In this episode, we explore the powerful transition of Mars, the Sun, and Venus moving through the Gandanta zone— the karmic knot between water and fire, where karmic matters get pulled apart to offer moments of transformation. As these planets leave the emotional depths of Scorpio and enter the fiery, expansive realm of Sagittarius, we collectively move through an opportunity to face change and witness what is True. Sagittarius is the sign of optimism, expansion, and Truth - but what do we need to face in order to stand in that light?As Mars, the Sun, and Venus pass through the final degrees of Scorpio, we feel intensity around transformation, power dynamics, secrets, and deep emotion. Gandanta exposes what's been buried and forces us into honesty, closure, and karmic completion. Masks slip, characters are revealed, and we have more a moment to witness reality as it is. Sag brings fire, movement, perspective, and the desire to rise above what was weighing us down. It highlights belief systems, spirituality, worldview, teachers, dogma, and righteousness — but it also invites us to embody the higher frequency of Sagittarius: adventure, inspiration, humor, exploration, and the joy of discovering new horizons.This episode breaks down:What Gandanta actually means and why these degrees feel so destabilizingHow Mars, Sun, and Venus each behave in this karmic knotHow to navigate the rise of dogmatic thinking and stay open-minded and curiousThe opportunity to hold power with graceYOUTUBE: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

  In this episode, Swamiji explains how life's unexpected setbacks can become stepping stones to spiritual growth when viewed through the lens of Krishna's teachings. He emphasizes that obstacles are not punishments but opportunities to cultivate patience, surrender, and inner strength.  Swamiji shares practical insights on how to transform disappointments into determination, reminding seekers that Krishna's guidance in the Bhagavad Gita teaches us to remain equipoised in success and failure. By anchoring the mind in devotion and meditation, setbacks lose their sting and instead become catalysts for liberation.  Listeners are encouraged to see challenges as divine arrangements meant to refine their character and deepen their bhakti. This shift in perspective empowers seekers to walk the spiritual path with courage, resilience, and unwavering faith in Krishna's plan.  About Swami Mukundananda: Swami Mukundananda is a renowned spiritual leader, Vedic scholar, Bhakti saint, best‑selling author, and an international authority on the subject of mind management. He is the founder of the unique yogic system called JKYog. Swamiji holds distinguished degrees in Engineering and Management from two of India's most prestigious institutions—IIT and IIM. Having taken the renounced order of life (sanyas), he is the senior disciple of Jagadguru Shree Kripaluji Maharaj, and has been sharing Vedic wisdom across the globe for decades. 

  In this episode, Swamiji explains the profound concept of the soul's journey through different bodies, as taught by Lord Krishna in the Bhagavad Gita. He clarifies that the soul is eternal, untouched by birth or death, and merely transmigrates from one physical form to another, just as a person changes worn-out garments for new ones.  Swamiji highlights how understanding transmigration helps seekers overcome fear of death and attachment to the temporary body. He shares how Krishna's wisdom liberates us from identifying with material existence and inspires us to focus on the eternal self. By cultivating devotion and aligning with divine consciousness, one can transcend the cycle of rebirth and attain liberation.  This teaching matters because it transforms our perspective on life and mortality. Recognizing the soul's eternal nature empowers seekers to live with courage, detachment, and spiritual purpose, making every moment an opportunity for growth and bhakti.  About Swami Mukundananda: Swami Mukundananda is a renowned spiritual leader, Vedic scholar, Bhakti saint, best‑selling author, and an international authority on the subject of mind management.

  In this episode, Swamiji reveals how Lord Krishna redefines success, moving beyond the conventional measures of wealth, status, or recognition. He explains that true success lies in aligning our life with dharma, cultivating devotion, and living in harmony with the Divine. Success, according to Krishna, is not external achievement but inner fulfillment and liberation.  Swamiji narrates how worldly accomplishments often leave seekers restless and unsatisfied, while spiritual growth brings lasting peace and joy. He highlights Krishna's assurance that those who dedicate themselves to selfless service and bhakti attain the highest success — freedom from material bondage and union with the Lord.  Listeners are encouraged to reflect on their own pursuits and reorient them toward Krishna's vision of success. This teaching matters because it transforms ambition into aspiration, guiding seekers to live purposefully, with devotion and clarity, and ultimately to experience liberation.  About Swami Mukundananda: Swami Mukundananda is a renowned spiritual leader, Vedic scholar, Bhakti saint, best‑selling author, and an international authority on the subject of mind management.

In this episode, Swamiji narrates the moving story of Annie Besant, the renowned social reformer and president of the Theosophical Society, to illustrate the timeless law of karma. Despite her public achievements, Annie endured deep personal suffering when her infant son was afflicted with violent convulsions. Unable to reconcile this pain with the idea of a compassionate God, she turned agnostic.  Her perspective transformed when she encountered the philosophy of karma and reincarnation. She realized that life is not confined to a single birth but is a chain of many lives, where present suffering may be the result of past deeds. Swamiji explains this through vivid analogies — like grain silos where old stored grain comes out first, even if fresh grain has been added later — showing how karmic reactions may manifest long after the actions that caused them.  Swamiji connects Annie Besant's awakening to Krishna's teachings in the Bhagavad Gita. The Lord reveals that He reciprocates with souls according to their surrender: for those who deny Him, He manifests as the law of karma; for those who seek refuge in Him, He lovingly protects them. This episode emphasizes that karma is not punishment but a tool for spiritual growth, urging seekers to act wisely and embrace devotion to transcend the cycle of rebirth.  About Swami Mukundananda: Swami Mukundananda is a renowned spiritual leader, Vedic scholar, Bhakti saint, best‑selling author, and an international authority on the subject of mind management.

