Henry David Thoreau wrote, "The price of anything is the amount of life you exchange for it." With every choice, we're trading the moments of our life for something. The Vedic tradition asks: what is it actually worth – material prosperity? Liberation? Bhakti Vedanta points higher — divine love, connection with the very origin of your existence. In this episode Raghunath and Kaustubha explore the meaning of Krishna's Lila, which may sound like mythology or a fairy tale. But at the pinnacle of Vedantic thought, after hundreds of thousands of Sanskrit verses building a complete philosophy of existence, we arrive here: Krishna is the origin and sustainer of all that is. And beyond that — his intimate love makes one forget all worldly attachments and gives the highest fulfillment the soul can find.

If creation is God's play, why do we suffer? It's one of the oldest questions in philosophy — and the Srimad Bhagavatam answers it through the Rāsa Līlā. A full cup doesn't drink. It overflows. Krishna doesn't enjoy with the gopīs the way we pursue romance — trying to fill something missing. He's imparting what's already overflowing. We're different. When we try to enjoy others, we're trying to enjoy what was never ours. Raghunath and Kaustubha explore that distinction alongside one of the deepest questions in Vedic thought — and the answer that only bhakti can give.

Jupiter has officially entered Cancer, and in this episode I explore one of the themes I've been noticing recently: Individuals being offered the opportunity to go deeper and reveal truths about themselves via triggers. Though not the most comfortable, these moments can provide powerful opportunities for healing and support us in getting to the root of old wounds, patterns, and emotional conditioning - ultimately leading to greater inner security and personal safety. As the guru of the zodiac, Jupiter illuminates what is True. This energy isn't limited to our personal lives... It may also be noticeable collectively. Truth may be exposed with important information, insights, and revelations. Realizations may emerge in the external world throughout this transit.We also discuss Mars in Taurus and the importance of focusing on long-term goals, sustained effort, and building something with a long term agenda. Mars conjunction with Uranus on July 4th brings the possibility of sudden events, unexpected experiences, breakthroughs, and heightened intensity. Finally, we review the temporary sweetness of Saraswati Yoga. This conjunction offers a softer and more harmonious energy for a bit at the end of June. This is a beautiful time to embrace creativity, learning, beauty, comfort, and the simple pleasures. It's a time of nourishment, kicking back, and inner fulfillment.

Everyone reviewed Disclosure Day. Almost nobody asked what it means for your soul.In Part 2 of our Disclosure Day series, we go past the hot takes and into the part the other reviews skipped: the spiritual, philosophical, and metaphysical weight of what Spielberg actually put on screen. If disclosure is real, what happens to God? To Christianity, Islam, the Vedic traditions? Is this a film… or a rollout?We get into the two warring shadow agencies, why disclosure looks more like a slow process than a single "day," the war.gov releases, the Book of Enoch and the Nephilim, Islam's surprising openness to life beyond Earth, the Dune-style "is it all scripted?" question, channelers and remote viewers, and where the line really is between healthy discernment and naive belief.This isn't a review. It's a decode for people who actually want to think.

That's exactly how this conversation started — and it only gets better from there.Laura sits down with author Jaclyn Goldis, whose upcoming novel The Last Time We Saw Her follows a group of former campers who return to the volcanic Azores Islands a decade after one of their own vanished — only for another death to shatter the reunion.

June 14 - 20: Create PeaceThis week begins with a new Moon at the very last degree of Taurus late in the day of Sunday, June 14th. Just after the Moon and Sun conjoin, both spill over into the sign of Gemini, where they join Mercury. The Sun and Mercury remain active and alert in Gemini through the week, giving the energy to move, travel, and organize new educational opportunities or business trajectories.The Moon continues to visit with the helpful, benefic planets through the week, passing through its own sign of Cancer and creating a beautiful spectacle in the evening sky with Venus and Jupiter.By Friday, the waxing Moon gains momentum, entering Leo and moving past Ketu, breaking the final pulse of Kala Amrita Yoga, where all planets are hemmed on one side of the nodal axis. This could feel like breakthrough, solving a puzzle, and gaining a modicum of freedom.The week finishes out with Mars moving from Aries to Taurus on Saturday, shifting our application of force toward settling in and committing to creative projects. This could feel like slowing down and moving away from defensive measures. Saturn will be aspecting Mars during his time in Taurus, which again encourages us to slow down, be present, and work with the materials on hand.Sunday June 14 : FINISH CHAPTERSMonday June 15:  FRESH STARTTuesday June 16:  HOPEFUL PREPARATIONWednesday June 17: CREATE PEACEThursday June 18: RIGHTEOUS TRANSACTIONSFriday June 19: FINAL BREAKTHROUGHSaturday June 20: REORIENT & RECONNECTHello!

The upcoming new moon on June 14th will take place in Mrigashira. This asterism is symbolized by the deer's head - representing the nature of the seeker... the part of ourselves that longs to explore, be curious, and pursue what feels meaningful and inspiring. This period of time may stir sensitivity, wanderlust, impulsivity, or curiosity, while also revealing the ways we search outside of ourselves for what can only be found within.In this episode, we'll explore the symbolism of Mrigashira, the gifts and challenges of this restless nakshatra, and how to work consciously with its energy. We will reflect on the difference between healthy curiosity and endless chasing and consider how devotion, discernment, and presence can guide us toward what we truly seek.

