Podcasts about sadhana

When we realize our real identity and our ultimate purpose in life, we'll feel enriched. So, one of the statements that's on the first slide, that I love—is from a commentary written by my teacher from one of the books called the Śrī Īśopaniṣad.It says, "All forms of incompleteness are experienced due to incomplete knowledge of the Complete Whole." The idea here is that we're only seeing part of reality, and we're getting the short end of it. If we understand the entirety of our existence and its purpose, and what we're part of, and what our function is in relationship to the Whole, then we'll feel satisfaction. So, satisfaction is a matter of practicing in such a way that we come to realize our connection, and that is the definition of yoga or yuj—to reconnect.

In einem bislang unveröffentlichem Satsang mit Meditierenden in Großbritannien im Jahr 2008 beantwortet Sadhguru Fragen zu Karma, Hingabe (Bhakti), Sadhana und Erleuchtung – mit tiefen, teils humorvollen Geschichten aus seinem eigenen Erleben. ***** Sadhguru ist ein Yogi, Mystiker, Visionär, Bestsellerautor und Dichter, der zu den 50 einflussreichsten Menschen Indiens zählt. Seine absolute Klarheit der Wahrnehmung verschafft ihm einen einzigartigen Platz, nicht nur im spirituellen Bereich, sondern auch in der Wirtschaft, im Umweltschutz und auf internationaler Ebene und öffnet eine neue Tür für alles, was er berührt. ☀️ Inner Engineering ist ein kraftvolles Werkzeug, das Dich befähigt, Wohlbefinden in jeden Aspekt Deines Lebens zu bringen. Entwickelt von Sadhguru, bietet dieser Kurs bewährte Methoden, um Dich in einen freudigen, entspannten und konzentrationsfähigen Menschen zu verwandeln, der mühelos mit äußeren Gegebenheiten umgehen kann.

What happens when highly capable people can solve complex problems but struggle with tasks the workplace considers simple? In this episode of Future Fit Leadership, I speak with executive coach Frankie Berkoben about neurodiversity, executive functioning and what leaders misunderstand about people who think differently. Frankie’s own career has crossed geology, engineering, product and program management, endurance cycling and executive coaching. Following her experience of burnout and a later ADHD diagnosis, she began to recognise that many talented people spend years believing they are inconsistent, unfocused or somehow broken, when the real issue may be the fit between the individual and the system around them. Frankie explains why systems thinking, pattern recognition and intuition can be significant leadership strengths, even when traditional workplace structures fail to recognise them. She also explores the shame created when people are repeatedly told they are too much or not enough, and the impact this can have on identity, confidence and belonging. The conversation moves beyond diagnosis. Stress, uncertainty, overload and constant context switching can affect executive functioning in any of us. Frankie and Sadhana discuss what neuro-inclusion looks like in practice, why psychological safety requires more than a policy, and how small changes to meetings, communication and work design can help different minds perform at their best. This is a conversation about building workplaces around humans, rather than expecting every human to fit the same system.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

What yoga teaches us about devotion, discipline, and returning to ourselves through daily practice.What does it really mean to have a spiritual practice?In yoga philosophy, the word sadhana refers to a dedicated spiritual practice — the daily, repeated devotion of returning to yourself, your truth, and something greater than you.But sadhana does not have to be complicated. It does not have to look like a perfect morning routine, an hour-long meditation, or a daily yoga practice on the mat.Sadhana is less about performance and more about relationship.It is the practice of showing up again and again.It is how we remember who we are beneath the noise, roles, expectations, distractions, and patterns that pull us away from ourselves.In this episode of The Midlife Purpose Project, we explore why sadhana matters, especially in midlife. This is a season when many women begin to question who they are, what matters, what no longer fits, and how they want to live the next chapter of their lives.Sadhana gives us a way to listen inward.It helps us slow down, reconnect with the body, observe the mind, build self-trust, and live with more peace, clarity, purpose, and inner alignment.This episode is also a reminder that yoga is not confined to the mat.Yoga is a living practice.It is how we think, speak, act, choose, respond, and return.Your sadhana may include meditation, breathwork, prayer, journaling, mantra, movement, silence, time in nature, or simply a few intentional breaths before beginning your day.The form matters less than the devotion behind it.Sadhana is the practice that keeps bringing you home.In This Episode, We ExploreWhat sadhana means in yoga philosophyWhy daily spiritual practice mattersHow sadhana helps us come home to ourselvesWhy yoga is more than movement or something we do on a matHow practice helps us listen inward and reconnect with inner wisdomWhy sadhana is not about perfection, performance, or rigid disciplineHow small daily practices can build self-trustWhy midlife is a powerful time to create or return to spiritual practiceHow breathwork, meditation, journaling, prayer, mantra, and movement can become sadhanaWhy returning again and again is the real practiceReflection Questions From This EpisodeWhat helps me feel connected to myself?What helps me remember what matters?What practices bring me back to my body, breath, and heart?Where am I making spiritual practice too complicated?What would a simple, sustainable sadhana look like in this season of life?What am I devoted to becoming, remembering, or returning to?How can I bring yoga into the way I live, not just what I do on the mat?Simple Sadhana PracticeChoose one small practice you can return to daily.It might be three conscious breaths.A hand on your heart.A short meditation.A few lines of journaling.A prayer.A mantra.A walk outside.A moment of silence before you reach for your phone.Let it be simple enough that you can actually return to it.The power of sadhana is not in doing something perfectly.The power is in returning.Again and again.164: Balance Is a Myth: What Yoga Teaches Us About Wobbling Through LifeAbout Katie FarinasKatie Farinas is a midlife coach, yoga teacher, and spiritual guide who helps women navigate midlife with clarity, peace, purpose, and empowerment.

