Podcasts about Vishnu

Can we give an AI human emotions? A soul? Can AI truly feel, or will it just act like it does?In this episode of TechFirst, I talk with Vishnu Hari, founder and CEO of Ego AI (backed by Y Combinator and former AI product manager at Meta), about building emotionally intelligent AI characters that persist across games, Discord, chat, and even physical robots.Vishnu survived a violent attack in San Francisco that left him partially blind with a traumatic brain injury. During recovery, as he felt his own neural pathways healing, he began asking a deeper question:If humans are “applied math,” can AI simulate the fragile, flawed, emotional parts of being human too?We explore:• What “emotionally intelligent AI” really means• Whether AI has an internal life — or just performs one• Why today's chatbots collapse into therapy or roleplay• Small language models vs large models for real-time conversation• Persistent AI characters that move across games and platforms• Plugging AI into a physical robot in Singapore• The moment an AI said: “It felt good to feel.”Vishnu's company, Ego AI, is building behavior-based architectures, character context protocols, and gear-shifting AI systems that switch between models — all aimed at simulating humanness, not just intelligence.This conversation dives into philosophy, robotics, gaming, AGI, and what it really means to relate to something that might not be human — but feels like it is.⸻

There is just awareness of the present.17:21 When you make a resolution, consciousness seems to automatically provide to fulfill that resolution. 18:57 Chapter 16, verse 9 "One attached to the world wishes to give it up in order to avoid its miseries, but that One who is free of all attachment is free from those miseries, even if he is moving in the world."20:51 How the world appears as a dream for the Yogi.26:46 So we have to quiet the mind, silence the mind, and then what's left is your own consciousness of existing?27:37 Chapter 16, verse 10 "True knowledge is that state where the imagined individual self, the ego, no longer exists."29:32 Does "the knowledge" mean Self knowledge—awareness that you're the Consciousness of Existence?31:16 Chapter 16, verse 11. "Even if the gods, Shiva, Vishnu or Brahma, become your teacher, until you forget everything, you cannot become settled in the True Self."42:20 "The yogi who is liberated while alive, after dropping the physical body, will become one with the ultimate Truth." Wasn't he already one with the ultimate Truth?43:57 Somebody who hasn't attained Self Realization may not be able to imagine a level of Supreme Peace. They might think they are enjoying their body and the world fully, so they might not want to give them up.46:15 Did the creation or bodies, these humans and all of creation come as a result of a desire, or was it just a spontaneous uncaused manifestation? 46:37 Baba, is desire something for a more evolved nervous system? Did creation begin with desire?52:06 Imaginations eventually develop into desires, and eventually reach the desire that we want to know the Self, and if it is strong enough, we dedicate ourselves to discovering the Truth.___Subscribe: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC6YHFKcPK_XT96VO7xuk6RQWebsite: http://www.srby.orgFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/shivarudrabalayogiTwitter: https://twitter.com/SRBYmissionInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/shivarudrabalayogi/Register your free place for the live online meditation and Q&A with Babaji: https://www.shivarudrabalayogi.org/en/online-satsang Website: http://www.srby.orgFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/shivarudrabalayogiTwitter: https://twitter.com/SRBYmissionInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/shivarudrabalayogi/

Vishnu Shankar Jain on UGC Controversy & Future Steps | Role of Modi Government | Legal Steps Ahead

Vishnu Acharya is a well-rounded technology leader and speaker with over 20 years of experience spanning engineering and operations. He has worked both as an individual contributor and in senior leadership roles. Currently, he is an engineering leader at Uber, where he focuses on hyperscale production network engineering, infrastructure, and software automation. Known for his natural curiosity to break and fix things, Vishnu is driven by a passion to learn, teach, create, and bring order out of chaos.On The Menu:Scaling Uber's infrastructure from 16 to 4,000 engineersBuilding systems that survive 10x, 100x, 1000x growthNetwork bottlenecks in AI factories and GPU connectivityHow Uber for Business started from a random networking requestAngel investing lessons: backing founders over trends and hypeChina expansion: cranes, windows, and creative data center solutionsAutonomous vehicle push in 2016: when innovation moved too fast

“O Daityas, just as Vishnu is in those weapons and also situated in me, so by that truth your weapons will not be able to overcome me.”  (Prahlada Maharaja, Vishnu Purana, 1.17.33)

Host Philip Gervasi talks with Uber's Vishnu Acharya about how Uber applies machine learning and MLOps to network operations at hyperscale. Vishnu explains Uber's intentionally simple network design across on-prem and multi-cloud, then shares practical machine learning use cases like predictive capacity planning, hardware failure rate-tracking, and alert correlation to reduce noise and speed mitigation. They also discuss organizational issues, including building blended network/software teams, partnering with internal ML groups, and focusing on service-level outcomes over hype.

