Could your skin be reflecting what's happening in your digestive system? Colette explores the Ayurvedic understanding of the gut-skin connection and why true radiance begins from within with Vaidya Kamya Pillai. While modern research continues to uncover the relationship between the microbiome, inflammation, and skin health, Ayurveda has long taught that healthy digestion, balanced doshas, and proper nourishment are essential for clear, vibrant skin. You'll learn how Agni (digestive fire), Ama (toxic accumulation), Rasa Dhatu (the body's primary nourishing tissue) and Ojas (our vital essence), influence skin health and overall vitality. They also discuss how stress, emotions, and nervous system dysregulation can impact both digestion and complexion, and why Ayurveda views beauty as a reflection of internal balance rather than external appearance alone. In this episode you'll discover: The Ayurvedic gut-skin connection The role of Rasa Dhatu in hydration, nourishment, and radiance How Agni and Ama affect skin health The connection between the doshas, stress, and the nervous system in skin health How Vata, Pitta, and Kapha imbalances manifest in the skin Ojas and it's connection to radiant skin Ayurvedic practices to support healthy digestion and glowing skin Why true beauty begins with inner balance Whether you're dealing with acne, sensitivity, inflammation, dryness, premature aging, or simply want to cultivate a healthy natural glow, this episode offers practical Ayurvedic wisdom to support skin health from the inside out.

For many women, a history of breast cancer has meant an automatic “no” when it comes to menopausal hormone therapy. But is the story really that simple? In this video, we explore a more nuanced and evolving conversation—one grounded in decades of research, including the work of Avrum Z. Bluming, MD, and other leading experts who have closely examined the data on hormone therapy after breast cancer. Across multiple studies and reviews spanning over 40 years, the evidence paints a more complex picture. While certain risks—such as thromboembolism with oral formulations—are well documented, the long-held belief that hormone therapy universally increases breast cancer recurrence or mortality is increasingly being questioned. In fact, most studies have not shown an increase in breast cancer–related death, and only one trial demonstrated a limited increase in local (not distant) recurrence. At the same time, menopausal hormone therapy remains the most effective treatment for symptoms that deeply affect quality of life—while also offering potential benefits for cardiovascular health, bone strength, cognitive function, and longevity. So where does this leave us? This video is not about giving a one-size-fits-all answer. It's about encouraging thoughtful, informed decision-making. It's about moving beyond fear-based assumptions and toward individualized care—where risks and benefits are carefully weighed, and where women feel empowered to ask questions, seek multiple perspectives, and have meaningful conversations with their physicians. Because the most important takeaway is this: you deserve to be fully informed. Resources: Hormone Replacement Therapy After Breast Cancer: It Is Time Avrum Z.

Hormones influence every system in the body, from mood and metabolism to sleep, fertility, and the transitions of midlife. In this episode, I'm joined by Vaidya Princy Prasad of Kerala Ayurveda Academy to explore hormone regulation through the classical lens of Ayurveda. Rather than viewing hormones in isolation, we discuss how endocrine balance reflects the state of the doshas, agni, the nervous system, and overall resilience, especially in today's high-stress world. Vaidya Princy shares practical wisdom on building awareness of hormonal fluctuations, supporting the body through stress and burnout, and navigating perimenopause with steadiness and nourishment. In This Episode, We Explore: Why hormone regulation is such a timely focus in modern life How chronic stress and burnout disrupt hormonal balance The relationship between hormones and Vata, Pitta, and Kapha How to observe and track your own hormonal patterns Managing the transition of perimenopause through Ayurveda Ayurvedic herbs that support hormonal health This conversation offers a grounded, holistic perspective on restoring balance and working with your body's natural rhythms rather than against them.

