Radiance…what is it really? You know it when you see it, but where does it come from? Is it something that some people just have, and some people don’t?

In this podcast, taken from a Dharma Talk at a recent in-person class, Jai Dev describes the underlying structures of human radiance, and unpacks how it is generated by genuine compassion and heightened awareness. 

You can also expect to learn about:

• The 4th state of awakened consciousness - Turiya
• Accepting the reality of death
• Accessing a deeper vitality & tapping into your flow states

This episode is an exploration of South Asian metaphysics, which might sound lofty or complicated, but it’s presented in a way that is totally down to Earth and useful to you in your life right now.

This is Jai Dev at his best! Be sure to carve out the time to tune into this episode of the Jai Dev Show.

Pure Energy, Pure Intelligence, and Pure Love. The three innate qualities of life that emanate from the very nucleus of our being out into all our cells, organs, thoughts, and behaviors. Taken from a live class at Elixart in Nevada City, Jai Dev delivers an especially lucid dharma talk on life and the nature of reality. 

When we are able to understand and respect ultimate reality, we can come to appreciate everything in life, including our greatest heartbreak and suffering, as truly precious and valuable.

This week, Jai Dev sits down with comedian, co-host of There Comes a Time podcast, and fellow Deadhead, the very funny Mike Finoia.

 

The theme of this week’s conversation is most definitely resilience. Looking back on his career, Mike points out that the times that he has bombed or fallen on his face the hardest, ended up being the most crucial, wisdom-imparting moments that would most influence the trajectory of his life.

 

With a comedian on the pod, you already know that this is going to be an especially funny episode – but also, extremely insightful. The alignments between performing stand-up comedy and teaching dharma practices are truly profound: both occupations involve creatively leading your audience to a discovery of truth within themselves.

 

Listening to these two maestros of their craft describe their creative processes is an illuminating experience…this episode is not to be missed!

When a couple of Jai Dev’s Manifesting-Generator employees told him that we have too many Projectors on the team, he knew that he needed to learn more about Human Design. Erin Claire Jones, Human Design Guide and Leadership Coach, joins us on podcast to elucidate this profound and newly popular cartography of the spiritual structure of the human being.  

Combining Astrology, Kabbalah, and the I Ching, Human Design offers us a new way of looking at the ways in which we tend to make decisions. Erin uses this system to empower her clients to not only better tune in with the natural way their energy flows, but also to understand that the decision-making tendencies and strategies that work for us, might not work for everyone else in our personal and professional lives. Knowing our own spiritual architecture, and the spiritual architecture of those around us, is a recipe for compassion.

Through the stories she tells, Kamla Kapur breathes life into the legends of great mystics and the poetry of saints. I first encountered her work some years ago through reading her wonderful book, The Singing Guru. Here, she beautifully reimagines the tales of the great North Indian saint, and first Guru of the Sikhs, Baba Nanak. 

I must say, listening to her speak is as lovely as reading her evocative style of storytelling!  In this episode of the podcast, we discuss her work, the transcendent legacy of Guru Nanak, and the beautiful Sikh spirit which blossomed forth from his life.

Kamla Kapur is an author, playwright, and poet with multiple critically acclaimed books published in the USA and India. To learn more, visit her website at https://www.kamlakkapur.com/

Robert Thurman, who we affectionately call Tenzin Bob, is simply a treasure. Time Magazine aptly described him as a "larger than life scholar-activist destined to convey the Dharma, the precious teachings of Shakyamuni Buddha, from Asia to America.”

Bob's life story is extraordinary and in this episode of the podcast, he takes us through many of its amazing stories. This two-hour episode is filled with gems of wisdom, hilarious moments, and the unique stream of wisdom that flows through him like a vital spring!

Bob is one of the world's leading scholars and translators of Tibetan Buddhism. In 1962 he was the first Westerner to be ordained by his Holiness the Dalai Lama. In 1997 Bob was named one of Time Magazine’s 25 Most Influential Americans.  He co-founded Tibet House US with Tenzin Tethong, Richard Gere, and Philip Glass, a non-profit organization based in New York City and dedicated to the preservation and renaissance of Tibetan culture.

Inspired by his longtime good friend His Holiness the Dalai Lama, Bob takes us along with him into an expanded vision of the world through the prism of Tibetan Buddhism. He shares with us the sense of refuge in the Dharma, which unfailingly helps us clear away the shrouds of fear and confusion, sustains us with the cheerfulness of an enriched present, and opens a door to a path of realistic hope for a peaceful, kind, and wise future.

This special episode is sponsored by Envision 2021. A very special New Year's Virtual Retreat produced by Menla, and a benefit for Tibet House US. Featuring an incredible lineup of teachers and musicians, including Robert Thurman, Nena Thurman, Sharon Salzberg, Krishna Das, Jai Dev, Simrit, and many more!

Wasfia Nazreen is a powerhouse. Her story is anything but ordinary, and life-accomplishments already the stuff of legends. I had such a great time chatting with Wasfia on this podcast and our two-hour conversation takes you on a journey through the peaks and valleys of her amazing life (which I sense is only getting started!).  Wasfia is a human-rights activist, educator, mountaineer, and so much more. As a visionary campaign to celebrate and uplift the women of her native country, Bangladesh, Wasfia became the first Bangladeshi, and first Bengali, to climb the Seven Summits - aka the highest mountains of every continent!  She is the ONLY woman to be named both a National Geographic Explorer & Adventurer.  Her passion has always been driven by causes close to her heart — all of which are grounded in a strong foundation of meditation and self-realization practices. She has been blessed to learn from and become close friends with some of the greatest spiritual teachers on the planet, including His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama, and His Holiness the 17th Karmapa.  Listen in on a fascinating life story, from childhood abandonment trauma that led not to despair but instead to a life built on fierce independence, drive, and loving compassion. Forging her own path far away from the arranged marriages and status quo for women in her country, Wasfia chose instead to look fear square in the eye, to fall asleep to the lullaby of avalanches, and to keep climbing. "That mountain gives you an excuse to give up every day," she says of Everest. Thankfully for us, she did no such thing.  Visit Wasfia's official website here and definitely watch the epic short documentary, 'Wasfia', produced by Apple, Inc. and presented by National Geographic.  fb.com/WasfiaNazreen IG: @wasfianazreen  Twitter: @wasfia