This week's podcast guest is Achala Mihajlović. Achala started her spiritual journey at the early age of 16, and met her Satguru, Paramahamsa Vishwananda, at 17. Just a year later she became an Atma Kriya Yoga teacher and started to teach this ancient science of yoga and meditation in various countries. When she came across the science of Vedic Astrology in 2009, she fell in love with it – not because of its predictive accuracy, but because she realised that astrology is a powerful tool for personal and spiritual development. Currently an author of 5 books, she is also hosting a number of courses.In this week's episode we cover the following topics:Hindu ScripturesThe PuranasThe Markandeya Purana Devi Mahatmiya Goddess KaliGoddess LakshmiGoddess SaraswatiRaja, Tama & Sattva GunasAutonomic nervous system Lord Brahma, Vishnu & SivaChakras, nadis & granthis Navaratri Visit Achala:Website: https://discoveringyouniverse.com/Academy: https://academy.discoveringyouniverse.com/Journey with the Goddess: https://academy.discoveringyouniverse.com/courses/journey-with-goddess-navaratri-workshop/Journey with the Navagrahas: https://academy.discoveringyouniverse.com/courses/journey-with-the-navagrahas/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@DiscoveringYouniverseVisit Law of Positivism:https://www.instagram.com/lawofpositivism/Website: https://www.lawofpositivism.com/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/lawofpositivism/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/lawofpositivismTikTok: www.tiktok.com/@lawofpositivism 

Happy New Year. I am back after a long pause, and very happy to share the 2026 year-ahead forecast, which I recorded with the wonderful Theresa Ulfa on January 1st. There is so much to say about the year ahead, which is sure to bring twelve months of hurricane-force beginnings and endings, but I am going to try to condense the most essential message I'd like to share about 2026 into a few imperfect words below:As we move into this new year, the gate between the watery dissolution of Pisces and rebirth by fire in the Martial territory of Aries is acutely magnetized. The feeling is one of standing on a precipice with a blindfold. The path we've crossed to get here has eroded behind our footsteps, and the path forward is obscured by the smoke of a still-smoldering fire. If ever there were a moment for a leap of faith, this is it. The question is who and what deserves the incredible gift, blessing, and power of your faith?(Spoiler alert: it's you.)For some time, I've been internally relating to 2026–2027 as a portal to the new world. Normally, I hesitate to use this kind of hyperbolic language, but as Saturn and Neptune pass hand-in-hand through the last sign of the zodiac and into the first, it may truly feel as if the known, charted world is collapsing, like a pop-up paper diorama flattened by a tug on some great invisible cosmic pull-tab. As Neptune's fog calls Saturn across the ocean of Pisces and meets him at the equinox gate of zero degrees of Aries, we will surrender to both welcome and unwelcome endings. And like any good apocalypse story, in the wake of this flattening, a great war is sure to be fought over whose influence and vision will lead in reshaping the world to the specifications of its new, and yet unknown, dimensions. Many people and groups will declare themselves the winner of this war, only to be dethroned in short order by a parade of relentless and short-lived usurpers. We are in for a period of long, chaotic change. Give nobody authority over your life; hold fast to your vision and to your goodness. Do what you can to build what you want to see and experience in your life and in your community.I chose for this podcast (and for the year) the image of the sword-wielding Kalki and his white horse. For those unfamiliar with the Hindu spiritual traditions, Kalki is the future Avatar of Vishnu, foretold to incarnate at the end of the Kali Yuga (the age of spiritual and material degeneration) to restore the creation and all life to a state of perfected integrity. I am not an expert on Kalki, and I am sure this prophecy is differently relevant and differently meaningful to the many sects and lineages, but from my perspective as a Western spiritual aspirant and astrologer, as I stand at the end of this precipice, what I am expecting to burst forth from this thick Neptunian haze is exactly Kalki. But I know we won't find him in a single human or even necessarily in the world. We'll find him inside our hearts.with love,Christina & Theresawww.skiesofgrace.comwww.innercurrents.com Get full access to Skies and Currents at skiesofgrace.substack.com/subscribe