What if your companion didn't just arrive by chance, but by choice? We sit down with Abhigna Vaidya—a business analyst whose lifelong curiosity about astronomy, birding, and kriya yoga opened into animal communication—to explore a world where animals, plants, and even places speak with purpose. Abhigna shares the pivotal night a Himalayan mountain dog appeared on a dark trail and led him home, and how that wonder grew into a practice grounded in attention, humility, and surprising validation. We dive deep into soul contracts—the unseen agreements through which animals offer care, receive healing, or even carry our burdens. With clarity and compassion, Abhigna explains why some animals go “lost” versus “missing,” how cats often wait for calmer energy before returning, and why a dog might choose a new home if his or her needs aren't being met. The stories are specific and human: open a balcony door at 2 a.m., adjust a sleeping spot, resolve household tension, and watch how the relationship shifts. Telepathy here isn't magic; it's a mindful way of noticing, asking, and acting. We explore the science of plant communication and forest intelligence—plants signalling wasps for defence, mother trees feeding and instructing saplings through mycorrhizal networks. That lens widens further to land and Vastu Shastra, the elemental design system aligning earth, water, fire, air, and space. Abhigna shows how a home's layout, a site's history, and the land's “wish” can nudge projects toward friction or flow—like a former Ayurvedic field that flourished only when repurposed for healing, not commerce. This is a warm, practical, and provocative journey for animal lovers, nature nerds, and curious sceptics alike. You'll come away with a new respect for consent, calm, and coexisting, plus simple steps to listen better—whether you're calling sparrows to the balcony, welcoming a nervous rescue, or sensing what your home truly needs. If this conversation opened something in you, follow, share with a friend who loves animals, and leave a review to help more listeners find us. What did you rethink about your bond with animals or place today?

When an eclipse happens, something shifts. The light changes. The atmosphere feels different. Traditionally, these moments were never treated as ordinary.In this episode, Dylan is joined by Jyotishi and Ayurvedic practitioner Laura Plumb, Vaidya Dr Krishna Raju, Vaidya and medical astrologer Dr Harsha Raju, and mantra teacher Purnesh. Together they explore eclipses through the lenses of Ayurveda, Jyotish and mantra śāstra.They speak about Rahu and Ketu, the difference between solar and lunar eclipses, why digestion and prāṇa are considered more sensitive during these periods, and why eclipses have long been used as powerful windows for mantra and inner practice. Specific mantras and simple ritual guidelines are shared, along with practical recommendations around food, rest, meditation and how to orient the mind during these heightened times. The conversation moves between astronomy, subtle physiology and lived experience, offering a steady and grounded way to approach eclipse events.Rather than sensationalising eclipses, this episode invites a composed perspective. A reminder that moments of shadow can also be moments of alignment.IN THIS EPISODE WE DISCUSS:

In this episode, we dive deep into one of Ayurveda's most fundamental yet misunderstood concepts of Agni. Often translated simply as “digestive fire,” Agni is far more than digestion. It is the body's intelligence to transform food into energy, nutrients into tissues, experiences into learning, and stress into resilience. When this ability weakens, stagnation begins. And stagnation, Ayurveda says, is the starting point of disease.Episode Highlights:Why Agni is considered the essence of lifeHow digestion, immunity, and clarity are all expressions of AgniThe difference between Ama (toxins), Ojas (resilience), and Kapha How does lifestyle shape Agni far more than medicinesWhy are autoimmune diseases not randomSrotas: The intelligent functional pathwaysTimestamps: 00:00 – 05:30: What Truly Governs Health?05:30 – 11:00: What Is Agni Beyond “Digestive Fire”?11:00 – 16:30: Levels of Agni in the Body: From Digestion to Tissue Formation16:30 – 21:30: How to Assess Your Agni?21:30 – 26:30: Agni Beyond the Gut: Mind, Vision, Skin & Metabolism26:30 – 35:30: Strengthening Agni the Right Way35:30 – 41:00: Ancient Bodies in a World of Excess41:00 – 46:30: Mental Stress & Agni Breakdown46:30 – 52:00: Pratyaparadha: When Intellect Turns Against Health52:00 – 57:30: Agni, Ojas & Manas: The Triangle That Runs the Body57:30 – 1:00:00: Autoimmunity Through an Ayurvedic Lens1:00:00 – 1:05:30: Srotas: Rethinking Disease Pathways1:05:30 – 1:11:00: Structural vs Functional Srotas1:11:00 – 1:16:30: How the Body Decides What You Become1:16:30 – 1:21:30: Agni, Dhatu Agni & Why the First Conversion Matters Most1:21:30 – 1:27:00: Can Biomarkers Measure Agni? 1:27:00 – 1:29:30:Treating the Person, Not the ReportAbout Dr Vaidya M PrasadDr. Prasad M, a postgraduate in Ayurveda, has been practicing Ayurveda since 1996.

