Vish is great at making spiritual concepts into digestible down to earth perspectives and tangible actions that have impact. I personally love the mythical stories from the Vedic tradition within the science and knowledge that make the teachings relatable, as well as how he brings in modern pop culture microcosms of the teachings too. It makes spirituality fun. Vish is one of those people I want at my dinner table, and with his Bending the Light podcast we all get to take in the drops of light h... more

Phenomenal. My only complaint is I wish I would have been introduced to Vish’s work sooner, but all good things in all good time as they say. I stumbled onto Vish as a guest on the Art of Awakening podcast, which compelled me to order his book <i>Astrology Decoded<i>. Blessings on us all then as I discovered he had recently come to start his very own podcast! He has such a gentle and logical way of breaking down this ancient wisdom and presenting it in a manner that is easy to comprehend. Given ... more
