I sat glued for 3 hours and watched both interviews, I am fascinated how honest and true everything was conveyed, the tears came when I recognized myself in parts of the story. I want to thank you both from the bottom of my heart, for sharing this great interaction.
I think that we are living in a time where so many ppl are waking up to the emptiness of our modern life, and they are seeking for a path to a more authentic spiritual existence. 🙏🏻💖
Ever since I saw the first video with Sadhguru, he changed my life. He opened my eyes to the true reality. Sadhguru is so real and has a rich and funny sense of humor.
The way I see it is, it’s the need of the hour to share such amazing experiences so that people can get inspired and possibly take first step towards transformation. If I didn’t watch that first video of Sadhguru 8 years ago I possibly wouldn’t be alive 🙏🏼 I am always looking for opportunities to share the message that you are your own light and Sadhguru’s practices help one realise it. 🙏🏼
I just love listening to 2 people have a genuine conversation about something I’m interested in. As someone who puts out content, I have to believe that if it touches even one person, that is enough. Your talks have touched me 🙏🏻 I greatly appreciate them.
Thank you fortaking the time to do those 2 interviews. I have been with Isha for almost 5 years now,doing my hatha and kriyas intensely twice a day, and having someone who has been there for 14 years + share his experience is immensely valuable. Yoga works wonderfully only if you do it. If you remain on the same path long enough you will inevitably end up reaching your destination. Commitment, intensity, discipline and dedication will lift you up to inimaginable heights no matter what you choose to do. Namaskaram!
What i have realized after doing a few programs is that being on a spiritual journey it means to walk on a path that is unknown to you. It means you'll have your own experiences and they will be different than those of others. It means not to compare yourself with others or look for an experience someone else had and have no expectations. I had the privilege to do BSP in 2017, there were 750 participants. I had realized that tho we were doing the same process, each paryicipant was having their own experience all depending of how open and receptive they were. On day 3 i remember deciding to give myself entirely to the process, even if that meant it's the last thing i get to do and that's when it all changed for me. 🙏
Namaskaram. Thank you for the authentic and humble sharing. It is just breathtaking how our guru is working...through the both of you...through me.. through everyone.
This is going to be my first TH-cam comment ever, just couldn’t stay away. Those two episodes blew me away. There were moments I couldn't hold back the tears because it touched me so deeply 🙏 I've been part of the Isha community since 2021 and can only second that these practices work! Beyond the incredible transformation, being part of this community is one of the best things that happened to me. And I would like to support its growth further. Please, share what ideas you have 🙏✨
Namaskaram, Thank you so much for the podcast. I was volunteering for IE in Philadelphia for past four days and was busy. Watching it now. Thank you for talking about awareness as much as possible 🙏. The one more question that I had in mind was cleared in this podcast. IE worked miraculously for me. I have a big story which can be told to people who are looking for some true story encouragement. But I was always sceptical if I need to tell me story and gain sympathy. But as Joshua is saying we have very less amount of time. We need to be quick. We should not have any problem to share true story of our life to make people aware that such a beautiful thing exists which can give a life back for those who are struggling mentally and physically. Yes we need to talk about it loudly now. And we definitely need a community to support all the offerings that Sadhguru has offered for us like Sanskriti. Thank you so much Joshua for your time and sharing such a beautiful journey with Sadhguru in your life. We need to hear from you more and more.
Sadhguru and Isha practices transform life and make it blossom in such a beautiful way. I am grateful for having Sadhguru in my life. Thank you for this podcast. 🙏🙏🙏
There is an uncommon genuineness and humility in your words that is so refreshing in this modern culture where everyone tries pretending to be something that isn't really true to ones self. It is no surprise at all these interviews have garnered large numbers of views. Thank you for sharing your experiences.
I remember walking or gliding through or becoming more aware of the changes inside myself and knowing i never needed anyone to fully help but to know where i wanted no needed no honorably chose to head was not for the faint of heart or the timid however anytime the awareness is to much we all have the opportunity to go back however back will not look like we once were. I have needed a moment or two to catch up on some awarenesses and you are right when i take another step towards everythingness nothingness yet all and none. Loving the power of knowing without knowing anything. Listening to you both brought more awareness. Sending you both my hmmmm
Community! Specially for those of us who live where there are no local centers, a virtual community would be great! And what Joshua said about conscoiusly supporting rang a bell for me 😬 I watch and I like but I rarely comment or give the Like 😂 Let's have that video on social media 🤓 many of us could learn from people who consciously do them 🤩
Community. Holaa. Yes, I love this topic. I think I am much more influential choosing what I pay for and what do I give likes to than when I vote for polytics. I even feel more excited for voting for Eurovision and giving views to other good unknown songs of the artists than voting for polytics 😂.
These types of podcasts where the glimpses of personal spiritual experiences are shared in a genuine and practical manner really resonates with me. I have been blessed with lots of mystic experiences without sincere longterm sadhana, and that had me complacent and wasting my time and energy on absolutely trivial things. I am trying to generate enough hunger and desire to do more intense long term sadhana but the ego still longs for accomplishments and achievments in certain areas. So im currently trying to blend awareness of my prana and being rooted in the present moment in every task i do to make it into a sadhana but its very taxing on the system and hard to maintain. I plan to do hatha yoga training as ive heard it prepares the body, energizes the chakras and makes the nadis circulate more prana to sustain these high energy states. This talk helped a lot in developing a sense of urgency within me to deepen my sadhana and hopefully become like sadhguru and continue his work. Great stuff man. Hope this comment boosts the algorithm.
