Most of us think of laws of Nature as being those laws that determine how the environment behaves on a physical level. The Vedic worldview expands the scope of these laws to include consciousness itself, and its constantly-evolving intentions. This effectively makes Nature a conscious entity, hence why you’ll often find us spelling it with a capita…

Many people go to great lengths to view eclipses, sometimes traveling thousands of miles to witness the shadow of the Moon passing across the Sun or the shadow of the Earth crossing the Moon. In Jyotish, or Vedic Astrology, however, such events can be seen as inauspicious, and the recommendation might be that we take shelter from them rather than e…

When we think of quantum mechanics, most of us conjure up images of nutty professors and blackboards filled with incomprehensible equations.

Ceremonial fires have been used in most cultures for millenia.

Sanskrit terminology has been slowly creeping into common usage outside of India, quite often incorrectly.

In the modern world, mantras come in all shapes and sizes. Though they originate from the Vedic tradition, it’s becoming more and more common to see/hear mantras used in a more modern context, as political slogans or even as a rallying cry to get people behind a common cause. Modern and ancient mantras all have a similar purpose, to alter the think…

As humans, we often draw conclusions based on observations. However, these observations can frequently lead us down the wrong path.

In this episode, Thom clarifies the meaning and intent of Guru …

“The truth hurts!”... or so we’re often told. Many of us have no problem being truthful, even if the recipient gets hurt in the process. After all, isn’t honesty the best policy?

What’s the distinction between mind, intellect and ego? And what are their functions? Unlike many modern psychological approaches, the Vedic worldview honors and celebrates the role of all three.

Maharishi Mahesh Yogi took an alternative approach, demonstrating that true fre…
