Have you ever wondered whether the modern narrative of empowerment is missing something essential? We live in a world where empowerment is often defined as the independent freedom to do as we please. But in this thought-provoking episode, Raghunath and Kaustubha explore a radically different idea—drawn from the bhakti-yoga tradition—that deep commitment can be a source of supernatural strength. Sītā, whose unwavering integrity and loyalty ultimately crushed the might of Ravana, is more than a mythological figure—she's a spiritual archetype. This episode challenges the assumption that power comes from autonomy, and offers a vision of strength rooted in devotion, integrity, and focus. Whether it's to a person, a principle, or the Divine, commitment—according to the Bhakti tradition—isn't weakness. It's where real empowerment begins. Key Highlights: * The Bhagavatam doesn't just expose Ravana—it holds up a mirror to our modern cravings * Why unexamined desire can lead to destruction—even when you “have it all” * “Attractive, but not what I need”—the mantra that builds inner strength * The supernatural force of Sītā's chastity and the deeper meaning of loyalty * A masculine path to power that isn't about suppression, but sacred focus * Speaking truth to power—without hostility or ego * Raghu & Kaustubha imagine what it would it be like seeing Hanuman flying in the first class cabin

Harmony Slater reconnects with longtime friend and fellow teacher Paul Dallaghan to explore his journey from Ireland to India, from business school to biology, and from asana to advanced Pranayama. Paul shares the inner current that drew him to spiritual practice, his years immersed in India and Thailand, and his groundbreaking research on how breath-based yoga practices affect longevity, telomere length, and mental health. The episode is filled with insights on what it means to be truly engaged in your practice, how ancient yogic techniques translate into measurable physiological benefits, and why sincerity may be the most essential ingredient in personal transformation. Whether you're a seasoned yoga practitioner or someone looking to understand how the breath can change your brain and your life, this episode will spark curiosity and offer grounded, heart-centered wisdom. In This Episode, You'll Hear: Paul's early spiritual awakenings from farms in France to kibbutzim in Israel How yoga found him in New York City and redirected his life path His years in India, spiritual pilgrimages, and devotion to Pranayama The influence of Sri O.P. Tiwari and the Kaivalyadhama lineage His PhD research at Emory University: what ancient yogis knew and science now confirms Why telomere length matters and how breath practices directly impact it What sincerity in practice really looks like, and why it's essential Surprising stories about psychedelics and why they had little effect on him Guest Bio: Paul has spent 30 years in the wellbeing arena, from immersion in original breath-body-mind practices to cultural and scientific study.  He is CEO and founder of Samahita Retreat since 2003, the first full wellbeing retreat center in Asia, known for breath, yoga, wellness and fitness, thriving today on Ko Samui, Thailand.  Paul spent many years in India, including in Mysore with P Jois, being the last to be certified by him in his lifetime (in 2007). He learnt pranayama in-depth with his primary teacher, O.P.Tiwari. Paul was  acknowledged in 2022 in the Indian tradition as “Master Yogi: Pranacharya (Breath Expert)”.  Paul was aware of the need for robust research and deep study in this field and devoted himself to academic scholarship, earning a Ph.D in Biological Anthropology from Emory University. His area of specialty was the breath and related practices, their history and origins, as well as a scientific analysis where he developed protocols and carried out a clinical trial study assessing psychological and physiological markers on mental health, stress, and longevity outcomes. Paul has taught practical workshops all over the world as well as at the University level while being an invited speaker to events, conferences or by private organizations. The ability to laugh and banter and not take yourself seriously are key to his philosophy of life. All this while being a devoted father to two sons.

Y a-t-il trop de profs de yoga aujourd'hui ?C'est une question qu'on entend de plus en plus souvent, surtout dans les grandes villes où l'offre semble exploser. Certains parlent de saturation, d'autres s'inquiètent de pouvoir en vivre… mais que se cache-t-il vraiment derrière cette impression ?Dans cet épisode, je ne cherche pas à trancher, mais à ouvrir la réflexion. En tant que formatrice en yoga, je participe à ce système : je forme des profs, des collègues, parfois des “concurrents”. Alors… puis-je dire qu'il y en a trop ? Et si la vraie question était ailleurs : dans notre façon de penser le métier, d'en parler, de le transmettre ?Je partage ici 5 raisons pour lesquelles je ne pense pas qu'on soit trop nombreux, et surtout une invitation à réfléchir ensemble à ce que veut dire enseigner le yoga aujourd'hui, dans un monde en pleine évolution.Pour poursuivre l'aventure, rejoignez la Newsletter qui s'adresse aux profs de Yoga.