The wheels of justice grind slow, but fine. The truth eventually rises to the top. "Truth at last cannot be hidden. Nothing is hidden under the sun." Leonardo da Vinci wrote those words in his notebooks. Thousands of years earlier, Manu arrived at exactly the same place — the sky witnesses, the earth witnesses, the waters witness, and the God within the heart witnesses. There is an anxiety that comes with secrecy — a low-grade unease that will not go away. Whatever is true will find its way through. Raghunath and Kaustubha explore that principle alongside one of the most extraordinary moments in the Srimad Bhagavatam — where the name that the Vedic tradition has been building toward through thousands of verses finally rises to the surface, hidden inside a single Sanskrit word, like butter churned from yogurt.

Jupiter enters Cancer, the sign of its exaltation, marking one of the most anticipated transits of 2026. In this episode, we explore Jupiter in Cancer for all 12 signs and which area of life Jupiter will offer expansion and growth. We spend the first 17 minutes reviewing how this transit can impact the collective... I recommend listening and not skipping ahead because I discuss some transits we will experience later this year! Horoscopes: Aries: 17:21Taurus: 18:41Gemini: 20:53Cancer: 23:23Leo: 26:19Virgo: 29:25Libra: 31:30Scorpio: 33:10Sagittarius: 36:18Capricorn: 38:41Aquarius: 41:01Pisces: 44:44 D9 exploration:https://youtu.be/HTgYcjltyasCharacteristics of Your Spouse:https://youtu.be/i_cOvdSbjy0Soulmate Astrologyhttps://youtu.be/ExnDysvjzUwChristine:website: innerknowing.yogainstagram: astrologynow_podcastpatreon: patreon.com/astrologynowpodcast keywords: astrology, jyotish, Vedic astrology, sidereal astrology, nakshatras,  spirituality, Christine Rodriguez, aries, libra, scorpio, libra, capricorn, Nakshatra, new moon, taurus, Venus, Jupiter, Pisces, Spirituality, horoscope, retrograde, eclipse, solar eclipse, new moon, lunar eclipse

Fated EncountersWe follow the waning Moon into the gamut this week, as it will enter into the occupied zone of the zodiac after a couple of weeks of moving through the empty signs. Sun-Mon: Moon with Rahu in AquariusTues-Wed: Moon with Saturn in PiscesThurs-Fri: Moon with Mars in AriesSat: Moon joins Sun in Taurus. The new Moon will come at the last degree of Taurus on Sunday, June 14. The Moon visits with the heavy hitters this week, Rahu, Saturn, Mars and then Sun. In addition, when Moon reaches Pisces late on Monday, we click into our final pulse of full Kala Amrita Yoga from June 8 - 18. All of the visible planets will be hemmed on one side of the nodal axis formed by Rahu and Ketu, bringing the energy of fated circumstances and feelings of being stuck between a rock and a hard place.Other than the Moon, the only planet changing signs this week is Venus. On Monday, Venus moves from Gemini into Cancer, rejoining with Jupiter, who entered Cancer June 1. In addition to this combination supporting a number of things with a nurturing, positive, and forward looking signature, this will be a visually stunning combination that can be seen in the western sky after sunset.While Jupiter and Venus generally come with good intentions, there may be a bit of friction at the beginning of the week as Venus glides into Cancer, exactly conjoins with Jupiter, and glides ahead. When two planets are exactly conjoined and sharing the same degree of the zodiac, we call that planetary war, with the two planets vying for expression. By Wednesday, Venus will have cleared the battlefield, eliminating any competition for who can teach better, help more, or foster positive connections with more ease. This leaves Venus and Jupiter in good dignity, joining forces to improve life for all the people.Mercury in Gemini and Mars in Aries through the week are good tools to keep in the pocket when dealing with situations that arise beyond your control. Stay analytical, ready to pivot with plans and details. Facts and practical parameters help us stay grounded and on task.Daily Keywords:Sunday June 7 : STRATEGIC HEALINGMonday June 8: CROSS THE THRESHOLDTuesday June 9: PATIENT STRENGTHWednesday June 10: GRACEFUL COMPLETIONThursday June 11: DECISIVE ACTIONFriday June 12: RESPONSIBLE POWERSaturday June 13: PURIFY INTENTIONHello!

 What if the geometry of wholeness is already expressing itself through you? In this final episode of the Sacred Geometry mini-series, Joanne explores the dodecahedron: the geometry of ether, the fifth element, and the archetypal pattern of wholeness that underlies all living form.Drawing together the themes of the entire series, Joanne reveals how the dodecahedron contains the golden ratio within every face, how it relates to self-organisation, completion, and living presence, and why ancient traditions considered it the geometry of the cosmos itself…You'll discover:Why the dodecahedron is associated with ether and wholenessHow the pentagon and pentagram express the golden ratio (phi)Why five is the archetypal number of lifeThe role of decussation and crossing patterns throughout the bodyWhat chirality reveals about human form and developmentWhy sacred geometry is not abstract theory, but living anatomy in motionFrom fascia and physiology to Vedic mathematics, the Flower of Life, and the hidden patterns found throughout nature, this episode brings the journey full circle and lays the foundation for the next stage of exploration.This is the concluding episode of the first Sacred Geometry series, exploring the five Platonic solids and their relationship to fascia, embodiment, human architecture, and the deeper intelligence of life itself.