Welcome to Season 8 of Ojas Oasis. "This season begins with a life update that feels less like a chapter and more like a quantum leap. I've moved to Austin, Texas, and the past few months have been nothing short of magic—an intricate web of synchronicities unfolding at a pace that has stretched time itself. Some days have felt like entire lifetimes, shaped by tectonic inner and outer shifts happening at lightning speed.There were moments where the velocity felt almost too much, until I remembered who I am, why I'm here, and what I'm devoted to. When I remember that this path is Dharma, and that it is walked in devotional love, everything recalibrates. The body softens. The nervous system exhales. Even rest becomes an initiation.This journey of building an Ayurveda clinic from vision to reality has been a sacred dance between action and surrender, between my fiery Pitta drive and a deep return to the Divine Feminine. And there are three pillars that have carried me here.First and foremost: my devotion to The Divine and to the Dharma entrusted to me. When you are asked to carry a sacred torch, there is no alternative path—only service, only integrity, only forward motion in love. Second: my friendships and community. My heart overflows when I think of the people who have nourished me, believed in me, and expanded my capacity simply by standing beside me. No poem could ever capture my gratitude—so instead, I choose to live it. A life as poetry. Gratitude expressed in motion, and in stillness when needed.And third: my teachers: those who have walked this path long before me, who initiated me into this lineage, who continue to pray for me as I step into a new level of responsibility and service.Austin has embraced me with open arms. Casa de Luz, the wellness village where Ojas Oasis has found its physical home, feels less like a location and more like family. It is my great honor to step into the role of Austin's village Vaidya and to open the doors of Ojas Oasis as a living, breathing space for healing.I'm so excited to share this journey with you, what it's taken to bring a soul vision into form, the lessons along the way, and what it truly means to build something rooted in devotion, community, and ancient wisdom.May The Divine continue to protect and guide our collective healing journey and bless this space." - SashaSend us a textFor 20% off Kerala Ayurveda products, use code OjasOasis at checkoutFor 20% off GarryNSun products, use code OJASOASIS20 at checkoutFor 20% off Ora Cacao products, use OJASOASIS20 at checkout Receive $500 off your Panchakarma retreat at SoHum Healing Resort with code OjasOasisPK2025 Support the showTo learn more about working with us, please visit www.OjasOasis.com Connect with us @ojasoasis on Instagram, X, TikTok, and YouTube

Is Nepal in Serious Danger?. Nepal's national security is facing increasing challenges amid rising geopolitical pressure, internal instability, and regional refugee movements. In this in-depth podcast, Hemanta Malla Thakuri, former DIG of Nepal Police and national security expert, Santosh Kumar Dhakal, retired Major General of the Nepal Army, and Jason Vaidya, renowned geopolitical analyst, come together to discuss some of the most critical security threats facing Nepal today. The conversation begins with the Rohingya refugee issue and the possibility of Rohingya refugees entering Nepal. The experts explain what the Rohingya crisis is, whether Nepal is being strategically used, and how refugee movements can impact Nepal's internal security and national security policy. They analyze whether these developments are coincidental or part of broader South Asian geopolitics. The discussion then expands into Nepal's national security challenges, including border security, political aggression, diplomatic tensions involving China and the United States, and concerns surrounding voting rights based on residence. The guests also examine Nepal's social issues, internal unrest, and how governance decisions—such as selling government factories—can affect long-term security. This episode provides rare insights from former top military and police leadership combined with geopolitical analysis, making it essential viewing for anyone interested in Nepal geopolitics, security threats, refugee policy, and political stability.

