Synopsis

All of us are used to perceiving the world around us in terms of varying objective characteristics; hard and soft, hot and cold, solid and fluid, and so on.We might even attribute subjective qualities to the world around us; hostile, inviting, harsh, comfortable…But does it make sense to attribute ‘personality’ to the world around us?In the Vedic worldview, it doesn’t just “make” sense, but it’s actually a natural consequence of the refinement of the senses that we can perceive personality in everything around us. In this episode, Thom gives us an entry-level look into the worlds of Devas. He shares a tempting glimpse into the delights that await us, especially those who maintain their regular twice-daily practice of Vedic Meditation. Episode Highlights[00:45] Deva: More Than Just Shining One[04:17] Vedic Literature and the Devas[06:35] Power of Mantras[08:55] Letting Go of External Distractions[10:38] Fascination of Subtle Mind States[12:15] Enchantment in the Super-Subtle Mind[13:57] Ritam: Transition to Pu