How can we reconcile the miracles of different, seemingly contradictory religions? If they all claim to be the only truth, who is lying? For the atheist, if every religion claims exclusive miracles that contradict each other, the most logical conclusion is that they are all making it up. The typical religious response, claiming our miracles are from God and theirs are from the devil (or just fake), is intellectually unsatisfying and only fuels tribalism.In this episode Swami Revatikaanta challenges these positions through the Hindu lens by asking the questions, “What if God is truly universal? What if He responds to the sincere longing of a person's heart, rather than the theological accuracy of their institution?” He opposes the typical apologist response from Frank Turek and grounds Alex O'Connor's expectation of compassionate reciprocation from God in a Vedic framework. Drawing on the profound, macro-level vision of the Bhagavad Gita and the Rig Veda, Swami explores how Sanatana Dharma solves this dilemma without invalidating anyone's profound personal experiences.Connect with the Community:

How do we break out of self-sabotage? Would you like to be happier? The mind is biologically programmed to be negative. Lisa continues the conversation today with renunciate monk and author Sadhvi Bhagawati Saraswati. Sadhvi has lived on the banks of the sacred Ganges River in Rishikesh, India, for the past 30 years. Originally from Los Angeles, and a graduate of Stanford University, she holds a Ph.D. in psychology. Sadhvi explains how we are the offspring of people who know they need to survive. Our ancestors needed to assume the worst, in order to survive. We have evolved this way. And, we know that we can now change. We can reprogram our minds. Sadhvi suggests using a mantra. It doesn't have to be in Sanskrit. It's anything that can bring you into the present moment and out of negativity. We can reason with our minds, and sometimes we need to face the negativity, but more often we can delete and end the cycle of negativity. "OM" is a very common mantra. It's very powerful. Chanting also helps. This stops the mind. She gives examples of many different mantras and prayers. The sounds help the brain go into a state of coherence. She also talks about attending the Maha Kumbh Mela where more than 670 million people came to the Ganges river recently to attend at the largest gathering in the history of the world. The Maha Kumbh Mela means the great festival of the nectar of immortality. It took place on the confluence of the banks of 3 great rivers in India.  There was no conflict, no violence; it was just people coming together in love and peace. She further discusses the astrology of the moment, especially the full moons. Vedic astrology predicts that this particular planetary alignment happens only once every 144 years. With hundreds of millions of people attending the gathering, this shows that people are suffering and looking for answers. People are angry. People are frustrated. People are searching for answers. This was a way to break out of constraints and experience freedom. When asked about anger, she expressed that there are some reasons to be angry including poverty, hunger, loss of human rights, and so much more. Yet, when we are angry, we are called to be agents of change, but first we must find peace within ourselves so we can then help others. She offers breathing exercises with specific energy centers and anchoring. Whether it's other people's action, or even the weather, we shouldn't have expectations that things will be different. We cannot control others. We must bring light to the darkness, but not from a place of anger. She notes Nelson Mandela, Martin Luther King, Jr, and Gandhi and how they were angry but came from a place of peace to make change.   Sadhvi is a bestselling author, a world-renowned speaker, a recipient of President Biden's Award for a Lifetime of Service, and she serves on the United Nations Advisory Council on religion. She talks further about her new book "Come Home to Yourself" and discusses how forgiveness is the key to help us reach deeper spiritual truths. It's an invitation to come home to freedom.

Most people spend their lives trying to understand who they are through achievement, performance, personality labels, or external validation yet still feel disconnected from themselves underneath it all.Executive coach and Vedic wisdom teacher Vish Chatterji explores the hidden relationship between consciousness, karma, leadership, and identity through the lens of Jyotish, the ancient science of Vedic astrology. What begins as skepticism from an engineer and MBA-trained executive evolves into a deeper exploration of self-awareness, emotional patterns, and soul-level alignment.Together they explore the difference between Western astrology and Vedic astrology, why so many leaders feel emotionally fragmented despite outward success, and how ancient systems can illuminate the hidden tensions we carry into work, relationships, and personal growth. Vish reframes astrology not as fate, but as a tool for consciousness; one that helps people recognize their strengths, karmic patterns, and deeper nature beneath ego and performance.Together, Amy and Vish reflect on intuition, manifestation, karmic debt, leadership, and the emotional freedom that can emerge when we stop resisting difficult experiences and begin seeing meaning inside them.At its core, this episode is an invitation to move beyond self-improvement as performance and toward a more conscious relationship with ourselves, our choices, and the lives we're creating.Moments That Create Momentum:When Achievement Stops Answering Deeper Questions – Explore why so many high performers continue searching for meaning, identity, and fulfillment long after external success arrives.The Gap Between Ego and Authentic Self – Discover how ancient wisdom traditions describe the tension between who we've learned to become and who we actually are underneath performance and survival.Why Leaders Keep Searching for Personality Frameworks – From Myers-Briggs to Vedic astrology, the episode explores humanity's deeper desire to feel understood beyond roles, titles, and productivity.Karma as Emotional and Relational Accountability – Reframing karma not as punishment, but as an energetic balancing process that shapes relationships, conflict, growth, and healing.The Danger of Outsourcing Inner Authority – A nuanced reflection on predictions, intuition, and why discernment matters when seeking guidance, certainty, or spiritual insight.About the Guest:Vish Chatterji is an East-meets-West executive coach, Vedic wisdom teacher, and author who helps people find deeper alignment and meaning in their work through the traditions of Yoga, Meditation, Ayurveda, Vedic Philosophy, and Jyotish (Vedic Astrology).

