At a Darshan in 2015, Sadhguru offered a Yogic perspective on time-space, and explained why one cannot manage time but one can manage one's energy.

In a powerful and thought-provoking talk delivered in Sydney, Australia, Acharya das explores the dramatic transformation of human consciousness in the modern age and asks a confronting question: Why, despite unprecedented technological advancement and material comfort, are so many people experiencing anxiety, emptiness, and hopelessness? Drawing on alarming statistics surrounding depression, mental health crises, and the growing despair among younger generations, he presents a compelling analysis of a society that has become increasingly disconnected from inner peace and spiritual purpose.Acharya das examines the profound psychological impact of modern technology, social media, and smartphone culture, revealing how people are not only consumers in the digital economy — but have themselves become the product. He explains how algorithms, data collection, and constant stimulation shape human behavior, fuel dissatisfaction, and intensify mental disturbance. He further critiques the institutionalization of greed and envy within modern economic systems, arguing that many societies actively cultivate endless consumption and comparison as drivers of economic growth, often at great cost to human wellbeing.Contrasting this modern condition with the timeless wisdom of the Bhagavad-gītā, Acharya das offers a deeply hopeful alternative vision of life. He explains the yogic understanding that true peace does not arise from endlessly pursuing material desires, but from awakening spiritual consciousness and recognizing our deeper identity beyond the temporary body and restless mind. Using profound spiritual insights and practical guidance, he concludes by presenting meditation and mantra chanting as transformative daily practices capable of restoring clarity, balance, and genuine inner peace.This illuminating presentation challenges conventional assumptions about happiness and progress while offering practical spiritual wisdom for anyone seeking meaning, resilience, and lasting peace in an increasingly restless world.Chapters 00:00:00 Introduction: The Unprecedented Transformation of Human Consciousness ‎ 00:03:58 The Smartphone Revolution and Loss of Human Connection ‎ 00:06:15 The Economic Value of Peace and Generational Despair ‎ 00:10:25 Misconceptions About Peace as a Commodity ‎ 00:14:19 The Surveillance and Exploitation of Smartphone Users ‎ 00:18:52 The Scale of Digital Advertising and Tech Company Revenue ‎ 00:20:56 The Rise of Self-Centeredness and the Selfie Culture ‎ 00:26:31 Historical Analysis: The Century of Self-Centeredness ‎ 00:30:34 The Origins of Consumer Culture and Propaganda ‎ 00:35:28 The Deliberate Shift from Needs to Desires Culture ‎ 00:39:21 Economic Theory Promoting Envy and Greed ‎ 00:41:40 Economic Critique and the Seeds of Destruction ‎ 00:43:44 The Promise of Happiness Through Consumption ‎ 00:46:58 The Influencer Economy and Children's Aspirations ‎ 00:48:45 Ancient Yogic Wisdom: The Alternative Perspective ‎ 00:52:52 The Necessity of Transcendental Connection ‎ 00:54:38 The Fundamental Spiritual Principle‎ 00:57:07 The Illusion of Physical Identity ‎ 00:58:58 The Reality of Mortality and Spiritual Identity ‎ 01:00:39 Spiritual Nutrition and Meditation Practice ‎ 01:03:19 Conclusion: The Path to Genuine Peace

There are two ways to be experiencing yogic bliss: from the outside — looking inward, or from the inside — looking outward. When you do some spinal release poses, or Ujjayi Pranayama, mantra, chanting, any of the practices we do, when you've gotten lost in the world again outside yourself, you do these practices and now, you're looking inward. Any of these practices settle you inward. And the deeper you go, the more bliss you experience. And then deeper, beyond your senses, beyond your mind, beyond your idea of who you are. All the way in, to your own Self. Oh, Shiva. — Gurudevi Nirmalananda   Watch Gurudevi's full discourse “Inner Bliss" here: https://gurudevi.vhx.tv/products/inner-bliss-5-10-26   #meditate #meditation #gurudevi #yogamysticism #spirituality #divine #yoga #swaminirmalananda #blissyoga #svaroopayoga #siddhayoga #muktananda #gurudevinirmalananda

In the West, meditation is often presented as a wellness tool: a way to reduce stress, calm the nervous system, balance hormones, or improve focus. While these can be beautiful outcomes, they are only side effects, not the true purpose.In the great Vedic and Yogic traditions, meditation was never meant simply to make us feel better — it was meant to wake us up.Meditation is not designed to make us comfortable.It is designed to make us conscious.In this teaching, I share a deeper understanding of meditation through the lens of lineage, direct experience, and spiritual practice — exploring the journey from the conditioned self to the infinite Self, from restless mind to the Divine within.Website: http://www.pureishvari.com Instagram: http://instagram.com/pureishvari Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/pureishvari Linktree: https://linktr.ee/pureishvari

