« 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: Ethereal Ephemera (https://etherealephemera.bandcamp.com/track/slowly-drifting-across-the-horizon-ii)   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 is Part 1 of our 4-part A Back to School Series on Live Vedanta. From navigating loneliness and evolving friendships to maintaining family connections from a distance, this conversation offers Vedantik tools for clarity and self-rootedness during young adulthood. Whether you're starting college or simply stepping into a new chapter, this episode reminds you that even through change, you can grow with intention and connection. In this episode, Sumanji sits down with Akshaya to explore what it means to live away from home while staying anchored within. Having grown up always hearing from his parents, “we want you to be happy, we want you to be independent,” Sumanji strove to do just that in all the ways society and the world had to offer. Leaving medical school in hopes of achieving more fulfillment through a career in IT, Sumanji found himself still wanting, wondering what it meant to be truly happy, truly independent. It was clear happiness was what everyone desired for themselves and each other, but it remained ever elusive. It was then that Sumanji went to his first Satsang in Pittsburgh, PA, and met Shri Vivek Gupta, who shared with him the knowledge of Advaita Vedanta. Convinced and compelled that he, too, could experience this for himself, Suman joined the two-year residential Vedanta course under the guidance of Pujya Swami Prakashananda at Chinmaya Mission's ashram in Trinidad & Tobago.Returning in 2018, Sumanji now lives in Providence, RI, where he works full-time as an Information Technology Manager. He serves Chinmaya Mission Niagara and Cleveland through various classes and study groups, traveling every opportunity he gets to share the message that gave his life meaning: that perpetual, independent joy is one's nature.Register to be a part of our Seeking Culture CommUnity for young adults.Edited by Dhruv Panicker.Follow Seeking Culture on Instagram

What if the deepest structures of mind and cosmos were one and the same? Could the mystery of consciousness be illuminated through the physics of black holes, the archetypes of Jung, or the eternal ideas of Plato?This conversation with Dr. Todd Desmond, philosopher of mind and consciousness, ventures into that threshold. Dr. Desmond's work investigates singularity as both a physical and psychological reality, drawing connections between philosophy, depth psychology, and cosmology. Together we follow the strange symmetry that links psyche and singularity — from Einstein's equations to Jung's archetypes, from Hegel's Absolute Idea to the holographic principle.Along the way, we consider whether the self itself might be understood as a singularity, what this implies for synchronicity and kairos, and how myth, art, and philosophy open new ways of conceiving the real.At the centre of this dialogue lies a question that reverberates through both science and spirit: is the mind a black hole?00:14 – What is a Singularity?03:48 – Black Holes & Physics07:21 – Jung, Pauli & Mirror Symmetry13:29 – Mathematical Forms & Ideas16:01 – Psyche = Singularity?20:09 – Hegel's Absolute Idea24:45 – The Self as Singularity28:20 – Science Fiction & Plexity36:14 – Myth, Cosmology & Science40:06 – Vedanta, Atman & Brahman50:55 – Wheeler's One Electron1:01:04 – Hegel, Jung & Mandala1:07:14 – Jung's Near-Death Experience1:13:42 – Holographic Principle1:20:56 – Black Hole Wars1:27:16 – Synchronicity & Kairos1:34:42 – Art & Metamorphosis1:40:06 – Heaven on Earth