Click here to send me a quick message :) Traditional intact cultures, and systems like Ayurveda and TCM, all include not only physical and emotional healing but also speak to how the energetic layers of our beings impact our healing, too.Whether it's tuning into the medicine of the wheel of the year like Summer Solstice (the expansive, invigorating sunlight) or the harmonious dance of Yin and Yang or the subtle energies from the Vedic lens of Sattva, Rajas and Tamas, every system holds its own wisdom. What matters most is how these subtle energies truly impact us, what we notice, what we feel affinity towards and what works for each of us as unique individuals.The dance of light and dark, contraction and expansion, the underworld and above world, are part of the necessary path to healing. Without one we cannot have the other. I explore all of this in depth and share some reflective prompts and share some examples of herbs and foods that can help you cultivate some of the subtle energies as well. This was a total riffing episode, so I hope it offers some little gems for at least one of you since it just sort of flowed through!Resources:Today's shownotes: Subtle energies on your path to radiant wellbeingFree guide to Gardening for Your Hormonal HealthEpisode 172: What is vibrational medicine?

Nico is so full of life he's nearly bursting off the screen. In this episode we talk about mediation, acting from a place of centeredness, and overall emotional well being with things like processing pain and developing sensitivity to truth in your life. Enjoy! Chatgpt said this is what we talked about: Your mind can explain your pain for hours and still never touch the real release. We go straight into what changes when you stop trying to “think” your way to certainty and start working with the nervous system, the body, and the heart.We talk with Nico Dimatina about Vedic meditation and why mantra-based practice works like training wheels: you use the sound silently, it fades, and you land in real stillness. From there, we unpack why long-form meditation teacher training focuses so much on stored trauma, emotional baggage, and the subconscious patterns that run your reactions. Nico walks us through a full rounding sequence (toning, gentle yoga asana, shavasana, breathwork, then meditation) and explains how practices like alternate nostril breathing can help the body feel safe enough to unwind.We also zoom out into the bigger life questions: alignment versus achievement, why external success can't manufacture deep fulfillment, and what it means to “surrender” without checking out of your responsibilities. Nico shares a vivid story of asking for direction and having “Dubai” drop into consciousness during meditation. From qigong and meridians to psychedelics as plant medicine (with strong emphasis on guidance and integration), we keep bringing it back to what's practical: cultivating a steady inner baseline, then living from it.If this hit home, subscribe, share it with a friend who's stuck in their head, and leave a review with your biggest takeaway.

What if post-traumatic stress disorder, PTSD, is shaped not only by what happened, but by how much adaptation energy we had when it happened? In this episode, Thom explores stress, premature cognitive commitment, and why seemingly unrelated triggers can keep past overload alive in the nervous system. Thom also explains how Vedic Meditation helps dissolve accumulated stress and responds to a follow-up question about past-life trauma and karma.

