Episodes

  • In this episode of the Gita Insights, Anand Ji explores another rich pearl of wisdom from the Bhagavad Gita. We say we only honour worthy inquiry; we should only teach or share insights when asked. In the Gita we have Arjuna declaring to Krishna, “I am your shishya.” A shishya is a student with a very deep inner commitment. This is the highest kind of a student.

    All that we value and all that we really seek in life is found at a greater depth of being. In the Gita, this wisdom is shared by Krishna with Arjuna because he is a true shishya. Enliven that shishya nature in yourself and realise life-transformative wisdom.

  • In this first episode of the Gita Insights series, Anand reminds us that we are listeners and students of the wisdom that Krishna shares in the Bhagavad Gita. The same wisdom is being offered to those who are listening and yet it has different effects on them, because every listener listens from his or her own consciousness state. Arjuna fully awakens and gets enlivened, while Dhritarashtra is left with deep disillusionment. Within each and every one of us, there is Arjuna, the spiritual warrior, the atman, who is here to discover the shining jewel of truth. Will you align with your own Arjuna nature and lean in the direction of growth?

This meditation takes us to the silence within for an experience and reshaping of the Self as creator of self. What self are you calling upon at this moment?

  • This episode launches our new series, Contemplation Meditation Sessions. We begin with a livestream aired on Sattva Connect 26th of November 2023.

    On the surface of life, there is seeming separation, boundaries, but when you go deeper you realise the underlying unity that is our reality. And when you perceive this unity, you experience immense kindness and compassion; you begin to treat the other as yourself. Then our world becomes a much more loving place. Here is only limited by the boundaries of our perception. So expand those boundaries now!

  • Moving on with The Inquiry Sessions, this episode sees Bajrang, Sattva Master Teacher, Jyoti and founder of Sattva California, joining the sessions to pose the question on one of the fundamental aspects of living in community. How do we cultivate it? The discussion opens up with the knowledge that community is a concept and moves into the realisation of the individual as the whole. This brings awareness to the self and to one’s projection and personal responsibility within all aspects of relating.

  • In this episode we continue with the Part 2 of the discussion on addiction and recovery with Tommy Rosen, Founder of Recovery 2.0 and the podcast “In The Circle.” In The first part brings up the discussion on power, empowerment and its role in addiction, how the Yog-Vedantic knowledge has keys to open our connection to authentic power by accessing a higher source within and without.

    Building on that concept, the knowledge flows to greater understanding of developing a relationship with the Divine and the choice for a better self-orientation with life.

    As that relationship evolves, we develop greater connection to community, creating a heathier society that celebrates celebrates each one moving into greater unity as an individual and as the whole.

  • In this episode, Tommy Rosen of Recovery 2.0 and the “In The Circle”podcast joins Anand to discuss the poignant topic of addiction and recovery through the Yog-Vedantic approach. Here in part 1, Tommy’s questioning begins with the origins and structure of modern-day recovery and the current lens in which it operates. Their discussion then moves to the structure of leadership, learning to bring evolution from the Vedantic perspective, and gaining access to the field of knowledge.

    We learn about understanding addiction from a broader point of view, as a part of the human condition and the identification of being an addict. We gain further knowledge by working to expand on the concepts of self-forgetfulness created in time and bring to light the innate quest for bliss and connection that is the drive of the human experience.

  • Join us as we continue with The Inquiry Sessions. In this episode, Sattva Master Teacher Simon Keenan converses with Anand, exploring the art of sacred pilgrimage. Simon has lived on the famous pilgrimage path, the Camino de Santiago, serving for 10 years. There he has accompanied and shared the Sattva teachings with pilgrims on their journeys. Anand brings light to the aspect of synchronicity which is often amplified and more commonly experienced on sacred pilgrimage. Whilst in the context of seeking God, Anand explores the difference between believing in God and experiencing God.