In Future of the Forest: Struggles over Land and Law in India (Cornell UP, 2025), Anand P. Vaidya tells the story of the making and unmaking of India's Forest Rights Act 2006, a law enacted to secure the largest redistribution of property in independent India by recognising the tenure and use rights of millions of landless forest dwellers. Beginning with the devastating destruction of a north Indian village Vaidya calls Ramnagar, inhabited by landless Dalits and Adivasis, the book follows the interventions of activists, forest dwelling communities, political parties, and corporations during the drafting of the law and traces how each of these coalitions shapes the law's implementation. Vaidya shows how this ambitious law became a battleground of competing legal potentialities — at once a tool of exclusion, dividing forest dwellers along caste and class lines, and yet a platform for resistance, enabling forest dwellers to challenge State domination. A multi-scalar study, Future of the Forest is attentive to the everyday politics of staking a forest rights claim, revealing how the law opens space for fluid (and often extralegal) interpretations, shifting political authority, and diverging aspirations. Anand Vaidya is Associate Professor of Anthropology at Reed College. Raghavi Viswanath is a postdoctoral researcher and teaching fellow at SOAS, University of London. Her research, supported by the Leverhulme Trust, examines how pastoralists claim grazing rights under India's Forest Rights Act 2006 and how the everyday processes of staking such claims has been impacted by the authoritarian turn in India. LinkedIn. Email: rv13@soas.ac.uk Learn more about your ad choices.

Tulsi is regarded as a divine plant in ayurveda. It is loaded with medicinal properties, particularly for the physical and vibrational heart, the skin, and the lungs, as attested in the Charak Samhita, the millennia-old Sanskrit text that Vaidya reads and translates during the session. It is also a mandatory feature in any Krishna temple, in India and across the world, where live Tulsi plants are grown in dedicated areas of the temple. This lecture by Vaidya Ramakant Mishra is part of the video seminar "Dravya Guna - Ayurvedic Pharmacopeia", a once-in-a-lifetime series of conferences held at the Prana Center over a three-month span in 2009. The whole collection of lectures totals 45 hours of tutorials, available as streaming videos at www.VaidyaMishra.com.

In this live seminar, Vaidya Ramakant Mishra explains the profound significance of the word "Trupti" as it relates to the vibrational energy of nature, highlighting the millennia-old understanding of Prana recorded in the form of sacred chants in the ancient scriptures. Vaidya also elaborates on the impact of that energy on our health and modern lifestyle. Some topics covered (with approximate timecode) are: 1) Soma craving for emotional reasons (24:00) 2) Hierarchy of tastes: sweet, sour, salty, pungent, bitter, and astringent (37:00) 3) Advice on eating with mental focus on the meal and avoiding distractions (43:00) 4) Differences in the digestion of yogurt and milk (50:00) 5) Differences between honey and sugar (52:00) 6) Spices: turmeric, cumin, coriander seeds, fenugreek, black pepper, cinnamon, ginger, green and black cardamom (55:00) 7) Gymnema tea and silver needle tea (1:07:00) 8) Protein and probiotics (1:15:00)