I loved the 1st interview with him. His real raw honesty about his journey really resonated with me. I appreciated the fact that we got an honest perspective of the beauty and difficulty of the path. I’m about 3/4 of the way through the 2nd. and I think because of the success of the first he seems much more guarded with what and how he shares. Understandable! Certainly the questions reflected the attention of the first video too. I was really interested to hear about more of his experiences and less about his relationship with Sadhguru. I love Sadhguru, I was just hoping for more of his personal experience and the practice and what he’s learned. He was still able to get a lot of good points in but I would have loved to hear some more in depth. I do hope he continues to do podcasts and hopefully we continue to hear from him. I certainly feel it was another push to pick up the practice that I needed. Thank you for introducing him to us. Great to hear his experience. Thanks for you both! 🙏🏽
For me, talking about my experiences was much more personal. Trying to convey that presents all sorts of difficulties. For these things words can’t suffice.
I have few questions but don't know how to put them in words, I need some time to exactly figure out what's that I need to hear more about, know about @@TwistedReality108
@@jfberwald totally understandable. Thank you so much for sharing your story. I think so many people will relate to a lot of what you said and certainly feel inspired and hopeful after listening to you. I know I did. I hope we continue to hear from you. 🙏🏽🤍
Namaskaram, I like to thank you both for putting these two episodes together. I am grateful for the way this personal experience was shared especially being so cautious on what to share and how to share it. The speed we all are, the world we are experiencing and how we are within ourselves, are indeed aspects that make the right now a great place to be . The way Joshua shared consciously each word and how to approach process that are so personal were indeed great great aspects of those two episodes. Stephan also conducted in a superb way with open questions. Each one of us here will respond or react accordingly to our individual capacity. SG is here as a possibility to all of us. For some will be X, for others will be Y and so forth. But HE is none of this or that. For most of us, including me, I am not even sure who He really is, likewise all can see is that the practices and SG presence in this life had transformed the way I see, listen , live and breath. So as an Isha volunteer myself I would like to express an interest on how this can be taken further. If I understood correctly I just need to copy the hashtags?! #Spirituality #Sadhguru #kailash #MysticExperiences #SocialMedia
Totally agree with building communities and sharing. There was a time when these practices were part of day to day life..But with all the destruction and invasion it was lost and not that accessible afterwards. Fortunately there were few who kept it alive..
Thank you Joshua..saw both the episodes back to back. It was wonderful listening to your experiences..I look forward to go to kailash one day, with sadhguru...hope it happens.Thank you for sharing your priceless experience..
Namaskaram, Joshua anna🙏. I have done only Shambhavi and BSP. Now, I feel that I don't know a damn thing about life. Thank you for sharing your wonderful inner state. I felt blessed hearing this podcast.
As if I am listening to myself asking and answering these questions. 😱 Very interesting to me that we all have different lifes, different minds, bodies, experiences ... but we are done by same creator. Same vector in life. Same visions. 🙏✨️
I tried the as best i can with spirituality but my health could not let me continue sadly. Really wish i could have tasted shambhavi. It is nice to see positive experiences people have had with spirituality
Wonderful conversation. Looking forward to the community. Can relate to the point that i have far more challenges i face now after starting spiritual practices.
Is definitely valuable! In fact, i teared when listening to Joshua's inner experience in Kailash and his spiritual path. I was there in 2018.. unexpected experience blasted like a sudden wake from a long dream, yet so much confusion in mind! This podcast is important, its kind of giving some sense of "validations" about ownself inner journey.. and i'm not alone in this journey.. is kind of support. Thanks with grace🙏🙏
Always grateful to Sadhguru for the way he has uplifted me and people around. Never imagined I would ever be a part of a sangha or a community but I guess grace plays a big role. Nonetheless, grateful to Hatha yoga teachers and the Isha content creators for constantly posting and creating videos, reels, images to somehow make a change in people's lives. Thanks to both of you from heart for making these 2 videos. Namaskaram :)🙏
This episode was very touching. Having a sense of community and hearing different sharings about these topics is refreshing. It has helped me reflect on different struggles of mine. Thank you !
What a great dialogue, relatable and genuine. I send many blessings and loads of goodness to all your projects. Let's change the world one conversation, one step and one breath at a time. Greetings from Finland, Maria 💕
Thank you both for sharing. Information is very powerful and i totally understand that you have to be careful what /how you are sharing. Thank to be so Re-sponsable and sensitive. 🙏
It was very valuable indeed. Thank you for the candid conversation reminding us to appreciate the Guru from a distance and be His limbs and bring solutions to the world with our attention and actions, while He gets a much needed chance to recuperate and restore! Thank you on educating how the algorithms work and how to play the game… I don’t usually comment, but I’m responding to your clarion call. Bless you both for bringing profound truths, insights and inspiration to many!!Namaskaram!
