Transformative Yoga Practices from Physical Healing to Spiritual Inspiration


Listen Later

In this episode of the Finding Harmony podcast, Harmony Slater and Russell Case sit down with Ganesh Balachandran, an electrical engineer turned enlightened sage. Ganesh shares his profound journey from engineering to deeply exploring ancient spiritual texts such as the Bhagavad Gita and the Upanishads. After a hip injury led him to meditation, Ganesh rediscovered his cultural roots and began integrating these spiritual teachings into his daily life. This episode is rich with philosophical insights and practical wisdom, making it a treasure trove for anyone interested in the deeper aspects of yoga and Vedanta.

Key Topics Discussed:

  • Ganesh's transition from engineering to spiritual exploration
  • The intersection of Advaita Vedanta and yoga philosophy
  • The significance of Ishvara in Yoga Sutras and Sankhya philosophy
  • Karma and its impact on life circumstances
  • The concept of subtle body (Sukshma Shariram) and its relation to karma
  • Understanding Dharma, Artha, Kama, and Moksha
  • The importance of lineage (Parampara) in Indian philosophy
