About Maharishikaa:
Aaryaa Maharishikaa Preeti Maiyaa, is a revolutionary female mystic who fearlessly dares to demystify spirituality in her unrelenting call to realize Self, and act from Source.
At the cutting edge of the trajectory of human transformation, Maharishikaa Preeti’s profound teachings about Self-realization have shown countless individuals how to measurably reduce suffering by directly connecting to the Soul within.
In happenings called PRESENCE, the Maharishikaa brings processes that reveal to seekers how to act from the Soul’s impulse rather than from the command of the ego. Thus seekers turn into finders who concretely experience the joyousness in being alive.
An award-winning film maker, she is also known for her controversial conceptual art project ArtBeings, and her design of the talismanic PreetiMirror.
In India, she is addressed with the title of Maharishikaa, Sanskrit for great seer and knower - in female form.
Preeti, the name she was given at birth, is Sanskrit for love.

Exactly, any so-called consciousness-expanding drugs merely lead away from oneself. But the truth lies within oneself and the key is surrender.
Surrender, not an easy path.
It really struck me when Maharishikaa spoke about how once you've had a cosmic experience, you will always be searching for it here and will never, ever be able to find it. I always thought that state of consciousness was something I would reach again if I was totally pure and had offered myself completely. It is such a relief to live my life now, not constantly searching for something outside my material existence and subsequently feeling like I have failed God.
❤
still remember that moment, the energy of her presence in the room, her eyes, her words! i was deeply touched how Maiyaa always talks without any shred of prejudice or shame and creates space! have never witnessed firmness & compassionate love at the same time.. that guy had some other interesting questions as well & Maiyaa addressed all in such depth, clarity & in a way that brings relief! Jay Maharishikaa! immense gratitude! only 💛
This answer gave me such immense clarity about what drugs do rather than oh it is bad to do drugs! I am sure this will help a lot of people to discern what drugs actually do.
These medicines seem to be a shortcut to the Truth but with no sustainability. I love what Maharishikaa says: "If you’re in this body then the experience of the perception must happen through the body, here and now".
I understand what she is saying, and she is speaking from her tradition. but wonder if she is speaking from experience with plant medicine. I did psilocybin and I had a life transforming experience. it showed me my own death, grieve for my mother and left me with a overwhelming sense of love. It gave me years, even decades worth of insight that positively benefited my life. I think the point is not to be “spaced out” all the time but use these medicines in selective, respectful therapeutic ways and then integrate the knowledge back into your daily life.
I think it is okay to do some drugs. I like smoking weed from time to time and it does help me to connect with my heart space so much easier. Instantly actually. Of course it is important to connect with your soul without drugs as well. Both. And not only high. You are right, integrating the knowledge in your sober life should be essential
might be that you could live a life of full surrender and experience these important insights naturally! We are living so much artificial lifes, that we need shortcuts of medicine. But a fully lived life will give you all that you need without compromising consciousness and health.
@@AyniArkana-st6bkeasy to comment about on TH-cam when you have zero experience of that person's life.
Might be you could walk everywhere you go. Have strong legs. Strong lungs. Get there naturally.
But instead you ride motor vehicles and possibly even airplanes. An airline flight is completely unnatural for the human system. Yet millions do it every single day, because it's faster.
Yeah it immediately struck me that this is someone who has never taken a psychedelic. They literally make you face the hardest truths of your human life here and now, yet she’s describing it as though they help you “escape” into some fantasy, like they were alcohol or something
I sense that it is all being taken out of context of what Maharishika has said. And I can speak from experience that it can only help you so much because yes, the idea is to ground the consciousness into our physical vessel to live "heaven on earth" and for that we need the body to be in a state of good health and surrender. Surrender As in surrender to the truth, to our true nature.
As she said, if you partake in ceremonies then you do it with total conviction just like the true shamans do and serve and assist them whilst you learn from them.. that is a type of Sadhana and you won't see that anywhere as there are so many shaman "facilitators" everywhere and only a percentage that have gone through the process over long periods of time with the original shamans and have integrated the wholeness of the sacred practice..... There is much more to the ceremonies that the original tribes do through sacred rituals and conversations in unity with the tribe on a daily basis so everyone is in unison and the inner work is continuous.
To be truly enlightened, like Mahashirika said, one wouldn't like it to be totally surrendered from an egoic pint of view...and she is totally correct that the way it is going is that we will have to ground that consciousness into the body...(that has to be at its optimum or one can just burn away as it won't be able to hold it.)....so ground that pure consciousness into the body and therefore be fully awakened and operative through our physical body in BEING.
