Welcome to Season 5 of The Philosophy of Now podcast!

This season we will take us all on a journey of contemplation, community and meditation - but through a unique path. Along with our deep conversations with some of the most inspiring and renowned minds, leaders, artists and thinkers, we will also be taking us all on a story of deep reflection. Through storytelling, moments of contemplation and of course the interview, we will be trying to dissect some of the most introspective and philosophical questions that comes as hurdles for all seekers on the spiritual path of life!

What is our dharma? Is curiosity always good for us? Why do we search for meaning in life? What does it mean to critically examine our belief systems? With our guests, we will seek to find the answers to these important questions and find the philosophy of now that can guide us this season.

So join us in this season of seeking and reflection - together! Tune in to the Philosophy of Now on Thursdays

This week, we revisit the episode with Sri M, the yogic master and founder of the Satsang Foundation. He speaks on the essence of yoga and how we can follow this DEEP philosophical tradition in the modern times - even if you're an atheist!

Sri M speaks on what success means to him and the spirit of spirituality that the modern youth should have. He also speaks on how we can assess the right gurus and what kind of moral compass to keep in our day to day lives, trying to be selfless.

In this week's Consistent Contemplation, we explore the practice of writing. Yes - literally writing with a physical pen and notepad or journal. We often disregard the act of sitting in our full presence and writing down our observations, reflections, and thoughts. This may be out of the bustle of doing it for daily tasks, fear, or even laziness, but the act itself is freeing. Let's find out how together!

We begin the episode by sharing a few insights from previous video episodes we have been releasing. Thereafter, we explore the value of recognizing our presence by engaging in a guided practice within the nature and environment around us. Stay tuned, as throughout the summer, we have been releasing previous episodes on our YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@ThePhilosophyofNow. Join us, as we reflect and meditate together in this sanctuary!

In this week's Consistent Contemplation, we explore the meaning of the word, 'Essence'. We use that word lightly to mean so many things, but by definition, it allows us to consider something's nature. This episode is an inspired practice from the last few episodes. In fact, it is an extrapolation of our LIVE event with Swami Sarvapriyananda! Check that out here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JJBgUmYk1cs

Before we begin a new season, we bring to you our reflections and a practice from the previous season of guests. We begin by highlighting the event and learnings from that discussion. Secondly, we discuss our thoughts on the 'essence of things' and how this attachment can often cause our anxiety. We do a practice together exploring the nature of things in front of us - literally. We conclude the episode by previewing the summer! Join us as we reflect and meditate together in this sanctuary!