Lord Caitanya said 'devotee Vaidya.' The Vaishnava, is a doctor. Doctors got a little black bag. Doctors used to make home calls, and Lord Chaitanya says, 'What does he have in that little bag?' That little black bag? The doctor, the Vaishnava doctor, has hymns and instructions—two things to cure the disease of Maya. And it requires this personal touch. Somebody's going to knock on the door. Otherwise, what are they going to do? I'll give you one guess what they're going to do. It starts with an 'S' and ends with two 'L's: Everyone's scrolling! Used to be watching television, but now it's just scrolling. Nobody's doing anything but scrolling. That's why people can't pass a budget. That's why people can't get along. They're too busy scrolling. So, until we knock on the door and say, 'Hare Krishna, and here, please, please be our friend.Radha Krishna bolo, Sange Cholo, ei matra bhikha chai. Our bhikha is only asking people, 'Why don't you just come and chant Hare Krishna with us?' Because you can't have any more fun than we're having in the Krishna conscious movement. It's impossible, because this is the spiritual world. It's just flat-out fun to be with devotees, to chant Hare Krishna, to read Bhagavad Gita. This is the real life. Everything else is a wanna-be life, and it just isn't working. So Krishna again and again gives opportunity, and his touch is very personal. It's one point I'd like to make today: everything's personal. And I'm charmed, frankly charmed, when I read in the Second Canto of the Srimad Bhagavatam, 'kare spṛśan,' which means that Krishna shook Brahma's hand and he said, 'Bhadram te -Good luck, Brahma.' "See, that feels good. Everyone wants to do that. If we go in sankirtan, if you're on a road with busy traffic and you see somebody on the other side of the street and you go like this (shows a fist bump), they'll cross traffic, risking life and limb of being run over just to do this, because everyone's missing that. They don't have the personal touch. They want somebody to reach out to them and say, 'Oh, please, touch my soul. Touch my heart.' They can't get it in the material world because everyone's busy with themselves, being frustrated again and again in the love that's professed here. Maybe there's a glimmer, but we can't hold it. People are looking for that deep, loving exchange with Suhrit, their old friend, Krishna. So when Krishna starts the Sampradaya, he puts his good will into it. He speaks to Brahma; he shakes Brahma's hand. He tells him, 'Good luck with making this creation and also passing down the knowledge so that people can take it,' and it's an unbroken line of discipline succession. There are detours, but it's an eternal message that comes down, and Srila Vyasadeva helps to put it into order so that we can take advantage of it and distribute it to others. So we have a lifetime—or many lifetimes—of service, it's an eternal service to enter into that. ------------------------------------------------------------ To connect with His Grace Vaiśeṣika Dāsa, please visit https://www.fanthespark.com/next-steps/ask-vaisesika-dasa/ ------------------------------------------------------------ Add to your wisdom literature collection: https://iskconsv.com/book-store/ https://www.bbtacademic.com/books/ https://thefourquestionsbook.com/ ------------------------------------------------------------ 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 ------------------------------------------------------------

In this episode of the Indian Business Podcast, we sat down with Arjun Vaidya (founder of Dr. Vaidya's) and now a leading investor at V3 Ventures. From bootstrapping an Ayurvedic legacy brand and facing rejections, to scaling during the D2C boom and exiting in a ₹144 Cr deal, Arjun shares raw lessons from the founder's side of the table. He then flips the lens as an investor, breaking down how pitches are actually evaluated, what “Right to Win” really means, and why product-market fit is the ultimate game-changer. Along the way, he dives into the myths of fundraising, the importance of vibe-matching with investors, and common mistakes founders make while chasing growth. Packed with frameworks, case studies, and honest insights, this conversation is a must-watch for entrepreneurs, operators, and anyone who wants to understand the future of Indian consumer brands.►Think School's flagship Communication course with live doubt sessions : https://thethinkschool.com/sp/communication-masterclass/►Follow Think School Social Media: Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@ThinkSchool►Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/thethinkschool?igsh=NWg2ZXRyZmdsM2ds&utm_source=qr