What if surrender isn't something you do at all? In this episode, Thom reframes surrender and “letting go” through the Vedic lens, not as effort, but as the spontaneous movement of the mind toward greater charm.With vivid metaphors from Guru Deva, monkeys, and even jelly beans, Thom reveals how true surrender happens naturally when the mind is free of stress and guided by charm.Listen as Thom explains how Vedic Meditation trains us to release unnecessary tenacity and experience surrender as a state of freedom, not struggle.Episode Highlights[00:45] Can You Surrender the Surrendering?[03:33] Pre-approving Movement of the Mind[07:06] Effortless Movement Towards Charm[09:38] Vedic Meditation: The Training Ground for the Removal of Unnecessary Tenacity[12:46] Q - What's the relationship between retrospective surrender and letting go?[12:56] Monkeys That Don't Let Go[15:34] Don't be Like the Monkeys[17:43] The Capacity to See the Future in the Making[22:06] Close Your Eyes and Stay AwakeUseful 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/

gītā su-gītā kartavyā kim anyaiḥ śāstra-vistaraiḥ yā svayaṁ padmanābhasya mukha-padmād viniḥsṛtā Because Bhagavad-gītā is spoken by the Supreme Personality of Godhead, one need not read any other Vedic literature. One need only attentively and regularly hear and read Bhagavad-gītā. In the present age, people are so absorbed in mundane activities that it is not possible for them to read all the Vedic literatures. But this is not necessary. This one book, Bhagavad-gītā, will suffice, because it is the essence of all Vedic literatures and especially because it is spoken by the Supreme Personality of Godhead.

  In this Pad Vyakhya, Swami Mukundananda lovingly explains and sings the devotional pad “Are Mana! Avasara Bityo Jata” composed by Shree Jagadguru Kripalu Ji Maharaj. This pad is a wake‑up call to the human mind, reminding it that precious time has already slipped away in worldly pursuits, and urging it to turn toward devotion before life passes by.  Swamiji begins by highlighting Maharaji's compassionate warning: the mind wastes opportunities chasing temporary pleasures, forgetting the eternal goal of God‑realization. Through melodic exposition and deep commentary, Swamiji emphasizes the urgency of spiritual practice, showing how every moment lost in illusion is a step away from liberation.  Throughout the discourse, Swamiji shares key tattvagyan — the fleeting nature of human life, the inevitability of death, and the supreme importance of bhakti. He explains that Maharaji's pad is not meant to instill fear but to awaken seekers to the reality of impermanence, inspiring them to embrace devotion wholeheartedly. The bhajan's melody, combined with Swamiji's explanation, creates a devotional atmosphere that stirs the heart and motivates listeners to act now, rather than postpone their spiritual journey.  Why it matters: This Pad Vyakhya teaches that time is the most valuable resource, and once lost, it cannot be regained. By relishing Maharaji's pad and Swamiji's exposition, devotees gain both the sweetness of bhakti and the clarity of spiritual philosophy — nurturing their journey toward transformation and liberation.

In this Pad Vyakhya, Swami Mukundananda lovingly explains and sings the devotional pad “Gaho Re Mana! Shyam Charana Sharanyee” composed by Shree Jagadguru Kripalu Ji Maharaj. This pad is a tender call to the mind, urging it to take shelter at the lotus feet of Shyam (Lord Krishna), the eternal refuge of all souls.  Swamiji begins by highlighting Maharaji's compassionate plea: the human mind, distracted by worldly desires, must awaken and embrace Krishna's feet as its only safe haven. Through melodic exposition and deep commentary, Swamiji emphasizes how Maharaji's verses guide seekers to cultivate surrender, humility, and unwavering devotion.  Throughout the discourse, Swamiji shares key tattvagyan — the futility of material attachments, the bliss of divine refuge, and the transformative power of bhakti. He explains that Maharaji's pad is not merely poetic but a practical instruction for seekers: to anchor their restless minds in Krishna's charan (feet), where true peace and liberation reside. The bhajan's melody, combined with Swamiji's explanation, creates a devotional atmosphere that uplifts the heart and inspires listeners to embrace Krishna as their eternal protector.  Why it matters: This Pad Vyakhya teaches that the ultimate shelter for the soul lies in surrendering to Krishna's lotus feet.

Send us a textThe ancient Rishis, through deep states of consciousness perceived the true architecture of cosmic time, shedding light on why the impossible (like interstellar travel)  is infinitely possible. Vedic knowledge, is not myth. it is memory that sustains within the humanity's DNA. All that we call myth - from the  ancient domain of Africa ( which includes Egypt ), India, China, the great pyramids, Mayan civilization's UN-erasable history- the universal truth etched in our memory- memory to be remembered. A more recent Vedic aeronautic tome called the Vaimanika Shastra written by Pt. Sastry cited the intricate architectural designs implemented in ancient Vedic models for starships such as Ai Atlas and R2 Swan - the design and construction and propulsion of these ancient starships noted untra-dense metal construction and mercury vortex engines and other highly advanced  technologies.  The modern discovery of concepts like ion drives, warp drives and  anti-gravity technology align with the supreme design architecture described in this text which elaborated on ancient Vedic texts such as Ramayana and Mahabharata that noted these flying machines called Vimana, a Sanskrit term: The descriptions of Vimanas as silent hovering craft moving with aquatic grace at unfathomable speeds across great swaths of the universe navigating through known cosmic portals. Vaimanika Sastra surmised the starship's design  complied with Vedic mathematical principles that emulate the natural symmetrical  pulsation and geometrical sequence of the universe. ancient Vedic renditions of spacecraft design would have had to include a timed emission system that is synchronized  to match the pulsation of the cosmic heartbeat generating from Spanda, the primordial vibration.  Its navigation system is rooted in the cosmic code imbued into the spiral of galaxies, a concept founded  in 200BCE by the Vedic mathematician, Pingala in his work on Sanskrit prosody where he surmised the Virahanka numbers, the knowledge of what is now known as the Fibonacci sequence - the cosmic code imbued in the spiral of galaxies, in the full cycle of the DNA double helix, and in various aspects of nature.To help us understand  the impossible timeline being not only possible but holding infinite possibilities listen to the deeper vibration of truth currently resonating in every cell of your being. There is simply nothing to fear  from the arrival of interstellar starships and their Supra-conscious sojourners.Vedic cosmology describes time in vast cycles called kalpas, 4.32 billion years, for example, represent a day of Brahma followed by a night of Brahma of equal length, where the universe is created and then dissolved. This cyclical model predates present day Big Bang theories. The Vedas propose that the universe expands from a singularity and at the end of each Kalpa it collapses into dissolution therein triggering the next Big Bang. This understanding of the Kalpa principle of time offers insights into the bending and folding of cosmic time.

