Podcasts about Tradition

Why would a naked yogi be received as a blessing, and why would a great master decline a title others might revere? In this second part of the two-part Masters of the Tradition series (watch or listen to Part 1 here), Thom answers questions about Shukadeva, Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, the place of women in the tradition, and the meaning behind Guru Deva's throne and parasol. Along the way, he opens a wider view of the Shankaracharya tradition, its stages of life, its hidden maternal lineage, and the cultural world from which these symbols emerge. Listen to or watch this episode to explore the stories, symbolism, and living context behind the tradition.Episode Highlights[00:45] Q - Who is the blue-skinned master with no robes?[00:56] A - Shukadeva and the Demigods[05:00] Unity Consciousness and Fearlessness[09:19] A Naked Yogi as Blessing[11:52] Q - Why did Maharishi Mahesh Yogi not become a Mahamandaleshwar?[11:56] A - The Four Stages of Life[16:07] Maharishi as a Forest Dweller[18:47] Accepting the Mahamandaleshwar Title[19:53] Q - What role do women hold here?[20:03] A - Paralakshmi's Injunction[24:14] Saraswati and the Hidden Lineage[26:20] Q - What is Guru Deva's throne?[26:34] A - The Throne of Jyotir Math[31:24] A Badge of RankUseful 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/ 

Luke Kolbie and Rob Grant join Reid in celebration of an iconic brand, Russell Moccasin. For over 100 years, The Russell Moccasin Company (russellmoccasin.com) has been making hand-stitched boots and shoes for outdoor enthusiasts, so much so that the Russell Bird Shooter has become a signature part of the upland aesthetic. Luke and Rob explore the brand's history, the celebrated folks that have worn Russell boots, construction and craftsmanship, and what makes a great piece of footwear last generations.

How do you hold onto a spiritual tradition after being deeply disappointed by the people who represent it? That's a question Swami Padmanabha — a Hindu monk, teacher and author of Evolution in Divine Love — has had to wrestle with more than once. Rather than walking away, those experiences led him into a deeper exploration of authority, uncertainty, love and the possibility that healthy traditions are those that continue to evolve.In this conversation, Tim and Swami explore what it means to stay rooted without becoming rigid, to question without becoming cynical, and to remain open to wisdom wherever it is found. Along the way they discover some surprising resonances between Hinduism and Christianity, and ask whether the future of religion might depend less on having all the answers and more on learning how to keep growing.After the interview, Tim is joined by Nick to reflect on what stayed with them most. From caring for God as though God were a child, to learning from other faith traditions without losing your own roots, they explore where Swami's vision resonated, where it challenged them, and the questions they're still left pondering.Interview starts at 12m 48sBooks, quotes, links →The creation of Nomad's thoughtful, ad-free content is entirely funded by our equally thoughtful and wonderful listeners.

In this release, Father Marcel Lefebvre is called from formation work in France to a far greater responsibility: the episcopacy. Chapter 8 follows his consecration as bishop and his arrival in Dakar, where he takes charge of a vast missionary territory marked by Islam, animism, colonial tensions, and a small but growing Catholic flock. With his usual combination of doc trine, prayer, practical intelligence, and quiet determination, he begins building for the future: schools, seminaries, parishes, religious communities, social works, and new mission stations. We see him as both father and organizer, gentle with souls but firm in principle, working to establish the reign of Christ in a young and difficult mission field.

If God is the one who forgives our sins, why do we need priests as confessors? The Catechism teaches us today about the role of the priest as the minister of the Sacrament of Reconciliation. We learn that priests ought to be "servants" of God's mercy rather than "masters" of God's mercy. Fr. Mike invites us to pray for all priests' hearts, encouraging gentle, loving, and truthful confessors. Lastly, Fr. Mike clarifies the purpose of excommunication and the sacramental seal. Today's readings are Catechism paragraphs 1461-1467.

Erik Jones discusses 2 Thessalonians 2:15—“Therefore, brethren, stand fast and hold the traditions which you were taught, whether by word or our epistle.”

