Unscripted with Spencer Lodge

Don’t be fooled by the title of this episode – this isn’t your usual woo-woo spirituality chat. That’s because I am speaking to Master Sri Akarshana, also known as the Yogi with a Lamborghini, whose wisdom has inspired more than 35 million people across the globe. From being a hugely successful entrepreneur who became financially free at just 25 years old, Master Sri ditched the supercars, yachts, and luxury mansions and discovered his passion for helping others. His love for creating change led him to set up a charity, helping orphaned children live healthy, happy, and sustainable lives. As a disciple of the Himalayan Spiritual Master Grandmaster Akshar, he shares his thoughts on topics such as the Law of Attraction, manifestation, and practical ways to enhance one's spiritual journey. This episode offers loads of knowledge and insights that will be valuable to anyone seeking to begin or enhance their spiritual journey.