Thank you. Both of you. I have autism. My nervous system, cognition, thinking patterns are a little different from average. I would not disclose this information to the Shambhavi teacher or volunteers in 2017 but they knew or sensed something was a bit odd during my training. While others in our group of 50 paired off or collected into groups during small amounts of downtime, I was in the corner alone. That was embarrassing because I didn't know what to do or say. I was also at peace knowing it was nothing personal. I found I felt better overall when I did the practice and was hooked on "another experience" and thought of Bhava Spandana 2017 in Tennessee with SadHguru. What was it that Bhava Spandana or meeting Sadhguru might give or show me? Another experience of something beyond when I can hardly stand to be in social groups? Did I miss out because I decided it was best for my experience to nurture the little seed given me with Shambhavi? I can "feel" to SadHGuru in the practice itself. I continued practice through the pandemic in isolation. Followed Ramana Maharshi teachings that seeking the next experience is human. The desire to have, feel, know more and when you reach a certain level it was always right there inside you. Just for me, I found Shambhavi brilliant because the process itself is getting one ready to take the next step when they are ready. I have autism and I am amazed at the people talk talk talk but don't do the practice Isha teachers and SadhGuru gave. Their time and attention for me to learn something that could help make my life better. They can never get that back, the time and energy they put into my training. My parents put me in martial arts at an early age and I had to wait until 2024 but the next step for me was angamardena. I live at a Yogananda ashram community. Grieving you may never meet SadhGuru is like those who Grieve they never met Yogananda. Both are there in the practices they instructed and handed down. How fortunate we are to live in an age where we didn't have to go to India to learn something so special and sacred. The work, the practice, the doing. That is up to us. Thank you for reminding me where focus goes, energy flows. Algorithms on TH-cam can wind up in dark places and my seed bent into a crooked tree viewing bad energy TH-cam American political opinions and exclusion rights for others. Elections are coming and when I see a TH-cam commercial of a US presidential hopeful whose policy is to exclude others, I remember only "I" can be responsible for the change I hope to see in the world. Inclusion is the only way forward for children of tomorrow. Thanks again.
Thank you for this second episode. The practices - Shambavi and other advanced kriyas, the Isha Hatha Yoga ones, are all amazing and working for me too, I've tested them over and over for more than 7 years now. However, the insight into the mystical experiences was yet another level. Such experiences are indescribable but at least people find out about the possibility of seeing beyond the veil without rushing to the mushroom shop or planning an ayahuasca trip .
I love your honesty and authenticity…I did feel the same about Sadhguru when I discovered him a few years ago…started to doubt him when the rock star appearances and celebrity inclusions started to manifest…you have started my path back to his wisdom…wish I had known him before the social media explosion…but then again,how could I?TH-cam is my only social media indiscretion…have deleted all the others and am blessed to have discovered your channel…thank you…🙏
😃🙏 Thanks guys. Great talk... I can understand reaching many people while sharing about the possibility of a different, whole life experience seems like something to strive for. However, even if only one individual is touched so deeply that it motivates to leave the cult of cynicism and to try to start experiencing the Truth of existence, the whole effort was worthwhile. Joy above perfection !
Thank you very much. I did think that I would be missing my chance in this life to grow spiritually if I never have the chance to be in the presence of Sadhguru. What both of you shared gave me a better perspective about my own responsibility towards my own growth. Namaskaram 🙏
Comunity!!!!! Yesssss! I don't feel lonely but to share thoughts, experiences and love is a deep desire. Being a real Christian for 45 years I finally gave up searching for All the promises the bible gives. But I found it anew in doing some simple practises on the Sadhguru App. I never felt so deeply happy in my life. I am almost 70years old and I would be more than thankful to meet people on the same path!!!! Thank you both for sharing and this call for community!
I really appreciate the depth and seriousness of these conversations. Listening to Joshua's life experiences and spiritual journeys has cast so much light on the nature of a spiritual life and what is involved in following a serious spiritual path. I have learnt a lot about my own life and nature from listening to these talks,
I loved both of these interviews! Thank you for this posting! I appreciate the honesty, Joshua brought, his insights, and experiences with what was learned along the journey! I am encouraged by the questions and responses! I recently stumbled across Sadhguru and am enjoying the Inner Engineering book and course. I have found the initial practices of Isha Kriya and some of the other Yoga practices help me manage my emotions and set a tone for my day. I have more clarity and calmness in my personal and professional life. Keep the interviews going!
Community 🤲🏽🙏🏽🙌🏽 Thank you for your efforts. I am grateful that this came across my “feed”… Willing you and yours continued growth and prosperity… and to you as well. 🕊️&💖
An experience was had and Oneness became the finally clear reality which drew this what was left into thinking about Meditation being a good idea to learn. What is....I....returned but now there was awareness that the veil between the..I..and the all was very thin. Personally I have recently met Sadhguru on here and recognise my personal experiences in the conversations so there is just isness and 'other' is a fallacy as there is no other as in our deepest inner layer we share all the same mind and spirit. Humanity and all of the Universe is all Oneness.
As a shorter term Sadhguru follower (4 years) who has participated and volunteered at various current ISHA programs, could relate to a lot of what Joshua and Stefan shared. Having seen so many participants raising hands in these programs to share and ask personal questions, think there potentially needs to be a forum for sharing of one”s Sadhana journey like Joshua did and asking questions in the group when stuck or when one starts dropping practices. Some of this is happening in the post-program What”s APP groups but it could be expanded.
