  • Ayurvedic Psychology 103: Sattvic Lifestyle for a Calm Mind
    Sep 8 2025

    Today in part three of our Ayurvedic psychology series, we focus on the Sattvic lifestyle, the daily habits and way of being that enable us to reside in a Sattvic state of consciousness, the one and only state that does not create disease. We'll explore how living in a Sattvic way is more than just a diet or a daily routine.

    It's a way of aligning your mind, body, and spirit in a way that creates mental clarity, emotional stability, and deep vitality. An Ayurveda lifestyle directly shapes the mind, the foods we eat, sleep hygiene, environment, and the thoughts we cultivate, influences the qualities of consciousness. Sattva, clarity and harmony, Rajas, activity and restlessness, and Tamas, heaviness and inertia.

    We'll also examine Tamasic and Rajasic lifestyles so you can see how habits, patterns, and thought processes create agitation, dullness or imbalance, and learn how to shift towards Sattvic living with awareness and ease. Whether you're new to Ayurveda or looking to deepen your personal practice, this episode will guide you through practical, simple strategies, lifestyle, rituals and mindset shifts to embody Sattva in your daily life and cultivate a mind that is peaceful, clear, and aligned with your highest self.

  • Ancient Indian Temple Science: Energy, Architecture, and Wisdom with Prem KV
    Sep 1 2025

     Prem KV has been a seeker since childhood. After studying agriculture in India, he worked as a plant scientist in Melbourne. Drawn back to his roots, he embraced the life of a Brahmachari, or monk, in Sadhguru's ashram for 15 years, exploring the inner dimensions of life. Since then, he has dedicated himself to sharing the essence of Indian culture.

    He has been traveling across the country, visiting and filming powerful temples and sacred spaces for the last six years. His YouTube videos, garnering over 4 million views, have showcased powerful temples and sacred spaces across the country. Notable works include the Sadhguru ShriBrahma series, which explores the life of a great yogi from a century ago, and the Himalayan series offering Rare Insights into Uttarakhand's revered Temples.

    Prem's work inspires individuals to reconnect with their roots and contribute to preserving India's rich culture and spiritual heritage. In today's episode, we journey into the realm of sacred architecture, embodied temples, and the role of Sadhana and modern life. Ancient temples in India weren't just places of worship. They were spiritual technologies designed with precision, purpose, and chronic intelligence. Built at energy vortexes aligned with celestial rhythms and vibrating with mantras and sacred geometry. These temples were constructed not just to honor the divine, but to transform the human.

    But what happens when we no longer live near ancient temples? What happens when we live in cities of noise, speed, and distraction?

    Today's conversation invites us to remember that the temple is not lost. It simply waits to be awakened within us. We'll explore how the body itself is a sacred temple, how to design meaningful temple spaces at home, and how daily sadana our devotional practice can serve as an offering that aligns us with our inner Sri Brahma, the still point of divine intelligence at the core of all things.

    Whether you're a seeker, a householder, or someone simply yearning to reconnect with the sacred in a modern world, this episode will guide you back to the inner sanctum through sound, breath, ritual, and remembrance that temples are not merely relics of the past. They are living technologies meant to awaken the temple within each of us.

  • Ayurvedic Psychology 102: 3 Doshas and 3 Gunas
    Aug 25 2025

     Today we dive deeper into the layers of the mind and personality with Ayurvedic Psychology 102: The 3 Doshas and the 3 Gunas.

    At the heart of Ayurveda lies a timeless template. One that explains not just your body and mind, but consciousness itself through the lens of the five elements and their expressions as the Doshas and Gunas.

    This isn't just about understanding your stress responses or emotional habits, though that's part of it. It's about learning to see the world through the lens of nature's intelligence. We'll begin with the 3 Doshas:

    1. Vata, the principle of movement and change; creative, spontaneous, but prone to anxiety and fragmentation.
    2. Pitta, the force of transformation focused, passionate, and discerning yet can burn out or become irritable.
    3. Kapa, the energy of structure and cohesion, loving, loyal and calm, but sometimes resistant to change.

    And then we'll move into the 3 Gunas, the subtle forces of the mind:

    1. Sattva brings clarity, peace, and harmony.
    2. Rajas brings action, ambition, and restlessness.
    3. Tamma brings stillness, but also inertia, confusion or ignorance.

    These 6 forces, the three Doshas and the three Gunas form a living map of consciousness. They help us understand why we feel, what we feel, do what we do, and how to come back into alignment with our higher self.

    When you begin to see yourself and others through this elemental lens, life starts to make more sense. You stop personalizing everything and start realizing and relating to your experience with compassion, insight, and greater freedom.