Send us Fan MailWomen's Power To Heal Mother Earth" (Season 4, The New Earth)Episode 227: Love is the Only Way by Maya Tiwari.This episode explores a profound cosmic opportunity for immediate healing and liberation from a simulated, ego-driven reality. Maya Tiwari guides listeners to disconnect from societal programming and reclaim their true, divine essence—the One Self—through the power of universal love, vigilant boundary-setting, and ritualistic forgiveness.Key Themes & Takeaways1. The Cosmic Juncture for HealingThe Astrological Catalyst: A rare blue moon in Sagittarius (at its apogee) aligns with the Central Sun, stars, and portals. This occurs in the Vedic star of Anuradha (victory through devotion), readying humanity for the "great Solar Flash."Immediate Healing: This unique opening in time offers a rapid opportunity to heal wounds, mend relationships, and align with cosmic energies, provided we cast aside doubt.2. The Illusion of the "Simulation" and the EgoThe Fabricated Reality: The physical world is described as an "algorithm of illusion" and a "strategized simulation" that feeds on negative existence and manipulation.The Invention of Ego: The ego fractures our spirit by defining us through human lack, striving, and suffering ("I am this, I am not enough"), rather than our true nature as pure Being (Atman, or the I Am).3. The "Remote Control" and Galactic InterventionDivine Intervention: For the first time in millennia, beneficent "Galactic Light Beings" are intervening to free Earth using supreme technology connected to the Central Sun.The Remote: Humanity has been handed a metaphorical "remote control" powered by crystalline light. To break free from the simulation's programming, we simply need to press "Stop" and plug into universal love.4. Reclaiming the One Self Through Love and VigilanceThe Unified Self: By turning off the programming, we reconnect with the "One Self"—a universal, unconditional love that connects all human beings.Diligent Authority: When old habits of the simulation (angst, guilt, judgment) creep back in, Tiwari advises shutting them down with fierce authority, refusing to let the simulation feed on our energy.5. Healing Through Ritual ForgivenessEffortless Forgiveness: As the heart opens, forgiveness flows naturally. Tiwari emphasizes forgiving ourselves for our deepest, unshared mistakes, viewing them as vital opportunities for growth and compassion.The Release Ritual: Listeners are encouraged to write down their sorrows, speak them aloud, call upon a divine witness (such as Archangel Michael or Mother Durga), and ceremoniously burn the paper using incense, sage, or camphor.Core Message: Earth is a pristine paradise. By refusing to be manipulated by a false, ego-driven matrix and choosing to activate our divine "remote control," we can effortlessly dissolve old suffering, forgive our pasts, and step into universal love.Support the showMay Peace Be Your Journey:Maya's approach transcends modern feminism by advocating for a holistic restoration of balance, moving beyond the fight for basic rights to reclaiming the innate power of the divine feminine, which includes procreation, forgiveness, nourishment, and cosmic creativity. She stresses the importance of kindness, inner stillness, and compassionate self-  tools for healing individuals and society. www.mayatiwari.comwww.facebook.com/mayatiwariahimsa.Buzzsprout.comMothermaya@gmail.comGet Maya's New Book: I Am  Shakti:https://www.collectiveinkbooks.com/o-books/our-books/I-am-shaktiAmazon.comBookshop.org

June brings one of the biggest energetic shifts of the year as Jupiter enters Cancer, beginning a new 12-year cycle centered around nourishment, emotional intelligence, home, family, and security - internally and externally! This is a very exciting transit as Jupiter is truly a planet of opportunity, grace, growth, and expansion.We also discuss the formation of Saraswati Yoga in Cancer. This combination highlights themes of knowledge, creativity, education, and depth. The more intense transit for the month - Mars enters the sign of Taurus. This transit asks us to slow down, stabilize, and build with thoughtfulness rather than impulse. Mercury will retrograde at the end of the month, which may prompt reviewing plans or having us redo tasks.

“Everyone can understand that we drink the milk of cows and take the help of bulls in producing agricultural products. Therefore, since our real father gives us food grains and our mother gives us milk with which to live, the cow and bull are considered our father and mother. According to Vedic civilization, there are seven mothers, of which the cow is one.” (Shrila Prabhupada, Chaitanya Charitamrita, Adi 17.154, Purport)

The Vedic tradition lays out dharma with remarkable precision — the duties of a wife, a husband, a parent, a child, a citizen. The gopīs of Vrindavan take it deeper. In this episode Raghunath and Kaustubha explore the idea that authority is derived from the author of all existence. All the dharmas of this world, all the figures of authority in our lives, gain their legitimacy from the supreme source. And when the soul recognizes that source directly, then dharma goes beyond piety, to unveiling the purest nature of the self.

What does it actually mean to practice yoga — and are any of us really doing it? In this rich and unhurried conversation, Harmony sits down with Tara Mitra: Ashtanga teacher, yoga therapist, and devoted Vedic chanting practitioner who has spent decades tracing the practice back to its roots. Tara's path moved from high-stress corporate life in Toronto to studying Ashtanga with dedicated teachers in Canada and California, then four years assisting in the Mysore shala, and finally into the Krishnamacharya lineage in Chennai — where yoga therapy, pranayama, Vedic chanting, and philosophy became her deepest studies. Today she works with everyone from cancer patients to hospice clients, with the simple premise: if you can breathe, she can teach you something. This conversation is a slow, deliberate unwinding of everything we think we know about yoga — and an invitation back to what it actually is.   In this episode you'll explore: Why 'nobody is really practicing yoga' — and what that actually means The journey from Ashtanga to yoga therapy: what made Tara go deeper How chanting and philosophy naturally shift the inner landscape Samasthiti as 'the pregnant pause' — and why skipping it misses the point The monkey mind: drunk, stung by a scorpion, and haunted — and what practice does to each layer Chitta vritti nirodha and what the Yoga Sutras actually say about the mind Spiritual bypassing: the 'good vibes only' trap and premature transcendence The radical practice of doing nothing — no phone, no tea, just thirty minutes at a window Ayurveda and the body's natural rhythms in the age of artificial light and screen time The pancha vayus and why pranayama is far subtler than it looks The breath as the great friend — and its connection to spirit in every tradition Redefining the guru: someone who isn't caught in your own distortions Sangha: why community isn't optional on the path How beginners should start: not by thinking The butterfly mind vs. the stability of genuine practice Boundaries as an expression of love, not a closing off Equanimity (upeksha) as a lifelong practice, not a destination   Connect with Tara Mitra: Website: taramitrayoga.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/taramitrayoga/ Offerings: Yoga Sutras classes, Vedic chanting, Upanishad study, mentorship program   Resources mentioned: Yoga Sutras of Patanjali — chitta vritti nirodha (YS 1.2); the nine obstacles; YS 1.33 brahmaviharas Shanti mantra: Purnamadah Purnamidam (Brihadaranyaka Upanishad) Krishnamacharya lineage (Mysore & Chennai / Desikachar branch) Ashtanga trishthana — breath, drishti, bandha Ayurveda and the concept of natural daily rhythms (dinacharya) Harmony's upcoming Portugal workshops — harmonyslater.com/events The Inner Rejuvenation Codes: https://harmonyslater.kit.com/inner-rejuvenation-codes-mc Join the Lightworker Mastermind:  https://harmonyslater.com/lightworker-mastermind FIND Harmony online: https://harmonyslater.com/ Harmony on IG: https://www.instagram.com/harmonyslaterofficial/ Finding Harmony Podcast on IG: https://www.instagram.com/findingharmonypodcast/ FREE Manifestation Activation: https://harmonyslater.kit.com/manifestation-activation

