The Vedic Conversation episodes

  • What is spirituality?

    Welcome to this week's episode of The Vedic Conversation, hosted by Vedic Meditation teachers Rory Kinsella, Derrick Yanford and Anthony Thompson.

    In this episode, which is the last one of season 3, we’re revisiting one of the most interesting parts of the discussion from a couple of weeks ago. This week we’re delving into the question: What is spirituality?

    What does the word mean? Do we consider what we do as spiritual? How do spirituality and religion relate? 

    So sit back and enjoy the discussion.

  • Is Vedic Meditation a cult? And other important questions

    Welcome to this week's episode of The Vedic Conversation, hosted by Vedic Meditation teachers Rory Kinsella, Derrick Yanford and Anthony Thompson.

    In this episode, we’re mixing things up a bit and are asking each other some burning questions that have been on our minds. 

    So sit back and enjoy listening as Derrick asks Anthony what he considers his greatest life achievement, then see how I struggle to answer when Anthony asks me about my creative role models and I quiz Derrick about his biggest doubts about meditation. This was a particularly interesting part of the conversation and led into a fascinating discussion about cults and whether Vedic Meditation is a cult.
