I am Shanmugam, the author of 'The Truth About Spiritual Enlightenment: Bridging Science, Buddhism and Advaita Vedanta', a blogger and a Youtuber.
This podcast is to help spiritual seekers on their journey to spiritual enlightenment based on my own experience.
I talk about meditation, mindfulness, barriers to spiritual awakening, reviews on spiritual gurus and books, traditions like Buddhism, Advaita Vedanta, Yoga and Zen, and insights of awakened beings like Ramana Maharshi, J.Krishnamurti, Gurdjieff, Osho, Eckhart Tolle and others.

Spiritual Enlightenment - A Beginner's Guide to Awakening To Your True Nature | #spiritualawakening
Deep down in people’s minds, there is an underlying dissatisfaction with the way things are. People want many things to be different from the way they actually are. There is a craving for becoming something that one is not and there is a resistance to the way things are. Everyone is moving towards a goal, a destination that is in the future. The hopes of arriving at that destination seem to give some solace and if those hopes and dreams are threatened, we tend to suffer. This burning uneasiness and dissatisfaction can be likened to a fire that is burning. The extinction of this fire is enlightenment. The word ‘Nirvana’ means extinction.
I use the word 'Spiritual Enlightenment' as it is more common. It is what really fills the God-shaped hole that everyone has.
