This is Not the End - A 360 review on Regeneration After an incredible 7-year journey, Julian Guderley has recorded the 360th and (for now) final episode of Green Planet Blue Planet podcast. In this special episode, Julian is interviewed by his friend and collaborator Hope Paterson as they reflect on the genesis, evolution, and impact of the show. What started as a childhood dream of having his own "radio show" blossomed into a platform for sharing the voices and visions of inspiring change-makers from around the world. As Julian shares, his intention was to "meet some of the world's impact creators, people that make change, people that bring positivity to the world" through projects, businesses, art and more. Over 360 episodes, Julian has done just that - providing a space for authentic, insightful conversations that illuminate pathways towards individual and collective regeneration. The tagline "More than Sustainability" reveals the underlying ethos - going beyond superficial eco-trends to explore how to truly heal ourselves and build a more beautiful world. The Power of Authentic Conversations A central theme explored is the power of honest dialogue to connect, inspire and transform. Julian reflects that "every single person has something insightful, powerful and authentic to share" if you listen deeply. The intimate podcast format allows guests to "take off the makeup" and speak straight from the heart. Julian's own voice as a host also evolved greatly, sharpening his ability to "sharpen my opinions and own them" rather than holding back. As Hope notes, his "bold voice" and willingness to break rules allowed for brave, unfiltered exchanges. The Regenerative Renaissance One of the most powerful aspects of Green Planet Blue Planet was its role in uplifting and spreading the concept of "regeneration" and "regenaissence" - a rebirth and modern renaissance of regenerative thinking and living. Julian shares about celebrating the win of "contributing to the movement of people seeking a more beautiful world". The mission from the start was to create a platform to give a voice to elders and cultural leaders like: Bruce Lipton, Cynthia Jurs, Swami Chidananda, Charles Eisenstein, James Nestor, Alessa Berg, Daniel Christian Wahl and many more... The podcast surfed the "wave" of an evolving cultural consciousness. Balancing Ambition and Appreciation While celebrating the show's impact, Julian also explores the tension between ambition and contentment. As one of the top 2.5% most popular podcasts globally, there is success to appreciate. Yet the "competitive comparative culture" can breed a nagging sense of "what am I doing that it's not 100,000 listeners?" Ultimately, Julian seems to land in an understanding that trusting the intention behind your authentic expression is what matters most. The podcast created a "360 degree circle of regeneration" - and that completeness is worth pausing to honor. What's Next? Though Green Planet Blue Planet is ending for now, Julian and Hope are already flowing their creative energy into new channels like the "Breaking Rules of Business as Usual" video series. They are excited about facilitating more in-person gatherings that "dive deeper into one's own evolution" in an intimate group setting. As Julian shares, "This is not the end. This is just wrapping a 360 degree circle of the regeneration conversation." The wave of personal, cultural and planetary regenaissence continues to swell, with Julian riding alongside as a guide and catalyst. So stay tuned for whatever surprising form Julian's voice takes next as he keeps embodying the core message: Invest in "the bonds of relationships" as we co-create a more beautiful world. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/julian-guderley/support

Nov 13, 2020 #ParamahansaYogananda #YogodaSatsangaSociety #KriyaYogaIn this special talk recorded at the Yogoda Satsanga Sakha Math in Ranchi, India, on Diwali in 2019, Swami Chidananda Giri, president and spiritual head of Yogoda Satsanga Society of India/Self-Realization Fellowship, discusses how we can experience the real celebration of Diwali as the inner awakening of the all-powerful divine light perceived by practising yoga, the science of the soul. Swami Chidanandaji shares how the scientific Kriya Yoga path that Paramahansa Yogananda brought to the world represents the highest teachings of India's ancient rishis, offering today's seekers the most practical way to understand the nature of the soul and its oneness with the perfect light of Spirit. Included is a guided meditation for visualizing the spiritual eye, with instruction for bathing the brain in the light of the spiritual eye—thereby removing the effects of past actions and lighting the inner Diwali lamp of wisdom and bliss. In his #HowToLive teachings, Paramahansa Yogananda has given to people of all cultures, races, and creeds the means to free themselves from physical, mental, and spiritual inharmonies — to create for themselves a life of enduring happiness and all-round success.