“There is no curable disease in the universe which has cannot be effectively cured by śilājatu, [but only] when administered at the appropriate time, in combination with suitable herbs and by adopting the prescribed protocol”.~ Caraka Samhitā, authoritative classical Ayurveda textI'm Dylan Smith, an Ayurveda practitioner and educator, and in case you have not heard of Shilajit, it is one of Ayurveda's most revered herbal substances.This potent, mineral-rich resin sourced from rocky mountains is rapidly gaining popularity in Western supplement markets for its purported energising and rejuvenating effects. In this episode, we aim to disrupt the growing fad of shilajit as a dietary supplement in wellness communities.We'll challenge the notion that shilajit—prized in Ayurveda for its potent healing properties—can be casually consumed. Much of what's sold is adulterated or harvested improperly, and often lacks proper purification. We'll explore essential Ayurvedic principles like correct dosage, the right vehicle (anupāna), and a tailored diet (pathya) to balance shilajit's intense qualities and ensure safety and efficacy. When these elements are neglected, shilajit's benefits can be lost—or even become harmful—underscoring the need for proper guidance in its use.My guests include Dr. Sumit Kesarkar, who has spent over two decades harvesting shilajit indigenously across Asia, and the renowned Raju family of Ayurvedic doctors: Vaidya J.R. Raju, Vaidya Pavani Raju, and Vaidya Harsha Raju. Together, we'll offer practical insights on sourcing authenticity, safe usage, and time-tested ways to honour shilajit's role as a powerful rasayana.IN THIS EPISODE WE DISCUSS:

Bikram Vaidya grew up in Kathmandu, the capital of Nepal, and ran a pub there for years before coming to the U.S. to get a culinary arts degree at Western Culinary Institute/Le Cordon Bleu in Portland, Oregon.

For the last 15 years he has been dedicated to cataloguing the cuisines of his homeland. Vaidya has trekked across Nepal and spent time staying with families to learn their recipes and the cultural traditions behind their ingredients. Viadya’s new cookbook, “The Mystic Kitchens of Nepal,” came out a few months ago. He joins us to discuss the work.

Episode 374 Vaidya Jayarajan Kodikannath aka Dr. J represents a lineage of Ayurveda Practitioners from Kerala, India. He is the CEO and Academy Director of Kerala Ayurveda (USA).  Colette chats with Dr. J about long Covid and they discuss the following: What is long Covid.

One of the most important aspects of walking the spiritual path - which is really just a path of freedom through inner refinement - is finding a good teacher. A good teacher enables us to stay connected to our intention by reminding us, again and again, should we forget that intention…whilst getting lost in the wild jungle of the untrained monkey mind. We are all together in this grand classroom, for our soul to play out the karmas that it needs to play out, to learn what it needs to learn on its way home, to the place beyond form, and beyond time. On the heels of yet another holiday season, we close out 2024, and interestingly, this year we are doing it on a New Moon. What better time to take stock of our lives, as we enter this new moon and new year. What better time to realize the abundant nature of the Universe, the many gifts we have been given, and how many of those gifts are immaterial, and actually, in the form of teachers, healers, and friends. People we have learned from, people who have been our guiding light in times of darkness. Today's guest, is one such beloved teacher, healer, and friend to many. We could introduce Ramkumar as a Vaidya, a Vedic Scholar, and one of the founding doctors of Vaidyagrama, an Ayurvedic Healing Village in Coimbatore, India that has helped thousands of people heal from around the world through the ancient practice of Panchakarma. We could make a list of his keynote speeches at various international conferences, share personal testimonies of how his satsangs and teachings have impacted me and fellow students, patients, colleagues, and friends of his. But, none of these descriptions seem to encapsulate him. Because this would be describing someone who identifies with their ego, and Ramkumar simply does not. What he is, or who he is, is an actual embodiment of Ayurveda; a living, breathing, flowing, channel of the Vedas, and we are so thankful that today, we get to share him with all of you. May you sit with this conversation, particularly his words, with an open mind and soft heart, and may the doors of curiosity continue to open you to places within yourself that have the answers that you are looking for. Send us a textSupport the showTo learn more about us, please visit www.OjasOasis.com Connect with us @ojasoasis on Instagram