Get the Black Friday / Cyber Monday deals at https://www.quietmindastrology.com/2026Jupiter retrograde in Gemini, a full moon in Rohini, and powerful movements through Taurus and Scorpio. This week brings a mix of renewal, nourishment, and deep inner work. In this episode, I share what to lean into, what to avoid, and how to work skillfully with these four notable Vedic transits.We're moving out of the heaviness of the Mercury and Saturn retrogrades. All the inner planets are direct again, which brings fresh momentum and forward movement. Jupiter is the only planet turning inward, returning to Gemini and the nakshatra of Punarvasu. This is where renewal, learning, and spiritual optimism come back online. It's a time to revisit teachings, teachers, and wisdom paths that once helped you grow, and to explore what they can offer you now.On December 4th we have a full moon in Rohini, right in the moon's exaltation point. This creates one of the most nourishing full moons of the year. Good food, good company, grounding rituals, quality time with loved ones, and simple pleasures all go a long way. At the same time, full moons can heighten sensitivity and bring emotions closer to the surface, especially with the Sun and Mars in Scorpio. This week carries a strong theme of transformation through relationships, identity shifts, and the release of old patterns that no longer fit.Jupiter's shift back into Gemini on December 5th begins a months-long inner journey. For many people, 2025 has been a year of endings, completions, and intense karmic clearing. Jupiter in Punarvasu supports healing through perspective, learning, and revisiting the past with wiser eyes. If you've felt like you're becoming a new version of yourself, this is the transit that helps you stabilize that growth.If you want support planning your year ahead, you can join me for the Mindful New Year workshop on December 19th. We'll look at your personal chart, your dasha cycles, and the major 2026 transits to help you get aligned with the new cycle beginning next year. You can also book a one-to-one reading or join the early access to the Vedic Astrology Mentorship opening in January.Key Ideas From the Episode “Jupiter retrograde in Punarvasu helps you return to the teachings that once opened you up.” “This full moon in Rohini is one of the most nourishing full moons we get all year.” “Many people feel like they're done with an old identity. That's Ketu in Leo doing its work.” “When you resist a karmic shift, it tends to come as a boulder instead of a pebble.” “2025 is a nine year.

Did ancient civilizations nuke themselves into oblivion… or did the History Channel just get bored again? This week we dive headfirst into the rabbit hole of Ancient Nuclear Wars – from the “radioactive” skeletons of Mohenjo-Daro, to alleged atom-bomb craters in the desert, to the Mahabharata passages that sound suspiciously like somebody watched a Cold War documentary and got way too excited. We'll talk vimanas (ancient flying machines), biblical firestorms, desert glass, and why every weird rock seems to mean “aliens with launch codes” to at least one guy on YouTube.Along the way, we'll pit wild fringe theories against boring things like geology, archaeology, and physics (booooo), ask whether Oppenheimer accidentally subtweeted the Vedic gods, and decide if the only real ancient WMD was still… humans and their bad decisions. Was there a Bronze Age Fallout-style apocalypse, or is this just another case of modern nuclear anxiety cosplaying in ancient texts?

In this liminal moment between Ubud and Uluwatu, Michael Trainer reflects on a profound series of downloads:a Thanksgiving future-self meditation, a deep Vedic astrology reading, a life chapter of karmic stripping-away, and the sudden, crystalline vision of his next book about initiation.Speaking from the jungle, on the eve of his movement to the cliffs and horizon line, Michael explores:Initiation as a life path — the lived rites of passage, dissolutions, and sacred encounters that have shaped himThe emergence of Book Two — a non-traditional memoir weaving the magic, the teachings, and the soul-level story of becomingKarmic fires and pruning — leaving homes, releasing illusions, and discovering the true gardens where his seed is meant to growAstro-cartography and destiny — how place, soil, and timing shape flourishingThe call to root — recognizing that partnership, family, and deeper embodiment require a home baseMen's work and purpose — the rising need for rites of passage, belonging, and grounded masculine presenceThe spirit of Bali — gratitude for the ceremonies, ancestors, and guardians of this land during a powerful 10-day windowThis episode is a transmission from the threshold—a moment of honoring the insight, metabolizing the lessons, and preparing for the next life chapter. It's a message about becoming the vessel that can hold the vision you are meant to birth.If you're standing at a crossroads, shedding old skins, or seeking the garden where you are meant to flourish, this one will resonate. Michael Trainer has spent 30 years learning from Nobel laureates, neuroscientists, and wisdom keepers worldwide.

***Please note that I FORGOT to mention Neptune direct in Pisces! On December 10th, Neptune will direct at 5 degrees of Pisces. This will impact oil, gas, water, or illness. There may be ILLUSIONS coming to light or mysteries being uncovered. In this episode, we revisit this Scorpio stellium, a combination of planets amplifying themes of transformation, secrecy, taboo, and the exposure of hidden characteristics. This is the season (in addition to Neptune direct...) where truth may come to light, leaders are unmasked, and we're invited into deeper self-honesty and alchemy.We cover the Full Moon exalted in Taurus, illuminating the balance between grounded security and the discomfort of change. This full moon asks us to reflect on what we cling to for safety and what needs to be released so that we can grow. We then shift into Sagittarius season - radical beliefs, righteousness, and religious or philosophical dogma become prominent. Sagittarius also offers a higher expression — an opportunity to reconnect with adventure, spontaneity, open-minded curiosity, humor, and sharing ideas.

Heart Led • Soul Fed Podcast | Hosted by Christine GoldIn this soul-expanding episode, Christine Gold welcomes world traveler, mystic, and Vedic astrologer Indra Rinzler — a seeker who has spent decades exploring consciousness, inner freedom, and the true nature of joy.Indra invites us to step away from the external search for meaning and turn inward, reminding us that the answers we chase are already inside us. With warmth, wisdom, and surprising simplicity, he breaks down the often-misunderstood world of Vedic astrology, including:✨ Why Vedic astrology uses sidereal time and how it differs from Western astrology✨ The real origin of the term “Vedic astrology”✨ Astrocartography and how your energy lines shape your experience on Earth✨ Why having a guide matters when interpreting these complex maps✨ The powerful distinction between destiny vs. purpose — and why purpose can become an ego trap✨ How true spiritual growth begins by meeting your insecurities with honestyThis episode offers a rare blend of cosmic insight and grounded self-awareness — the kind of conversation that leaves listeners thinking about life differently.A seasoned traveler of both the world and the inner realms, Indra shares the teachings that have shaped his path, culminating in his first book:

