Harnam is a yogi, musician, and artist and we met to discuss a wide range of topics.

We talk about the state of kundalini yoga today, what possibly went wrong and what's the future for our practice.

Harnam introduces us to Bound Lotus, powerful practice to center yourself in your heart.

Harnam's new song is called "Time is now" and you can get it anywhere the music is streamed.

I hope you enjoy Harnam's heart-centered spirit and wisdom.

Tao Te Ching is the most translated book ever after the Bible. It was written roughly 2500 years ago by Lao Tzu.

In this episode, I look at the first 27 verses focusing on 3 main themes of the tao: Metaphysics, Dialectics, and Governance or practical knowledge.

Listening to the Tao Te Ching can easily serve as a mantra, a mind vibration, that helps you to release stress from overly analytical daily diatribes and instead, help you vibrate with the everlasting Tao.

I hope you enjoy the mind-opening, expansive, poetic, and contradictory world of the Tao.

This is part 1 of 3

Enjoy

In this final episode of Bhagavad Gita Krishna teaches how the supreme self lives within the creation. He goes into detail about the 3 gunas and how are they personified in people. We will learn what makes people have demonic tendencies and finally, set concrete examples for renunciation and selfless service.

In the latest episode of Bhagavad Gita, we meet Krishna's dark side. We also learn about the Royal path to yoga and most interestingly, Krishna shares the secret to immortality.

I mention two great scientists one is Robert Oppenheimer who was reminded of Krishna's words from the Bhagavad Gita at the first test of a nuclear weapon. The other scientist is Neil deGrasse Tyson who famously does not see evidence of god anywhere.

In this section (Chapter 4,5,6,7,8) of the Bhagavad Gita, Arjuna comes up with great questions. He wants to know what is the best action humans can devote their time to, we are going to learn how to meditate straight from the Lord of the Universe and we will even find out what state of mind you should be in when you are dying and much much more. So let's take a look.

Welcome to the first-ever Sadhana and Books episode. This is the first out of four episodes about the Bhagavad Gita. We will talk about the background of this text and take a close look at the first three chapters. 1. The War Within, 2. Self-Realization, 3. Selfless Service.

Studying the wisdom of the Gita has been transformational for me and I hope you will find some deeply resonating truths in it as well.
