The Kannada language boasts an ongoing literary tradition spanning more than a millennium, with a rich array of social positions and roles, religious traditions, and poetic styles that developed over the dramatic history of the region. Yet translations from premodern Kannada to English have been inconsistent, with only a handful of works that have endured. Stories of Shiva's Saints is the first English translation of selected stories from a thirteenth-century text by Hampeya Harihara that sheds light on the rapid spread of Shiva devotion in the region through edified biographies of figures who lived a few decades earlier, and the stories' historical significance is matched by their gripping plots and emotional expressivity.

The Vishuddha Chakra, or Throat Chakra, governs communication, self-expression, and truth. It empowers us to articulate our needs and share our unique resonance through sound and language. Associated with Lord Dakshinamurthy, a form of Shiva symbolising wisdom and inner guidance, this chakra fosters clarity and authentic expression. The mantra honouring him seeks his blessings for truth and wisdom.The Vishuddha Chakra is symbolised by a light blue lotus with sixteen petals, representing the elements of speech and sound, and the Sanskrit vowels that enable clear communication. Its yantra features a full moon with a silver ring, emphasising clarity and spiritual growth, and a downward triangle representing creative expression.The Bija mantra "HAM" resonates with the element of space, facilitating harmonious expression. The white elephant symbolises purity, wisdom, and discernment, reminding us to detach from outcomes and practice mindful speech. By balancing Vishnu Granthi, we cultivate sattvic expression—thoughtful, helpful, inspiring, necessary, and kind.To read more and to practice with Zephyr Wildman, click here.

Het jaar eindigt zoals veel van onze runs: niet helemaal volgens plan, maar wel op een mooie plek.In de laatste Loopleip-aflevering van 2025 ploffen Shiva, Robert en Joost neer na een jaar vol trails, evenementen en omwegen die achteraf precies goed bleken. Modder op de kuiten, lach in het hoofd, een finishbiertje binnen handbereik.We halen herinneringen op aan paden die mooier waren dan verwacht, aan hoogtemeters die achteraf meevielen (of niet), en aan momenten waarop het ineens heel logisch voelde om hier überhaupt aan begonnen te zijn.We praten over lopen — en over alles wat je onderweg tegenkomt: goede gesprekken, slechte benen, onverwachte stilte en hard lachen op precies het verkeerde moment.Geen doelen meer voor even. Geen Strava-segmenten.Gewoon samen nagenieten, terugkijken en proosten op een jaar dat ons flink liet bewegen.Dit zijn de laatste trailmeters van 2025. Dank dat je met ons meeliep.Support the show
The Anahata Chakra, or Heart Chakra, represents love, compassion, and harmony, fostering self-acceptance and connection with others. It invites us to face our wounds with loving awareness, promoting emotional balance and openness. Associated with the Wind element, it carries the life force, Prana, inspiring transformation. The Bija mantra is "Yam," and the colour is vibrant green, symbolising love's growth and vitality.Its twelve-petaled lotus embodies qualities such as compassion, joy, forgiveness, and courage, balancing emotional well-being. The sacred geometry features interlocking triangles symbolising the union of Shiva and Shakti consciousness and creative energy. The central Bindu represents unity, inner peace, and divine connection.Balancing Anahata helps overcome emotional blockages and cultivate selfless love. Our practice focuses on Vishnu Granthi, dissolving barriers to love and nurturing light.

In this rich and wide-ranging conversation, Ali sits down with yoga teacher, author, and anatomy educator Rachel Scott to explore what it truly means to live as a body – not just to have one.Beginning with a candid inquiry into modern yoga culture, Rachel gently peels back the layers of Western commodification to reveal yoga's deeper purpose: presence, self-regulation, and intimacy with the living intelligence beneath our habits and conditioning. From there, the dialogue opens into a profound exploration of embodiment as a spiritual practice – one that includes sensation, relationship, desire, stillness, and paradox.Drawing on decades of practice, Rachel shares how yoga, anatomy study, and contemplative stillness have shaped her understanding of consciousness, love, and human connection. Together, Ali and Rachel reflect on mindfulness versus “body-fulness,” nervous-system awareness in dating and relationships, and the wisdom of listening to the body's cues around safety, timing, and consent.The conversation also moves tenderly into themes rarely spoken aloud: fertility, choice, grief, freedom, and the many ways maternal love can be expressed beyond childbirth. Rachel speaks openly about her journey through wanting children, confronting ambivalence, and ultimately trusting the larger intelligence of life – an experience that reshaped her relationships, her work, and her sense of self.Weaving together yoga philosophy, Tantra, anatomy lab awe, and everyday relational practice, this episode is an invitation to slow down, feel more, and honor the mystery of being embodied. A heartfelt exploration of love, presence, and the courage it takes to listen deeply to the body's quiet truths.FOR MORE ALI MEZEY:ALI - WebsiteALI - LinkTreeALI BIO: Ali Mezey is a Body Therapist, Family Constellation Work Facilitator, Sexologist and Media Maker with over 40 years of experience.