  In this episode, Swamiji reveals how the Bhagavad Gita empowers seekers to cultivate an unbreakable mind that remains steady amidst life's challenges. Drawing from Krishna's timeless wisdom, he explains how resilience is not about suppressing emotions but about aligning our thoughts with higher truths.  Swamiji emphasizes the importance of spiritual discipline, meditation, and devotion as tools to strengthen the mind. He illustrates how seekers can rise above fear, anxiety, and external pressures by anchoring themselves in Krishna's guidance. The episode highlights practical steps to transform adversity into growth, showing that true strength lies in surrendering to the Divine and living with unwavering faith.  For spiritual aspirants, this teaching is a reminder that liberation begins with mastering the mind. By embracing Krishna's path, one can experience inner peace, clarity, and the courage to face life with grace.  About Swami Mukundananda: Swami Mukundananda is a renowned spiritual leader, Vedic scholar, Bhakti saint, best‑selling author, and an international authority on the subject of mind management. He is the founder of the unique yogic system called JKYog. Swamiji holds distinguished degrees in Engineering and Management from two of India's most prestigious institutions—IIT and IIM. Having taken the renounced order of life (sanyas), he is the senior disciple of Jagadguru Shree Kripaluji Maharaj, and has been sharing Vedic wisdom across the globe for decades.  Link to the playlist: Bhagavad Gita for everyday living By Swami Mukundananda       

  In this opening episode, Swamiji explores how genuine forgiveness dissolves inner poison and restores faith, drawing from Sri Krishna's teachings for practical, everyday transformation. The theme centers on choosing healing over hatred and embracing devotion as a pathway to inner freedom.   Through the powerful story of Immaculée Ilibagiza—a survivor of the Rwanda genocide—Swamiji narrates her 91-day ordeal in hiding, her battle with rage, and her turning to prayer to seek the strength to forgive. When she finally faced the man who killed her family, she saw not a monster but a blind soul, and forgave him “in the name of God,” embodying compassion over vengeance.   Swamiji connects this to Bhagavad Gita 11.55, explaining that exclusive devotees are without malice and see the Lord present in all beings; thus they forgive even those who harmed them. He shows how forgiveness is not the end of justice but the beginning of freedom—a bridge from hurt to healing that releases us from resentment and aligns our hearts with Krishna, cultivating peace, bhakti, and spiritual growth in daily life.   About Swami Mukundananda:   Swami Mukundananda is a renowned spiritual leader, Vedic scholar, Bhakti saint, best‑selling author, and an international authority on the subject of mind management. He is the founder of the unique yogic system called JKYog. Swamiji holds distinguished degrees in Engineering and Management from two of India's most prestigious institutions—IIT and IIM. Having taken the renounced order of life (sanyas), he is the senior disciple of Jagadguru Shree Kripaluji Maharaj, and has been sharing Vedic wisdom across the globe for decades. 

  In this second episode of the Narad Bhakti Sutra series, Swami Mukundananda reveals how Shree Krishna, though supremely independent, becomes lovingly bound by the devotion of His devotees. This profound truth demonstrates that bhakti is the only force capable of moving the Lord of the universe.  Swamiji narrates a captivating story that highlights how God responds not to ritual or material offerings, but to the sincerity of the heart. He explains that devotion is not merely an emotion but the highest spiritual practice — one that transforms the soul, purifies the mind, and draws divine grace.  For seekers, this episode is a reminder that cultivating selfless love for God is the path to liberation and eternal joy. It deepens our understanding of why bhakti is celebrated as the supreme means of attaining spiritual fulfillment.  About Swami Mukundananda: Swami Mukundananda is a renowned spiritual leader, Vedic scholar, Bhakti saint, best‑selling author, and an international authority on the subject of mind management.

In this opening episode of the Narad Bhakti Sutra series, Swami Mukundananda unveils a life‑transforming truth: when we truly realize that God is our closest relative, fear dissolves and devotion awakens. Through the story of a beggar prince rediscovering his royal identity, Swamiji illustrates how genuine knowledge revives confidence and spiritual strength.  He explains that worldly intoxications enslave the mind, while the divine intoxication of bhakti liberates the soul. As devotion deepens, seekers experience the blissful symptoms of spiritual ecstasy — tears, trembling, and heartfelt surrender — signs of love overflowing from within. Swamiji emphasizes that this divine intoxication purifies the heart, detaches us from material illusions, and immerses us in Krishna's resplendent presence.  For aspirants, this episode is a reminder that true knowledge and devotion are inseparable. By realizing our eternal relationship with Shree Krishna, we step onto the path of liberation, joy, and divine love.  About Swami Mukundananda: Swami Mukundananda is a renowned spiritual leader, Vedic scholar, Bhakti saint, best‑selling author, and an international authority on the subject of mind management.

In this Pad Vyakhya, Swami Mukundananda lovingly explains and sings the devotional pad “Bhayō Ko! Mo Sama Patita Baro” composed by Shree Jagadguru Kripalu Ji Maharaj. This pad is a soul‑stirring cry of humility, where the devotee acknowledges his fallen state and pleads for divine grace. Maharaji's words remind seekers that no matter how deep one's ignorance or weakness, God's compassion is boundless.  Swamiji begins by unfolding the pad's lyrical depth, showing how Maharaji portrays the human soul's helplessness before the ocean of worldly desires. He emphasizes that the devotee, recognizing his own shortcomings, turns to Krishna with sincerity, seeking refuge in His mercy. Through melodic exposition and deep commentary, Swamiji highlights the transformative power of humility — how admitting our fallen condition is the first step toward divine upliftment.  Throughout the discourse, Swamiji shares practical insights on surrender, the futility of ego, and the liberating strength of bhakti. He explains that Maharaji's pad is not a lament but a doorway to hope: by acknowledging our weakness, we open ourselves to God's infinite grace. The bhajan's melody, combined with Swamiji's explanation, creates a devotional atmosphere that inspires listeners to cultivate humility, devotion, and unwavering faith in Krishna's compassion.  Why it matters: This Pad Vyakhya teaches that even the most fallen soul can attain liberation through surrender and devotion. By relishing Maharaji's pad and Swamiji's exposition, devotees gain both the sweetness of bhakti and the clarity of tattvagyan — nurturing their journey toward transformation and God‑realization. 