Marie est une femme guidée par une quête intérieure sincère, une chercheuse d'essentiel qui a choisi de s'éloigner des chemins balisés pour plonger dans l'expérience vivante de la spiritualité. Après une période de remise en question profonde, elle décide de partir en Inde, attirée par l'enseignement de Sadhguru. Ce qui devait être un simple séjour de découverte s'est transformé en un engagement de plusieurs années au sein de l'ashram de l'Isha Foundation, au Tamil Nadu.Dans cet espace dédié à la transformation intérieure, Marie s'est immergée pleinement : pratiques yogiques intensives, méditations, service désintéressé (seva), rituels sacrés et silence. Loin du tumulte du monde, elle a appris à se reconnecter à sa respiration, à son corps, à la nature, mais surtout à cette dimension plus vaste de l'existence que l'on touche quand l'ego s'efface.Aujourd'hui, Marie partage avec humilité ce que ces années lui ont transmis. Non pour enseigner, mais pour inspirer. Avec douceur et profondeur, elle évoque le silence vibrant de Dhyanalinga, l'énergie du Sadhana, l'humilité du chemin. Elle est une passerelle entre les sagesses de l'Inde millénaire et ceux qui, en Occident, cherchent à donner plus de sens à leur vie. Si vous avez aimé ce podcast, n'hésitez pas à le partager sur les réseaux sociaux avec le hashtag #regardailleurs Pour continuer à suivre mon travail, retrouvez moi sur: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/gaiaimages_photography/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/gaiaimagesMon site internet: https://www.gaia-images.comSoutenir le podcast : https://www.buymeacoffee.com/alexandre.gaiaSoutenez-nous sur Patreon et Tipeee !

Send us Fan MailThis is from the book titled: Idea and Ideology. There are 11 chapters to the book, and this is the reading of the 6th chapter titled - Atman, Paramatman and Sadhana. In this discourse, "Ātman, Paramātman and Sādhana" (1959), Baba explains the relationship between the individual self, Cosmic Consciousness, and the purpose of spiritual practice. He describes creation as a journey from subtle consciousness into matter and then back again toward its divine source. Human life represents a unique stage in this return journey because only human beings can consciously accelerate their spiritual evolution through sādhana. Baba also challenges the traditional doctrine of divine incarnations, arguing that spiritual greatness comes through gradual evolution rather than a miraculous descent of God into human form. The discourse concludes with the Tantric concept of Tāraka Brahma and emphasizes that the highest goal of spiritual life is complete surrender to the Supreme Consciousness through love and devotion. Support the show