A lot do not get this and I have no judgement or remorse for plant medicines, they really do help and they would help if it is done right and in the sacred way the indigenous tribes have practiced for milenia.
I totally respect the medicines as I have seen how they can be easily mistaken and "misused" without the person knowing because of the initial mind blowing transformations that they have had.
All is good. Yes I agree too that they help people, it's helped me but the real inner grounding work still needs to be done in order that our Human potential as Spiritual Beings having a human experience can be fully embraced and integrated....and whwre we truly connect with being an image of the Creator and the Created.
Aum, Ashé, Satnam....
In La'k 'ech 🙏🏾🌀🌎♥️
Oh, I so much love this remark at the end that makes everyone chuckle! A serious topic, cleary explained - and it ends with a smile. Beautiful.
Such a “trendy” thing amongst spiritually geared people, to want to try shamanic processes and medicine to experience something and have a “trip” in the spiritual world. It’s a totally different point of view to hear about what a person actually has to lose, to have those experiences. And to hear about Shamanic framework also including principles of Guru Shishya exchanges. And how the missing piece or key is again Surrender. I love how Maharishikaa is never judging or moralistic, but clear, loving and opens up understandings of spiritual experiences through drugs, in a whole new way.
Not everyone does it for a trip.
And those who do, normally 'pay the price' .
very impressed by the clear answer to the consequences for people who are looking for something they think they can find in drugs of any kind.
Absolutely amazing
Brilliant Maiyaa. Your words are pure gold and rare diamonds. Thankyou thankyou thankyou. 🌹🙏🙏
I like when she said: "you are not sick, you don't need medecines" at the end of the video. While other master of the neo-advaïtins like Mooji is saying that you need to be cure from your Ego, Maharishikaa clairly said the opposite and once again put some clarity into this insanity of the neo-advaïtins. Hands down!
paradoxical unity
apparent duality
She is such a gem… bless her heart and soul… so happy to come across her teaching ❤️❤️❤️❤️🌹🌹🌹🌹
No matter what, I feel only Truth being shared, without any judgment. What one does with it is completely up to them. There is a process and protocol to things. This was very helpful for me because I realized that my yearning to do ahyahuasca was out of impatience and despair to release pain and find the Truth. This practice she teaches requires patience and courage and this feels right for me. Thank you Maharishikaa ❤️
Wow she explains so well and is genuinely looking out for seekers.
I feel what is most important about plant medicine is the integration period and really letting the plants be the elders who are guiding you back to you. Always pointing back to the truth that it is all inside of you. If you are not surrendering to the teachings of the plants then you not getting the full benefits of the medicine. The plants teach boundaries, which exist within the body. embodying the integration is always the key. But not all will take the path of deep embodiment.
I spent 11 years integrating and embodying the medicine of one Ayahuasca ceremony.
It’s all about listening to the body and its pace of integrating.
Plant medicine is very important at this time of evolution. We (as a collective) are learning how to work with it for the sake of presence.
I agree with various other comments and cannot improve upon the same. Clarity and conciseness of Maiyya's Explanations is Exceptional. 😊🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
All of the younger generations who dream of going to the Amazon in order to find something beyond themselves through power plants and shamans should read Carlos Casteneda's stories with special emphasis on his relationship with Don Juan Mateus. One of his principal teachings concerns "self importance". Westerners are very attached to their own personal psychologies and expect listeners to be intrigued in those reflections. But it is like relating a dream. No-one is ever interested in hearing about another's dream and they only listen out of politeness. It is a kind of V.I.P mentality and a search for someone who will understand them and see their specialness, especially their special suffering. One time Carlos asked Don Juan if his other apprentices used power plants and he replied no. Then why did you give them to me then? Carlos asked. Because you are dumb, he replied.
Many anthropologists and other experts have agreed that Carlos' publications are fictional.
That story cracks me up. I have a picture of poor Carlos spinning out of control, but looking goofed out, as the sober minded Shaman and his apprentices look at him with amusement for their forest case study😊
Great way of putting ur, so true
Power full statement and also soft. Thank you for the clear words they are stronger than any medicine in my opinion. Feels like surrender is the wright thing to do. Love to all
Thank you! 🙏🏼 I've realized in the last year a lot of what she is touching upon, and that's how I knew that what I'm looking for is a sustained experience of Truth which we have access to without the need for anything outside of our natural system.
my son had anorexia and he took some lsd (recreationally). After that he stopped having an eating disorder and is now recovering.