Pranadhana Jivana Kunja Bihari – Pad Vyakhyas Series by Swami Mukundananda  In this Pad Vyakhya, Swami Mukundananda lovingly explains and sings the devotional pad “Pranadhana Jivana Kunja Bihari” composed by Shree Jagadguru Kripalu Ji Maharaj. This pad is a heartfelt glorification of Lord Krishna as the very life, wealth, and soul of the devotee — the Kunja Bihari who enchants the heart with His divine pastimes.  Swamiji begins by unfolding the lyrical beauty of Maharaji's composition, showing how the devotee sees Krishna not as separate but as the very essence of existence. He emphasizes that Krishna is the “pranadhana” — the wealth of life itself — and that true fulfillment comes only through loving remembrance of Him. Through melodic exposition and deep commentary, Swamiji highlights how Maharaji's verses inspire seekers to cultivate exclusive devotion, seeing Krishna as the ultimate refuge and joy.  Throughout the discourse, Swamiji shares key tattvagyan: the futility of worldly attachments, the bliss of divine remembrance, and the transformative power of surrender. He explains how Maharaji's pad guides seekers to shift their identity from material pursuits to spiritual consciousness, where Krishna becomes the center of all thoughts and actions. The bhajan's melody, combined with Swamiji's explanation, creates a devotional atmosphere that uplifts the heart and inspires listeners to embrace Krishna as their very life force.  Why it matters: This Pad Vyakhya teaches that true wealth is not external but lies in devotion to Krishna. By relishing Maharaji's pad and Swamiji's exposition, devotees gain both the sweetness of bhakti and the clarity of spiritual philosophy — nurturing their journey toward transformation and liberation. 

Send us a textIn my last episode exactly one week ago, I stated that 3i Atlas is a space fleet accompanied by countless numbers of spaceships and explored the prescient reality of interstellar travels through the lens of the ancient  Vedic seers.The seers cognized that we are living in a multi universe where timelines are continually collapsing, folding and recalibrating and that ancients beings exist in myriad forms living in parallel universes. That magnificent Earth is but one such world and its humanity asset of “free will” has been both its bitter challenge and saving grace.  ( more on this topic later). In the meantime,  NASA is operating from the usual undercover storyline. When Atlas passed Mars, the HiRise camera aboard the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter was scheduled to capture the clearest images ever taken of an interstellar object.  Scientists were poised to see the surface texture, and structure. And then, right on cue, by practiced synchronicity, NASA's data feed went dark. Excuse? The government shut down.   Let that sink in. 3i Atlas, the newest interstellar object to enter Earth hemisphere is called an anomaly because her existence is light years beyond humanity's scientific intelligence.   as you will learn, she is indeed an ancient most  MotherShip. We pray that she is here not to colonize Mother Earth but to oust the old, rote patriarchal systems by calibrating and heightening  humanity's vibrational awareness.  3i Atlas Mother Ship, is a 73 trillion pound mass, 5 kilometers long lingam- shaped vessel racing at over 124,000 miles per hour, faster and heavier than 6 million starships combined. She seemed cloaked in a radioactive buffering material bellowing in majestic forms as she pierces the cosmos . She is fierce, humungous, silent, and precise- perhaps a fitting emissary of the Shakti. The question is: is the greatest, most humongous, most ancient ship recalibrating planet Earth as she makes her way  to Jupiter where she can safely park while observing Earth? Surely, world governing bodies would have been tracking these phenomenal recommends and know precisely the interstellar mission intended for earth. Jupiter's  immense gravity has historically been thought to protect Earth by deflecting comets and asteroids. Her"Grand Track Path to and from the Sun in the early solar system, is believed to have influenced the formation of Mars and the structure of the asteroid belt. Her cosmic gravitational field which protects her planet and all around her appears to be the Mothership's destination and  the safest sphere for her to park. ……..Listen In—Support the showMay Peace Be Your Journey~www.mayatiwari.comwww.facebook.com/mayatiwariahimsa.Buzzsprout.com Get Maya's New Book: I Am Shakti: https://www.collectiveinkbooks.com/o-books/our-books/I-am-shakti Amazon.com Bookshop.org

Four major Vedic astrology transits are reshaping the energy of this week, and many people have been telling me that 2025 has already been one of the most transformational years of their lives. This week marks a noticeable shift in direction. You'll likely feel things settling, clarifying, and integrating in ways that help you move forward.In this episode, I walk you through each of the four big movements:Mercury retrograding back into Libra on the 23rd,Venus shifting into Scorpio on the 26th,Saturn going direct in Pisces on the 28th,and Mercury going direct again on the 29th.We'll look at what these mean through the lens of Vedic astrology using the sidereal zodiac and whole sign houses. I'll share the deeper themes and how you can work with them in real time, rather than feeling pushed around by circumstances or old patterns.This week is especially supportive for revisiting unfinished business, integrating lessons from earlier in the year, clearing clutter (mental and literal), and taking a more empowered approach to relationships, creativity, and your spiritual practice. Venus moving into Scorpio brings a pull toward depth and honest connection. Saturn going direct clears the fog and invites real progress again. And Mercury's retrograde is giving you one last chance to integrate a big piece of inner work before moving forward.If you want to follow along with these transits in your own chart, you can get your Vedic birth chart and accompanying training at Quietmind Astrology. Knowing where Libra, Scorpio, and Pisces fall in your chart will help you see exactly where these shifts are happening for you.Key ideas from this episode:“Retrogrades are integration periods. If you don't process the lessons, they repeat.”“Mercury in Libra brings us back to unfinished relational dynamics.”“Venus in Scorpio invites depth, healing, and creative transformation.”“Saturn going direct gives you momentum again after months of review.”“Your power returns when you stop giving it to things you can't influence.”Vedic astrology forecast, Jyotish, nakshatra, planetary transits, weekly horoscope, spiritual growth, self-awareness.Vedic Birth Chart & Training:http://www.quietmindastrology.com/freebirthchartSchedule a 1-1 Readinghttps://www.quietmindastrology.com/readingExclusive Updates & Offershttps://www.quietmindastrology.com/freehoroscopesQuietmind Yogahttps://www.quietmind.yoga

In this episode, we explore a turning point of fresh air as Saturn and Mercury both direct, liberating us from weeks of fog, delays, heaviness, and confusion. We discuss what it means when the lord of restriction (Saturn) finally moves forward in the whimsical sign of Pisces and how this shift brings a sense of direction, momentum, and invitations to move forward.We also explore Mercury direct in Libra, where communication, decision-making, and relational dynamics begin to harmonize again. This is the moment where we are given an opportunity to find balance in relationship, communicate fairly, and find resolution. It is also an opportunity for collective where information may be shared that is significant when it comes to law and order. Venus in Scorpio calls us into the depths of intimacy, desire, and personal transformation. We discuss how this placement intensifies connection, exposes relational truths, and invites a vulnerability in how we perceive ourselves and others.