Kathi ist praktizierende Yogalehrerin und Kinderkrankenschwester und berichtet über ihre persönlichen Erfahrungen und wie ihr Yoga, Affirmationen und mentale Arbeit geholfen haben die lange Liegezeit im Krankenhaus und die ersten Wochen mit Zwillingsbabys gut zu bewältigen. Wie kann Yoga und bewusste Atmung in der Schwangerschaft und unter der Geburt unterstützen? Welche Übungen sind hilfreich und welche sollten besser nicht durchgeführt werden? Unter welchen Vorraussetzungen kann Yoga in der Zwillingsschwangerschaft durchgeführt werden und was benötigt man dafür? Diese und viele weitere Aspekte beleuchten Kathi und Inga.

The Ramayana doesn't just tell an ancient story—it reveals eternal truths. In this episode, Raghunath and Kaustubha explore one of the most profound contrasts in the epic: how Ravana and Hanuman each approach Sita. What unfolds is not just mythological drama—it's a powerful spiritual teaching. Sita is the personification of good fortune herself. In bhakti wisdom, how we approach her—whether with reverence and devotion or with a mood of exploitation—determines the auspiciousness or inauspiciousness that flows though our lives. This isn't just about Sita and Ravana. It's about all of us and the world around us.  And yes, the Pope gets a shout-out. So do monkeys with torches. Key Highlights: * Ravana, Hanuman, and the spiritual do's and don'ts of divine energy * Why auspiciousness isn't random—it's relational * The Pope, Easter, and holy humility * Monkeys vs. modern weapons: Why the jungle army wins * The arc of the moral universe is long—but don't worry, zoom out * Why Sita's curse beat Ravana's black magic

Hace 10 años compré el libro El cuerpo lleva la cuenta de Bessel Van der Kolk (The Body Keeps The Score) en inglés. Para ese entonces, estaba recién llegado a las librerías de Estados Unidos y fue un éxito en ventas en las listas principales durante semanas. Yo lo leí hasta la mitad, pero desistí, porque la parte más médica, anatómica y sobre todo neurológica, me pareció supemamente pesada. El año pasado, estaba de visita en una librería en España y lo vi en español. No no lo estaba buscando pero SABÍA que necesitaba comprarlo. Lo compré. Lo leí. Reflexioné. Subrayé y estudié. Este libro es un FENÓMENO. Es BRILLANTE. Es NECESARIO. En Colombia, desafortunadamente no se consigue y sé que es un libro al que quizá muchos no lleguen. Por eso me animé a compartirles algunos apartes en este y en el próximo episodio. Deseando que les mueva el alma, como lo hizo conmigo.

