Ever wondered what makes a mantra truly powerful? Is it the precision of pronunciation, the ancient lineage it comes from, or the sincerity of the heart behind it?In this episode, Dylan speaks with Purnesh (formerly Swami Purnachaitanya), a teacher and practitioner who has spent over twenty years immersed in the Vedic tradition of mantra. Together they explore what mantra really is - not just words or sounds, but vibrations that carry & enliven consciousness itself. The conversation traces Purnesh's own journey of initiation and study, the importance of authentic transmission, and how mantras can shape not only our spiritual practice but also our daily lives.This is a grounded, heartfelt exploration of a subject often clouded by mystery and misconception. Whether you're curious about starting a mantra practice or seeking to deepen your understanding, this episode offers clarity, wisdom, and inspiration for engaging with sound as a profound tool for transformation.IN THIS EPISODE WE DISCUSS:

In this episode of Point of Convergence, Darren/Exo asks: why does this gnostic notion of our waking experience not being ultimately real prove so enduring? Why does some version of this perspective show up over and over again within human experience; evident in everything from Vedanta to Buddhism to Jungian depth psychology? Perhaps even more compellingly—at least to modern ears—why are elements of this perspective evident in our most cutting-edge physics, astronomy and neuroscience? More to the point, if this is indeed a truer apprehension of ultimate reality, then what are the implications, and how now shall we live?

Yet I marvel at how this great wealth has come to dwell in this poverty." In this saying Jesus is leading people beyond metaphysical and philosophical questions in order to point them to Reality that is beyond ideas. It is common in religious and spiritual circles for people to be dogmatic about their views.

In order for us to be able to care for others, we must first care for ourselves by letting go of practices such as self-criticism and doubt. Ahimsa (non-harming) is not only about refraining from causing harm to others - it also applies to ourselves. By switching from having a reactive mind to a more reflective intellect, we can make choices that support our needs instead of our wants. Focusing on convenience over comfort fosters the idea of aparigraha (non-possessing) and helps us prioritize peace over attachment. In this season of Live Vedanta, we are sharing insights on Courageous Caregiving through Vibhishana Gita.

They trace Sri Ramakrishna's Vijñāna Vedanta, Vivekananda's pluralism, and the nuanced view of bhakti traditions like Gaudiya Vaishnavism. How do we honor diverse spiritual experiences without falling into hierarchy—or relativism? Can rasa and Brahman co-exist? What is lost when we flatten God into one single face?

« Pour ceux qui aspirent à la plus haute félicité, le Yoga Vasistha est pareil au nectar. C'est un puits de sagesse.  » Swami Venkatesananda. A ceux qui désirent connaître le sens de la vie, on prescrit depuis la nuit des temps la lecture et l'étude des Ecritures. En se fondant sur de telles sources, ils ne sont jamais induits en erreur. Le Yoga Vasishtha décortique la conscience, notre perception du monde, sa dissolution ultime, la libération de l'âme et la création de l'univers, du point de vue du sage libéré. Parmi les grands monuments fondateurs de la pensée hindoue, il est une référence incontestée en matière d'Advaita Vedanta. Abondamment citée par les grands maîtres, cette oeuvre intemporelle fait partie de ces textes radicaux qui vont droit à l'essentiel, bousculent et répondent à toutes les questions. Attribué à Valmiki, voleur devenu sage, également auteur du Ramayana, le Yoga Vasishtha présente l'enseignement du saint Vasishtha à son élève, le prince Rama, alors en proie au doute et au découragement. Ses trente-deux mille versets dispensent la connaissance ultime, depuis la création du monde jusqu'à la transcendance absolue qu'est notre identité véritable. Ses multiples éclaircissements, ses contes révélateurs regorgeant d'analogies et ses répétitions nécessaires, tant l'ego et le mental sont retors, font de l'enseignement de Vasishtha un guide fiable. Il apaise immanquablement et le tourbillon des pensées ralentit pour laisser poindre peu à peu la quiétude. Disciple proche du grand maître de Yoga et de Vedanta, Swami Sivananda [1887-1963] de la Divine Life Society de Rishikesh, Swami Venkatesananda [1921-1982] nous offre ici la quintessence absolue du Yoga Vasishtha. Parue en anglais il y a bien longtemps, sa traduction est la version de référence. L'essentiel, autant que l'essence des trente-deux mille versets de l'oeuvre originale, s'y retrouve, inaltéré, dans toute sa pureté et sa puissance salvatrice. Troisième section du Yoga Vasistha traitant de la création. Ce chapitre traite de l'irréalité de la création.   Bibliographie: Le Yoga Vasistha par Swami Venkatesananda, traduction de Patrice Repusseau, éditions Inner Quest (https://www.babelio.com/livres/Venkat...)   Musique: Bruno Léger   Narration et réalisation: Bruno Léger   Production:  Les mécènes du Vieux Sage   Que règnent la paix et l'amour parmi tous les êtres de l'univers.    OM Shanti, Shanti, Shanti.