A short exert from "Advice for Spiritual Living" by His Holiness Gurudev Swami Chidananda Saraswati (1916-2008), read by Rev. Dr. Swami Bhajanananda Saraswati.  "Blessed Immortal Atman! "It is now the holy period of Navaratri as I write this. The atmosphere is surcharged with deep devotion to Maha-Devi and vibrant with the fervor of worshipfulness, adoration and prayer. Our thoughts are filled with the glorious Divine Mother, and Her Blessed and wondrous manifestation as Durga-Lakshmi-Saraswati. She is the great Mystery, the inscrutable Power of the Supreme Brahman, who holds in Her Hands both bondage and Liberation. "The grace of the Divine Mother it is, that enables you to walk the path of Divine Life. Through Her benign blessings you are able to shine as a sincere spiritual seeker and a man of dharma. To worship the Mother with devotion is to be immediately uplifted by Her strength and power. She works within your inner being as the triple force of destruction, evolution and illumination. Destroying the impure and vicious aspects of one's lower nature, the unworthy, base, and bestial in the individual personality, and helping evolve the human nature into sublime heights of goodness, nobility and the purity of beauteous virtue. She illumines the jiva with supreme divine wisdom. Thus the Divine Mother is the very life and support of the aspirant's spiritual sadhana. She makes your quest fruitful with attainment. The Divine Mother grants kaivalya moksha or eternal release and immortality. "To worship and to adore the Blessed Mother is to welcome Her divine help in working out your highest good and everlasting welfare. When you thus seek Her divine aid, Her compassionate response is immediate. She sets to redeem you in Her own way. She sends experiences both pleasant and painful, through trials and difficulties. She molds and strengthens you, through sorrow and suffering, She refines and purifies your nature. She enriches and blesses you with spiritual experience and raises you to exalted heights. She makes use of your very life and its experiences to make you perfect and bestow upon you divine peace and joy and the Illimitable splendor of Self-realization. Therefore, O beloved seeker! learn to accept the joys and sorrows, the temptations and the trials of your life with wisdom and understanding. Seek to recognize their hidden meaning and purpose for your own evolution and supreme good. Find Her divine hand behind all occurrences and see the Mother's will working through them. Then will you behold your entire life as the expression of the Mother's immeasurable love for you. "Resolutely overcome all defects, faults and wrong tendencies in your nature and behavior. Develop noble character. Grow in virtue. Ever walk upon the path of perfect righteousness. Seek the immortal, Be thou an embodiment of Divine Life. Let the sacred name of Gurudev Sivananda be glorified by thy true discipleship into him. Personify his ethical and spiritual teachings. May the world find in you a source of inspiration. Let thy presence elevate all. May the Divine Mother shower Blessings upon you! Jai Sivananda!

In today's episode, our guest is Justin Borroto. He is a Miami native who is passionate about love, spirituality, healing, justice, and yoga. He has previously worked as a high school math teacher, recruiter, and diversity, equity, and inclusion facilitator in Washington DC.  Key Quotes [7:28-7:33] God encompasses all that has been and all that will ever be. [19:20-19:25] The method you use to seek God is not as important as the sincerity and dedication you bring to the quest. [43:12-43:17] To know God is to understand that we are both everything and nothing, always learning and never truly knowing. From Justin Note: There are many schools and philosophies and definitions of God within the various Yogic and Vedic traditions. At points in the interview, I named "Yoga", "Hinduism", and "Eastern philosophies" interchangeably - it would be more precise and accurate to say "Vedic traditions" and the "Yogic philosophy and practices indigenous to what we now call India, Pakistan, and the Indus River Valley." I want to thank all of my teachers for how I've come to know God. Some things I shared were my reflections on their teachings, and some were a direct resharing of what they've taught me.

Swami Chidananda once lived a life of expensive cars and partying–exactly what you might expect of a young investment banker.  But his life took a dramatic turn after realising that rising to the top still meant he was a cog in the capitalist machine. He had a call to follow his purpose even if that meant taking a leap of faith all the way to India. After years of devotion in ashrams, Swami Chidananda is able to now shine some perspective on wisdom seeking and asana practice in the west.  When can philosophies become ungrounding? And, how can teachers guide students through the call of the divine when they are not connected to lineage? Perhaps those like Swami Chidananda have the answers.

I'm very pleased to find the cassette that had these 2005 episodes on it. I didn't think I would. Here I enjoy a conversation with Swami Chidananda, one of the main editors that worked intensely on the Gospel commentaries written over the span of many years by Paramhansa Yogananda. The noted Hindu mystic saw the Judeo-Christian scriptures through a Vedantic lens that is quite close to that of some sects of the ancient Gnostics. I'm speculating, of course; but I get the idea that if Emerson or Thoreau had access to the pages of this book ("The 2nd Coming of Christ") they might say, "Yes! That's what Jesus was trying to say!" It was an honor to speak to Chidananda. Aside from being a wonderful person in his own right, in 2017 he assumed the presidency of Self Realization Fellowship, becoming the spiritual successor to Yogananda.

Du hast die Wahl. Du hast immer wieder die Wahl. Sei dir dessen bewusst. Du bist nicht Opfer der Umstände. Es liegt an dir. Du hast die Wahl. Darüber spricht Sukadev in diesem Vortrag. Dies ist eine freie Übersetzung der Niederschrift eines Vortrags von Swami Chidananda. Dieser große Meister hat immer wieder die Verantwortung des Schülers für seinen Fortschritt betont. Du hast die Wahl. Wähle Weise. Kurzer Vortrag zu folgendem Inhalt: Du hast die Wahl.