For example, substance dualists believe that the mind is part of the soul and the soul resides completely outside of the body.Non-dualism: Non-dualism refers to the idea that all things are interconnected and not separate. Distinctions like self and other, or good and bad, are illusions created by the mind. Essentially, it's about recognizing the unity and interdependence of all phenomena.Proprioception: also referred to as kinesthesia, is the sense of body position, movement, and force. It is the unconscious awareness without visual input and is sometimes referred to as the sixth sense.There are three primary types of proprioceptors: muscle spindles, Golgi tendon organs (GTOs), and joint receptors. Each distinct type provides different information that together shape the sensory profile of the body's positioning and motion.Interoception: Interoception is awareness of your body's internal senses or signals. It identifies how you feel. You can consciously or unconsciously respond to these signals. For example, if your stomach rumbles, you know you're hungry.YOGA DEFINITIONS:Shiva: He is the Supreme Being in Shaivism, one of the major traditions within Hinduism. Shiva. God of Destruction. God of Time, Yoga, Meditation and Arts. Lord of Yogis and Physicians.

Send us a text In this episode of Sikh History Sakhi – Season 3, we reflect on Pauris 30 and 31 of Jap Ji Sahib, exploring Guru Nanak Dev Ji's vision of one Divine Source behind all creation. Through the examples of Brahma, Vishnu, and Shiva, Guru Nanak Ji reminds us that all forces arise from Ik Onkar, the One Truth. He then addresses human fear and anxiety, reassuring us that the Divine reigns everywhere and provides for all. These pauris guide us beyond rituals, inviting us to live with trust, humility, and awareness of the One.

They're like hard on the outside, but they're soft and yum, yum, yum inside. We are just chocolate-covered cherries. That's all we are. And that yum, yum, yum, yum, that's the joy, that's the bhakti. Yum, yum, yum, yum.

Bri Griffen-Moss was just 18 years old when she found herself at the world's largest spiritual gathering: Kumbh Mela. The festival coincided with Shivaratri, where she was baptized to Shiva, the Hindu god of destruction. This sparked a series of spiritual encounters that eventually guided her to become a certified pranic healer, a profession that she found wonderful, until it came back to haunt her years later.Extra Content ▶ https://almostfalse.net/supporters/videos/series/6013Guest Links ▶ https://hub.almostfalse.net/podcast/61Ask a Question ▶ https://almostfalse.net/pages/ask-me-anythingWebsite ▶ https://almostfalse.netDiscord ▶ https://discord.gg/h4eeEt57jkMerch ▶ https://almostfalse.net/pages/merch

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.
It's a Mailbag Monday packed with petty problems and real relationship math. Jared breaks down how to handle a boyfriend who panic-washes dishes the second the fork hits the plate, whether getting uninvited from ✌️ Shivas is actually a dealbreaker, and what to do about a friend who either Venmos down to the penny or “forgets” to pay you back at all!See Jared live!
In this discourse, Shunyamurti reveals the Eightfold Path of the Netra Tantra—a radical understanding of Ashtanga Yoga. Moving beyond the outer practices of posture and breath, this teaching unveils the ascent of the soul through the divine eye of Shiva toward the throne of light, where all identity dissolves into God-Consciousness.
Esse mês eu vou trazer 9 livros que vão levar vcs a um passeio por aspectos de algumas das religiões com mais praticantes no mundo e no Brasil: catolicismo, protestantismo (evangélicos), judaísmo, islamismo, hinduísmo, budismo, espiritismo, além das religiões afro-brasileiras candomblé e umbanda. Atualmente, mais do que nunca, o mundo precisa de tolerância, empatia e respeito a diversidade religiosa. Hoje nosso passeio pelas religiões do mundo aterrissa no hinduismo, a terceira maior religião do mundo, com o livro "My Bindi", ou "Meu Bindi", escrito por Gita Varadarajan, ilustrado por Archana Sreenivasan e não publicado no Brasil, por isso eu traduzi e adaptei especialmente pra esse episodio. Divya tem medo de colocar o bindi pela primeira vez. E se ela for ridicularizada? Como será essa sensação? Mas Amma garante que o bindi lhe trará proteção. Depois de procurar na caixa especial de Amma o bindi perfeito para colocar, Divya se olha no espelho e descobre um novo lado de si mesma, o que lhe dá força.Para acompanhar a história juntamente com as ilustrações do livro, compre o livro aqui: https://amzn.to/4rda7SZO bindi é um ponto de cor que se usa entre os olhos ou no centro da testa, especialmente entre os hindus, simbolizando o "terceiro olho" (chakra Ajna), o centro da sabedoria e intuição. Esse livro trouxe um aspecto do hinduismo, que é a principal religião na Índia e a terceira maior religião do mundo. Tem um sistema de crenças bastante diversificado, podendo ser considerado politeísta ou monoteísta dependendo de sua vertente. Os vedas são as principais escrituras do hinduísmo e são considerados os textos religiosos, ainda em uso, mais antigos. Brahma, Shiva, Vishnu, Ganesha, Lakshmi são alguns dos seus principais deuses. Fiquem ligados que daqui a 3 dias sai mais um episodio, dessa vez sobre o budismo, não percam! Se vc gostou, compartilhe com seus amigos e me siga nas redes sociais! https://www.instagram.com/bookswelove_livrosqueamamos/