This episode is on the 27th saying of Jesus in the Gospel of Thomas. It is actually two sayings. One is about finding the Kingdom of God. The other is about seeing the Father. These are both ways of talking about spiritual awakening. He talks about this in the context of the spiritual disciplines of fasting and Sabbath. The first is about true fasting. The second is about true Sabbath-keeping.It reads: "If you do not fast from the world, you will not find the Kingdom. If you do not observe the sabbath as a sabbath you will not see the Father." I understand these sayings as talking about space and time – spacetime - from a nondual perspective. In other words the world is not what you think it is. View Marshall's books here: https://www.amazon.com/stores/Marshall-Davis/author/B001K8Y0RU

Guru Paduka Stotram is a powerful set of well-known devotional verses that glorify the sacred “Padukas (Sandals) of the Guru. Why are the padukas or sandals sacred? Because of association with the feet of the guru. In the Vedic culture, the guru as well as his/her feet are worshipped. The feet represent the path taken by the teacher, the path prescribed by the Vedas of a life of Dharma and Moksha.  The verses in this stotram describe the glory of the Guru-padukas, the qualities of the guru and how a seeker's life transforms with a Guru's grace.

This episode is on saying 26 in the Gospel of Thomas. Jesus said, "You see the sliver in your friend's eye, but you don't see the timber in your own eye. When you take the timber out of your own eye, then you will see well enough to remove the sliver from your friend's eye."This saying in the Gospel of Thomas has a famous parallel in the Gospel of Matthew in the Sermon on the Mount where Jesus says, “Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother's eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye? How can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,' when all the time there is a plank in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother's eye.”The differences between the canonical and noncanonical versions are few but important. They are the difference between duality and nonduality.View Marshall's books here: https://www.amazon.com/stores/Marshall-Davis/author/B001K8Y0RU

Episode Summary:Growing up evangelical required a preoccupation with external behaviors and moral performance, or what I now understand as sin management. My spiritual life was fear based. Behaviors like sexuality, masturbation, swearing, or drinking were litmus tests of spiritual maturity. The more you controlled, hid, or projected your external behaviors onto others, the closer you were to God. Behavior modification, external conformity, and the avoidance of sin was my ticket out of Hell. In evangelicalism, I was a problem to be fixed, not a person to be loved. What an anemic and harmful understanding of spirituality.Leaving white evangelicalism meant finding deeper streams of spiritual wisdom. Instead of this hyper-fixation on what I was doing, inner Christianity helped me recognize God's eternal presence at the core of my being, no matter what I was doing. God isn't some external deity I need to placate, God is the lover of my soul. As I spiritually mature, I'm coming to realize the importance of cultivating my inner life instead of worrying about external behaviors. Or as Rainer Maria Rilke wrote, “The only journey is the one within."External Christianity is about salvation in the afterlife. Inner Christianity is about personal transformation in this life. Contemplative or inner spirituality doesn't ignore sin—it just approaches it differently. Instead of managing sin, it invites us to be still, to listen, and to let God transform us at the root. “Christ did not preach a mere ethical or social gospel but an uncompromisingly spiritual one. He declared that God can be seen, that Divine perfection can be achieved,” writes Swami Prabhavananda in his seminal work The Sermon on the Mount According to Vedanta. Where does this leave us? How do we cultivate our interior life instead of focusing so much on externals? How do we focus on roots instead of fruits? I rarely quote Augustine, but he's on point about this. "Do not look outside; return to yourself. In our interior the truth resides.” I'll give that an amen. In this final episode in season five, I'm honored to be joined by psychotherapist, philosopher, and mystic Dr. Mark Vernon. Mark is a writer, psychotherapist and former Anglican priest. He contributes to programs on BBC radio, writes and reviews for newspapers and magazines, gives talks and frequently podcasts. His books cover themes including friendship and God, William Blake and Dante, ancient Greek philosophy and wellbeing.

As a new generation joins the search for understanding and meaning in our ambiguous and uncertain world, there's a growing resurgence of interest in the Shadow—Carl Jung's famous term for the aspects of ourselves that hide in our unconscious yet often drive behaviors we'd rather not repeat. In this podcast, Tami Simon speaks with acclaimed Jungian therapist and author Dr. Connie Zweig about her life's mission to help us grow in self-awareness and move toward personal and collective healing by learning how to work with the Shadow.  This aha-moment-filled conversation explores: meeting the Shadow on the spiritual path; ego formation during childhood; the concept of repression and the problem with the closet metaphor; why the Shadow hides—and when it erupts; "romancing the Shadow"; three cues to explore with respect to compulsive behaviors; "Shadow characters" and the practice of personifying aspects of the Shadow; the intergenerational aspect; engaging Shadow work at midlife; the superego; projection in relationships; sharing our secrets; money, sex, and power; shifting from a persona marriage to a Shadow marriage; the Vedanta tradition and the teaching on leshavidya, "the remains of ignorance"; the moral development missing in many spiritually advanced practitioners; illusions, idealizations, and archetypal projections; why the first reaction to meeting the Shadow is denial; Shadow projection in the politics of our times; step one: self-examination; bridging inner work and outer work wisely; how to practice "holding the tension of opposites"; cultivating nonduality in your own psychology; the "third thing" and the transcendent function; and more.

This episode covers the twenty-third saying of Jesus in the Gospel of Thomas. Jesus says: "I shall choose you, one from a thousand and two from ten thousand, and they will stand as a single one." Here is a slightly different translation: "I shall choose you, one out of a thousand, and two out of ten thousand, and you shall stand as a single one." This verse deals with the rarity of spiritual awakening and the nature of spiritual awakening. In discussing the nature of awakening I will explore the three spiritual stages of life leading to awakening.  View Marshall's books here: https://www.amazon.com/stores/Marshall-Davis/author/B001K8Y0RU