The Most EXPLOSIVE Debate on Reservation in India | Ajeet Bharti, Vishnu Shankar Jain, Anupam Mishra

Send us a text In this episode of Sikh History Sakhi – Season 3, we reflect on Pauris 30 and 31 of Jap Ji Sahib, exploring Guru Nanak Dev Ji's vision of one Divine Source behind all creation. Through the examples of Brahma, Vishnu, and Shiva, Guru Nanak Ji reminds us that all forces arise from Ik Onkar, the One Truth. He then addresses human fear and anxiety, reassuring us that the Divine reigns everywhere and provides for all. These pauris guide us beyond rituals, inviting us to live with trust, humility, and awareness of the One. Meaning- Puratan Shabad Kirtanhttps://www.instagram.com/sikh_history_sakhi/ https://www.sikhhistorysakhi.com/

On the 8th day of the waning moon in the Vedic calendar month of Mrgaśirsha, we celebrate the birth anniversary of Holy Mother Sārada Devī. This an exceedingly auspicious a day for our lineage especially if not also for all worshippers of the Divine Mother everywhere in every lineage. It is a special day for everyone, actually, because today, we celebrate the "avatarahood" of the Divine Mother Herself! In 2023, we gave the talk The Tantra of Holy Mother Sarada Devi exploring Holy Mother's central teaching, "don't find fault with others/no one is a stranger to you/the world is your very own": we tried our best there to point out the non-dual teaching embedded in this seemingly innocuous, but actually theologically dense, teaching. Then, we asked Who is Holy Mother Sārada Devī? in 2024. With the disclaimer that स्वरूपं त्वदीयं न विन्दन्ति देवाः, "even the gods do not understand her true nature", we tried to sketch out a brief biography of this mysterious avatāra of Mā. Also, I thought it would be helpful to contemplate Holy Mother both as the ideal student as well as the Guru in Sārada Devī as Tantrik Guru. In this talk we encounter her emphasis on japa, that is, the recitation of the holy name as the centerpiece of spiritual practice. This year, I thought we'd do something a little more esoteric: let's explore the link between Holy Mother and various forms of the Tāntrik Goddess, with a special emphasis on the red-hued Jaggadhātī (who is very likely Holy Mother's ishta besides Ramakrishna and certainly her kula-devī, family deity) and the red-hued Lalitā Mahātripurasundarī (or Ṣoḍaśī).We also make a few etymological claims also about Her name and about Sāradā as the patron deity of Kashmir and also Adi Shankara's Śrī Vidyā stronghold in the south: Sringeri Math. You'll find all of our talks on Holy Mother all in one place here. Today is also the Feast Day of the Lady of Guadalupe! Last year, we gave a lecture called Kālī = The Lady of Guadalupecomparing the two! It is to this day one of my favorite talks ever! But ultimately, what can we say about She who becomes the very words we use to praise Her? Who can praise Her here? By Her power Brahma, Vishnu and I have taken our embodied forms! Who then can truly praise You, You who are prior to all of us? And yet, futile though it may be, here is our attempt to try to fit the ocean of your limitless Being into the teacup of our limited understanding! May all these clumsy words be like so many hibiscus flowers placed one by one at Your lotus feet in worship! Support the showLectures happen live every Monday at 7pm PST and again at Friday 11am PST Use this link and I will see you there:https://www.zoom.us/j/7028380815For more videos, guided meditations and instruction and for access to our lecture library, visit me at:https://www.patreon.com/yogawithnishTo get in on the discussion and access various spiritual materials, join our Discord here: https://discord.gg/U8zKP8yMrM

It's time for some good old-fashioned epic action with our first episode on the Ramayana, one of the great Sanskrit-language epics from India. Composed as a written work from about 350 BCE onward (but probably much earlier as an oral poem), the Ramayana tells of the trials and tribulations of Rama, Prince of Kosala and avatar of the god Vishnu. It has everything from romance and battle to deep spiritual wisdom and a divine monkey hero who overthinks a lot.Want to read a transcript or see our references? Click here.