Send us a textHow do you know you're not insane?In this profound and mind-bending conversation, host Lira Ndifon sits down with author and philosopher Justin Witte to discuss his lifelong journey with a rare organic brain disorder and his book, The Shadowed Soul. Justin offers a rare, first-hand account of living with a thought disorder like schizophrenia, explaining how he uses ancient philosophy and modern science to navigate a mind that overproduces dopamine. This episode is a courageous look beyond the veil of "normalcy" to question the very nature of reality itself.Justin challenges the core of our beliefs, arguing that in a world of paradoxes, the only thing any of us can truly know is our own consciousness—the simple awareness of "I am". He shares how he has used single-pointed concentration meditation to gain control over his mind, manage his symptoms, and find peace in a brain that was once overwhelmingly loud. This is not just a discussion about mental health; it's a guide to separating your true self from the chaos of your thoughts.This is a must-listen for anyone who has ever felt controlled by their own mind. You will discover:The Inner Workings of Schizophrenia: A clear, lived-experience explanation of a thought disorder versus a mood disorder, and the impact of dopamine-blocking medication.The Paradox of Sanity: Why most "sane" people can't question their own sanity and how we all believe things that aren't true.The Power of "I Am": Learn about the Vedantic concept that our true, unchanging self is pure consciousness, and that identifying with our body and mind is the source of all our problems.Meditation as Medicine: How Justin uses the practice of Trataka to empty his mind, abate delusions, and train his brain for profound mental control.This conversation is an invitation to look beyond your labels and diagnoses and connect with the one thing that never changes: the witness within.If this episode challenged you to think deeper, please show your support by liking, following, and subscribing to the Self-Reflection Podcast on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, YouTube, and wherever you listen.

Broadly speaking, there are to archetypical non-dual traditions, two very valid paths to bliss: The Non-Duality of Total Negation (Classical Advaita) & Kālī's Non-Duality of Total Acceptance (i.e Tāntrik Non-Duality or paramadvāya). Of course there are infinite shades of nuance and variation in between these two extremes. In this talk, we do a comparison of these two extreme models (or rather, flavor)s of non-dual Sādhanā, playing off of some ideas from last week's “Who Should Worship Kālī? | Dakṣiṇa Kālī vs Smaśāna Kālī” talk! This lecture is mostly a theoretical survey of the absolute state of realization which can anyone anywhere can attained through grace (i.e, sudden spontaneous insight) of course, but which is more likely to be a result of sincere spiritual practice! As for the practical side of this discussion, you might like to pair this talk with the What Do You Need To Start Worshipping Kālī & Practicing Tantra? lecture from two weeks ago! PS: you might find this lecture somewhat reminiscent of Who Created The World? | Vedanta vs Tantra and also Who or What is God? | Vedanta vs Tantra but we've certainly developed the ideas quite a bit since then! Support the showLectures happen live every Monday at 7pm PST and Friday 10am PST and again Friday at 6pm PST.Use this link and I will see you there:https://www.zoom.us/j/7028380815For more videos, guided meditations and instruction and for access to our lecture library, visit me at:https://www.patreon.com/yogawithnishTo get in on the discussion and access various spiritual materials, join our Discord here: https://discord.gg/U8zKP8yMrM

Spirituality can be a powerful force for healing, but what happens when it becomes a mask for avoidance? In this conversation, our guest Ananta Ripa Ajmera explores the rising phenomenon of spiritual bypassing: using spiritual language to escape responsibility, dismiss effort as “divine timing,” or rationalize inaction as destiny.Ananta offers radical responsibility as the antidote: taking full ownership of our choices and recognizing that karma shapes every dimension of life. Drawing on Ayurveda and her own wisdom, she explains how true healing requires more than herbs and therapies; it demands selfless service, emotional honesty, and courage to face our inner wounds.Episode HighlightsSpiritual Bypassing and InactivityReal Meaning of Navratri Karma, Forgiveness, and ServiceBhagavat Gita and Krishna's LessonsThe Path of Radical ResponsibilityTimestamps00:00 – 09:45: Introduction and Spiritual Bypassing09:45 – 22:12: The Goddess Journey Through Chakras22:12 – 24:41: New Beginnings, Forgiveness, and Service24:42 – 31:44: The Essence of the Bhagavad Gita31:45 – 36:52: Friendship with the Self and the Power of Truth36:53 – 42:23: Conflict as Medicine and the Practice of Sthitaprajna42:23 – 51:57: The Path of Radical Responsibility51:57 – 01:01:12: The Essence of Spiritual HealingAbout Ananta Ripa Ajmera A spiritual teacher and 10-time award-winning, 2-time bestselling author of The Way of the Goddess and The Ayurveda Way.

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?

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.

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.