Send us a textIn this raw shadow-soaked episode, Justine Lemos and Emily McConnell descend into the basement-level truths of a wild Scorpio stellium and the New Moon in Anuradha Nakshatra. With Mercury retrograde, Mars and Moon in Scorpio, and Venus smoldering in Libra, this is a conversation about secrecy, devotion, power, obsession, and the thin line between concealment and revelation.From underground raves and lotus flowers growing out of the muck, to global politics, taboo topics, and cultural shadow, the duo explores the archetypal terrain of Scorpio: sex, power, death, trauma, secrets—and transformation. Film references like Black Swan and American Beauty, along with dark, magnetic music picks (Billie Eilish, underground hip-hop), amplify the episode's sultry, dissonant, and entrancing vibe.A powerful Vedic myth of Brahma, Agni, Indra, and Vayu delivers the spiritual message of the episode: true power is not in domination, but in humility and curiosity. The blade of grass becomes the symbol of divine intelligence, reminding listeners that knowledge, not conquest, is the ultimate victory.This episode is a ritual in itself — part astrology lesson, part cultural critique, part devotional meditation, and part shadow dance.Themes: Scorpio secrets • Anuradha devotion • Power + concealment • Shadow integration • Erotic mysticism • Truth behind illusion • Knowledge as liberationSupport the show

Send us a textIt is no surprise that 3i Atlas -a fleet of spacecrafts- has successfully entered Earth space using the solar signal of Surya, the Sun as their GPS navigator. Our limited knowledge of universal physics render us incapable of grasping the magnitude of the multi universe we live in.  Thousands of years ago the Vedic seers recorded numerous texts that illuminated extensive knowledge of the cosmic pathways and divine travel between different realms. Texts like the Mahabharata and Puranas depict infinite number of pathways for inter stellar travels - ways that modern science compares to wormholes. These pages illustrated the idea of divine beings instantly traversing vast distances or returning to find that centuries have passed,  using cosmic pathways as shortcuts through spacetime.  In the Mahabharata, central text of the Bhagavad Gita, Arjuna's journeyed to the realm of the gods in a divine chariot through a "pathway of stars". Vedic parables depict gods and demons alike using "celestial pathways" or "cosmic doorways" for instantaneous travel across vast distances and between different universes, These space chariots are called Vimanas, in Sanskrit.3i Atlas is creating history on planet Earth, defying what little we know about interstellar relationship and travel. NASA's emergency response team declared a code red crisis as scientists watching the eruption fled their monitoring stations, unable to explain what they were witnessing. 3iAtlas spacecraft began erupting massive jets of superheated plasma that extend over 2 million kilometers into space. These are deliberate controlled plasma weapons that are systematically and with razor precision targeting Earth's electromagnetic infrastructure.  The panic at NASA began when I'll the first plasma jet struck our planet's magnetosphere, and instead of being deflected, began penetrating our protective barriers using techniques that violate everything we understand about electromagnetic physics.As physicist, Michio Kaku surmises, “ Each plasma jet contains more energy than our entire global power grid generates in a year, yet 3i Atlas fires them continuously without any detectable fuel source or energy depletion.” Here is a phenomenal fact from Vedas. God Shiva's trident is described as having the power to createtemporary passages between cosmic realms, causing space and time to temporarily collapse and distort and like folding origami paper.

See if you have any of these special placements in your free Vedic Birth Chart at https://www.quietmindastrology.com/freebirthchartVedic wealth indicators, billionaire yogas, and the hidden rulers that drive abundance. In this episode I explore the deeper layers of Jyotish that you won't see on the surface of a chart. These are the subtle, powerful combinations that show up again and again in the lives of people like Oprah Winfrey, Richard Branson, and Ray Kroc.I've been studying astrology for over twenty years, and after looking at thousands of charts I've found that true wealth potential almost never comes from the obvious places. It's rarely the rising sign, the Moon, or even the Sun. It comes from hidden rulerships, exchanges, and relationships between houses that most people overlook. Today I walk you through eight of these wealth indicators, including the rare first–second house exchange that shows up in many multi-millionaire and billionaire charts.You'll hear me talk about why the sixth and tenth houses matter far more than most people realize, how daily routines and dharma shape your capacity to create abundance, and why house rulers reveal the real story behind your money karma. We also explore the difference between potential and fulfillment. Having a wealth yoga doesn't guarantee a certain outcome. You still shape your life through choice, effort, and alignment with your dharma.Five key ideas from this episode:“Massive wealth rarely comes from the obvious parts of the chart. You have to look at the deeper details like house rulers.”“The sixth house is where you have the most influence. It's your daily routine, your effort, your time.”“The tenth house shows your dharma. When you align with it, resources tend to move toward you.”“House exchanges between the first and second can create ten-figure wealth potential.”“Everyone is handed a different karmic hand, but you choose how to play the cards.”If you want to explore these indicators in your own chart, you can get your Vedic birth chart and training here:Free Vedic Birth Chart & Training: http://www.quietmindastrology.com/freebirthchartInstagram: http://www.instagram.com/quietmindastrologyYouTube: http://www.quietmindastrology.com/youtubeMentorship Waitlist: http://www.quietmindastrology.com/mentorshipYoga Teacher Training Podcast: https://www.anchor.fm/yogateachertrainingQuietmind Yoga: https://www.quietmind.yogaTags: Vedic astrology, Jyotish, wealth indicators, house rulers, billionaire yoga, 1st house exchange, 2nd house exchange, sixth house, tenth house, dharma, nakshatras, vedic horoscope, money astrology, abundance, spiritual growth, self awareness, Jeremy Devens, Quietmind Astrology Podcast