    One of the biggest challenges pilgrims face is returning home and integrating their experiences. In a deep sharing, Anand explains the importance of taking time to transition mindfully and of how to keep the learnings alive, especially when one has journeyed through a transformational, enlivening experience. This is also one of the key focuses of Simon's project, Wisdom of the Way (@wisdomoftheway_).

    This is a unique and beautiful opportunity to deepen one's understanding of pilgrimage as a journey through life, where the big outer journeys really become the vehicles for the big inner journey. We are encouraged to step into the unknown, to accept the invitations and to meet the challenges which take us to new places within.

  • Welcome to the first in this series of interviews with Sattva Master Teachers. Over these next episodes, Anand Ji is joined by Sattva Master Teachers in their inquiry to expand the field of knowledge in their respective fields of interest. Taking us into new depths of understanding for an integrated approach to evolution while exploring the Yog-Vedantic Tradition.

    In this episode, Sattva Master Teacher Geoff Rupp from Find Your Calm joins Anand Ji to find greater understanding and the unraveling of the intricate fabric of spiritual wisdom, traditions, and practices. Their conversation explores the difference between tradition and lineage and how this is orientated in the revered Shankaracharya tradition.

    Anand Ji also discusses whether an integrated spiritual practice, incorporating elements like Yoga, Meditation and Kirtan, can enrich your journey or dilute the essence of each path. We also learn how to discern authenticity in spiritual teachings amidst teachers claiming to be the only way in the digital noise of the world today. Then he delves into the contentious subject of cultural appropriation in the age of global spiritual awakening.

  • This Episode taken from a Sattva Connect live stream, Anand takes us into deeper understanding for cultivating a better mind.

    When the mind is being informed by Atman (the soul), the quality of the mind is that of pristine clarity, peacefulness, connected to source intelligence. Otherwise, you’ll experience a distracted mind, dominated by negative emotions, filled with craving and aversion, fear and desire (Ahamkara or Ego). So, don’t let your mind become an architect of misery. Plant the seeds of the Banyan tree. Be the master of your mind. Stay open to source intelligence!

  • "What you experience right now, it is totally contingent on your own deserving power, your whole life is an extension of that"

    The understanding of this great law of nature can alter completely your life.

    So take a moment to dive into this new episode from a state of deep presence, stable mind and an open heart.

    As we explored in previous episodes, what level of consciousness you most consistently maintain become your experience of yourself and so life.

    Here we refine the understanding through the concept of deserving power.

    What you most consistently engage in, what state of consciousness you most consistently maintain you become capable of receiving that value in your life.

    If you want to raise your deserving power you have to consistently engage in the new expression of you, not from thoughts, but from your state, alter your state consistently and universe will start to organise around this new frequency.

    Deserving power is directly proportional to your staying power.

    Life can only be the way you are, cannot be any other way!!

    When you realise that you start to work on that, consistently show in that way, creating and meeting your future making your vision possible.

  • This episode is a gem for practitioners on the path of evolution.

    To understand that the state of Yog is not at the end of the arrow, the state of yoga is now.

    Do not use your practice as another waiting room to get the state.

    Become mature practitioners instead of just chasers.

    Mature practitioners know that you can only arrive to the state now and this requires willingness and radical responsibility.

    We closed the last episode with a transformative question: What can I be aware of that can alter my consciousness state right now?

    So are you aware of your state?

  • Cosmic consciousness.

    The field from where all forms of consciousness emerge.

    Take a moment to dive deeper into your understanding of the fundamental base of existence. The meaning of life is to evolve and evolution at the core base is to gain greater cosmic consciousness, the finite value of consciousness gaining the value of its own capacity.

    Embrace this knowledge from your heart which is the seat of cosmic consciousness and have a glimpse of our own eternal nature.

    Brahmanda Rupa the cosmic form which is formless, the potential of all forms, the formless that collapses in form.

    Cosmic nature is the infinite potential of all life, a formless field that holds infinity within itself, it's intangible and accessible by every consciousness species.

    So learn to access the field of cosmic consciousness.