Time is destructive for those who don't take advantage of it. This is mentioned in the Śrīmad Bhāgavatam, also, as far as spiritual practice goes, and we'll get into that a little later. When you take advantage of each day to the best of your ability, then you are banking something important. But every day you forget to do it, or you put it off, then it's a day when you are losing ground, your intention for that—whatever that may be. The arrival of the intention comes, the delay enters, and then you see the curve starts to move to the right, or continues to move to the right, reaches its peak, and there we have it at number three (referring to a picture in the presentation), alternatives multiply. Many other things come in. Kṛṣṇa says this in the Bhagavad Gīta (BG 2.41): vyavasāyātmikā buddhir ekeha kuru-nandana bahu-śākhā hy anantāś ca buddhayo 'vyavasāyinām That is, if you don't act on your intention when it's there, then your intelligence can become many-branched. You get other ideas, other distractions, other roads to go on, and you can't be ekeha—one-minded. Then it starts to go down. Your conviction to do it weakens. You think, "Oh, maybe it was just sentiment. Maybe it wasn't a good idea after all." And then the opportunity closes. I didn't tell you this, but I looked at the word "dwindle," and it sheets back to Germanic. The linguists say it comes from Proto-Indo-European, from a word that means to die. Dwindle, dwin—that the first part with the 'd' comes from a word in Proto-Indo-European which means something dies. Like a fruit. You leave it on the vine too long: you miss the opportunity, and then the fruit dwindles, and dies. Falls off the vine, rots. ------------------------------------------------------------ To connect with His Grace Vaiśeṣika Dāsa, please visit https://www.fanthespark.com/next-steps/ask-vaisesika-dasa/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=video&utm_campaign=launch2025 https://vaisesikadasayatra.blogspot.com/ ------------------------------------------------------------ Add to your wisdom literature collection: https://iskconsv.com/book-store/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=video&utm_campaign=launch2025 https://www.bbtacademic.com/books/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=video&utm_campaign=launch2025 https://thefourquestionsbook.com/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=video&utm_campaign=launch2025 ------------------------------------------------------------ Join us live on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/FanTheSpark/ Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/sound-bhakti/id1132423868 For the latest videos, subscribe https://www.youtube.com/@FanTheSpark For the latest in SoundCloud: https://soundcloud.com/fan-the-spark ------------------------------------------------------------ #spiritualawakening #soul #spiritualexperience #spiritualpurposeoflife #spiritualgrowthlessons #secretsofspirituality #vaisesikaprabhu #vaisesikadasa #vaisesikaprabhulectures #spirituality #bhaktiyoga #krishna #spiritualpurposeoflife #krishnaspirituality #spiritualusachannel #whybhaktiisimportant #whyspiritualityisimportant #vaisesika #spiritualconnection #thepowerofspiritualstudy #selfrealization #spirituallectures #spiritualstudy #spiritualquestions #spiritualquestionsanswered #trendingspiritualtopics #fanthespark #spiritualpowerofmeditation #spiritualteachersonyoutube #spiritualhabits #spiritualclarity #bhagavadgita #srimadbhagavatam #spiritualbeings #kttvg #keepthetranscendentalvibrationgoing #spiritualpurpose

Patañjali Muni, who thousands of years ago wrote a book on psychology and how it relates to the manifestations that we have in our lives, mentions that when we leave this present physical body, the material nature then interprets all of the impressions we have in our mind and the overall feeling that we have when we leave this world. It then fills it in and gives us a new physical, gross body accordingly. And this is described in detail in the eighth and 15th chapters of the Bhagavad Gītā, where the kind of nose—notice, you have a particular kind of nose; you might not have noticed it recently—or a certain kind of ear or eyes [is determined]. Your eyes are different from a fruit fly's eyes. I looked at a magnification of a fruit fly because I was talking about how cute they are the other day, but then when I looked at the magnification, I thought, "It's not as cute as I thought." But in any case, fruit flies have specific eyes that were given to them by the material nature as an accommodation. We have a particular kind of eye; so, one may then ask, "Well, why did I get this particular kind of eye—a set of eyes?" These wisdom literatures answer that it's an accommodation of our consciousness. It's a way that we've developed our consciousness; the way in which we've developed our consciousness is then filled in. So, it's as if you made an impression with your foot in the wet sand and then filled it in with plaster of Paris—you get a perfect rendering of your foot. And in a similar way, our consciousness is what carries us or attracts to us our next physical body. This all goes to say that we're always in the creative process, and we're a lot more creative and powerful than we know. We may turn off that system and forget to create, and just let things happen to us and just take in random information. So, I am taking from this point of Leonardo da Vinci: he had an idea, he conceived of it, he was creative—and how did he express his creative nature? He would write it down for posterity, and then it became manifest as a useful tool. So, how many ways are we creating our next body or whatever is in our environment? It's called ātmakṛtam; it's what we are doing. So, this is a refined way, or a way of refining how we move in the world by being very deliberate and writing things down. This is what I'm trying to present: one of the ways of being very conscious about what we're thinking and where our mind is going, and also going in a predetermined direction—the way we want to go—by writing it down. So, that comes to also writing goals, priorities, and so forth. For instance, I have always in front of me on my desk a list of all my priorities, and they're always ready at hand because in a 24-hour period I can forget my priorities. But because I've taken my intentions, I've written them down very clearly, and I have a list now. I can go through and review and recall them, and stay on track. So, I'm saying that this is a manifestation tool.