If you don't know your chart, you can In this episode, I talk about how this Sun–Mercury–Mars combination in Scorpio stirs up old unfinished business and invites you to resolve what's been lingering. With Mercury and Jupiter both retrograde, the themes are revisiting, revising, and then renewing with the New Moon. Anuradha asks a simple but essential question: What are you truly devoted to?This is a week to look at the habits, relationships, and projects you've circled back to—both the helpful and the draining ones. You might feel called to return to practices that supported you when you were operating at your best. With Jupiter retrograde in Punarvasu, there's a quiet sense of hope returning, a reminder that your best self is not lost but ready to be rediscovered.I also share how these transits weave into the larger story of 2025 being a “nine year” in numerology, a year of completion. We're preparing for the fresh beginnings of 2026, and this New Moon offers a preview of what you're ready to grow toward. I invite you into reflection on boundaries, energy, old identities, and the deeper purpose behind what you choose to commit to as this lunar cycle unfolds.Key ideas from the episode:“What are you truly devoted to?” is the essential Anuradha question.The Sun enters Scorpio and ends its debilitation, renewing vitality and focus.Mercury and Jupiter retrograde bring revisiting, reviewing, and returning to strengths.2025 as a “nine year” highlights completions before next year's new beginnings.The New Moon invites a reset: resolve one important unfinished task.Free Vedic Birth Chart & Training: http://www.quietmindastrology.com/freebirthchartInstagram: http://www.instagram.com/quietmindastrologyYouTube: http://www.quietmindastrology.com/youtubeMentorship Waitlist: http://www.quietmindastrology.com/mentorshipYoga Teacher Training Podcast: https://www.anchor.fm/yogateachertrainingQuietmind Yoga: https://www.quietmind.yogaTags: Vedic astrology, Jyotish, Scorpio new moon, Anuradha nakshatra, Sun in Scorpio, Mercury retrograde Vedic, Jupiter retrograde, November 2025 astrology, weekly horoscope, spiritual growth, lunar cycle meaning, whole sign houses, sidereal astrology forecast

Some time ago on the 11th of September, we gave this talk on the very heart of our tradition and practice. September 11th in 1893 was the day Swami Vivekananda opened his transmission to the West (and the the world at large) at the Parliament of World Religions so for us it is a very sacred day when we commemorate the "turning of the wheel of dharma" yet again! Strangely, I haven't uploaded this talk until now. It felt fitting to do so since as I type this, we are in the midst of the vrśchika sankranti, that is, the sun's transition from the solar house of tulā (libra) and into vrśchika (scorpio) as per the Vedic system. Moments like this are considered incredibly auspicious for spiritual practice. There's also a flavor of a new beginning, of turning over a new page. As such, it is important to return to the fundamentals at a time like so there couldn't be a better moment for this video, I realize! In this talk, we describe Sri Ramakrishna's approach to Tāntrik spiritual practice which is really, at its core, the sincere and fervent performance of ritual worship, pūjā. If as a result of this talk, you're inspired to take up a dedicated pūjā practice, here is our playlist for step by step, mantra by mantra instruction for pūjā. May all be flame with awakened Consciousness!

Astrologer and consciousness teacher Mercedes Arnús Arraut explains how astrology and the star chart reveal a hidden design connecting human destiny, awakening consciousness, and the rise of technology in episode 225 of Far Out with Faust.Mercedes Arnús Arraut is an astrologer, consciousness teacher, and founder of The Astral Method, an education platform that bridges Hellenistic, Egyptian, and Vedic astrology with modern psychology and energy work. She guides students in reading their natal chart blueprint as a mirror of consciousness — a map of patterns, ancestral memory, and potential. Her teachings restore astrology's original purpose: a tool for self-knowledge and spiritual awakening.In this conversation, Faust Checho and Mercedes trace astrology's origins and its modern evolution, exploring how the star chart decodes both personal and collective destiny. They examine Carl Jung's insight that “until you make the unconscious conscious, it will rule your life,” and connect that idea to ancient cosmology and today's rise of AI and ChatGPT. Mercedes discusses how Emperor Constantine and the Catholic Church severed humanity's link to the stars, how civilizations like Atlantis fell when they misused technology, and why dream journaling can reopen a channel to higher awareness. Together they uncover how cosmic patterns, free will, and consciousness intertwine in the unfolding story of humanity's evolution.In this episode:

Do you have these signs of longevity in your birth chart? Get your free chart at https://www.QuietmindAstrology.com/freebirthchartLongevity, lifespan, vitality and fate meet right at the crossroads of the eighth house in Vedic astrology — and today I explore what we can and cannot see through the chart. This question comes up a lot: can astrology show how long someone will live? In this episode, I share how Jyotish approaches longevity with humility and wisdom, and why the goal is never prediction out of fear but understanding the deeper forces that shape the way we move through life.Over last weekend Brian Johnson, the founder of Blueprint, streamed an entire mushroom journey “for longevity.” He's trying to reverse aging through data, discipline and extreme experimentation. And while his mission can look a little intense from the outside, there are clear signatures in his Vedic chart — especially his Scorpio Moon and likely Jyeshta nakshatra — that reveal exactly why he's drawn to this kind of work.I walk you through what we know from his birth date (August 22, 1977), even without a birth time, and how his eighth house placements point to transformation, protection, curiosity about death and rebirth, and the desire to push the limits of human potential. This episode is less about Brian himself and more about how you can use these same principles to understand your own relationship with vitality, energy, and the cycles of life.Key ideas from this episode:• “In Vedic astrology, we never use longevity to predict fear. We use it to understand how your life force wants to express itself.”• “The eighth house isn't just death — it's transformation, depth, research and the mysteries that pull us inward.”• “A Scorpio Moon needs intensity and purpose. The mind wants a job, and Brian gives his mind a big one.”• “Jyeshta literally translates to ‘the eldest.' His entire brand is built around trying to become the oldest.”• “You don't need extreme protocols to support longevity. You just need alignment, breath, and awareness of your own nature.”If you want to explore these patterns in your own life, you can get your free Vedic birth chart and training below.