Today, we're sharing a prerecorded conversation I had with Brian Reeder about Progressive White, a deleterious trait that is affecting many poultry breeds and varieties, particularly American Games. Unfortunately, many breeders either don't believe Progressive White is a problem or are intentionally breeding to perpetuate the trait within their bloodlines. Even more concerning, there is a movement to have American Games accepted into the American Poultry Association's Standard of Perfection with Progressive White encouraged within the standard. In our opinion, this would only accelerate the deterioration of the breed rather than preserve it. Following my discussion with Brian, you'll also hear a conversation I had with Tony Saville. I wanted Tony's reaction to Brian's insights and his perspective on the issue. I believe Tony's experience and opinions provide valuable insight that every serious breeder should consider. Ever since Brian Reeder and I introduced the concept of Progressive White, it has sparked considerable discussion throughout the poultry and gamefowl communities. The response has been both encouraging and controversial. Many breeders have embraced the information and are working to eliminate Progressive White from their breeding programs, while others continue to deny its existence or defend its presence. Regardless of which side they take, the conversation has certainly created ripples throughout the industry. My hope is that this episode encourages breeders to take a closer look at Progressive White and reconsider how they select and breed their fowl. This is only the beginning of a much larger educational effort. I am currently developing an article and educational program devoted entirely to Progressive White. Brian Reeder has been an invaluable resource throughout this process, helping ensure that every conclusion is scientifically sound and accurately presented. At the same time, I have been carefully studying the opposing viewpoints. I want to understand every argument made in favor of retaining Progressive White or minimizing its impact so I can fairly evaluate those claims against the available scientific evidence. So far, I have yet to encounter an argument that withstands careful scrutiny. Once I complete the Breeders Academy course on Progressive White, I'll adapt that material into magazine articles, social media content, a Master's Class presentation, and future podcast episodes. My goal is to make this information accessible to breeders at every level. Ultimately, our mission is simple: to provide breeders with the knowledge and tools they need to eliminate this harmful trait from their breeding programs and help preserve these remarkable breeds for future generations. Thank you for joining us. Now, sit back, enjoy the conversation, and judge the evidence for yourself. #PoultryBreeding #Gamefowl #AmericanGame #SelectiveBreeding #PoultryGenetics #ProgressiveWhite #GamefowlBreeding #BreedersAcademy #ChickenBreeding #PreserveTheBreed #MastersClass #BredToPerfection Make sure to follow and watch our future shows.

Aujourd'hui, Bruno Poncet, cheminot, Laura Warton Martinez, sophrologue, et Charles Consigny, avocat, débattent de l'actualité autour d'Olivier Truchot.

When we confess our sins, we're not telling God something he doesn't know; we're giving God access to something he doesn't have: permission to heal our wounds. Today we learn why the act of confessing our sins is an essential part of the sacrament of Reconciliation. Fr. Mike also clarifies the difference between absolution, penance, and satisfaction. Today's readings are Catechism paragraphs 1455-1460.

What keeps a body of knowledge alive across thousands of years without losing its purity? In this first part of a two-part series, Thom traces the Guru Parampara, the lineage of the Shankaracharya tradition, from Maharishi Mahesh Yogi and Guru Deva back through Vyasa, Shankara, and the ancient masters who carried Vedic knowledge forward. Along the way, he explores why preserving the purity of the teaching matters just as much as sharing it. This series also serves as a fitting prelude to upcoming Guru Purnima celebrations for 2026.

Seit dem Tod von Queen Elizabeth II. zeigt sich das britische Königshaus nahbarer, persönlicher und weniger entrückt. König Charles zapft Bier im Pub, Camilla tritt mit ihren Hunden auf, William und Catherine gewähren bewusst natürlichere Einblicke in ihr Familienleben. Doch die neue Nähe wirft eine grundsätzliche Frage auf: Wie normal darf eine Monarchie werden, deren Wirkung seit Jahrhunderten auf Distanz, Ritual und außergewöhnlichen Bildern beruht? In dieser Folge BRITPOD – England at its best spricht Alexander-Klaus Stecher mit dem Journalisten und Adelsexperten Andy Englert über die Strahlkraft der Krone nach der Queen. Alexander vermisst die großen Royal-Übertragungen im deutschen Fernsehen und fragt: Hat das Interesse am Königshaus nachgelassen? Fehlen die großen Anlässe? Oder haben sich vor allem die Medien und ihre Prioritäten verändert? Trooping the Colour zeigt, dass es dem Königshaus keineswegs an Pomp und Tradition fehlt. Die historische Militärparade bringt bis heute Uniformen, Kutschen, königliches Zeremoniell und die Royal Family auf den Balkon des Buckingham Palace. Die Bilder existieren weiterhin. Doch erreichen sie außerhalb Großbritanniens noch dieselbe Aufmerksamkeit wie zu Lebzeiten der Queen? Auch aktuelle Royal-Schlagzeilen kommen auf den Prüfstand: Was ist an Berichten über angebliche Spannungen zwischen König Charles und Prinz William tatsächlich dran? Wie tief ist der Bruch mit Harry? Und was lässt sich über das Leben von Harry und Meghan in Kalifornien, ihre hohen Kosten und ihre wirtschaftliche Zukunft seriös sagen? Im Zentrum steht eine Institution, die zugleich nahbar und unantastbar, modern und traditionsbewusst sein muss. Denn möglicherweise liegt die größte Herausforderung des britischen Königshauses nicht in seinen Skandalen, sondern in der Frage, wie es seinen Zauber ohne die Queen bewahrt.