The Connected Yoga Teacher Podcast 395: Anticolonial Philosophy & Yoga with Shyam Ranganathan   Description: Yoga philosophy can sometimes feel overwhelming, inapplicable to the modern problems we face today, or just too abstract. Dr. Shyam Ranganathan, a repeat guest on the podcast, has a gift for breaking philosophy down in a way that we can relate to.   Dr. Shyam Ranganathan is a philosopher, author, researcher, and leading voice in anti-colonial philosophy, as well as the founder of the Yoga Philosophy Institute. He specializes in the study and translation of philosophy, especially South Asian philosophy and Yoga. In his recent book, Yoga — AntiColonial Philosophy, Shyam explores yoga as a decolonial tradition and how we can reconnect to that legacy in our modern practice.   In this episode, Shyam explains how colonialism shows up even in yoga philosophy, and how we can apply the practice of yoga and yoga philosophy to the many social justice issues we face in the world. He shares more about Ishvara Pranidhana (devotion to sovereignty), samskaras (rituals and practices), and how we might apply them to our daily lives to take back agency and practice yogic behavior. Tune into this conversation if you are seeking to be inspired by how philosophy can be a tool for liberation.   Key Takeaways: [2:04] Shannon gives a shout-out to sponsor, OfferingTree. [3:08] Shannon introduces her guest for this episode - Dr. Shyam Ranganathan. [6:20] What does Shyam do and who does he do it for? [8:06] How did Shyam choose the title of his book, Yoga — AntiColonial Philosophy? [9:27] Why is it that yoga philosophy does not often give a platform to the voices of South Asian yoga teachers and authors? [13:35] Shyam reflects on how education is not really about learning but about training people to follow instructions. [16:39] How does the practice of yoga and yoga philosophy apply to the many social justice issues we are facing in the world? [21:40] Shyam explains the concept of Ishvara Pranidhana (devotion to sovereignty) in more concrete terms with some examples.  [24:19] What is the practice to get out of being stuck in our own prejudices? [26:23] What are samskaras in yoga and how do they affect us? [29:55] Shyam shares how we can take back and redeploy our agency instead of getting stuck in loops and patterns. [31:58] Shannon pops in to give a shout-out of thanks to OfferingTree. [33:25] Simply practicing yoga is the easiest way to disrupt the harm of colonialism. [34:47] Shannon and Shyam discuss how challenging certain laws may be a part of resisting colonialism and is yogic behavior. [39:47] Shyam explains what he means by "the real philosophical practice is what one does where one already is in relationship to the people that are already in one's life." [44:51] What is a practice that can be a first baby step for someone who has not explored much of yoga philosophy? [46:57] What might the first moment of conscious thought look like when we are showing up as an ally for ourselves? Shyam talks about what the practice of yoga can look like in our daily lives. [51:31] Shannon and Shyam discuss the future of (de)colonization. [57:35] Shannon and Shyam chat about how he felt writing the book and how Shannon felt reading it. [58:49] Connect with Shyam via his website or on Instagram to learn more. [59:18] Shannon shares her biggest takeaways from this conversation.   Links: Dr. Shyam Ranganathan Dr. Shyam Ranganathan on Instagram Yoga AntiColonial Philosophy by Dr. Shyam Ranganathan The Connected Yoga Teacher Podcast Episode 269: Yoga Philosophy and Colonialism with Shyam Ranganathan The Connected Yoga Teacher Facebook Group Shannon Crow on Instagram   Gratitude to our Sponsor, OfferingTree   Quotes from this episode: "The fact that people do self-select in this way speaks to a kind of an actual fear of learning."   "What we call education, especially in the West, is not really education. It's geared to getting us to follow instructions."   "Every kind of bigotry or small-mindedness is part of just not being free from those past experiences."   "What happens is we don't see our agency when we're in these patterns and loops because our agency is hidden by these patterns, but our agency is what's powering it. So we have to find a way to redeploy our agency."   "You can't be working on your autonomy and also being colonized at the same time."

The Ramayana doesn't just tell an ancient story—it reveals eternal truths. In this episode, Raghunath and Kaustubha explore one of the most profound contrasts in the epic: how Ravana and Hanuman each approach Sita. What unfolds is not just mythological drama—it's a powerful spiritual teaching. Sita is the personification of good fortune herself. In bhakti wisdom, how we approach her—whether with reverence and devotion or with a mood of exploitation—determines the auspiciousness or inauspiciousness that flows though our lives. This isn't just about Sita and Ravana. It's about all of us and the world around us.  And yes, the Pope gets a shout-out. So do monkeys with torches. Key Highlights: * Ravana, Hanuman, and the spiritual do's and don'ts of divine energy * Why auspiciousness isn't random—it's relational * The Pope, Easter, and holy humility * Monkeys vs. modern weapons: Why the jungle army wins * The arc of the moral universe is long—but don't worry, zoom out * Why Sita's curse beat Ravana's black magic