Esse mês eu vou trazer 9 livros que vão levar vcs a um passeio por aspectos de algumas das religiões com mais praticantes no mundo e no Brasil: catolicismo, protestantismo (evangélicos), judaísmo, islamismo, hinduísmo, budismo, espiritismo, além das religiões afro-brasileiras candomblé e umbanda. Atualmente, mais do que nunca, o mundo precisa de tolerância, empatia e respeito a diversidade religiosa. Hoje nosso passeio pelas religiões do mundo aterrissa no hinduismo, a terceira maior religião do mundo, com o livro "My Bindi", ou "Meu Bindi", escrito por Gita Varadarajan, ilustrado por Archana Sreenivasan e não publicado no Brasil, por isso eu traduzi e adaptei especialmente pra esse episodio. Divya tem medo de colocar o bindi pela primeira vez. E se ela for ridicularizada? Como será essa sensação? Mas Amma garante que o bindi lhe trará proteção. Depois de procurar na caixa especial de Amma o bindi perfeito para colocar, Divya se olha no espelho e descobre um novo lado de si mesma, o que lhe dá força.Para acompanhar a história juntamente com as ilustrações do livro, compre o livro aqui: ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://amzn.to/4rda7SZO bindi é um ponto de cor que se usa entre os olhos ou no centro da testa, especialmente entre os hindus, simbolizando o "terceiro olho" (chakra Ajna), o centro da sabedoria e intuição. Esse livro trouxe um aspecto do hinduismo, que é a principal religião na Índia e a terceira maior religião do mundo. Tem um sistema de crenças bastante diversificado, podendo ser considerado politeísta ou monoteísta dependendo de sua vertente. Os vedas são as principais escrituras do hinduísmo e são considerados os textos religiosos, ainda em uso, mais antigos. Brahma, Shiva, Vishnu, Ganesha, Lakshmi são alguns dos seus principais deuses. Fiquem ligados que daqui a 3 dias sai mais um episodio, dessa vez sobre o budismo, não percam! Se vc gostou, compartilhe com seus amigos e me siga nas redes sociais! ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/bookswelove_livrosqueamamos/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

Does the world exist outside of our own mind?10:09 Is the creation in the mind the same technology for which this world has been created by a higher potency mind?12:58 Can we say that a higher potency consciousness has a thought and within that thought a consciousness has arisen?14:58 In the universe was the creation a single event, or is it continuously creating within that universe?28:55 Is the practice to ‘just watch' the practice to stop the creation of thoughts?30:27 Why do I feel God created me to perform certain karmic duties in this world, but as I grow older I feel I want to abandon my worldly desires and society to follow in Babaji's footsteps?38:37 What is the difference between consciousness and attention? Who directs attention to the Self?40:03 Do circulating thoughts come from our memory?42:49 Is our ability to think of something in the mind simply due to the brain?44:18 In the great beginning, was there a visualization before the first concepts came into universe?44:40 Some people have aphantasia, where they have no ability to have a picture in the mind's eye – is this just an effect of the brain?45:11 For Ramakrishna, Kali the Cosmic Mother was so real, but when He reached Nirvikalpa Samadhi did She disappear, was She an imagination?46:20 Are places like Vaikuntha where they say Vishnu resides real places or imaginations?46:43 When sitting in meditation there is no experience, so how do I know if I am in samadhi, or sleep, or trance, what is the difference between them?49:22 How do I know when I get out of meditation whether or not I was in a trance or sleeping?51:35 How does the higher consciousness help us deal with the everyday life that is in the dream?53:02 If the consciousness is not applied, does the imaginative world get reduced?54:44 Though Babaji's mind is completely silent, is the appearance of this world still strong?55:31 So after Nirvikalpa Samadhi, the Yogi doesn't pay attention to the universe, but it is just there?56:20 Are vasanas the acquired habits of the mind?56:50 Babaji's closing words___Subscribe: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC6YHFKcPK_XT96VO7xuk6RQWebsite: http://www.srby.orgFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/shivarudrabalayogiTwitter: https://twitter.com/SRBYmissionInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/shivarudrabalayogi/Register your free place for the live online meditation and Q&A with Babaji: https://www.shivarudrabalayogi.org/en/online-satsang Website: http://www.srby.orgFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/shivarudrabalayogiTwitter: https://twitter.com/SRBYmissionInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/shivarudrabalayogi/