Are you treating your yoga practice as a checklist item, or as a splendid return to your essence?In this episode, I'm talking to you straight about what it means to bridge the gap between modern postural yoga and the ancient spiritual depths. Hello, yogasana sadhana. We dive into the reality of spiritual burnout, escaping the rigid "box" of mainstream studio culture, and how to treat your physical practice as a doorway to the divine rather than the final destination.Here's what I share:The Seed vs. The Branch: Recognizing that while modern postural yoga is a beautiful physical doorway, it is just a single branch of a deeply rooted, magical treeOvercoming Burnout: My journey of "hitting the wall" while teaching within profit-driven spaces, and how returning to sadhana saved my mental health and my yogaFinding the Middle Ground: Exploring vivek (discernment) and vairagya (dispassion) to find the non-judgmental middle path in a highly commercialized yoga worldAncient Wisdom for Modern Seekers: Words from Chapter 6 of the Bhagavad Gita to anchor ourselves in THE STATE of YogaDitching the Spiritual High Horse: Maturing into spiritual study means expanding our compassion, not looking down on those who are on the mat just for mobilityLinks Mentioned:The Curious Yogi Online Practice Community: Join My Momence Community Here (Migrating soon from Patreon—download the Momence app to track your practice, book 90-minute classes, and join our monthly Satsangs!)Listen to Stewart's Latest Episode (There's two!): On What Yoga is NOT Listen to Nikki's Episode from Season 1: On Finding The MiddleYoga is not a mechanical checklist; it is an act of remembering the light, clarity, and love that is already sitting quietly with you.How do you maintain and relate to your sadhana?

This is the sixth and final talk in a series on well-being, emphasizing that materialistic approaches to addressing wellbeing only provide temporary relief from unhappiness or suffering, rather than permanent solutions. True well-being requires incorporating spiritual solutions, as attempts to address well-being without spirituality are fundamentally flawed. The speaker explained that in dharmic traditions, there is a fundamental formula where pain and suffering are related to ignorance, meaning the more one embraces false ideas about life, the more unhappiness results. The core issue identified was people's stubbornness in refusing to accept that the physical body is not their true identity, their true ‘self', but rather a temporary dwelling for an eternal spiritual being.Several guided meditations were offered as tools to aid a spiritual practice and the links are given below.Quotes used in this talk:When impurities are destroyed by practicing the eight limbs of yoga, enlightenment dawns, culminating in full knowledge of the self/atma. Yoga Sūtra 2.28 Control of the senses (yama), observance of rules (niyama), bodily postures (asana), regulation of the breath (pranayama), the withdrawal of the mind from sense objects (pratyahara), focusing the mind on a chosen object (dharana), meditation (dhyana), and complete absorption in trance (samadhi) are the eight limbs of yoga. Yoga Sūtra 2.29 Non-violence, truthfulness, not stealing, celibacy and freedom from possessiveness make up the yamas. Yoga Sūtra 2.30These laws are universal and must be practiced without consideration of time, place, birth or circumstances. Together they constitute the "great vow" of life. Yoga Sūtra 2.31 The niyamas (observances) are internal and external purity, contentment, acceptance of austerity, the recitation of sacred mantras and study of Vedic texts, and complete devotion and surrender to God. Yoga Sūtra 2.32The highest state of spiritual devotion/realization is attained by slow degrees by the method of constant endeavor for self-realization with the help of scriptural evidence, theistic conduct and perseverance in practice. - Śrī Brahma-saṁhitā 5.59 O son of Kuntī, all that you do, all that you eat, all that you offer and give away, as well as all austerities that you may perform, should be done as an offering unto Me.- Bg 9.27Chapters 00:00:00 Introduction to Well-being and Materialistic Limitations ‎ 00:03:06 The Fundamental Formula of Dharmic Traditions ‎ 00:05:19 The Reality of Death and Life's Purpose ‎ 00:07:30 The Need for Spiritual Understanding ‎ 00:10:41 False Identity and the Concept of Atma ‎ 00:12:52 Consciousness Problems and Material Stimulation ‎ 00:15:14 The Futility of Repeated Failed Approaches ‎ 00:17:28 Sadhya and Sadhana: Goal and Process ‎ 00:19:18 Liberation from Death Fear ‎ 00:21:15 The Goal of Human Life ‎ 00:22:43 Human Capacity for Higher Questions ‎ 00:24:02 The Need for Regular Spiritual Practice ‎ 00:26:04 Modern Addictions and Distractions ‎ 00:29:10 The Eight Limbs of Yoga ‎ 00:32:44 Yama: Ethical Restraints‎ 00:35:51 Niyama: Observances‎ 00:37:46 Sustainable Living and Spiritual Practice ‎ 00:40:24 Gradual Spiritual Development‎ 00:45:17 Essential Components of Sadhana‎ 00:47:45 Hearing Spiritual Wisdom ‎ 00:49:14 Integration of Spiritual Life ‎ 00:50:34 Meditation Practice Guidelines ‎ 00:53:15 Closing Thoughts on Spiritual Nature ‎https://soundcloud.com/acharyadas/guided-meditation-for-inner-peace-wellbeing https://soundcloud.com/acharyadas/sets/meditations-for-wellbeing Kirtanhttps://soundcloud.com/acharyadas/sweet-and-mellow-mahamantra https://soundcloud.com/acharyadas/mahamantra_kirtan https://soundcloud.com/acharyadas/sets/transcendental-sounds-1