I am endlessly fascinated by everything Sadhguru, and hearing from people whose lives he has touched. I do hope we are living in a time where we are becoming more conscious and "inclusive". Thank you for sharing your experience.
Community Community Community!! For me, I missed that sangha after my Shambhavi last year. And I want people to have that support being a new meditator when old things are starting to stir up inside them. I want to do my part however little it might contribute. More power to you both and everyone who supported in any way to make this video possible. Thank you🙏🙏
I said it about part one and I’ll say it again about part two it is just so wonderful to hear from someone that has spent time with Sadhguru! Thank you so much plenty of💖🙏
I feel Sadhguru reaches me too as one person said of his energies and your video s are another moment of that. Usually I hang up once marketing comes up. But I am curious as I feel a connection I think knowing nothing of the financial realities. I m a senior with lots of hatha and many moments beyond ordinary life. Lately it seems it’s way easier to organize my understandings - greek turns to English. So yes go for whatever puts it out here. I m in.
Both are so relatable in both videos especially Joshua's that I was all ears 🙏😃 The talks hit home and are so interesting to me. Thank you. Like Joshua, my family is Christian and I'm on my 6 yrs journey with Sadhguru and been doing my sadhanas daily and have to admit they work and my life has better clarity and more pleasantries than before this path 🙏 I teared up when Joshua said he doesn't know anything. Doh
Namaskaram. At 74, my age and physical condition rule out stays at the ashram, despite the fact that I’ve wanted to have that experience. Thus, your stories are informative and inspiring to me. Please do more. On the point about marketing, Sadhguru has plainly said many times that it is his goal to reach everyone on the planet. I think we understand that this is no idle dream, but one for which he’s giving it all he’s got. Outreach is clearly called for. Enter marketing. The fact that Isha does marketing exceptionally well is nothing short of phenomenal. It's working. Finally, for those who may have even a small sense of the immensity that the being known as Sadhguru is, this sharing is precious. It’s a little like listening to someone who was in the room when Leonardo painted the Mona Lisa, or who stood watch while Thomas Jefferson wrote the Declaration of Independence describe his experience. Gentlemen, I thank you.
When we are young snd healthy we live in a horizonless reality. When we suddenly face Death we are suddenly aware there is a real horizon which there after we are always aware of. Unlike before the near death event where we are unaware of the Horizon in the same way.
Very much enjoyed part 1 Thank you for sharing your wisdom. You may feel it’s just two dudes chatting on the interwebs, but as you stated, there is very little discourse that isn’t emotionally charged. It’s so refreshing to hear discussions like this one.
So i was struggling hard and extremely bored i meditate and everything you can think of i pass my time with very good things to do like exercise, reading , watching educational things on TH-cam anytime i felt bored to deal with my boredom and depression of being stuck in a city I hate…. Yesterday i saw a video saying just be bored and take a breath …. Tried it today and it fixed everything i was dealing with LOLOLOL. WILD!!! Busyness is lazyness!
Meditation is not doing something. It's opposite of activity. And we are all so activity driven. So when you go for non activity then you will struggle. That's exactly why many people don't try meditation and even if they do then they don't find it something interesting enough to continue.
Thank you so much for sharing your precious time with/for us, Stevan and Josh. 🌠 We so much need to see such messages about life on social medias. 🌸🌿LIFE CAN BE SO BEAUTIFUL IF ONLY WE CAN SEE IT. 🌸🌿Let's create a conscious planet, a world full of light, love and laughter! There is one thing you talked about in this video, which is comparison. And it's something I notice a lot among meditators... You explained many things about it and through this comment I really wanted to insist on that point. When we know how unique each life is, there is really no reason to compare with each others. What we experience with a practice or a process will also be unique. I see so many meditators struggling because they think they missed something because someone else experienced the program in another way. If it happens to you, remind yourself how unique your life has been... you could simply not experience it as anyone else. Just enjoy what you're experiencing and trust your Life, Your Self. LOVE ❤
Hey Pascale! Thanks for your feedback. Yes you are right in both Podcast we did our best to talk about not comparing ourselves with others, I am sorry to hear that you felt that it was still present. Whatever comparisons we have made was to make a point about not doing it - about not trying to live the life of someone else or wait for something to happen to start applying things to our own life.
@@TwistedReality108 I'm sorry Stevan. Just wanted to say that it was good that you mentioned it... And wanted to insist on it too for whoever was reading the comment... 🙈 Did not formulate it in a clear way obviously. Sorry for the misunderstanding.
After continuing to listen. I do have a good place to live in kinda community. Ready to go. Also fitting to the save the soil idea😊. In case, interested the author might get in touch with me personally.