Vinyl Album Found in San Francisco Contains Echoes of a Filipino American Love Story Jess Garcia loves perusing San Francisco thrift stores for treasures. One day, she came across a vinyl record titled "In Baghdad By the Bay: Cora and Santos Beloy," which piqued her curiosity. She rushed home to listen and was amazed at the sweet nostalgic quality of the voices she heard. When she looked for more information on the couple she couldn't find much, but had this feeling there must be more to their story. It turns out this Filipino American couple were "San Francisco famous" in the 1970s, playing a celebrated set in the Fairmount Hotel's Tonga Room among many other gigs. In this story from KQED's Bay Curious podcast, reporter Asal Ehsanipour found out they were also larger than life figures in their local community.

A TikTok review of a $38 Armenian basturma brisket sandwich has exploded into one of the biggest food controversies Los Angeles has seen all year. This week, Luca is joined by Taqueando producer Robert Haleblian, who's been following Glendale favorite Yerord Mas since its pop-up days, to unpack how one viral video ignited a debate about restaurant pricing, tradition, influencer culture, and why some cuisines are still expected to stay cheap.

Send us Fan MailIntro:Welcome to Rational Black Thought, the podcast where we examine politics, religion, culture, and power without superstition, without respectability politics, and without pretending that polite lies become truth because they are repeated on television.I am your host, Michael, your Neo Griot, and this is Episode 291 of Rational Black Thought the Podcast, where we examine politics, religion and culture from a Black, progressive, secular and unapologetically rational perspective.This week's episode is titled "Let Go My Hand," taken from the J. Cole song of the same name.There is a line in that song where Cole says, “Today my son said, "Dad, let go my hand"Reminded me one day he's gonna be his own man.”  And that line has stayed with me because it captures something deeper than growing up. It captures the moment when a person realizes that dependence—whether on God, on institutions, on political leaders, or on tradition—has become a barrier to development.Children need someone to hold their hands. That is not a moral failing; it is a biological necessity. We need parents and teachers and guardians to keep us from walking into traffic, from touching hot stoves, from making decisions we do not yet have the experience to understand. But childhood is supposed to end.At some point, you have to learn to walk without somebody else deciding where your feet go.That is true physically, and it is also true intellectually, politically, and spiritually. Human beings are uncomfortable with uncertainty. We want somebody to tell us what is true, what is right, what the future holds, and what we are supposed to do with our lives. Religion gives that authority to God. Authoritarian politics gives it to a strongman. Political parties give it to institutions. Tradition gives it to the dead. And sometimes we just give it to whoever seems confident enough to pretend they have all the answers.The problem is not that we accept help. Nobody becomes fully human alone. We depend on families, teachers, scientists, doctors, neighbors, institutions, and generations of accumulated knowledge. The problem begins when assistance becomes submission. When leadership becomes obedience. When trust becomes faith. When community becomes conformity. When you stop asking whether something is true and start asking whether the person saying it has enough authority to command your belief.Intellectual adulthood requires a different relationship with authority. I can respect expertise without worshipping the expert. I can belong to a community without surrendering my conscience. I can learn from tradition without becoming trapped by it. And I can admit that I do not know something without feeling the need to fill the empty space with God.The title of this episode is not an argument for radical individualism. It is an argument for responsibility. It is an argument that human beings must stop outsourcing our thinking, our morality, and our political agency to invisible gods and visible strongmen. Because at some point, you have to decide whether you are prepared to walk on your own principles—and, more importantly, whether you can keep walking when those principles come with a cost.Let us get into it.Quote of the Week: Frederick Douglass Unmasking the News: Democracy Watch:  Lindsey Graham, or How a Man Surrenders His PrinciplesTrump's Iran War, or the Difference Between Unpredictability and Strategy The Christian Persecution Narrative, or When Privilege Puts on a Victim's Costume Good News:  Black Boys Building the Future, One Layer at a Time Bible Study with an Atheist: Let Go My Hand: What the Bible Says About Human Autonomy Reflections and Call to Action:Closing/Outro: Power Concedes Nothing without a Demand...

