A frail child, who was often in and out of hospitals, Prasad’s Yoga Asana journey started at the age of nine when his mother admitted him to a month long Yoga training to improve his health. He has had the blessing of studying under many accomplished Yogic masters but those who have left a deep impact on his life are Tatambari Avadhoot, Baba Bhola Nath, Nari Nath and his Satguru, Shri Swami Samartha Maharaj.

Prasad’s holistic approach to Yoga has helped thousands across the world in over 15 countries, and he has personally mentored over 200 Yoga teachers till date.
In this episode, Prasad narrates his own experience with yoga and silence.

He emphasises the importance of consistent practice and in believing and staying on one's chosen path.

Marjorie Woollacott, an accomplished neuroscientist and a meditator for many decades, bridges for us the meditation and neuroscience worlds. Starting with how the brain filters vast amounts of information, to how linear thinking on the left side of the brain suppresses expanded awareness on right side of brain, she helps us understand what the current neuroscience models explain about the experience of meditation. We also paint a vision of what could be the impact of meditation on the modern world. So if you’ve ever wondered about the impact of yoga on the brain, this is the conversation to tune into!
Marjorie is an Emeritus Professor of Human Physiology, and member of the Institute of Neuroscience, at the University of Oregon in America. She is the President of the Academy for the Advancement of Postmaterialist Sciences (AAPS) and the Research Director for the International Association of Near-Death Studies (IANDS). Marjorie received her Ph.D. in Neuroscience from the University of Southern California, has published more than 200 scientific articles and written or co-edited eight books. Her most recent book- Infinite Awareness- has won several awards. This book beautifully combines her research as a neuroscientist with her insights and self-revelations about the mind’s spiritual power from decades of her meditation practice.

Kamal Maliramani is the founder of Energizer yoga and has been practicing yoga for over 15 years. He began his journey looking to start meditation and was encouraged to begin with asana to establish stillness in the physical body. He studied in the traditions of Hatha, Iyengar, Ashtanga and later in Acro yoga. Along with Hatha Yoga Asanas, he conducts regular courses and workshops on Yoga Sutras to help people connect with the philosophy and take yoga beyond the mat into their daily lives. His mantra is add life to living – “People are living, but there’s no life, with Yoga we bring life to living” he says. Kamal has given his gracious voice to the Hindi meditation audios on the Eka meditation app.
Through this interaction we learnt Kamal's definition of awareness and how yoga is all about connecting with forces beyond the mat. His simple stories and easy narratives make the subject of awareness accessible and easy to understand. Awareness, he says, is the goal of all yoga practices and it helps us to see the interconnection between all things. If you liked listening to Kamal, don't forget to subscribe to our channel.

Ashima Goyal is a writer, an editor, a socio-emotional learning educator, an artist, a community-builder (and visionary behind Romania's first Karma Kitchen), a cook (and food blogger!), and a spirited volunteer. Her service has spanned from online space-holding, to hands-on direct disaster aid in grassroots villages after serious floods in Uttarakhand, to transformative 'hands, head, heart' retreats. Her work has focused on transforming her environment by first transforming herself through small acts of service. Her mantra is "bloom where you are planted." Her education includes Electrical Engineering from IITB and Masters in Social Policy & Development from London School of Economics. She taught mindfulness to elementary school kids in Mongolia and Romania, and currently develops learning products that bring holistic education to school students. Through this interaction we learnt Ashima's definition of mindfulness and her approach to cultivating mindfulness. We understand the subject from the lens of children and how we can learn from children to be present, and at the same time support them in retaining their attention and awareness as they grow into adults. Ashima touched our hearts with her shining eyes, ear to ear smile, and simple explanations.
Ashima has also shared with us some wonderful resources for further reading and exploration: Pebble Meditation: Book: A Handful of Quiet https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/13590614-a-handful-of-quiet Wait: by Antoinette Portis https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/22718683-wait Mindful Games by Susan Kaiser Greenland https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/29236414-mindful-games