I am coming to you this week from the forest in Oaxaca, Mexico, reflecting on how the cracks in an adobe wall are much like the flaws in our lives and relationships. Sometimes these flaws are exactly what make our paths so charming and beautiful. In this episode, we explore five major shifts happening right now. We discuss the transformational storms of Venus in Ardra, the importance of honest communication while Mercury is combust, and how to navigate the space between last week's New Moon in Krittika and next week's Full Moon in Anuradha. I hope this episode helps you release what you need to let go of, so you can prepare for the expansive growth coming as Jupiter moves into Cancer. Time to Say What Needs to Be SaidQUOTES"The theme for this week is that it's time to say what needs to be said." "In what is sustainable is not always so perfect."

Saturn's transit through in 2026 brings us into one of the most liminal, transitional, and spiritually charged spaces of the zodiac. Revati is connected to endings, release, wandering, surrender, and the journey between worlds. In this episode, we explore how Saturn's presence here may ask us to confront uncertainty, exhaustion, lack of direction, and the dissolution of what once gave us certainty.We review the emphasis on water already emerging in world events — from piracy and drug boats to increasing global focus on oil and gas. Neptune is also strongly activated - amplifying themes of confusion, escapism, longing, and disorientation. Saturn in Revati can feel like walking through fog: inspiration may wane, discipline may feel harder to access, and it is possible to feel suspended between chapters of life. This transit may feel like a grand purge - emotionally, spiritually, materially, or relationally, which can clear space for a completely new cycle to emerge.Saturn in Revati - may 17 - October 9, 2026 Feb 8, 2027 - June 3, 2027 Oct 20, 2027 - Feb 23, 2028D9 exploration:https://youtu.be/HTgYcjltyasCharacteristics of Your Spouse:https://youtu.be/i_cOvdSbjy0Soulmate Astrologyhttps://youtu.be/ExnDysvjzUwChristine:website: innerknowing.yogainstagram: astrologynow_podcastpatreon: patreon.com/astrologynowpodcast keywords: astrology, jyotish, Vedic astrology, sidereal astrology, nakshatras,  spirituality, Christine Rodriguez, aries, libra, scorpio, libra, capricorn, Nakshatra, new moon, taurus, Venus, Jupiter, Pisces, Spirituality, horoscope, retrograde, eclipse, solar eclipse, new moon, lunar eclipse

In today's episode I am joined by Carol Allen, Vedic astrologer and relationship astrology expert.Carol has spent over 35 years working with clients through the lens of Jyotish, the ancient Indian system of astrology. In this conversation we get into what Vedic astrology actually is, how it differs from Western astrology, and why it's been so deeply woven into Indian culture for thousands of years. We also explore what the chart can reveal about purpose, partnership, and timing and I get my own chart read live, including what's coming up for me in love (spoiler: it's a good window).If you've ever wondered whether the big things in your life are written, or felt like your purpose only really clicked later in life, this one will resonate.I trust you will get what you need from this episode, and make sure you come let me know how it resonated with you on instagram @the_human_design_coachBig love,MxxCarol's Details:Website: soulmatestars.comInstagram: @carolallenastrologerIf you would like a reading with Carol, email: carol@soulmatestars.comBodyGraph Chart SoftwareCreate your own Human Design chart tool with BodyGraphChart!

Everyone worships something. The rock star, the ideology, the bottle of wine, the beautiful person across the room. Dostoevsky identified it as an incessant, painful longing: so long as man remains free, he strives for nothing so persistently as to find someone worthy of complete surrender. We have free will — and where we invest our affection becomes our most important choice. In this episode Raghunath and Kaustubha explore that longing alongside the Vedic text's most sacred passage — where the gopi girls of Vrindavan invest everything in the very source of rasa itself.