My mother used to tell me, "Never underestimate the power of 'I'll show them.'" So many personalities who have succeeded in life have, have at one point or another, been considered losers—and they thought, "I'll show them," and they put their full attention into improving themselves in one area or another. Michael Jordan, for instance, was cut from his high school basketball team. So, the third way in which—and I am just talking about having a strong decision at the beginning of your activity—you can solidify it is to give up what we call "mistaken unchangeability." Another way of saying it is: 'assume it can be done.' Because oftentimes, people feel, "Other people can do something, but I can't." One has to give that up. In other words, you have to banish that feeling from your mind or heart—that other people can be successful but I can't. As it is mentioned in the Vedānta-sūtra by Śrīla Vyāsadeva, the Śāstras tell us that we should improve ourselves and we should reach the highest perfection of life. He says, therefore, we should assume that we can do it, because the Śāstras are speaking to all of us, and it would be illogical to think we cannot do it if the Śāstras say we can. Sometimes people might think, for instance, that it is not possible for me to become a pure devotee; "It's not possible for me to chant 16 rounds; it's not possible for me to read the Bhāgavatam all the way through." There may be many worthy services to do, but we think, "I can't do that." That, you have to put aside. "I can't write a book." What else might you think you cannot do?

In our lives, the phenomenon is there that when we don't have a clear idea, a clear goal, then we tend to tip over. Somebody will come along with an idea; we'll run off in one, or another direction. What's more, there's this feeling of urgency for all kinds of things—they all fall in the same category. You just have one little bowl, and you throw everything in there, and the marking on the side of the bowl says 'Urgent.' Every little thing can wake you up in the middle of the night saying, 'Urgent!' You forgot to write an email to such-and-such, and you think, "Well, they must hate me by now," and that becomes a burning cinder in your mind. We have to deal with the issue of balance in our life by becoming introspective and also working on our clarity of purpose, vision, and goals. This is a great time of year for it because we're in the first quarter. That means we've got three quarters left; that's exciting! I took this phrase from Seven Habits: 'Start with the end in mind.' What do you want it to do? Where do you want whatever you're doing to end up? What will it look like when you get there? Once you have that in mind, then set your goals. It's an antidote to the sense of disturbance. If we don't have a clear idea, then whatever comes up will be very disturbing. But you may notice that if you're intensely focused on doing something or going somewhere, even if there are disturbances, you might barely even notice them. There's an example given about this in the Śrīmad Bhāgavatam, great literature on Bhakti Yoga. There was once an arrow maker who was sitting in his shop. He would hone the tips of the arrows and then use some special instruments to make sure they were perfectly straight. He was famous for his arrows; people used to purchase from him all the time because they were so perfectly balanced. One day, while he was in his shop, the King came through the city and passed by the arrow maker's shop. When a King goes by, there is fanfare: there were dancers, jugglers, flame-swallowers, music, bands. He went by in a palanquin carried by ornately dressed bearers; there were elephants—what a tumult! It took an hour to pass. Soon afterwards, the son of the arrow maker came running through the shop and said, "Did you see the King? Did you see the King?" The arrow maker said, "What King?" The son said, "He just passed by, right in front of your own shop!" He said, "I was unaware." Why was he unaware? Because he had one single-minded purpose, which was sharpening his arrows and doing his work. Therefore, he wasn't concerned—or wasn't even aware—that the King had passed through the town. So this is what's called in the Bhagavad-gītā 'The one-pointed attention': vyavasāyātmikā buddhiḥ. The intelligence is fixed, going in one direction to achieve the ultimate goal. Bhakti Yoga shows us how, if we're clear about the ultimate goal of life—what we are trying to get out of life, ultimately. I'm not talking just about some financial thing or a health goal we are working on—but why are we here in the first place? What does the end look like? Is there a purpose at the end for us to be focused on? If we have that in mind, we don't even note the disturbances that come to us when we're absorbed in the ultimate purpose of life.
