We have now posted a number of podcasts. Over time we plan to add features like occasional video podcasts as well as call in shows. It has been a fun learning experience that we are sure will evolve and improve over time. You can tune in to any or all of the episodes by clicking the link below:

Right now and until the end of April, Rahu is in Adra Nakshatra. All the other nakshatras are part of groups of five. Ardra is so powerful that it is the only nakshatra that stands alone. Ardra is the nakshatra of poison. Rahu agitates. So it makes sense that the Corona virus is active now.
Ardra is also a nakshatra of headstrong attitudes and anger. So it might be a good time to lay low and forgive others of their inflamatory behavior.
Though the podcast website is not finished yet, you can access the first few podcasts by clicking on the link below. The structure and nature of the shows will no doubt evolve over time. Enjoy!

Scholars tend to be “know it alls”.
As is said, “The only true knowing is knowing that you know no-thing.”
Of course, scholars “know” all about that.
So even then, they remain “know it alls”.
Most in this world are addicted to a drug, of one sort or another.
Drugs turn people into “know it alls”.
That drug mentality has become main stream.
Often with minimal information, perhaps over lunch or on a street corner, perspectives are quickly formed and solidly held.
Often perspectives are based upon what is heard in a biased “classroom” or biased “newsroom”.
Facts are but dots on a page.
A perspective dictates just one way those dots can be connected.
A set of connecting lines is all too often called “knowledge”.
Lives are too often based upon a set of dot connecting lines.
Oh, if life were only that simple.
Of course, some perspectives are just plain wrong.
Yet there are an infinite number of simultaneously valid yet contradictory perspectives.
The wise know no-thing.
The wise honor the set of lines most sincerely addressing the moment.
The wise can be passionate.
Yet the wise are humble.
The wise seem a paradox to the world.
Some call them weaklings.
Some call them fools.
Some call them flip flopping, mind-changing chameleons.
Some call them arrogant.
Some call them much worse.
Wisdom is not made of fixed perspectives.
The sum total of all the dot connecting lines nets out to no-thing, the only true knowing.
Wisdom is a physiological state of awareness.
Wisdom is a state of freedom of the mind, of the minds physiology.
Because the wise are in that sense formless, any form can be projected upon them…. and is.
Thinking that I will start a podcast, I have not been blogging lately in hopes the podcasts would start soon. I will keep you posted.
I was up until a bit past 4:00 a.m. last night watching Trump and Modi speak at the stadium packed with 120,000 people in Ahmedabad, Gujarat. The streets on the way to the stadium were lined with thousands of people. The whole event was very inspiring. I could not help feeling it marked a positive phase transition in global events.
Mahashivarathri at our temple was beautiful. It too somehow had the feeling of a positive global phase transition.
We are planning a number of upgrades here at Mt. Soma including the dining menu and regular hours for telephone answering. We are looking forward to warmer weather when families come to Mt. Soma, visit the temple, play outside, go for walks to Ganga Park, Hanuman, etc. It is very heartwarming. It makes me feel like a Vedic Walt Disney, offering Mt Soma for everyone to enjoy with their families!
Also, hoping this spring or summer to offer Advanced Techniques phase 2 via the Internet…
Jyotish was most challenging for several years now, but it appears to have turned the corner!
Hoping to be chatting with you via the podcast airwaves soon!