@@TwistedReality108 Respect, Thanks for getting back to me that fast. My name is Ingmar, what's yours pls? Tell me please to whom I'm corresponding to here. As I mentioned, I do live at a gorgeous place and want to share and give some selected good people the opportunity to live here on my place as well. Might be on a short trip, up to lifetime, depends on the personal decisions of the individuals. It's a small piece of land (46 ha about 280 acres) with lots of potential and positive energy. It's located in Patagonia, Chile. I do not want to bother you in this first direct email. It's a long story... My path in this life had , as many other paths of beings on this earth right now many changes and windings, but to make it short. I used to work on the realization of a place for my huge family with 10 kids, and got separated two Years ago. 6 months ago my ex moved away from this farm and I returned after a physical absence. When I left, the new self built huge house was almost ready to move in. Now I am living alone here with a couple of cats and dogs and animals from my neighbors. The place is a ready and proved kind of self sufficiency eco farm. I know how to cultivate and treat soil. After some important moves regarding my spiritual development I came to the decision that I should give some other people as well the opportunity to get away from places not so proper regarding there environmental circumstances especially regarding the physical changes the world is going through right now and in short term future. That's it for the moment. My ego wishes are: Help others Get companionship and exchange on my personal path Receive any kind of contribution to pay my personal bills I lived for 58 years until now, so do have a lot of experience and memories, but on the other hand feel like a empty book that needs to be everyday written freshly. Hope this wasn't too much of text. Looking forward to any kind of response. Love

These types of podcasts where the glimpses of personal spiritual experiences are shared in a genuine and practical manner really resonates with me. I have been blessed with lots of mystic experiences without sincere longterm sadhana, and that had me complacent and wasting my time and energy on absolutely trivial things. I am trying to generate enough hunger and desire to do more intense long term sadhana but the ego still longs for accomplishments and achievments in certain areas. So im currently trying to blend awareness of my prana and being rooted in the present moment in every task i do to make it into a sadhana but its very taxing on the system and hard to maintain. I plan to do hatha yoga training as ive heard it prepares the body, energizes the chakras and makes the nadis circulate more prana to sustain these high energy states. This talk helped a lot in developing a sense of urgency within me to deepen my sadhana and hopefully become like sadhguru and continue his work.
Great stuff man. Hope this comment boosts the algorithm.
I loved the 1st interview with him. His real raw honesty about his journey really resonated with me. I appreciated the fact that we got an honest perspective of the beauty and difficulty of the path. I’m about 3/4 of the way through the 2nd. and I think because of the success of the first he seems much more guarded with what and how he shares. Understandable! Certainly the questions reflected the attention of the first video too. I was really interested to hear about more of his experiences and less about his relationship with Sadhguru. I love Sadhguru, I was just hoping for more of his personal experience and the practice and what he’s learned. He was still able to get a lot of good points in but I would have loved to hear some more in depth. I do hope he continues to do podcasts and hopefully we continue to hear from him. I certainly feel it was another push to pick up the practice that I needed. Thank you for introducing him to us. Great to hear his experience. Thanks for you both! 🙏🏽
For me, talking about my experiences was much more personal. Trying to convey that presents all sorts of difficulties. For these things words can’t suffice.
What kind of questions do you have on your mind?
I have few questions but don't know how to put them in words, I need some time to exactly figure out what's that I need to hear more about, know about @@TwistedReality108
@@jfberwald totally understandable. Thank you so much for sharing your story. I think so many people will relate to a lot of what you said and certainly feel inspired and hopeful after listening to you. I know I did. I hope we continue to hear from you. 🙏🏽🤍
Namaskaram, I like to thank you both for putting these two episodes together. I am grateful for the way this personal experience was shared especially being so cautious on what to share and how to share it. The speed we all are, the world we are experiencing and how we are within ourselves, are indeed aspects that make the right now a great place to be . The way Joshua shared consciously each word and how to approach process that are so personal were indeed great great aspects of those two episodes. Stephan also conducted in a superb way with open questions. Each one of us here will respond or react accordingly to our individual capacity. SG is here as a possibility to all of us. For some will be X, for others will be Y and so forth. But HE is none of this or that. For most of us, including me, I am not even sure who He really is, likewise all can see is that the practices and SG presence in this life had transformed the way I see, listen , live and breath. So as an Isha volunteer myself I would like to express an interest on how this can be taken further. If I understood correctly I just need to copy the hashtags?! #Spirituality #Sadhguru #kailash #MysticExperiences #SocialMedia
You're welcome! And thanks for your support 🙏🏼 Any comments helps the video reach more people ❤
Totally agree with building communities and sharing. There was a time when these practices were part of day to day life..But with all the destruction and invasion it was lost and not that accessible afterwards. Fortunately there were few who kept it alive..
Thanks for the great interaction🙏🏻
You're welcome!
"What's here" this will take time to sink in for most of us 🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿
Thank you Joshua..saw both the episodes back to back. It was wonderful listening to your experiences..I look forward to go to kailash one day, with sadhguru...hope it happens.Thank you for sharing your priceless experience..
🙏🏼 You're welcome!
yes let us make it happened
Amazing stories! Kailash seems like an incredible place. What a blessing that you had the opportunity to go.
Namaskaram, Joshua anna🙏.
I have done only Shambhavi and BSP. Now, I feel that I don't know a damn thing about life. Thank you for sharing your wonderful inner state. I felt blessed hearing this podcast.
You're welcome! And thanks for your support 🙏🏼
Amazing. Thank you! Community for sure. Looking forward to hearing more from you, Josh!
It's good to have Joshua speaking up and inspiring Hatha Teachers to come together and make this happen ❤️
As if I am listening to myself asking and answering these questions. 😱
Very interesting to me that we all have different lifes, different minds, bodies, experiences ... but we are done by same creator. Same vector in life. Same visions. 🙏✨️
I tried the as best i can with spirituality but my health could not let me continue sadly. Really wish i could have tasted shambhavi.
