Thom's annual Australian tour is now underway and we'd love to invite you to participate.. We have a range of tour events scheduled, including free introductory talks and a learn to meditate course for those who are new to Vedic Meditation.
If you've completed a qualified Vedic Meditation course, we invite you to join Tom for knowledge sessions, group meditations and a one-day retreat he has scheduled in Sydney.
Thom is also offering a five-day four-night retreat in Gerringong, south of Sydney, as well as private mentoring sessions throughout the month.
You can find out more about all of these offerings at thomknoles.com/sydney. That's thomknoles.com/sydney.
Everything is always evolving thus, by definition, everything is always changing. Yet many of us resist change. We prefer the comfort of the status quo and get distressed when things meet their natural end.
The Vedic worldview however, recognizes all aspects of the evolutionary process, creation, maintenance and destruction, not reluctantly, but with reverence. So much so that each aspect is assigned its own deity, Brahma for creation, Vishnu for maintenance, and Shiva for destruction.
Understanding the role of all three, and the interdependence of all three, is essential to living a carefree, yet practical and evolutionary life.
In this episode Thom-ji ‘opens the discussion’ on creation, maintenance and destruction. He guides us to choose which one we might be an agent for, without prejudicing the work of the others.
This is fundamental Vedic wisdom that most modern schools of thought approach with resignation rather than embracing with the respect it deserves. Listen in or read the transcript below to get clues on how you can live a life well led.

[00:42] The Qualities of the Evolutionary Process
[02:55] Brahma - The Creation Operator
[06:58] Vishnu - The Maintenance Operator

[15:42] Vedic Meditation - The Gateway to Adaptability
[21:30] Faulty Perception + Inaccurate Expectations = Suffering
[25:30] Becoming an Agent For the Creation Operator

[32:22] Embrace the Unknown With Enthusiasm