Nit Seva Mangu – Pad Vyakhyas Series by Swami Mukundananda  In this Pad Vyakhya, Swami Mukundananda beautifully explains and sings the devotional pad “Nit Seva Mangu” composed by Shree Jagadguru Kripalu Ji Maharaj. This pad is a heartfelt prayer where the devotee humbly asks for the eternal opportunity to serve the Lord, expressing the essence of surrender and selfless bhakti.  Swamiji begins by highlighting the lyrical depth of Maharaji's composition, showing how the pad reflects the soul's yearning for constant seva (service) to Krishna. He explains that true devotion is not about seeking worldly gains but about desiring only the chance to serve God, day after day, with love and humility.  Throughout the discourse, Swamiji unpacks the tattvagyan embedded in the verses — the insignificance of material desires, the bliss of selfless service, and the transformative power of surrender. He illustrates how Maharaji's words guide seekers to cultivate a mindset of humility, devotion, and unwavering focus on Krishna. The bhajan's melody, combined with Swamiji's exposition, creates an atmosphere of deep devotion that uplifts the heart and inspires listeners to embrace seva as the highest spiritual aspiration.  Why it matters: This Pad Vyakhya reminds us that the greatest blessing is not wealth or worldly success, but the privilege of serving God. By relishing Maharaji's pad and Swamiji's explanation, devotees gain both the sweetness of devotion and the clarity of spiritual philosophy — nurturing their journey toward liberation. 

In this episode, Swamiji begins his discourse on Bhagavad Gita Chapter 7, Verse 8, where Shree Krishna reveals how the Divine permeates everyday experience—manifesting as the taste of water, the light of the sun and moon, the sacred syllable Om in the Vedic mantras, the sound in space, and the ability in human beings. This teaching invites seekers to recognize God not as distant, but as the very essence enlivening all phenomenayoutube.com.  Swamiji illustrates “the ability in humans” with a Vedic story—when the devas became proud, God withdrew their power to reveal its true source. He explains how our talents are granted and sustained by the Divine, and can be withdrawn, guiding us to humility and gratitude in practice. Reflecting on the astonishing complexity of creation and human consciousness, he emphasizes that perceiving God's presence in the simplest realities transforms remembrance into living devotionyoutube.com.  About Swami Mukundananda: Swami Mukundananda is a renowned spiritual leader, Vedic scholar, Bhakti saint, best-selling author, and an international authority on the subject of mind management. He is the founder of the unique yogic system called JKYog. Swamiji holds distinguished degrees in Engineering and Management from two of India's most prestigious institutions—IIT and IIM. Having taken the renounced order of life (sanyas), he is the senior disciple of Jagadguru Shree Kripaluji Maharaj, and has been sharing Vedic wisdom across the globe for decades.

Hi everyone! In this episode, we explore the New Moon in Anuradha, an asterism of devotion, discipline, and unwavering loyalty to what truly matters. Anuradha reminds us that our routines create our life: the things we choose to tend to every single day reveal our real priorities more honestly than anything we claim. No one has to remind us to take care of what our hearts are genuinely devoted to.We dive into how this moon encourages a recommitment to our path, our practices, and the rituals that build a meaningful life. I share how devotion is really about the small, consistent actions that shape our inner and outer worlds.On a collective level, we discuss Pluto in Capricorn and its ongoing restructuring of government, authority, and the bones of society... a slow revolution. Uranus in Taurus continues to rattle the foundations of land, food systems, and the ways we sustain ourselves - urging innovation, resilience, and a return to what is natural and essential.YOUTUBE: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

Send us a textThis episode is profound. It is not for the faint of heart. I recognize how vulnerable we all are. But before we can avail the healing balms, we must face the truth of that which steals our human sovereignty and creates instead strife, conflicts and despair.What is Shakti? A Sanskrit word for the Divine Feminine — Shakti is the Goddess and Mother of all creation who has guarded and led me evercloser to her. Shakti's powers are infinite. She is the primordial feminine force of creation. As the primordial feminine energy, she is the root source on which all else depends for survival, nourishment, and thriving. She exists in every iota of life, each life form, and in all genders, albeit only women carry her power in its awakened form. This concept is rooted in the idea that women are the repository of both creative and destructivepower, reflecting the dual nature of feminine primordial power. In Hinduism, women's inheritance of Shakti is used toempower them, to resist patriarchy and reclaim their inherentdivine power.The work of I Am Shakti emerged after years of being violently targeted and assaulted by a group of well-funded haters who carried out their attacks with military precision. This abysmal reality awakened the sleeping warrior within my soul. I awoke with only one option that is to energize my purpose in this birth by standing tall in spirit and speaking truth. Suffering aside, my experience of being a brown skinned  woman whom they dared to target gave me access to their devious schemes as I honed my ability to dissect their history and legacy which together we must conquer if we are to regain full human sentiency. For eons, patriarchal rule has been reeking havoc on the lives of men, women and nature as a whole. They have succeeded in strategically numbing individual intelligence, dumbing our voices to fit into their inscrutable model- that of a life bereft of awareness. Both masculine and feminine energies have been enduring crippling disempowerment. To safeguard the life and sacred purpose of our planet we must stop living as the unmourned and recover consciousness. Obviously, I Am Shakti, is not for the faint hearted. Drawing on ancient Vedic wisdom, historical and current events, and my personal story, I explored how the fear of the feminine has been weaponized throughout history. At its core, I Am Shakti is an impassioned plea for women, in particular, to reclaim their innate Shakti nature to foster justice, compassion, cooperation, love, and nourishment for all beings. The book calls for balancing the primordial Shiva-Shakti energy, the universal masculine-feminine force that generates harmony and nourishment for all life.  To recreate  sentient world, we must shift from a dualistic, binary understanding of this energy toward a non-dual, nurturing wholeness that exists within every individual. I Am Shakti serves as both a personal transformation story and a guide, offering simple Vedic practices and encouragement to help readers restore balance within themselves and the world. Profoundly stirring, this book is a celestial hymn to the divine feminine, resonating deeply within the cosmic tapestry of life.Support the showMay Peace Be Your Journey~www.mayatiwari.comwww.facebook.com/mayatiwariahimsa.Buzzsprout.com Get Maya's New Book: I Am Shakti: https://www.collectiveinkbooks.com/o-books/our-books/I-am-shakti Amazon.com Bookshop.org

Sydney Sweeney has been everywhere lately, not just for her acting, but for the way she carries herself under pressure.

They work hard, stay loyal to their values, and tend to earn success through consistency rather than hype.