Grace and devotion are often seen as qualities we need to embody for our spiritual progress, but are they a cause or an effect? In this episode, Thom responds to a guest question about grace and devotion, clarifying the Vedic view of omnipresence, the role of devotion, and why Unity lies beyond the experience of self and Other.It is a thoughtful exploration of evolutionary progress, deep inner consciousness, and the movement from friction to graceful living. Listen or watch for a clear and quietly radical reframing of two ideas that are often misunderstood.Episode Highlights[00:45] Q - Could you talk about grace and devotion?[00:56] A - Grace Means Relevant Living[03:39] Grace Emerges From Within[05:34] Devotion Begins With The Other[07:58] Omnipresence Must Be Everything[11:41] Science And The Unified Field[13:22] Devotion Is A Transitional Phase[14:45] Unity Lies Beyond DevotionUseful 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/

These are quantum command codes. Specifically architected affirmation sequences designed to lock in the merging between you and your future self. Every spiritual tradition has used a version of this — the Vedic tradition called them mantras, the Sufis called them dhikr, the Christian mystics called them prayers of the heart. The names change. The mechanism is identical. A specific arrangement of words, repeated with intention and feeling, restructures the consciousness of the person speaking them.     But most affirmations circulating online operate at the surface layer. What you are about to hear operates at the command layer — the level where identity, reality, energy, and timeline converge simultaneously. I built this activation around my four-category quantum command phrases framework: Identity-Transformation codes that install at the level of who you are using phrases like "I AM" and "I have become." Reality-Restructuring codes that reorganize the external world using "I now command" and "It is done." Energetic Alignment codes that synchronize your field using "I am aligned with" and "I am now in harmony with." And Timeline-Acceleration codes that collapse the distance between present and future using "I have already received" and "I am magnetizing." Twelve waves. Every wave targets a different dimension of your reality. Paired with quantum erasers — pattern-disrupting verbs that delete old subconscious code before the new installation begins. By the end, every layer of your consciousness has been addressed. Listen daily for maximum impact.  

The New Moon in Taurus arrives in the sharp and discerning nakshatra of Krittika.. an asterism associated with purification, clarity, and the sacred fire that burns away inner distortion and bias. Taurus reminds us to slow down, ground ourselves, and reconnect with stability, the senses, nature, and what makes us feel safe. Krittika asks us to remain neutral and objective, even in the storm of inner turbulence. There may be some emotional reactivity, projection, or attachment around this new moon. Krittika has the ability to cut through confusion, helping us separate emotional intensity from objective truth. We also discuss the upcoming Saraswati Yoga, a deeply supportive combination for learning, creativity, wisdom, and communication. 30 Minute Readings https://calendly.com/vedic_astrology/30-minuteYOUTUBE:D9 exploration:https://youtu.be/HTgYcjltyasCharacteristics of Your Spouse:https://youtu.be/i_cOvdSbjy0Soulmate Astrologyhttps://youtu.be/ExnDysvjzUwChristine:website: innerknowing.yogainstagram: astrologynow_podcastpatreon: patreon.com/astrologynowpodcast keywords: astrology, jyotish, Vedic astrology, sidereal astrology, nakshatras,  spirituality, Christine Rodriguez, aries, libra, scorpio, libra, capricorn, Nakshatra, new moon, taurus, Venus, Jupiter, Pisces, Spirituality, horoscope, retrograde, eclipse, solar eclipse, new moon, lunar eclipse

The Dharma wheel. The Christian cross. The Egyptian bull god. Symbolic researcher Mario Garza of Symbolic Studies returns to InnerVerse for a freeform exploration of a central metaphysical pattern, questioning if that pattern may be the architecture of reality itself.Watch the video episodeWhy does the Rider-Waite Chariot card show wheels pointed sideways and sphinxes that aren't even harnessed? What does the bull have in common with the cross? Why did nearly every ancient culture place a bull, a tree, or a still point at the center of its cosmology? And what does any of this mean for the spiritual journey in an age of accelerating modernity?Topics traced: the unmoved mover, the still center versus the spinning circumference, bull symbolism across Vedic, Buddhist, Egyptian, Greek, and Phoenician traditions, the philological golden thread connecting wheels, bulls, bills, and lords, René Guénon's reign of quantity, and why “going with the flow” is centripetal physics in metaphysical disguise.Get InnerVerse Plus+ for the Extended Episode - https://www.innerverseplus.comPatreon | Substack | YoutubeThe extended conversation follows the wheel and bull symbolism thread into the modern world, tracing the reign of quantity, the acceleration of time, and what ancient metaphysics has to say about the age of AI and digital consciousness. The philological golden thread continues throughout, drawing unexpected connections across language, religion, and the hidden architecture of power that runs from antiquity to the present day.LINKShttps://www.symbolicstudies.com@symbolic.studies on IGMario & Chance on “The Reign of Quantity”Biofield Tuning with ChanceJoin InnerVerse Plus+ for extended episodeshttps://www.innerversepodcast.com/episodes/symbolic-studies-wheelSUPPORTTippecanoe Herbs (coupon code ‘innerverse')Flower Elixirs by LotusWeiLearn To Trade Like A Wizard Hosted on Acast.

