This episode of the Soma Collective podcast is a blast from the past conversation Gary had with Thom Knoles a few years ago at the Bondi Pavillion. Thom first learned meditation in the 60's with Maharishi who is the guru which popularised Vedic Meditation to the west. For over 40 years, Thom has personally taught meditation, Vedic philosophy, and applied spirituality to over 40,000 students worldwide. He is a celebrated speaker on cognitive sciences, on the relationship between quantum physics and human consciousness, and on the 5,000 year-old body of wisdom known as the Veda. Gary trained in Vedic Meditation and became a Master Teacher under the guidance of Thom 22 years ago. We hope you enjoy the chat with Thom Knoles.