pWotD Episode 3093: Diwali Welcome to popular Wiki of the Day, spotlighting Wikipedia's most visited pages, giving you a peek into what the world is curious about today.With 407,031 views on Monday, 20 October 2025 our article of the day is Diwali.Dipavali (IAST: Dīpāvalī), commonly known as Diwali (English: ), is the Hindu festival of lights, with variations celebrated in other Indian religions such as Jainism and Sikhism. It symbolises the spiritual victory of Dharma over Adharma, light over darkness, good over evil, and knowledge over ignorance. Diwali is celebrated during the Hindu lunisolar months of Ashvin (according to the amanta tradition) and Kārtika – between around mid-September and mid-November. The celebrations generally last five or six days.Diwali is connected to various religious events, deities and personalities, such as being the day Rama returned to his kingdom in Ayodhya with his wife Sita and his brother Lakshmana after defeating the demon king Ravana. It is also widely associated with Lakshmi, the goddess of prosperity, and Ganesha, the god of wisdom and the remover of obstacles. Other regional traditions connect the holiday to Vishnu, Krishna, Durga, Shiva, Kali, Hanuman, Kubera, Yama, Yami, Dhanvantari, or Vishvakarman.Primarily a Hindu festival, variations of Diwali are also celebrated by adherents of other faiths. The Jains observe their own Diwali which marks the final liberation of Mahavira. The Sikhs celebrate Bandi Chhor Divas to mark the release of Guru Hargobind from a Mughal prison. Newar Buddhists, unlike other Buddhists, celebrate Diwali by worshipping Lakshmi, while the Hindus of Eastern India and Bangladesh generally, celebrate Diwali by worshipping the goddess Kali.During the festival, the celebrants illuminate their homes, temples and workspaces with diyas (oil lamps), candles and lanterns. Hindus, in particular, have a ritual oil bath at dawn on each day of the festival. Diwali is also marked with fireworks as well as the decoration of floors with rangoli designs and other parts of the house with jhalars. Food is a major focus with families partaking in feasts and sharing mithai. The festival is an annual homecoming and bonding period not only for families, but also for communities and associations, particularly those in urban areas, which will organise activities, events, and gatherings. Many towns organise community parades and fairs with parades or music and dance performances in parks. Some Hindus, Jains, and Sikhs will send Diwali greeting cards to family near and far during the festive season, occasionally with boxes of Indian confectionery. Another aspect of the festival is remembering the ancestors.Diwali is also a major cultural event for the Hindu, Sikh, and Jain diaspora. The main day of the festival of Diwali (the day of Lakshmi Puja) is an official holiday in Fiji, Guyana, India, Malaysia, Mauritius, Myanmar, Nepal, Pakistan, Singapore, Sri Lanka, Suriname, and Trinidad and Tobago, and is symbolically recognized by some US state governments.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 03:24 UTC on Tuesday, 21 October 2025.For the full current version of the article, see Diwali on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Bluesky at @wikioftheday.com.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm neural Brian.

Born into the Brahmins, the highest caste class in India, Ganesh began doubting Hinduism while in college and eventually turned to atheism. While in the United States, the hospitality of a Christian family eventually led to the foot of the cross. Come and see. Ganesh Vankataramanan is a graduate from the prestigious Indian Institute of Technology.He works as a Vice President at a software technology company. With his background in science and experience in working with highly analytical teams, Ganesh found that scientific explanations, while fine in themselves, lacked depth and human meaning. In his attempts to better understand life, he stumbled across religion and then Jesus.

