Everything around us is vibration. Then, it is our choice to come in contact with higher quality of vibrations which can help and uplift our overall way of life. From the very beginning of my childhood, I was around an atmosphere where spiritual dimension was already adopted in all the generations – from my great-grandmother to my youngest cousin living in the family. So, born and brought up in India, one is always surrounded by this culture of Sanatan Dharma (Hindu Dharma) – surrounded by th...
We live in the world of vibration. Everything which exists around us is vibration, and those vibrations are affecting us - even when we can't perceive it, a particular vibration can affect a person's physiology and psychology. Sound is vibration and we are surrounded by various different sounds - and knowingly or unknowingly they have a certain effect on us. Some sounds have a positive effect and some not so much. So it is the sound itself which is creating a positive, less positive, or negat...

As a kid, it was like a very natural process to grow into the atmosphere of Osho. It's like, I did not know anything else except that.

And slowly-slowly everybody in the family became Sannyasin, but everybody had their voluntary decision. Whatever it is in my life, it is thanks to Osho basically. Musically, with Osho, it was a very good pla...
"It is important to bring an understanding that Mantra is not just limited to a musical format which brings you to a 'nice space,' since this format does not release its full potential. Mantra is not only what makes you come into a nice space, but it is something which can also work practically on various dimensions of one's life." "The documentary will open up on how much more Mantras have to give to people, provided that they have the right access to the information, proper understanding, p...

The tradition of Mantra is Mantra-Chanting, what is known as Mantra Japa, and Manish explains how to use it in "listening-meditation," which can be a very powerful technique to soothe the mind, remain attentive and integrate the energy within. Mostly, as we know, we live on the level of 'body and mind' and most of the energy goes into dealing with issues on these fields. So if Mantra is used in the right way, it has the capacity to take us beyond the physicality and the mental planes, to com...
Sufi music provides a space to experience closeness with divinity and love, and Sufis have always been inclined towards the musical expressions of their poetries.

Sufism is a path of love, devotion and surrend...
“The highest goal of a Yoga practitioner should be to come to a level where one is maintaining one’s balance perfectly all the time.

She’s a mentor and role model to millions of lives and has conducted more than fifty thousand powerful sessions on yog, wellness and mental health. We were fortunate ...

Ram and Sonali Banerjee are originally from India living in England and since the last seven years they have been organising the World Yoga Festival in the outskirts of London, which has been getting more and more local and international response, having become a referent in the true world of Yoga in the west. Initially they started the project just knowing that Europe needed an authentic Yoga Festival presentation, and that's how the first festival happened in the summer of 2016 and subsequ...
Music from India is a path of eternal learning. In this path the concept of "continuously learning" is one of the key aspects to understand from the beginning, before undertaking this magic journey. This is so because in Indian music we always remain a student, we never stop learning. Manish talks about the journey of learning music from India, including singing, instruments, its language, Mantra singing, and many other important dimensions: - the cultural input where the student will also ...

At the beginning, Yoga was not written down anywhere, the teachings were passed by the Guru to a disciple personally. The first books where Yoga is mentioned were the ancient Tantras and later the Vedas, then the Upanishads expanded deeper about it. Based on all this, much later Patanjali wrote the Yoga Sutras (in Sanskrit) as an eight-fold path: yama, niyama, asana, pranayama, pratyahara, dharana, dhyana, samadhi. Therefore, the meaning of yoga and the path of yoga is not what frequently ma...
