    Sadhana Is Life! | Satsang with Ravi

    “Sadhana is my life, basically. Whether it's studying or not studying or meditating or not meditating, but the intent is to maintain a sense of that Highest Awareness at all times.” Discover the profound journey and wisdom of friend and life-time meditator Ravi. Ravi is a 70 year old yogi who has dedicated 50 years to living and embodying the Highest Awareness under the guidance (and Grace) of his teacher, his guide, his ideal, his guru, Swami Shyam.  In this episode, Ravi shares timeless insights on meditation, the nature of the Knower, and how sadhana transforms everyday life. In this path of self-realization and living that highest awareness, it’s conversations like these that keep me going.  .Here’s some key takeaways: Ravi’s early spiritual questioning, venturing to northern India in the 70’s to meet his Guru Swami Shyam The importance of sadhana as a life-long, all-encompassing practice (50 years in!)A deeper understanding of the Highest Awareness and the role of meditationPractical insights on attending to the space between thoughts and the power of the Knower in meditationHow to navigate doubts, ego, and illusion on the spiritual pathThe legacy of Swamiji and the simplicity of true liberationAdvice to younger seekers and the importance of trust and dedication Visit Swami Shyams Library of english books and scriptures HERE I really loved this satsang discussion, it gave me so much inspiration! It’s such a trip to hear stories of Western seekers making the trek to India in the 70’s. I feel in my soul I’m from that era. But these conversations strike me as important for us to adapt our sadhana and the timeless Knowledge for today’s world and keep our attention, always, on the highest.  Remember, the journey is lifelong and continuous. Every moment offers an opportunity to recognize the Knower within.  And, in Ravi’s words “The rest as they say is history—a far more enlightening one than I ever studied at University—the history of the Eternal Reality, Me!” In oneness,  Bobbi  Thanks for listening!  💭Support the podcast Patreon Page and join monthly satsangs  💭 If you liked this episode, please leave a review – it really, really helps the show reach more people, plus I love reading each one.  💭 Share your biggest takeaway on Instagram stories @bobbipaidel   💭Join me on Retreat in faraway places like India, Sri Lanka & Scandinavia Get on the waitlist HERE 💭 If you’d like to chat about the show, be a guest, or practice together - Let’s connect! bobbipaidel.com/connect 🙏♥️✨

  5. 7 Essential Bhagavad Gita Verses (And How To Imbibe Them) | a Curious Yogi

    12 maj

    7 Essential Bhagavad Gita Verses (And How To Imbibe Them) | a Curious Yogi

    Season 5 of A Curious Yogi is here. I’m so happy to begin this season with a solo episode exploring an essential teaching from my teacher, Swamiji, who encouraged everyone to learn and memorize these seven verses from the Bhagavad Gita (Chapter 2, verses 19–25). He described them as containing the essence of the entire scripture. In this episode, I share some of Swamiji’s reflections and commentary, attempt to sing the Sanskrit verses myself (eek), and explore ways we can read, contemplate, and meditate on this timeless text as modern seekers. Some key themes from the conversation: The Gita is not simply a literal story about war or battle, but an exploration of the inner conflict between the individual self and the wisdom of the Higher Self.Gita means “song” — these teachings were meant to be sung, recited, and absorbed deeply.The teachings point us toward deathlessness: the reminder that we are not merely the body or identity we take ourselves to be.Perspective matters deeply — reading the Gita through Krishna’s consciousness offers something very different from reading solely through Arjuna’s confusion. If this episode gives you even a small glimpse into the depth and beauty of the Gita, I’d love for you to join me this June for an 18-week reading, study, and meditation group: 18 chapters in 18 weeks. All sessions will be recorded, so there’s no pressure to attend live every time. And Patreon members receive 50% off the full offering. More than anything, I’m excited to explore this mystical and practical scripture intentionally with the curious yogi sangha.

  6. Yoga Sadhana as a Path of Remembering: Season 4 Finale | a Curious Yogi & Guests

    Yoga Sadhana as a Path of Remembering: Season 4 Finale | a Curious Yogi & Guests

    Season 4 comes to a close with reflection on the biggest themes, teachings, and truths that wove through this season of a Curious Yogi Podcast. This closing episode is not a “best of,” but a look back at some of the timeless wisdom shared by this season’s guests. Through conversations on sadhana, meditation, tradition, fear, service, openness, devotion, and the deeper heart of yoga, one thread keeps returning: yoga is a path of remembering. Remembering what practice is for. Remembering how to meet the mind. Remembering how to stay present in the paradox of being human. Remembering how to listen, how to serve, and how to remain open. And most deeply, most essentially, emembering who we truly are. This finale highlights reflections and insights inspired by conversations with Jyoti, Nicki, Katharine, Deep, Vijay, Rodrigo, Sheila, Philippe, Reema, Abhaya, Hirdaya, and Zach — and closes Season 4 with reverence, gratitude, and a reminder that while truth may be shared, the path is lived in a deeply personal way. If this season has supported your practice, inspired your sadhana, or offered you good company along the way, you’re warmly invited to join the Patreon community. On Patreon, you can stay connected between seasons, support the podcast, and join our monthly satsangs for deeper practice, reflection, and community. Season 5 returns in May.

  7. Dive Deep: Why Yoga Is More Than Just A Physical Destination | Myra Khanna

    Dive Deep: Why Yoga Is More Than Just A Physical Destination | Myra Khanna

    “Practicing yoga is not really something separate from me. It is happening all the time.” In this episode of a Curious Yogi Podcast, yoga teacher Myra Khanna shares her journey from Kathak dancer and scuba diving instructor to dedicated yoga practitioner and teacher. Drawing from studies with Bharath Shetty, Vinay Kumar, Vijay Kumar, Deepika Mehta, Mark Robberds, Eddie Stern, and ongoing training with Yoga Education College, Myra reflects on her evolution from a physically driven Ashtanga practice to a more holistic exploration of pranayama, meditation, and nervous system regulation. The conversation explores the commercialization of yoga, misconceptions about yoga in India, female health awareness in asana practice, and the parallels between diving and meditative practice. Myra also shares how traditional strength disciplines like mudgar swinging, dandas, and baithaks inform her approach to resilience and sustainability in practice. Here are some key takeaways; ➖ Transition from purely physical to a more holistic practice. ➖ Emphasize the importance of listening to one's body and nervous system. ➖ Commercialization of yoga impacts its true essence. ➖ Teaching should accommodate students' individual needs and journeys. ➖ Diving parallels the meditative aspects of yoga. ➖ Myra’s passion for education on female health in yoga after becoming unwell. Connect with Myra: IG @myrakhann02 I really enjoyed this conversation as an invitation to reconsider yoga as a living, evolving process — one rooted in curiosity, community, and embodied awareness.