It is nice to see positive experiences people have had with spirituality
Wonderful conversation. Looking forward to the community. Can relate to the point that i have far more challenges i face now after starting spiritual practices.
Is definitely valuable! In fact, i teared when listening to Joshua's inner experience in Kailash and his spiritual path. I was there in 2018.. unexpected experience blasted like a sudden wake from a long dream, yet so much confusion in mind!
This podcast is important, its kind of giving some sense of "validations" about ownself inner journey.. and i'm not alone in this journey.. is kind of support. Thanks with grace🙏🙏
Thank you for sharing 🙏
@@sychai992 Yes! You're not alone 🙇🙏❤️
5:31 Same, Isha practices have worked. Also very potent, and they make life feel wonderful.
@@CosmicTechASMR 🙏🙇❤️
Always grateful to Sadhguru for the way he has uplifted me and people around. Never imagined I would ever be a part of a sangha or a community but I guess grace plays a big role. Nonetheless, grateful to Hatha yoga teachers and the Isha content creators for constantly posting and creating videos, reels, images to somehow make a change in people's lives. Thanks to both of you from heart for making these 2 videos.
Namaskaram :)🙏
❤ Very welcome!
Yes! Community!
This episode was very touching. Having a sense of community and hearing different sharings about these topics is refreshing. It has helped me reflect on different struggles of mine. Thank you !

What a great dialogue, relatable and genuine. I send many blessings and loads of goodness to all your projects. Let's change the world one conversation, one step and one breath at a time. Greetings from Finland, Maria 💕
Thank you Maria!
Immersed in both videos. Feeling spacious. Engagement inspired. 🙏

It was very valuable indeed. Thank you for the candid conversation reminding us to appreciate the Guru from a distance and be His limbs and bring solutions to the world with our attention and actions, while He gets a much needed chance to recuperate and restore!

@@karthyenisridaran6220 Thank you for your support! ❤️❤️❤️
He we go again🎉 all l can say is that sometimes the people around you won't understand your journey, they don't need to it's not for them
Absolutely love the honesty! What an amazing journey, so glad it's been shared. It's nice to hear a real story. Namaskaram to both of you
Thank you. Both of you. I have autism. My nervous system, cognition, thinking patterns are a little different from average. I would not disclose this information to the Shambhavi teacher or volunteers in 2017 but they knew or sensed something was a bit odd during my training. While others in our group of 50 paired off or collected into groups during small amounts of downtime, I was in the corner alone. That was embarrassing because I didn't know what to do or say. I was also at peace knowing it was nothing personal. I found I felt better overall when I did the practice and was hooked on "another experience" and thought of Bhava Spandana 2017 in Tennessee with SadHguru. What was it that Bhava Spandana or meeting Sadhguru might give or show me? Another experience of something beyond when I can hardly stand to be in social groups? Did I miss out because I decided it was best for my experience to nurture the little seed given me with Shambhavi? I can "feel" to SadHGuru in the practice itself. I continued practice through the pandemic in isolation. Followed Ramana Maharshi teachings that seeking the next experience is human. The desire to have, feel, know more and when you reach a certain level it was always right there inside you. Just for me, I found Shambhavi brilliant because the process itself is getting one ready to take the next step when they are ready. I have autism and I am amazed at the people talk talk talk but don't do the practice Isha teachers and SadhGuru gave. Their time and attention for me to learn something that could help make my life better. They can never get that back, the time and energy they put into my training. My parents put me in martial arts at an early age and I had to wait until 2024 but the next step for me was angamardena. I live at a Yogananda ashram community. Grieving you may never meet SadhGuru is like those who Grieve they never met Yogananda. Both are there in the practices they instructed and handed down. How fortunate we are to live in an age where we didn't have to go to India to learn something so special and sacred. The work, the practice, the doing. That is up to us. Thank you for reminding me where focus goes, energy flows. Algorithms on TH-cam can wind up in dark places and my seed bent into a crooked tree viewing bad energy TH-cam American political opinions and exclusion rights for others. Elections are coming and when I see a TH-cam commercial of a US presidential hopeful whose policy is to exclude others, I remember only "I" can be responsible for the change I hope to see in the world. Inclusion is the only way forward for children of tomorrow. Thanks again.
You're very welcome and thanks for sharing your story here ❤️
Thank you for this second episode. The practices - Shambavi and other advanced kriyas, the Isha Hatha Yoga ones, are all amazing and working for me too, I've tested them over and over for more than 7 years now. However, the insight into the mystical experiences was yet another level. Such experiences are indescribable but at least people find out about the possibility of seeing beyond the veil without rushing to the mushroom shop or planning an ayahuasca trip .
Thank you. I love Sadhguru and get tired of people distrusting him. He has helped me immensely and so have you. ❤️
I love your honesty and authenticity…I did feel the same about Sadhguru when I discovered him a few years ago…started to doubt him when the rock star appearances and celebrity inclusions started to manifest…you have started my path back to his wisdom…wish I had known him before the social media explosion…but then again,how could I?TH-cam is my only social media indiscretion…have deleted all the others and am blessed to have discovered your channel…thank you…🙏
Blessed to have you here with us!