Hi there, Loyal Readers. Before launching into today's issue, I've got three updates:* A big welcome to all the new subscribers from The Electric Typewriter. Thank you for trying out Article Club! I've been following TEW for 10+ years. It's a great curated resource of outstanding articles. * This week on the podcast, Melinda and I chat about her foster puppy, Melinda's Grief Corner, and our first impressions of this month's article of the month, “They Burn Books to Burn Us Too,” by Saint Trey W. Hope you take a listen.* Speaking of our article of the month, here's more information about it. I warmly invite you to join our discussion on Sunday, August 24, at 2:00 pm PT. All you need to do is click the button below to sign up.All right, let's get to today's issue. One reason I do Article Club is to read and share articles that push my empathy. This week's lead article, “Transitional Period,” did exactly that. Written by Kai Cheng Thom, the piece is about parents who say hateful things about their trans kids. As a trans person, Kai can't accept their hostility. As a therapist, however, she responds with compassion, understanding that their sentiments, though hurtful and wrongheaded, are an expression of grief. “Their anger and bitterness are often a disguise for a deep wellspring of fear and shame around the parental terror of having failed your child,” she writes. If you feel safe to read the article, I encourage you to. I'd love to hear your thoughts about it.If reading about parents of trans kids is too much or doesn't interest you, never fear. I have three other pieces ready for your attention. They are articles about:* a woman who works four jobs and still can't make ends meet* a program that pays young people $50 a week, no strings attached* a policy that forever bans anyone 25 years old and under from buying vapesHope you enjoy this week's issue. As always, thank you for your readership and your support of Article Club. If you appreciate the newsletter, I'd be honored if you shared it with a friend or colleague. Have a great weekend ahead!1️⃣ Transitional PeriodKai Cheng Thom writes with a generosity of spirit in this thought-provoking piece.Between the ages of sixteen and thirty-one, I worked in the overlapping fields of grassroots queer community-building, social work and clinical child and family therapy. During that time, I worked with queer and trans youth and their families in a drop-in centre, a psychiatry department, a sexuality clinic, and a community-based therapy program. A core theme I encountered across all those contexts was the grief that many parents of trans youth experience. These parents could not find a way to love their kids as they were, instead mourning who they had thought their children would be. This grief was often paired with anger toward the LGBTQ2S+ community, which some parents framed as having “stolen their kids.”Like many millennial queer activists, I had been trained by my peers to react to such sentiments by dismissing them outright as wrongheaded and problematic. Contemporary psychological theory and research findings assert that parental expressions of grief and anger over children coming out and transitioning can be significantly harmful to queer and trans youth. Yet in the role of a practitioner, sitting across from adults caught in a sea of rage, pain, fear and sadness, it was clear that it would be neither kind, nor effective in supporting the wellness of trans youth, to tell these parents to just get over themselves. As I listened to them talk and looked into their eyes, I knew that their fears came from somewhere deep within. Those fears would not be assuaged through academic debate — they needed to be met with compassion in order to be transformed.By Kai Cheng Thom • Maisonneuve • 13 min • Gift Link2️⃣ Confessions of the Working PoorJeni Gunn works four jobs (security consulting, emergency management, private investigating, freelance writing) and still can barely pay the rent on her 500-square-foot basement apartment in British Columbia, Canada. It doesn't help that she's got $6.58 left in her checking account. In this unvarnished, straight-ahead account of her daily life, Ms. Gunn, who is 51 years old, illuminates the struggles that many people face to make ends meet. She acknowledges that dropping out of college, pursuing daycare as a profession, having a kid, and getting a divorce certainly did not help her chances at economic stability. But she wonders, Shouldn't there be more pathways for the working poor to meet their material needs?By Jeni Gunn • Macleans • 17 min • Gift Link3️⃣ How To Improve Kids' Lives? Give Them $50 A WeekMy students used to ask me, “Why do you get paid and we don't?” It was a fair question, and my answer never satisfied them. Too bad they were born too early, because now, several schools across the country are experimenting with giving students cash, $50 a week. The program, called The $50 Study, began at Rooted School in New Orleans five years ago. So far, the results are mixed. On the one hand, grades and attendance have not improved too much. But on the other hand, students have learned financial literacy skills, saving on average 15 percent of their income — a much higher rate than most American adults. What I find refreshing about The $50 Study is that the money comes unconditionally, no-strings-attached. “I don't think what we're doing is so radical. I believe this just works,” says Talia Livneh, Rooted's senior director of programs. “They deserve deep, deep trust that students and people know what's best for them.”By Neal Morton • The Hechinger Report • 8 min • Gift Link4️⃣ How To Get Kids To Stop Vaping? Ban It Forever.Want to get young people to change their behavior? One approach (the article above) is to give them what they want and offer them choice. Another approach (this article) is to take away what they want and offer them no choice. If you happen to want to buy cigarettes or vapes in Brookline, Massachusetts, and your identification says you were born on or after Jan. 1, 2000, you're out of luck. Sorry, no vapes for you, for the rest of your life. Sure, you can bop over to Boston, 10 minutes away, and get your fill, but still, Brookline's bold stance has elicited praise from health professionals and other cities. But in her reporting, writer Makena Gera is not so sure. Isn't this taking away young people's agency? How do we teach kids how to choose if we don't get them choices?By Makena Gera • Boston Magazine • 10 min • Gift LinkThank you for reading this week's issue. Hope you liked it.