In our latest episode of Musings From The Mount, we explore the Four Contemplations from Buddhist tradition - simple yet profound reflections that can help us navigate the constant distractions of 2025. As notifications and endless news cycles compete for our attention, these ancient practices offer a way to focus on what truly matters. The conversation examines how Eastern philosophical traditions often distill complex wisdom into concise teachings that invite direct experience rather than intellectual debate. We contrast this approach with Western tendencies to seek ever more information, noting how meaning comes not from accumulating knowledge but from living the questions. The episode unpacks each contemplation: appreciating the preciousness of human life, contemplating impermanence, understanding karma, and recognizing the limitations of endless cycles of wanting. Our discussion takes personal turns as we share experiences of gratitude practices during difficult recovery periods, witnessing seasonal changes at Meditation Mount, and facing identity crises when our self-image no longer aligns with reality. These moments of vulnerability show how these contemplations aren't merely philosophical concepts but practical tools for everyday living. What emerges is an invitation to move beyond seeking answers outside ourselves and instead discover truth through direct experience. Whether you're struggling with digital overwhelm, questioning your purpose, or simply looking for more meaning in daily life, these contemplations offer a framework for turning inward without withdrawing from the world - what one Buddhist teacher describes as "the powerful and ordinary practice of dropping the mask of self-protection." Meditation Mount and HeartLight Productions are pleased to present Musings from the Mount – a weekly podcast with host Joseph Carenza and guests in conversation exploring a range of topics drawn from the Ageless Wisdom teachings. New episodes every Monday. If you enjoy this podcast, please consider donating at MeditationMount.org

As a qualified yoga instructor, I guess I'm qualified to talk about the cultiness of yoga? Are all yoga instructors one step away from losing their minds? I mean, maybe, yeah, but who am I to judge? It looks like a pretty nice way to live life if I'm being honest. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Do you have a graveyard of unfinished projects? A closet full of abandoned hobbies? If so, you're in the right placeIn this episode, we're untangling the idea of being a "professional quitter" especially within the ADHD community. Many of us carry a narrative of shame around quitting, impacting our confidence and future goals. But what if we could reframe quitting as a strength?Join me as I explore why those with ADHD often find quitting easy, delving into the role of dopamine, our interest-based nervous system and executive function challenges. I'll share my own experiences with quitting, from abandoned baby massage dolls to nine jobs in ten years…We'll unpack:

Du hast dich auf den Weg gemacht.Aus einem Schmerz heraus.Weil du wusstest: So wie es war, kann es nicht bleiben.Und plötzlich war da: Yoga, Kakao, Ecstatic Dance, Rituale.Die Welt der Spiritualität hat dich empfangen – und ja, sie hat dich genährt.Doch irgendwo unterwegs hast du dich vielleicht verloren.Im „Mehr“. Im Machen. Im Nächsten.In dieser Folge spreche ich über eine unbequeme Wahrheit:Dass Spiritualität oft zur neuen Komfortzone wird.Und wie leicht wir uns im „heiligen“ Konsum verlieren –statt uns wirklich, radikal, ehrlich zu begegnen.Ich teile mit dir meinen Weg:Vom tiefsten Punkt meines Selbstzweifelsbis zur radikalen Entscheidung, mich selbst zu wählen.Nicht im Außen. Sondern in der Stille. Im Bleiben.Wenn du spürst, dass du suchst – aber nie ankommst,dann ist diese Folge für dich.Und wenn dich dein Innerstes ruft,dann lade ich dich ein zu meinem Programm THE ONE –ab dem 5.5.25.Kein weiterer Kurs. Kein weiterer Trick.Sondern der Weg zurück zu dir.In die Tiefe. In die Wahl. In deine Wahrheit.✨ MEHR ZU THE ONEUnd hier findest du alle weiteren Infos:Homepage www.evalara.deFacebook Gruppe THE POWER OF LOVEInstagram @evalara.coachingDer wundervolle Titelsong ist von Alexia Chellun www.alexiachellun.com

Is trying to understand spiritual truth a futile task? Is it all beyond words and beyond the logical understanding of the human mind? In this Q&A episode of Wisdom of the Sages, Kaustubha Das, with guest host Kishori Gopi, takes on one of the deepest questions of spiritual life—whether the ultimate reality can be known, described, or even spoken of. Drawing from the ancient dialectic between Advaita Vedanta and Bhakti Vedanta, they explore how the Absolute is perceived across different schools of Indian philosophy, and whether Krishna's teachings are meant to be understood—or simply surrendered to. Then, things get bold and existential: If we're not the body or the mind… why not just commit suicide? This intense question opens the door to a profound discussion on karma, the soul's journey, and why trying to “opt out” is ill advised. Morgan Freeman shows up. So does Groundhog Day. Somehow it all makes sense. Key Highlights * The Bhakti perspective: Krishna can be understood—and described—in rich detail * How Shankara's “neti neti” approach led to the idea of the indescribable Absolute * Karma as a cosmic reformatory system * Why suicide doesn't break the cycle—just moves it like a whack-a-mole * What Newton might say about karma (and why we're not totally convinced) * “They muddy the waters to make them seem deep.” — Nietzsche, and also Kaustubha