Woooooowwww THIS
The body is not the enemy.
amazing!
Its different cultures… if we do it with true Shamans it’s something God gives… with Love❤
I think his ego is already addicted to the spiritual experiences and awakened concepts he has been buying from the Shamans. I liked how she pointed out the difference between years of serving a Shaman as a student or disciple, and simply buying drugs from him for experiences.
if it's "my" experience, it's the ego at play.. he doesn't want to serve a shaman
You make so much sense Maharishikaa 🙏
I’m not sure why he is asking for your blessings when your teachings is about fully embodying the physical instrument 🤷🏻♀️☺️
I couldn’t take any transcendental medicines even if I was curious - I prefer my feeling of presence here now ❤️🥰😉
She is amazing! ❤
In my understanding from what Maharishikaa points to is that anything which leads to less corporeality of the system will not be holistic. Even my using cannabis has had to slowly go down until fully stopped only recently and although theres less excitement atm .. through the surrender to the Soul, i get such a good feeling about it and this helps me to not look for the next thing but to stay put and trust the process
Wunderbar ❤
Wow strong
Hi
The intro with images of India, the sound of conch and the mirror is so special.
What is the meaning of the beautiful mirror ?
Hey @Lu S. You can find more info on the Mirror, known as the PreetiMirror in this link: maharishikaa.org/preetimirror.html
It truly is very special! ❤️
Pranam
Yes bending down and surrender!
The ego is not allowing this gentleman to surrender
such a subtle ego
It’s like anything else, not everything is suitable for everyone.
There might be those who really understand the tools of Plant Medicine who might explain these tools in a very divine and conscious way.

\i took ayahuasca a few times... because it came naturally on my path... and then someone took me.. and i wasn't bothered.. no need I said. That was the first time i paid for the experience.. and the first time i threw up like this guy did. And they were telling me.. oh, you are purging the negative.... but i was just vomitting. People keep wanting to take ayahuasca again and again.. but there is no need.. because once is enough.. you get a message.. and you follow... If you go back for the message again and again.. what use is the message. It becomes a habit... addiction to outer-body experience. She speaks very well.. and he should be happy to have such a nice guru. He has no need .. yes, to go for the shallow experience.
There are different stages of the medicine. In ceremony, there can be several medicines. Ayahuasca has different lessons, some very personal, and some ultimate. It can show you the dirt of your body and ego, but it does require surrender. I hope everyone gets to see that. But the return to body can be missing. With other medicines, the return to body can bring home the lesson - you are here, right now, in this body. And if you're very lucky, you will awaken long into the sober state to experience the ever present love and synchronicity that our 5 senses can "see". But to her point, yes, if you look around the medicine crowd, there are some people who feel distant as if they are communicating to you from another timezone. I do think there is a point where you can over-do it, where you are using medicine for help but not surrendering, which puts you on the ego's merry-go-round.
This is the best explanation I've read in these comments.
One of my most intense plant medicine experiences had me on my knees, forehead to the ground, repeating "I give up. Use me. I'm your instrument."
@@jake.presentsok, but you have to take that with you everyday. That’s the whole point
What effect does plant medicine, lsd have on your physical body, physical strength, brain cells, stamina, ability to be in public, these are how I will gauge gains vs losses!! If long term health is in doubt, I will not do it. Spiritual stamina must be earned in everyday existence
spiritual stamina, wow 🤩
He’s already SO spaced out.
indeed... he's so so far away
His ego wanted her blessing (because he'd planned to do more)
If he would do more, then he'd have to manage the rejection of her blessing 😅
He's not THAT spaced out. If you think he is you have little exposure to the psychonauts out there. He's still relatively grounded. Calling shots from a plateau of judgement is not very grounded either. A different type of spaced out. Come on back down.
@@mementoanimahe's close enough to inquire and recognize his need for something different. His insight is fairly good.
🙏🌹🌺🌼🌸☘🙏🌹🌹🙏🙏🙏
Expedient means....
Spoken from non experience, the substance put on trauma, not necessarily, or cause dissociation, no, not necessarily.
What a teacher says of the cases, that come to her for help or clarify their confusion isn't, aren't necessarily representative..
Yeah it can be stressful, or not, it's like an amplifying or opening tool, it can be used balanced or not, little easy amounts, or getting kinda messed up.. but can all be recovered, it also shows no toxicity on the body unlike alcohol.
I think meditation, dream sleep yoga, is better and healthier and brings more peace etc. more balanced than all that shamanism nuttyness.