@@TwistedReality108 am so happy to have discovered your channel…🙏
😃🙏 Thanks guys. Great talk...
I can understand reaching many people while sharing about the possibility of a different, whole life experience seems like something to strive for. However, even if only one individual is touched so deeply that it motivates to leave the cult of cynicism and to try to start experiencing the Truth of existence, the whole effort was worthwhile.
Joy above perfection !
Great Reminder! Thank you for that ❤
Can't wait for #3! You're putting great energy into the universe, Love
You're welcome! And thanks for your support 🙏🏼
Thank you so much for sharing this valuable wisdom that you gathered
You're welcome! And thanks for your support 🙏🏼
Thank you very much. I did think that I would be missing my chance in this life to grow spiritually if I never have the chance to be in the presence of Sadhguru.
What both of you shared gave me a better perspective about my own responsibility towards my own growth.
Namaskaram 🙏
@@El_Diavolo Yes, yes & yes ❤️🙏🙇🙇🙇 so glad this helped
Comunity!!!!! Yesssss! I don't feel lonely but to share thoughts, experiences and love is a deep desire. Being a real Christian for 45 years I finally gave up searching for All the promises the bible gives. But I found it anew in doing some simple practises on the Sadhguru App. I never felt so deeply happy in my life. I am almost 70years old and I would be more than thankful to meet people on the same path!!!!
Thank you both for sharing and this call for community!
I really appreciate the depth and seriousness of these conversations. Listening to Joshua's life experiences and spiritual journeys has cast so much light on the nature of a spiritual life and what is involved in following a serious spiritual path. I have learnt a lot about my own life and nature from listening to these talks,
I loved both of these interviews! Thank you for this posting! I appreciate the honesty, Joshua brought, his insights, and experiences with what was learned along the journey! I am encouraged by the questions and responses! I recently stumbled across Sadhguru and am enjoying the Inner Engineering book and course. I have found the initial practices of Isha Kriya and some of the other Yoga practices help me manage my emotions and set a tone for my day. I have more clarity and calmness in my personal and professional life. Keep the interviews going!
You're welcome! And thanks for your support 🙏🏼
Enjoyed this, community 🙏

An experience was had and Oneness became the finally clear reality which drew this what was left into thinking about Meditation being a good idea to learn.
What is....I....returned but now there was awareness that the veil between the..I..and the all was very thin.
Personally I have recently met Sadhguru on here and recognise my personal experiences in the conversations so there is just isness and 'other' is a fallacy as there is no other as in our deepest inner layer we share all the same mind and spirit.
Humanity and all of the Universe is all Oneness.
As a shorter term Sadhguru follower (4 years) who has participated and volunteered at various current ISHA programs, could relate to a lot of what Joshua and Stefan shared. Having seen so many participants raising hands in these programs to share and ask personal questions, think there potentially needs to be a forum for sharing of one”s Sadhana journey like Joshua did and asking questions in the group when stuck or when one starts dropping practices. Some of this is happening in the post-program What”s APP groups but it could be expanded.
I am endlessly fascinated by everything Sadhguru, and hearing from people whose lives he has touched. I do hope we are living in a time where we are becoming more conscious and "inclusive". Thank you for sharing your experience.
Thanks for taking the time to watch and share your thoughts here!
Namaskaram. Thank you so much for these beautiful 2 parts. It helped me to settle few things within myself. I bow down to both of you. 🙏
You're welcome! And thanks for your support 🙏🏼
I’m glad to hear the quality of life is better. The “I don’t know” path is definitely one type of path to take.
Namaste! Looking forward to this! ❤️💙💚💛💜
It's finally here!

Community Community Community!!
For me, I missed that sangha after my Shambhavi last year. And I want people to have that support being a new meditator when old things are starting to stir up inside them. I want to do my part however little it might contribute.
More power to you both and everyone who supported in any way to make this video possible.
Thank you🙏🙏
It's wonderful to hear your experience! Thanks for being here 🫶🏽
I said it about part one and I’ll say it again about part two it is just so wonderful to hear from someone that has spent time with Sadhguru! Thank you so much plenty of💖🙏
You're welcome!
I feel Sadhguru reaches me too as one person said of his energies and your video s are another moment of that. Usually I hang up once marketing comes up. But I am curious as I feel a connection I think knowing nothing of the financial realities. I m a senior with lots of hatha and many moments beyond ordinary life. Lately it seems it’s way easier to organize my understandings - greek turns to English. So yes go for whatever puts it out here. I m in.
Both are so relatable in both videos especially Joshua's that I was all ears 🙏😃 The talks hit home and are so interesting to me. Thank you.
Like Joshua, my family is Christian and I'm on my 6 yrs journey with Sadhguru and been doing my sadhanas daily and have to admit they work and my life has better clarity and more pleasantries than before this path 🙏 I teared up when Joshua said he doesn't know anything. Doh
Thank you for this. I could really relate to Joshua!
Namaskaram. At 74, my age and physical condition rule out stays at the ashram, despite the fact that I’ve wanted to have that experience. Thus, your stories are informative and inspiring to me. Please do more.
