Memorable Quotes
"Look at India with a biometric identities scheme, which is the historically largest scheme in the world, which collects 1.2 billion fingerprints, iris scans, and links that with your background information, your bank information, your social media... And all this provides and reinforces your identity."
"We need to also understand that we can only celebrate automation when we have strong safety nets and strong security systems that allow us to reimagine our ways of living."
"If you want to win an election in India or any of the developing countries, you need to win the WhatsApp war."
"Some of the favelas, which are low-income settlements, were run by drug lords and gangs of all kinds who would force you to be on Facebook."
"If you look at say, Twitter, where 50% of young people are very active in Saudi Arabia, the most popular Twitter accounts are often imams themselves, because there's a lot of competition amongst these religious leaders to get the young people's attention."

AE024 - Indu Arora - Wake Up to Your Self.mp3
Hello and Happy Labor Day!
As we embark on another change in seasons, I hope you've enjoyed your summer and are looking forward to fall.
The last few episodes of the podcast have been dedicated to my experiences from Insight India 2016. This trip was founded and led by Indu Arora. We traveled to several cities in India to learn from great teachers of Ayurveda and Yoga, and to experience these disciplines still alive in modern practice. As discussed in these last few episodes, the total experience was a challenge to my whole being - humbling, and yet rich with learning and discovery.
For this episode I am honored to have had the opportunity to sit down for a conversation with Indu. My partner Brooke first met Indu in her Ayurveda wellness program here in Asheville. She was greatly inspired by her teachings and shared some of her lectures with me. I found her teachings of the yogic philosophy of Samkhya to be very fresh to my ears. This was interesting, but moreover I was inspired at how much the system resonates with my intuition about the mind/body connection. And specifically, Indu's teaching seems to strike notes of deep truth. This is what led us to join in her trip to India, to learn more .
I am so privileged that Indu granted me an hour to sit down with her for a conversation. I was able to ask her questions about the nature of the mind and the body, and how we can approach our life with an organizational framework of understanding. She responded to each of them with great knowledge and wisdom. Some of the words may be new to the listener, and I encourage deeper investigation into the concepts she discusses. The include the experience of yoga, the philosophy of Samkhya, the process of opening up to our deeper self. She answered all of my questions with directness, pointing to the great mysteries of life and yet acknowledging that the discovery of these is an ever-deepening process of growing in awareness. And she is able to do all of this with a warmth and contagious joy!
AE024 - Indu Arora - Wake Up to Your Self
With all of that being said, if you are new to the Ayurvedic tradition, I think Indu's approach is a great place to start. And it is a model that I highly encourage further investigation. Her website is a great place to start. She has recently published a beautiful book about Mudra that I would highly recommend for those interested in investigating the mind-body connection.
We had a lovely conversation that I've reflected on a great deal over the past few months. I am honored to share this with you and I hope you enjoy our conversation.

AE022 - 9 Emotions in Vrindavan
For the next installment from the series on my recent trip to India, I'd like to share my personal experience with these emotions in Vrindavan.
AE022 - 9 Emotions in Vrindavan
Vrindavan is the ancient Indian city where it's said that the Hindu Lord Krishna spent his childhood days. There are many temples dedicated to Krishna in Vrindavan and we had the opportunity to experience these temples as a place of living sacrament. Devotees crowded into the temple to chant, read sacred texts and leave offerings to the male form Krishna, and the female form Radha.
In our Insight India 2016 trip we had the fortune to experience this city firsthand. Our homework assignment during the trip was to reflect on our experience up to that point through the lens of examining our emotions according to the rasa classification system. I found it to be a useful exercise for exploration and recorded a mini-episode that I'm sharing with you here. The YouTube video for this episode includes the video segment of the recording., showing the numerous monkeys that co-inhabited the ashram where we stayed. This includes one brief clip of a monkey walking right past me as I was recording - fear and wonder captured live!
Looking back on the experience now it's been interesting for me to note how my emotions associated with the experience there have changed in character in various capacities. I think this is a useful metaphor for observing how our emotions change in character with time. Taking the time to tune into the emotional disturbances of the mind gives us an opportunity to use our intelligence to determine what caused these disturbances. It also teaches us pathways for resolving these emotional disturbances based on our previous experiences. These are referred to often in the psychological world as coping skills.
I hope you enjoy the episode. Namaste.

This was my jumping off point of the trip and I hope you enjoy it.