We continue our examination of the Sacrament of Penance and Reconciliation. Fr. Mike explores that interior conversion, or conversion of the heart, is a radical reorientation of our whole life. Conversion is so much more than just going through the motions or checking off the boxes. He emphasizes that interior conversion and repentance requires an active hatred for sin. Today's readings are Catechism paragraphs 1427-1433.

Together, with Fr. Mike, we begin the chapter on the sacraments of healing, starting with the sacrament of Penance and Reconciliation. Fr. Mike emphasizes that Christ has given the Church the power of the Holy Spirit to continue his earthly ministry of healing and redemption with the sacraments of Reconciliation and Anointing of the Sick. He also points out that through Reconciliation, we not only receive God's forgiveness, but are also reconciled to the Church. Today's readings are Catechism paragraphs 1420-1426.

In this release, we follow Father Marcel Lefebvre from the missions of Gabon back to war-torn France, where a new and difficult assignment awaits him. Chapter 7 brings us to Mortain, a town devastated during the Battle of Normandy, and to White Abbey, where the Holy Ghost Fathers' philosophy scholasticate is struggling to recover. There, Father Lefebvre becomes rector, rebuilding not only damaged buildings, but also discipline, unity, doctrine, and missionary zeal among young seminarians shaped by war and uncertainty. We see his fatherly care, his practical leadership, his firm attachment to the teachings of the popes, and his insistence that charity must never be separated from truth. By the end, another unexpected call arrives: he has been named Vicar Apostolic of Dakar.

This was recorded on-location at Bar Convent Brooklyn 2026Why This Episode MattersHow five generations of the Hayman family helped shape London gin and why James Hayman sees himself as a guardian rather than an owner.Why Old Tom gin is not simply London Dry with extra sugar, and how its robust botanical profile changes classic cocktails.How authentic sloe gin is made with wild blackthorn fruit, months of infusion and considerably more patience than its neon-red reputation suggests.Why rising costs may tempt spirits companies to compromise and why James believes tradition and quality are the family business's best protection.BanterMark Pascal and Francis Schott reflect on Bar Convent Brooklyn and Tales of the Cocktail as places where bartenders, producers and increasingly knowledgeable consumers come together to exchange ideas, discover new spirits and renew old friendships. They also observe that cocktail culture has spread far beyond major cities and debate whether anyone attending an afternoon spirits convention is realistically going to work afterwardThe ConversationRecorded at Bar Convent Brooklyn, Mark and Francis sit down with fifth-generation gin distiller James Hayman to explore more than 160 years of family history of Hayman's Gin.James recalls growing up around the family distillery, where the aromas of botanicals made an early impression and visits to bottle shops became part of family vacations. He explains the responsibility of protecting recipes and methods developed generations earlier while still allowing the business to evolve.The conversation traces gin's transformation from the rough, inconsistent spirit of eighteenth-century London to the more refined styles that emerged during the nineteenth century. James explains the origins of Old Tom gin, why Hayman's helped revive it for modern bartenders.They then turn to sloe gin: wild blackthorn berries, high-proof gin, several months of extraction and the British tradition of carrying a flask to cold-weather sporting events. Francis contrasts real sloe gin with the syrupy versions that once appeared in drinks such as the Red Death and makes the case for restoring the good stuff to the modern cocktail bar.James also discusses Navy Strength gin, the wonderfully questionable gunpowder story behind its proof and the family's determination to keep making gin in London without cheapening its process. The episode closes with a frozen Martinez so good that Mark and Francis briefly consider the practical limitations of employing a frozen bartender.Guest BioJames Hayman is a fifth-generation gin distiller and co-owner of Hayman's Gin, which he runs with his sister, Miranda Hayman, and their father, Christopher. The family has distilled gin since 1863 and continues to produce its London Dry, Old Tom, Sloe and Royal Dock gins using longstanding family recipes and methods. Timestamps00:00 Bar Convent Brooklyn, Tales of the Cocktail and the value of cocktail gatherings07:22 James Hayman joins Mark and Francis at BCB09:00 Growing up inside a five-generation gin family13:00 How London gin evolved—and the origins of Old Tom17:42 Real sloe gin, the Blackthorn cocktail and the Red Death23:38 Why American and British gin habits are so different25:00 Protecting quality when costs rise27:43 The story behind Navy Strength gin30:10 The freezer Martinez and frozen-bartender logisticsInfoHayman's Gin www.haymansgin.com/Bar Convent Brooklyn: Event information www.barconventbrooklyn.com/Email TheGuys@RestaurantGuysPodcast.com for cocktail recipesIf you want a chance to get two tickets to our Bourbon, Beer & Beefsteak and live recording with Sother Teague and Jack McGarry in New Orleans on July 21, 2026,sign up to be a Restaurant Guys Regular (our paid subscribers) here  https://restaurantguysregulars.buzzsprout.com/ Then email TheGuys@restaurantguyspodcast.com.

