Stewart Gilchrist | Hinduism, The Eternal Truth & What Yoga Is Not | S3 Ep4

“If you get rid of what you’re not you suss out what you are. Whatever you’re left with is you. And it’s the same with meditation.”

Another mind-stretching conversation with teacher and spiritual friend Stewart Gilchrist. We recorded this in Rishikesh during Stew's retreat and it is such a joy and privilege to share it with you.

We cover a lot of terrain in this packed episode. Here’s a peek:

➖ Hinduism and Hindutvas

➖Santana Dharma or the Eternal Truth and understanding the ancient aspects of yoga

➖Why people do yoga to get fit and what they're missing

➖What will be the saviour of modern yoga

➖Neti Neti and meditation

➖Understanding the kleshas, particularly abhinevesha

➖The Guru Shishya relationship

➖Mooladhara and communitarianism

And ultimately our conversation revolves around getting in touch with your true Self, the eternal truth.

I told Stew I intended to get to the real essence of yoga in this conversation and I think we reached there. Enjoy friends!

In oneness,