On the point about marketing, Sadhguru has plainly said many times that it is his goal to reach everyone on the planet. I think we understand that this is no idle dream, but one for which he’s giving it all he’s got. Outreach is clearly called for. Enter marketing. The fact that Isha does marketing exceptionally well is nothing short of phenomenal. It's working.
Finally, for those who may have even a small sense of the immensity that the being known as Sadhguru is, this sharing is precious. It’s a little like listening to someone who was in the room when Leonardo painted the Mona Lisa, or who stood watch while Thomas Jefferson wrote the Declaration of Independence describe his experience. Gentlemen, I thank you.
Thank you for putting in the effort to support us here!
@@TwistedReality108 My pleasure entirely. Happy Independence Day, Bharat!
@@professor1647 Happy Independence Day!!!
thank you for your sharing
When we are young snd healthy we live in a horizonless reality. When we suddenly face Death we are suddenly aware there is a real horizon which there after we are always aware of.
Unlike before the near death event where we are unaware of the Horizon in the same way.
Very much enjoyed part 1
Thank you for sharing your wisdom. You may feel it’s just two dudes chatting on the interwebs, but as you stated, there is very little discourse that isn’t emotionally charged. It’s so refreshing to hear discussions like this one.
Awesome podcast. Thoroughly enjoyed every bit of it.
Glad to hear 🙏🏼
Yes having community will be good because sometime we get lost with people who are around us wtih whom we cannot share .
Thank you for this valuable podcast I just noticed joshua laughs a little like Sadhguru with his whole body
Thankyou for having and sharing these conversations 🙏🙏🙏

So i was struggling hard and extremely bored i meditate and everything you can think of i pass my time with very good things to do like exercise, reading , watching educational things on TH-cam anytime i felt bored to deal with my boredom and depression of being stuck in a city I hate…. Yesterday i saw a video saying just be bored and take a breath …. Tried it today and it fixed everything i was dealing with LOLOLOL. WILD!!!
Busyness is lazyness!
Meditation is not doing something. It's opposite of activity. And we are all so activity driven. So when you go for non activity then you will struggle. That's exactly why many people don't try meditation and even if they do then they don't find it something interesting enough to continue.
Thank you so much for sharing your precious time with/for us, Stevan and Josh. 🌠 We so much need to see such messages about life on social medias. 🌸🌿LIFE CAN BE SO BEAUTIFUL IF ONLY WE CAN SEE IT. 🌸🌿Let's create a conscious planet, a world full of light, love and laughter!
There is one thing you talked about in this video, which is comparison. And it's something I notice a lot among meditators... You explained many things about it and through this comment I really wanted to insist on that point. When we know how unique each life is, there is really no reason to compare with each others. What we experience with a practice or a process will also be unique. I see so many meditators struggling because they think they missed something because someone else experienced the program in another way. If it happens to you, remind yourself how unique your life has been... you could simply not experience it as anyone else. Just enjoy what you're experiencing and trust your Life, Your Self. LOVE ❤
Hey Pascale! Thanks for your feedback. Yes you are right in both Podcast we did our best to talk about not comparing ourselves with others, I am sorry to hear that you felt that it was still present. Whatever comparisons we have made was to make a point about not doing it - about not trying to live the life of someone else or wait for something to happen to start applying things to our own life.
@@TwistedReality108 I'm sorry Stevan. Just wanted to say that it was good that you mentioned it... And wanted to insist on it too for whoever was reading the comment... 🙈 Did not formulate it in a clear way obviously. Sorry for the misunderstanding.
It was amazing
Thanks for watching!
After continuing to listen. I do have a good place to live in kinda community. Ready to go. Also fitting to the save the soil idea😊.
In case, interested the author might get in touch with me personally.
@@ingmarlang9928 get in touch about?
@@TwistedReality108
Respect,
Thanks for getting back to me that fast. My name is Ingmar, what's yours pls? Tell me please to whom I'm corresponding to here.
As I mentioned, I do live at a gorgeous place and want to share and give some selected good people the opportunity to live here on my place as well. Might be on a short trip, up to lifetime, depends on the personal decisions of the individuals.
It's a small piece of land (46 ha about 280 acres) with lots of potential and positive energy.
It's located in Patagonia, Chile.
I do not want to bother you in this first direct email. It's a long story...
My path in this life had , as many other paths of beings on this earth right now many changes and windings, but to make it short. I used to work on the realization of a place for my huge family with 10 kids, and got separated two Years ago.
6 months ago my ex moved away from this farm and I returned after a physical absence.
When I left, the new self built huge house was almost ready to move in.
Now I am living alone here with a couple of cats and dogs and animals from my neighbors. The place is a ready and proved kind of self sufficiency eco farm. I know how to cultivate and treat soil.
After some important moves regarding my spiritual development I came to the decision that I should give some other people as well the opportunity to get away from places not so proper regarding there environmental circumstances especially regarding the physical changes the world is going through right now and in short term future.
That's it for the moment.
My ego wishes are:
Help others
Get companionship and exchange on my personal path
Receive any kind of contribution to pay my personal bills
I lived for 58 years until now, so do have a lot of experience and memories, but on the other hand feel like a empty book that needs to be everyday written freshly.
Hope this wasn't too much of text.
Looking forward to any kind of response.
Love
Thank you for the podcast, I really enjoyed it!
Glad you enjoyed it!