But a bit can be helpful every now and then, and may not cause dissociation at all in my view,
and many westerners are not disciplined enough to start sober practice, and wouldn't have gone started without a blast from the past. But regular use without sober practice may cause more delusion, sure.
But you could already tell what she was going to say before watching the video, the yoga saddhana practicioners would never say ah yes take some.
Exactly.
Most of the the commenters agreeing, it's obvious they're Easterners. They've probably never touched alcohol & tobacco, and have zero concept nor experience of the challenges in detaching from chemicals.
I wonder what her thoughts are on cannabis.
No attachment to enlightenment, no attachment to any experience.
Never ask a person who is not experienced. You will allways get the same answer.
Unfortunately it's allways the same missunderstanding out of not knowing (but believing to know.)
From the outside it seems as if its a seperation from the system and an escape into the transzendental, and yes: It CAN be.
But it can also reconnect with the system more deeply, besides all the other effects.
It depends on the intention of the person and how he/she integrates what was revealed.
Hopefully the young man won't be to dependend from the outside guru, and will find out himself.
Surreder to God not to Soul, Soul is not God.Soul is you, do you want to surreder to yourself?
I don't agree with any of this other than if you frequent pschyo actives to much you can become detached to much of anything is a bad thing .The majority of the masses have archon attachments and do not know and this method can purge these parasites as it did me .And on other occasions having an obe will go down as being one of the most exillerating experiences I've ever done.Since then I have activated every chakra and people are dumbfounded by the sun disc of ra and other things over the top of my head .I can honestly say that if I hadn't used psycho actives as a primer I wouldn't have reached this level of consciousness but I emphasise the word primer old mate here looks like he's pushed it a bit too far
hawaiian baby woodrose seeds gave me a temporary kundalini awakening and a taste of samadhi, permanently pried open my third eye, and gave me several siddhis. at the same time, taking various psychedelics over a period of just 5 years has definitely damaged my brain and made me spaced out, just like maharishikaa said. especially when actively taking them, i am ineffective if not totally incompetent at living sober life. another issue is the paradoxical combination of subtle spiritual pride with a feeling of unworthiness at having acquired these unearned spirit gifts. these are both much greater obstacles on the path than one might imagine. i'm still not sure whether it was a good idea to take them.
I appreciate this rather conservative stance on and critique of the psychedelic route to enlightenment. But I can’t say I fully agree, and I also feel she didn’t really answer. At no point was he asking for her blessing.
she asks at one point “I’m enlightened and now what?”
Well, I’m on a sacred medicine journey and it’s so beautiful and the “drugs” have taught me so much.
They have not only given me transcendental experiences but also shown me practical guidance , I’ve never been more clear about what the path I want to take in life and have never been more confident about it.
It’s not perfect but at least I’m more in touch with my heart, my gut instincts and intuitions.
As a consequence I’m way more sure about the services I provide in my spiritual community and I have increased them.
I’ve never felt more motivated to practice meditation, learn about spiritual practices and I’ve never understood better the benefits of practicing meditation regularly.
I love Centering myself and grounding myself, and practicing being present just as much as I love exploring the vast dimensions of consciousness once in a while.
Psilocybin is also very promising for my adhd, my mind has improved greatly, I finally feel that I can live up to my highest potential mentally.
As for the body, I continue to swim, run, ride, go to the gym and I’ve never been more consistent in building up a strong and healthy body.
I have to admit I was lucky enough to have found and devoted myself to a lifesaving spiritual program that keeps me humble and growing as a person.
But I really do believe that the sacred medicines like aya, bufo, mushrooms,
San Pedro can be powerful tools for spiritual growth and maturity.
( He actually did ask for her blessing )
2:42 he asks for her blessing, literally
While I agree with everything that was said on this video, it really breaks my heart to hear the word "drug" linked to a Sacred plant. Plants of Power were brought into Earth by higher realms to help us evolve as a collective, these are not "drugs" at all, are Natural daughters of Mother Earth and deserve respect.
@BorneoCicada The word drug is being used in a context where the people who take these plant medicines, take them more as a ‘drug’ than a holistic life of surrender, and that’s the context in which it’s used here
Rich parents boy is lost
I'm not sure she really understands the essence of Abrahamic traditions. Surrender is THE vital ingredient and teaching.
Zombies that cannot deal with reality. Now the ayuaska has your soul, zombie boy
I had it and in my trip i saw green hand that was shaking at me and said you shouldnt do it and started telling me that i have to practice my religion and said everything will be green at the end .. now i understand these green energy trends
