Today, Banafsheh Sayyad and I explore the profound connection between dance, spirituality, and healing. Banafsheh shares her journey from childhood dancing to becoming a master sacred dancer and choreographer, emphasizing the importance of embodying one's soul through movement. We discuss the transformative power of dance in overcoming trauma, the meditative aspects of movement, and the cultural influences that shape various dance styles. The conversation culminates in a call to honor the body as a sacred temple and to support change in the world. Banafsheh Sayyad (Ban-af-sheh S-eye-aad), MFA, Choreography and MA, Chinese Medicine, is a master sacred dancer, choreographer, and visionary teacher of spiritual embodiment whose life's work is devoted to helping people activate greater health, awareness, and resilience through conscious movement. Internationally acclaimed for her pioneering fusion of spirituality and sensuality, she is the founder of Dance of Oneness®, a Divine Feminine lineage of healing and transformation uniting Sufi whirling, Persian dance, flamenco, mysticism, and Taoist wisdom. Her forthcoming book, Dance of Oneness (St. Martin's Essentials, March 2026), invites readers to rediscover the body as a portal to presence, vitality, and joy. Drawing from her own awakening through dance that transmuted the pain of exile from Iran, Banafsheh weaves Rumi's poetry, feminine mysticism, and embodied healing into a radiant call to live as a channel of love and light. Born in Iran to legendary filmmaker Parviz Sayyad, she defied cultural taboos to create a feminine expression of Sufi whirling, transforming dance into a pathway of liberation, divine communion, and activism. Through her non-profit NAMAH and her transformative teachings at centers such as Esalen, Kripalu, Omega, and Hollyhock, Banafsheh has inspired thousands across the world to awaken, embody love, and dance the divine into being.

Send us a textShiva: Both Severe and TenderIn this episode, we explore Baba's profound discourse “Shiva – Both Severe and Tender,” which reveals how Shiva reshaped early human civilization. We look at how Shiva ended clan-based divisions, uplifted women, introduced marriage, and inspired unity across Aryan, non-Aryan, and Mongolian communities. We also discuss His revolutionary contributions to music, dance, and phonetics, and His creation of Shaeva Dharma — a universal, non-ritualistic spiritual path beyond all narrow sentiments. Above all, we reflect on Shiva's unique blend of firmness in principle and deep tenderness in personal conduct, a combination that transformed society and continues to inspire humanity today.

Jan 3,2024 Wednesday : Evening : Sandhya Vandan - Evening Mantra Jaap - Om Gam Gam Ganpataye Namah...
Sri Swami Satchidananda, Integral Yoga founder, teaches the pronunciation of the Sanskrit slokas used in daily pūjā, a service of devotion at Chidambaram (the Mahasamadhi Shrine of Sri Swamiji). The pūjā is offered to the Sivalingam (according to Tamil Saiva tradition, Sri Swamiji's root tradition). In Sanskrit, Siva means “auspiciousness,” and lingam means “sign” or “symbol.” The Sivalingam symbolizes the Absolute God, the nameless and formless One. The slokas are broken into syllables to help one learn to pronounce each portion and then Sri Swamiji chants the entire line. Find the text here:
