For the Love of Yoga with Nish the Fish
Nishanth Selvalingam
The world of Yoga is wide and varied. In this podcast, yogi Nish the Fish shares the deeper dimensions of Yoga, Vedanta and Tantra, asking the big questions: why do we practice? What is meditation? What is the purpose of a human life? What is Beauty? What is Death? Nishanth Selvalingam studied various South Asian philosophies with his Shaivite grandfather in an ashram in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia and moved to Los Angeles to study philosophy, teach yoga and play guitar in a rock band. Join him and special guests as they explore Yoga, in all its splendours.

Reincarnation (Part 1)
Reincarnation is a fundamental feature in many Eastern schools of thought and is significant in Christian mysticism as well as in many cultures around the world. Each of us asks the question, "what carries forward after this body dies?" In Part 1, we discuss what makes a scientific theory good in order to present Reincarnation as a rational theory. Since every theory is just a metaphor for Reality (the map is never the territory), we explore what Reincarnation can do for us with regards to understanding the forces at work in our Being. What is it exactly that reincarnates? How can this theory help us in our spiritual practice?

Romantic Relationships as Spiritual Practice
What is Love? What is Romantic Love? And what role do these intimate relationships have to play in our spiritual lives? Today we discuss how our culture primes us to "fall" in love without ever teaching us how to BE in Love. We explore the common failings and disappointments in this domain of life and cap it off with a discussion of Bhakti Yoga and how to spiritualize our intimate relationships.