This leaves many in a quandary, wondering why we are put to the test, surrounded by so many temptations.In this episode, Part One of a two-part series, Thom holds forth on the Vedic worldview with respect to desire and how we can live a life without regrets for desires unfulfilled. Discover why both obedience to desire's guidance and non-attachment to its fulfillment create the perfect balance for spiritual evolution. It's a revolutionary approach that transforms our understanding of what it means to want.Part Two of this series will be the next episode of The Vedic Worldview.Episode Highlights[00:45] Unfulfilled Desires[03:11] Reincarnation - Unfinished Business[06:18] Liberation from the Wheel of Death and Rebirth[09:00] Authorship of Desire: The Cause of Suffering[12:54] Percival from Arkansas Goes to the Cinema[15:31] Why am I having a desire?[18:18] Nature's Business[21:22] Filled with Fulfillment[24:56] Asteya and Vairagya[28:02] The Pollution of Unfulfilled Desires[31:31] What Are You?[34:22] Human Doings[38:48] Empirical Evidence Through Direct ExperienceUseful 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/

Vānaprastha is the third stage of life, acting as a bridge between the householder stage and the stage of renunciation. This period involves stepping back from everyday life, usually in a forest setting, to focus on spiritual reflection and readiness for the final stage of life. In this 5-part series, I'm sharing stories from Yoga that are set in the forest, where things can be shadowy and unclear, more mystical and nuanced. Part one is a story of ensuring you're focussing your attention on the things that really matter, and not spending your time agonising over things you simply can't change.

“US GLOBAL CURRENTS Teeter-Totter Reality” An Astrological Perspective.“The point of balance on the teeter-totter involves give and take. At this moment in history, a caravan of outer planets begins shifting signs. We have never experienced such a concoction of changing energetic realms. Introduced with Pluto Aquarius ingress just six months ago in November followed by the north node shifting into Pisces mid-January. Modern outer planets, Uranus and Neptune, rule those signs. Both of which are part of this current caravan. Neptune entered the zodiac start at 0°Aries a day before the Solar eclipse. Traditional rulers Saturn and Jupiter for Aquarius and Pisces move into new signs next. Completing this ingress train, Uranus transits into Gemini early July. Astrology reflects the sky patterns as planets transit through zodiac degrees, changing angles to other planets. According to the Hermetic code life reflects that above so below and vice versa. In fact, the idea goes on to say that what we experience and feel within is reflected without or externally, and vice versa,” said Sue Minahan, founder, and host of the weekly show. “The times in the USA and abroad echo these dynamic archetypal transitions. The cosmic map continues its predestined cycle orbiting. However, for us here on earth, the waves rock us into yet new patterns still unknown. Humanity holds free will unlike the determined cycles orbiting.”Join Sue Rose Minahan of Kailua-Kona, Big Island of Hawaii featuring Justin Crockett Elzie of Port Angeles, Washington, and Robert J Pacitti of Penn Run, Pennsylvania.

Hey Rainmakers! Chelsey and Stephen here, and today's episode is all about what it really looks like to pivot, persevere, and profit. We sat down with one of our very own Mastermind members, Jennifer Jackson, to hear how she built a six-figure yoga brand—starting from scratch, solo, and with no personal yoga background. Yep, you read that right. Jennifer is a self-described dabbler turned determined entrepreneur. She's done everything from real estate and affiliate marketing to crypto and product parties. But what changed the game for her was finally creating something tangible—something she could see, touch, and sell. That something turned out to be a yoga bag inspired by her daughter's journey with scoliosis and a newfound love of yoga. Even though Jennifer doesn't practice yoga herself, she leaned in, did the research, and made it happen. We talk about the mindset shifts that helped her move past burnout and into aligned action—like why taking a break might be exactly what you need, and how trusting your gut (even when it goes against the crowd) can lead to major growth. Jennifer shares how she used Amazon reviews to build her first product, and how she's now refining it with real-time customer feedback. She's sold over $100,000 worth of just one product—and she's still optimizing before expanding. If you've ever felt like you're doing this whole thing alone, or wondered if it's too late to try something new, Jennifer's story is exactly the encouragement you need. She proves that with focus, resourcefulness, and the right community, anything is possible.