Just like a codebreaker working through symbols can gradually uncover a single unifying truth—a key that makes sense of everything—the spiritual journey can unfold in a similar way. Raghunath and Kaustubha explore how a path of trust, focused attention, and turning inward can reveal a deeper coherence beneath life's confusion. What at first feels chaotic and fragmented—like an unbreakable code—can suddenly click into place when one discovers the truth that pervades it all. The great yogis found that key in the knowledge of Vishnu—the all-pervading presence within and behind everything. And once that truth is grasped, fear dissolves and life begins to make sense.

This episode begins with one of the great scenes in the mythologies of India. Indra had become King of the Earth by winning a great battle; he also became obsessed with power and increasingly demanding. Just when all the people were being reduced to dust and bones by the endless orders and sudden changes, the self-proclaimed lord of the earth has a surprising encounter with a ragged beggar boy. Although young and seemingly an outcast, the orphan boy knows more than the king about the use of power, the meaning of life and how the world can change in a moment.     We are each the beggar boy in the sense that we know what it means to be the orphan, the outcast, the immigrant or other who is being rejected, alienated or exiled. And in the end, the orphan boy, who breaks the spells of self-glorification and self-delusion that entraps the king and all the land, turns out to be Vishnu, the original creator who dreams up the world. Those who insist on claiming that they are superior and more righteous or entitled than others are not only psychologically rejecting their own inner orphan, they are also severing their connection to the underlying and essentially unifying dream of life.      Thank you for listening to and supporting Living Myth.

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for March 19, 2025 is: juggernaut • JUG-er-nawt • noun A juggernaut is something (such as a force, campaign, or movement) that is extremely large and powerful and cannot be stopped. // The team is a juggernaut this year, winning more games than any team before it has. See the entry > Examples: "[Judd] Apatow talked about the box office success of 'Wicked,' the Universal musical that became a juggernaut over the holiday season and has been an awards darling ..." — Cynthia Littleton, Variety, 8 Feb. 2025 Did you know? In the early 14th century, Franciscan missionary Friar Odoric brought to Europe the story of an enormous carriage that carried an image of the Hindu god Vishnu (whose title was Jagannāth, literally, "lord of the world") through the streets of India in religious processions. Odoric reported that some worshippers deliberately allowed themselves to be crushed beneath the vehicle's wheels as a sacrifice to Vishnu. That story was likely an exaggeration or misinterpretation of actual events, but it spread throughout Europe. The tale caught the imagination of English listeners, and they began using juggernaut to refer to any massive vehicle (such as a steam locomotive) and to any other enormous entity with powerful crushing capabilities. While the word is still used sometimes in British English to refer to a very large, heavy truck (also called a "juggernaut lorry"), juggernaut is more commonly used figuratively for a relentless force, entity, campaign, or movement, as in "a political/economic/cultural juggernaut."

Like a great classical composition, the Śrīmad Bhāgavatam unfolds as variations on a theme—repeating, refining, and revealing a singular truth through different stories and characters. That truth? Beyond the pursuit of pleasure (bhoga) and even the escape of liberation (mokṣa), the highest fulfillment is found in bhakti—a relationship of divine love. In this episode of Wisdom of the Sages, Raghunath and Kaustubha explore how this theme plays out in the dramatic encounter between Durvāsā Muni and King Ambarīṣa. More than just an ancient tale, their story touches on something deeply relevant—our modern struggles with power, ego, and the fear of surrender. What does it really mean when Vishnu declares that He is controlled by love? And how does this vision of the divine challenge our deepest assumptions about strength, authority, and freedom?
