  • Wonderful podcast and teachings

    I’ve been listening to Thoms’ podcast for 6 years now and I’ve found his words tremendously beneficial - both as an anchor and as a reminder on how to reorient myself when needed. His guidance is second to none and I find new and deeper meaning in his words with every listen.

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Building Community Through Vedic Meditation: A Conversation with Barron Hanson
Q: What was the genesis of your involvement with Vedic Meditation and your shift from a New York media career to teaching in Nowra?
Barron explains a turning point during a busy startup lifestyle and attempts at calming techniques, leading to a casual introduction to Vedic Meditation through a colleague; after an initiation, he committed to the practice for years and began teaching in Nowra, inspired by visible changes in himself and others.
Building Community Through Vedic Meditation: A Conversation with Barron Hanson
Q: Let me hear a little bit from you about your family and your upbringing in Noura. What was it like?
Barron recounts his roots in a fifth-generation family, the Swedish heritage of the Hanson line, and the social challenges of a regional town, which later motivated him to return after living in New York and pursue community-focused meditation work.
Ravana: The Essential Villain, Part 2
Q: What is the best way for a new meditator to engage with mythos?
Start with the idea that ancient texts endure because they remain relevant; read translations that preserve meaning, and use them as a catalyst to explore deeper themes with guidance from knowledgeable teachers or companions in satsang.
What Are the Signs of Expanding Consciousness?
Q: And what would you recommend to them in terms of if they're not beginning to feel that depth of vastness in their life, when would it be a good sign that they might want to consider Vedic Meditation?
If depth of vastness isn't arising through ordinary exertion, consider Vedic Meditation as a direct method to access transcendental experiences more reliably and rapidly than other lifelong practices.
What Are the Signs of Expanding Consciousness?
Q: For those who are not yet practicing Vedic Meditation, would the signs that you spoke about still be relevant for them in terms of reviewing and reflecting on whatever it is that they're doing in their life?
Yes, the signs are relevant as a reflective framework, but the path to enlightenment without practice is slow and uncertain; the recommended next step is to explore learning the technique from qualified teachers.