This combination will occur between March 29, 2025 - May 29, 2025 according to the True Node system. This combination does not get that great of a reputation... for good reason! The Boston Marathon Bomber, Iraq War, assassinations - it carries a lot of heaviness, weight, anxiety, and fear. Some consider it Pishach Yoga, which refers to a demonic energy or malevolent spirit. In this segment, we explore the combination practically while also offering helpful insight into WHY it may not play out so terribly on a personal level. (I've seen many opportunities as well!)Learn more about what to expect to navigate these few months gracefully.

Opening Paragraph In this solo episode, Amy Wheeler invites listeners into a conversation about the intersection of childhood religion and the lifelong path of yoga therapy. What happens when the grace-filled teachings of Lutheran Christianity (insert your belief structure here) meet the depth and systematization of Indian philosophy? Can we honor both? Amy explores her own journey—from growing up in a progressive Christian household to becoming a devoted student and teacher of Yoga—unpacking how these spiritual lineages can coexist with humility, respect, and a shared intention to reduce suffering. This episode encourages us all to ask: Can different belief systems lead us toward the same inner peace? And more importantly, can we stay grounded in ethical yoga practice while honoring both source and seeker?In This Episode, Amy Discusses:Her upbringing as a Lutheran minister's daughter and how values like grace, compassion, and service shaped her early views on faith and spirituality.The transformative moment of discovering Yoga philosophy, particularly the structure and clarity of Patañjali's Yoga Sūtra and the Bhagavad Gītā.Navigating cultural appreciation vs. cultural appropriation—especially as a Western Yoga Therapist working with ancient Indian teachings.Can someone be a Yoga Therapist and maintain their original religious identity? Amy dives into the conversation about pluralism, integrity, and therapeutic intention.Iśvara as a formless universal presence, and whether one's version of “God,” “Allah,” “Jesus,” or “Buddha” can reflect the same sattvic qualities in a yoga-based healing context.Amy reminds us that being a yoga therapist is not about spiritual perfection or ideological purity—it's about long-term dedication to learning, humility, and reducing human suffering. Whether your spiritual background includes religion, atheism, or a mix of philosophies, the invitation is to stay with the practice, keep questioning, and deepen your connection to the wholeness of yoga without abandoning your roots. As she says, “Maybe the real question is whether what you believe is helping you be a better, kinder human being.” Amy Wheeler's Contact Info: Website: www.TheOptimalState.com Email: amy@amywheeler.com Instagram: @optimalstate YouTube: Optimal State with Amy Wheeler LinkedIn: Amy Wheeler PhDInterested in Studying Yoga Therapy or Ayurveda?Master of Science in Yoga Therapy at Maryland University of Integrative Health A rigorous, accredited program rooted in both ancient wisdom and modern integrative health. https://muih.edu/academics/yoga-therapy/master-of-science-in-yoga-therapy/Therapeutic Yoga for Licensed Health Care Providers (LHCPs) Learn how to ethically and effectively integrate yoga into your existing healthcare profession. https://muih.edu/academics/yoga-therapy/post-masters-certificate-in-therapeutic-yoga-practices/Integrative Ayurvedic Wellness Program Study the sister science to yoga through the lens of modern wellness, offering tools for nutrition,

Loss comes for everyone—but the Bhakti yogi faces it not with fear, but with training, trust, and transcendence. In this powerful episode, Raghunath and Kaustubha unpack how the wisdom of the Śrīmad Bhāgavatam prepares us for the moments that shake our identity, strip our attachments, and invite us into deeper surrender. From philosophical insight to real-life stories, they reveal how detachment isn't cold or passive—it's the soul's doorway to freedom. Key Highlights: * “Train yourself to let go of everything you fear to lose.” — Yoda (Bhakti approves.) * Why loss is not punishment—but a spiritual upgrade in disguise. * Chest-waxing and ego-stripping: a painful but necessary metaphor for spiritual growth. * The man who thought his wealth could buy him a free pass at the barber shop—and what that reveals about false identity. * What it means to live as if nothing is yours, and love as if everything is. * The yogi's mindset: clarity in chaos, faith in the face of death.