Niv breaks down the ancient Yogic concept the FIVE BODIES. How our existence as an individual entity can be categorized into five sheaths or energy bodies known as koshas, each more subtle than the other. And how and why your highest experience of radiance, creativity and health can only be achieved through knowing, purifying and harmonizing all five of these bodies.To summarize: The first layer is known as Annamaya kosha, the physical sheath, made up of food. The second is Pranamaya kosha, the vital energy sheath, forming a fine network through which prana flows. The third is Manomaya kosha, the mental sheath, which is a more concentrated and subtle form of energy that surrounds the Pranamaya kosha. The fourth is Vijnanamaya kosha, the intuitive sheath, an extremely rarefied field of energy, which is closer to spirit than to matter, surrounding the mental sheath. The fifth is Anandamaya kosha, the sheath of bliss, where prana-shakti is united with your supreme self.Ayurveda, Yoga and Tantra contain practices that help work with all your levels of existence, on all five planes, in all five bodies.

Revered Dr. Swami Bhajanananda Saraswati continues his series on the Principles of Bhakti Yoga, reading from the teachings of Kapila Muni in the Srimad Bhagavatam, Skanda 3, Discourse 28 (translation by Swami Bhajanananda): 1. śrī-bhagavān uvāca yogasya lakṣaṇaṁ vakṣye sabījasya nṛpātmaje mano yenaiva vidhinā prasannaṁ yāti sat-patham  The Blessed Lord said: "O princess, I shall describe the authorized system of yoga, by the practice of which one's mind becomes joyful and advances on the path of Truth." 2. sva-dharmācaraṇaṁ śaktyā vidharmāc ca nivartanam daivāl labdhena santoṣa ātmavic-caraṇārcanam "One must perform one's dharma with all one's strength and avoided prohibited actions. One should be satisfied with what one has through destiny  and worship the lotus feet of the Self-realized." 3. grāmya-dharma-nivṛttiś ca mokṣa-dharma-ratis tathā mita-medhyādanaṁ śaśvad vivikta-kṣema-sevanam "Giving up worldly activities one should then develop a taste for activates that lead to liberation. One should always eat pure food in moderation and stay in a secluded and peaceful dwelling." 4. ahiṁsā satyam asteyaṁ  yāvad-artha-parigrahaḥ brahmacaryaṁ tapaḥ śaucaṁ svādhyāyaḥ puruṣārcanam "One should practice nonviolence, truthfulness, non-stealing, possessing only what is necessary, celibacy, austerity, cleanliness, self-study, and worship of the Supreme Person." 5. maunaṁ sad-āsana-jayaḥ sthairyaṁ prāṇa-jayaḥ śanaiḥ pratyāhāraś cendriyāṇāṁ viṣayān manasā hṛdi "One should practice silence, attain mastery of a proper and steady posture, control the breath/prana, gradually withdraw the senses from sense-objects, and focus the mind on the heart." 6. sva-dhiṣṇyānām eka-deśe manasā prāṇa-dhāraṇam vaikuṇṭha-līlābhidhyānaṁ samādhānaṁ tathātmanaḥ "One should fix the mind and prana  in one place in a chakra in the body and meditate upon the pastimes of Lord of Vaikunta and thus become absorbed in the self." 7. etair anyaiś ca pathibhir mano duṣṭam asat-patham buddhyā yuñjīta śanakair jita-prāṇo hy atandritaḥ "By these and other ways  this wicked mind on the path of illusion must be gradually controlled by the intelligence and one's prana should be carefully focused." 8. śucau deśe pratiṣṭhāpya vijitāsana āsanam tasmin svasti samāsīna ṛju-kāyaḥ samabhyaset "Spreading a proper seat in a pure place and sitting in an easy posture, with body erect , engage in practice." 9. prāṇasya śodhayen mārgaṁ pūra-kumbhaka-recakaiḥ pratikūlena vā cittaṁ yathā sthiram acañcalam "One should purify the passages of prana by inhaling, retaining and exhaling and then reversing the process , thus making the mind-stuff (cittam yathā) steady and unwavering." 10. mano 'cirāt syād virajaṁ jita-śvāsasya yoginaḥ vāyv-agnibhyāṁ yathā lohaṁ dhmātaṁ tyajati vai malam "When a yogi's breath is thus controlled then the mind is soon freed from disturbance, just like gold in an air-fanned fire becomes free of impurities." 11. prāṇāyāmair dahed doṣān dhāraṇābhiś ca kilbiṣān pratyāhāreṇa saṁsargān dhyānenānīśvarān guṇān "Through pranayama, one overcomes faults; by concentration, sins; by withdrawal of the mind, worldliness; and by meditation, ungodly qualities." 12. yadā manaḥ svaḿ virajaḿ yogena susamāhitam kāṣṭhāḿ bhagavato dhyāyet sva-nāsāgrāvalokanaḥ "When one's mind is purified by yoga, gazing at the tip of the nose, with full concentration one should meditate upon the Supreme Lord." ____________ 34. evaḿ harau bhagavati pratilabdha-bhāvo bhaktyā dravad-dhṛdaya utpulakaḥ pramodāt autkaṇṭhya-bāṣpa-kalayā muhur ardyamānas tac cāpi citta-baḍiśaḿ śanakair viyuńkte T"hus one will develop intense love for Bhagavan Hari, the heart will melt, hairs stand erect from excessive joy and tears will flow constantly from one's eyes due to longing .