The Catechism has spent considerable time unpacking Holy Communion—the “sacrament of sacraments”—with us, and now she summarizes the most essential truths that we must internalize and move forward with. Fr. Mike takes this “nugget day” to tell us that God desires to feed us. He has given us his Son so that we might be filled with him and made whole again, in unity with him for all of eternity. Today's readings are Catechism paragraphs 1406-1419. This episode has been found to be in conformity with the Catechism by the Institute on the Catechism, under the Subcommittee on the Catechism, USCCB.

“Can we be saved by faith alone?” This question opens a discussion on the nature of salvation, touching on key concepts such as what salvation truly means. The conversation also addresses the relationship between Scripture and tradition, and explores the idea of “once saved, always saved,” providing a comprehensive look at these important theological topics.

The Catechism wraps up its overview of the Eucharist by reminding us that the sacrament of Holy Communion is a foretaste of what is to come in heaven. Fr. Mike exhorts us to prepare our hearts here on earth so that they might be conformed to God, ready to unite with him forever in heaven. The Eucharist is a most excellent path to such unity. Today's readings are Catechism paragraphs 1402-1405.

The sacrament of Holy Communion unites the faithful together in a most profound, visible way. It also makes disunity in the Church all the more painful and apparent. The Catechism reveals the Church's teachings regarding the Eucharist and Christian churches who are not in full communion with the Catholic Church. Fr. Mike addresses a most common and difficult question: “If a non-Catholic believes that the Eucharist is truly Jesus, why can they not receive him in the sacrament?” Today's readings are Catechism paragraphs 1396-1401. This episode has been found to be in conformity with the Catechism by the Institute on the Catechism, under the Subcommittee on the Catechism, USCCB.

As the popular adage goes, “you are what you eat.” The Catechism tells us that, as food nourishes the body, so Jesus present in Holy Communion nourishes the soul. It especially highlights the Eucharist's role in separating us from sin. Fr. Mike reminds us we must be open to change if Jesus is going to change us in the reception of Holy Communion. If—to use Fr. Mike's analogy—Holy Communion is a “shower” of graces, we must ensure that we're not wearing a raincoat. Today's readings are Catechism paragraphs 1391-1395.

The Catechism goes over the prerequisites to receiving Jesus in the Eucharist, as well as how often the faithful can and should receive him. Fr. Mike ensures that we understand the gravity of our obligation to go to the sacrament of Reconciliation before receiving Communion. As St. Paul said, “Whoever, therefore, eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner will be guilty of profaning the body and blood of the Lord.” Today's readings are Catechism paragraphs 1384-1390.

We continue our examination of the sacrament of the Eucharist, specifically how we worship the Eucharist. Fr. Mike examines how we, as Catholics, worship Christ's true and real presence in the Eucharist. He emphasizes how incredibly important the worship of Christ in the Eucharist is, specifically in Adoration. Today's readings are Catechism paragraphs 1378-1383.

Together, with Fr. Mike, we explore the reality of Christ's true presence in the Eucharist. Fr. Mike unpacks what actually happens during the celebration of the sacrifice of the Eucharist, specifically, transubstantiation. He explains that during the Consecration, the whole substance of bread and wine becomes the whole substance of the Body and Blood of Christ. Today's readings are Catechism paragraphs 1373-1377.

Together, we continue our exploration of the sacrificial memorial of the sacrament of the Eucharist. Fr. Mike reiterates that the whole Church, both visible and invisible, is united in the Sacrifice of the Eucharist. He also further unpacks the importance of a quote from St. Ignatius of Antioch, which states that the offering of the sacrifice of the Eucharist must be united with the apostolic succession of our Pope and bishop.
