Podcasts on yoga

Hi everyone,

Hi all,
Over the last few years, a number of people have asked me about the teachings of Krishnamurti and about how these teachings relate to the practices of yoga. Basically, Krishnamurti taught that meditation is not something that you can do, but a state of being where the mind is silent and there is no “centre”.
So, I have recorded a short video for YouTube on this subject, including how we can know if we are ready to make use of Krishnamurti’s teachings.

Hi all,
I recently made a video about entry into samadhi. After posting it I was asked what the relationship was between the experience of samadhi, and enlightenment. This is something that is not often talked about in yoga, so I have recorded a video for YouTube to answer this question. It can be found here:

Hi all,
I was recently asked if I thought that the universe works to drag us backward on the spiritual path, despite our efforts to make progress. So, I have created a short video for YouTube to answer this. In my reply I talk about the most important stage on the spiritual path which is where positive samskaras are taking us forwards, faster than negative samskaras are pulling us backwards:

Hi all,
Someone asked me a while back if I would consider Jesus Christ to be a Yogi? So, I made a video to answer this question, looking at the relationship between the teachings of Jesus and the teachings of Krishna, especially in relation to the “I Am” statements made by both teachers.
The video is on Youtube here:

Hi all,
Recently there was some confusion caused by an Indian government minister saying that the Buddha was born in India. This confused the government of Nepal, who believed that the Buddha was born in Nepal. No one disagreed about the name of the village that the Buddha had been born in, or where that village was. The disagreement was over what country the village was in when the Buddha was born. I have created a short video for YouTube looking at the question of what the truth of the matter could be:

Hi all,
A couple of years ago I recorded a short audio podcast to answer the question: “Are there any dangers in Neo-Advaita teaching?”