#401 In this episode, Guy talked with Julian Polzin, a former psychotherapist turned spiritual teacher, and shared his profound awakening experience that began while grieving on a graveyard bench in Germany, leading to a complete dissolution of ego and entry into samadhi.  Through deep meditation practices, he began remembering hundreds of past lives as a Buddhist monk and yogi, receiving downloads of ancient yogic systems and experiencing visions of Atlantis and its fall due to spiritual corruption and transhumanist technology. He explained how dark entities on the astral plane compete for human souls by offering temptations that disconnect people from divine will, and how the Buddhist system was designed to counteract the Atlantean karma of the hyperactive intellect separated from God. Julian warned that humanity is repeating the Atlantean pattern with AI, transhumanism, and recent technological interventions that disconnect individuals from divine current, leading to a timeline split between those who surrender to God and those who fall into ego gratification. Now based in Peru's Sacred Valley, he works to build a monastery and teaches proper spiritual discernment, emphasizing that true liberation requires total surrender, renunciation of worldly attachments, and the guidance of a genuine teacher assigned by divine will. About Julian: Julian practices and teaches Zen-Buddhist methods in combination with the Yogic realization process and various other mystical practices. On his spiritual path he opened himself to mystical insight. He experienced realization beyond physical experience which changed his therapeutic approach.  In 2021 he traveled to Nepal to meditate in holy places to experience the land, ancient energies and intelligences of a non-material nature. He practiced psychotherapy in Germany for seven years, but moved on from the method after experiencing the limitations of the psychotherapeutic framework.  Now he focusses on sharing spiritual teachings of direct inquiry to assist his clients in realizing themselves through the mystical experience.

This week's podcast guest Filip Holm has a master's degree in Comparative religion and has studied the topic extensively for many years. He brings that experience to Let's Talk Religion to provide a reliable source of information about religion, history & philosophy. Let's Talk Religion is one of the most popular educational Youtube channels and podcasts in the world. Exploring topics ranging from the major religions of the world to small, relatively unknown schools of thought, philosophers and mystics, Filip brings academic rigour and methodology to a topic that is often very oversimplified and misrepresented through entertaining and well produced content.In this episode we cover the following topics:Mystical experiences – definitionMystical path of SufismSufi MysticsSufi music – Samaa (listening)Ecstatic statesFanaa (annihilation)Sufi manualsRitualised Dhikr – remembrance through recitation of Divine namesSama – meditation through musicSeclusion – fasting, meditation and dhikr for 40 daysSynergies with Yogic traditions99 names of GodVisit Filip:Let's Talk Religion: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC9dRb4fbJQIbQ3KHJZF_z0ghttps://www.instagram.com/itsfilipholm/https://itsfilipholm.com/My Law of Positivism Healing Oracle Card Deck:https://www.lawofpositivism.com/healingoracle.htmlMy book The Law of Positivism – Live a life of higher vibrations, love and gratitude:https://www.lawofpositivism.com/book.html My readings and healing sessions:https://www.lawofpositivism.com/offerings.htmlVisit Law of Positivism:https://www.instagram.com/lawofpositivism/Website: https://www.lawofpositivism.com/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/lawofpositivism/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/lawofpositivism

This episode is brought to you by Fatty15, WHOOP and Timeline. Dr. Patrick Porter, PhD joins us today to break down what brain fitness really means and why modern life is overwhelming a biological system that was never designed for today's pace. Dr. Porter explains how brain energy, neuroplasticity, breathwork, mitochondria, sleep architecture, stress physiology, light exposure, and daily rituals all influence our ability to think clearly, recover deeply, and perform at a high level. We explore the science behind neurogenesis, the glymphatic system, alpha and delta brainwave states, the impact of sugar and artificial sweeteners on cognitive decline, how breathing and light frequencies regulate the nervous system, and why most people are unknowingly compromising their sleep, metabolism, and cognitive output. Packed with actionable tools—from box breathing and SMR training to healthier morning routines, supplements, and digital hygiene—this episode is a masterclass on how to build a sharper brain and age better.

When cramming facts hits a ceiling, yogic practice opens the window. In this conversation, Raghunath and Kaustubha explore how Einstein's relativity and Vedic ideas of time echo a truth from the Bhagavad Gītā—that spiritual realization isn't conquered by intellect but received through receptivity. Drawing on the Gītā, the Yoga Sutras, and insights from Terryl Givens, they unpack the yogic disciplines that transform perception: humility, sattva, service, and devotion. The episode bridges science and spirituality to show how the mind studies, but the heart sees. ********************************************************************* LOVE THE PODCAST?