Most people think of God simply as a witness or facilitator of their own romantic affairs. The Bhaktivedanta tradition reveals that the conjugal love experienced by human beings is a mere reflection of a spiritual reality in which the same love exists in an absolute, pristine state. So we don't need to turn away from beauty and love in this world. We just need to see the source and origin behind it. Raghunath and Kaustubha explore Plato's ladder of beauty alongside the bhakti path — and find they are pointing in the same direction. Every spark of beauty in this world springs from the same source. Use it as a stepping stone, not a dead end. And at the top of that ladder, the Srimad Bhagavatam opens the most sacred passage in all of Vedic literature — the Rāsa Līlā. Krishna, lacking nothing, takes shelter of his own internal potency and enters the most intimate of all loving affairs. The unconquerable is conquered by love. Srimad Bhagavatam 10.29.1 ******************************************************************** LOVE THE PODCAST? WE ARE COMMUNITY SUPPORTED AND WOULD LOVE FOR YOU TO JOIN!

In this Ask Thom Anything episode, Thom explores the Vedic view of time, the deeper meaning of evolution, whether God can feel individual pain, and how to think about artificial intelligence without fear or fantasy.Along the way, he returns again and again to a central Vedic question: who is the "I" having the experience?

Every love story ever told — the Song of Solomon, Layla and Majnun, the Bollywood heroine running toward her true love — is a shadow of this. The desire for intimacy with the divine is the deepest longing in the human heart. And after six and a half years of reading through the Srimad Bhagavatam, Raghunath and Kaustubha have arrived at its most sacred passage — the Rāsa Līlā. The essence of the essence of the essence. Five chapters describing Krishna's circle dance with the gopis, considered the pinnacle of all Vedic literature and the ultimate expression of divine love. But this is not a romantic story in any ordinary sense. The Bhagavatam itself declares that hearing it properly frees the soul from lust rather than inflaming it. To see it rightly requires what the tradition calls prema netra — the eye of love. Raghunath and Kaustubha introduce the Rāsa Līlā through Professor Graham Schweig's landmark study, The Dance of Divine Love — exploring what these five chapters contain and how the Bhagavatam's vision differs from the greater Vedic tradition out of which it arises. Rather than forced renunciation, it offers something far deeper — renunciation that arises naturally, spontaneously, out of love. When you taste the highest taste, everything else falls away on its own. ******************************************************************** LOVE THE PODCAST?

Why Isn't Everyone Becoming a Fulfillionaire? with JP Newman What if your relationship to money has nothing to do with how much you have, and everything to do with the frequency you're operating from? In this episode of Why Isn't Everyone Doing This?, Emily Fletcher sits down with investor, entrepreneur, and Fulfillionaire founder JP Newman for a conversation that will permanently shift how you think about financial freedom. JP has spent decades working with high net worth individuals who achieve their financial goals and still feel empty, and he's built a framework that addresses why. The Fulfillionaire approach goes beyond net worth. JP maps out four dimensions of wealth, People, Purpose, Play, and Presence, and shows how clarity in each of these areas is what actually dissolves the scarcity loop. He introduces the concept of the freedom number (or the "plenty number"), explains how passive income works in practice, and walks through why most people are unconsciously running a strategy he calls "hope and pray." Emily shares her own story of how a single week of nervous system work with Kate Northrup helped her team identify $1.1 million in cuttable expenses, not through grinding harder, but through changing her energetic relationship to money first. This episode bridges Vedic wisdom, Judeo-Christian mystical tradition, and practical financial literacy, making it one of the most grounded and spiritually resonant money conversations in the show's history. In this episode, they explore: – The four P's of multidimensional wealth and why financial planning without them creates one-dimensional success – How to find your freedom number and stop the "hope and pray" strategy – The Vedic teaching on Lakshmi and why money wants somewhere to go – Why scarcity persists even in billionaires, and what the data on Warren Buffett's Giving Pledge reveals – The eight levels of giving according to mystical tradition, and which one creates the cleanest spiritual transaction – How Emily's energy shift produced $1.1 million in discovered savings in one week – A practical parenting strategy for teaching kids financial empowerment starting at age six – Why JP turned Fulfillionaire into a nonprofit Key Moments: 00:00 – The moment money stops being something you chase 04:30 – JP's origin story 09:00 – Why no one teaches us what winning actually looks like 14:00 – The four dimensions of Fulfillionaire wealth 21:00 – Hope and pray strategy and speculative risk 26:30 – Active vs. passive income explained 32:00 – What passive cash flow looks like in practice 39:00 – The scarcity paradox and the Giving Pledge 46:00 – Lakshmi and the Vedic view of abundance 51:00 – Emily's $1.1 million discovery 57:00 – The identity shift from scarcity to stewardship 01:04:00 – The eight levels of giving 01:11:00 – Why Fulfillionaire became a nonprofit 01:17:00 – Teaching kids about money at age six 01:24:00 – Why isn't everyone becoming a Fulfillionaire? About JP Newman JP Newman is an investor, entrepreneur, and founder of Fulfillionaire, a nonprofit dedicated to financial literacy and multidimensional wealth. He works with individuals at every stage of their financial journey to help them find their freedom number, build passive income, and create a life where money flows from wholeness rather than fear.
