not this physical body, we are something higher, we are the soul, which is the absolute truth. Our ultimate goal of life is to realize this truth. Whether we believe it or not doesn't change the truth. Just like gravity is not going to change, whether we believe it or not. Shri Kṛṣṇa is explaining this truth to all of humanity through his message to Arjuna, that this soul is eternal and it can never be destroyed. It is beyond life and death.

Welcome to the podcast everyone! Have you ever wondered about reincarnation, your coming death, or the meaning of life? Have you ever pondered the eternal question: Who am I? If so you'll really dig this episode where I read one of the sacred texts of India, called the "Katha Upanishad." This is the story of a young boy, a brahmin, who gets the chance to have three wishes granted by the lord of death, named Yama. The Boy, Nachiketas, asks Yama, in his third wish, to reveal the secrets of what happens to us when we die. This is a story packed with universal wisdom, about the different paths we can take in life. It is a Vedantic teaching, steeped in a wisdom that transcends time, and which can be used to soothe a busy, fragmented mind.  The text can be listened to as a meditation, a yoga nidra, or even as a bedtime story.The reading of the text begins at: 27:20 The Intro is extremely useful and has some great backstory that can help open one's imagination for the text. However, skip to the actual poem, if you wish to interpret teaching for yourself.  The Jai Sugrim Method Podcast is sponsored by Commons CBDI use commons cbd daily to reduce exercise induced inflammation, as well as for good sleep.You can order Cannabis Products from Commons with my ambassador link:www.commons.co/with/jsugrimThe Show is also sponsored by WHOOP, your personal digital fitness tracker: Order your whoop strap with Jai's Unique Link:https://join.whoop.com/376818To train with Jai, and learn about his yoga classes and massage therapy treatments:www.jaisugrim.comTo Join The Art of Aging Book Club:https://jaisugrim.com/book-club/To support this podcast go to patreon:patreon.com/jaisugrimEnjoy and share this episode!May it bring You Insight!

Vedic mythos, or storytelling, is often laced with humor to get a point across. In this episode of the podcast, Thom recounts a tale from the Katha Upanishad, of a Sergeant and a General. It's a scenario that wouldn't look out of place in an episode of “The Office” or any other workplace sitcom. Having a character take credit for someone else's idea and then retelling it back to them is a pretty common gag, but in the Upanishad, it's much more than just a tool for a cheap laugh. It's a profound lesson which, once learned, can be a source of empowerment and a tool for living a more deliberate life.Episode Highlights[00:56] Katha Upanishad[03:19] A Friend in the Sky[05:27] The Breaking of Unity[07:31] "You see that hill there?"[09:57] An Amazing Idea[11:44] A Source of Thoughts Deep Inside of Us[14:11] A Wave is Nothing but Ocean[16:44] Desire[19:12] I Am Totality[21:28] A Parody on Praying to God[22:39] An Unnecessary Step[23:52] We Just Say Yes[26:53] Permitted to Act Useful Linksinfo@thomknoles.com  https://thomknoles.com/https://www.instagram.com/thethomknoleshttps://www.facebook.com/thethomknoleshttps://www.youtube.com/c/thomknoleshttps://thomknoles.com/ask-thom-anything/

A reading of the Katha Upanishad translated by Juan Mascaró. The Katha-Upanishad is probably the most widely known of all the Upanishads. It was early translated into Persian and through this rendering first made its way into Europe. The text presents a dialogue between an aspiring disciple, Nachiketas, and the Ruler of Death regarding the great Hereafter. Music by Maok - https://www.maok.sk/homepage

Glo teacher Annie Carpenter, shares the importance of presence and how our yoga practice can support us in cultivating presence. Annie shares about the early days of YogaGlo, the teachers who impacted her life, the Katha Upanishad, and how her practice (as a teacher and student) has evolved. They also discuss her teacher training program, SmartFLOW, and the ways her passion for birding is another exercise in presence. Links:https://www.smartflowyoga.com/GLO classes:Radical Acceptance https://www.glo.com/class/5399Here and Now https://www.glo.com/class/9245Mindfulness Meditation https://www.glo.com/class/10910Steady Breath Flow https://www.glo.com/class/11070Strong Supported Hatha https://www.glo.com/class/10909

What IS death? What "dies" exactly? Do YOU end when the body ends? Socrates described philosophy as "preparation for death", Nachiketha learned the secret of life in Death's house in the Katha Upanishad, the Shakyamuni Buddha pointed out that as much as we like to pretend otherwise, impermanence is a fact of life. But impermanence of what?To celebrate today's Pluto Retrograde and the Scorpio Full Moon, we explore the deepest questions of philosophy and find profound answers from Advaita Vedanta (Hindu Non-Duality), answers that not only free us once and for all from the fear of death but also give us tools to meaningfully overcome grief and loss. For more videos and instruction, visit me at patreon.com/yogawithnish

All spiritual traditions prescribe some form of self-abnegation in the name of purifying the vessel:Jesus fasted in the desert,the Islamic mystics called themselves "Fakirs" (Poor Ones),Nachiketha jumped into the fire in the Katha Upanishad...and yet, the Buddha spoke against severe austerity in favor of the "Middle Way", the path of moderation.What is austerity, really?  In this video we explore the esoteric principle behind purification practices and I suggest a few indispensable techniques to incorporate into your spiritual life right away.  Also, we have a lengthy discussion on what the REAL purpose of spiritual practice is; we diagnose why it might be that despite all the meditating and attending Vedanta lectures, we might still not be "manifesting our divinity in each movement of life."

A quick summary of the Hindu organizational chart, followed by a deeper dive into the wisdom of the Upanishads.“That which cannot be thought by mind, but by which, they say, mind is able to think: know that alone to be the Brahman, not this which people worship here.  That which is not seen by the eye, but by which the eye is able to see: know that alone to be the Brahman, not this which people worship here.”Kena Upanishad

One of the biggest challenges in life is learning how to accept life as it is, instead of how we think it should be. In this podcast, the first of a two part series, we'll explore how the fear of death inhibits our ability to accept life. We'll dive into the story of Nachiketas and Yama (the Lord of Death) from the Katha Upanishad to learn the secrets of death and the true meaning of life.
