Summary
What if healing begins long before medicine reaches the body? In this episode, Dr Vignesh Devraj sits down with Guru Yogi Shivanji exploring mantra, consciousness, healing, and the relationship between the physical and subtle dimensions of our existence. Together, they discuss why Ayurveda views the mind as the bridge between the body and consciousness, the limitations of our senses, and how ancient teachings often describe reality in ways that resonate with emerging ideas in modern science. The conversation also explores the meaning of detachment, the purpose of spiritual practice, how breath influences the mind, and why many of our emotional and physical patterns begin long before symptoms appear. Rather than asking listeners to believe blindly, this episode invites us to question, observe, and experience these teachings for ourselves.
