Pip: There’s a question that’s been asked for thousands of years, and Dippack Mistri just sat down and wrote about it like it was the most natural thing in the world — which, depending on your answer, it might be.

Who Am I
Sri Bhagavan Ramana Maharshi revealed, ‘WHO AM I?’ The gross body (Anamaya kosha), which is composed of the seven humours (dhatus: chyle, blood, flesh, fat, bone, marrow, and semen), I am not; the five cognitive sense organs (Jnanendriyas), viz., the sense of hearing, touch, sight, taste, and smell, which apprehend their respective objects, viz., sound,Continue reading “Who Am I”
Podcast Episode: Deep Sleep and the Self | Why Consciousness Never Dies
Pip: Dippack Mistri has a question for you: what are you, exactly, when you are doing absolutely nothing and aren’t even aware of it? Mara: That’s the territory we’re in today — deep sleep as a window into consciousness, the self, and what persists when the ego goes quiet. Pip: Let’s start with what deepContinue reading “Podcast Episode: Deep Sleep and the Self | Why Consciousness Never Dies”

Podcast Episode: The Biblical “Mahavakyas” and the Vedantic Mahavakyas
Pip: If you have ever wondered whether Jesus and Shankara were basically saying the same thing and just needed a better translator, Dippack Mistri has thoughts. Mara: This episode goes deep into one piece that maps Biblical phrases onto Vedantic Mahavakyas, tracing what non-dualism looks like across two very different scriptural traditions.

The Biblical “Mahavakyas” and the Vedantic Mahavakyas
REVELATION, SRI BHAGAVAN MAHARSHI RAMANA: “All the faiths that prevail in the world affirm, to begin with, (the existence of) the world, the soul and God. The two contentions, namely that One Reality is sensed as threefold, and that they are three distinct entities, are upheld (as intellectual convictions) while the sense ‘I am theContinue reading “The Biblical “Mahavakyas” and the Vedantic Mahavakyas”
Podcast Episode: CONSCIOUSNESS EXPANSION: YOGI NIDRA
In this episode, Pip and Mara explore the concept of Consciousness Expansion through the lens of Yogi Nidra, inspired by Dippack Mistri’s vivid experience with a Himalayan sage on a terrace in Spain. They argue that what is often referred to as Consciousness Expansion is, in reality, Mental Expansion, where the true self, or Seer, remains unchanged. The discussion highlights historical precedents of similar experiences and concludes that genuine enlightenment lies in transcending the mind itself, moving towards abidance in the Self.
Podcast Episode: LIGHT OF CONSCIOUSNESS
Pip: Dippack Mistri asks the question most of us sidestep before breakfast: what exactly is the light that makes all other light possible? Mara: This episode goes deep into that territory — the nature of consciousness as the absolute foundation of reality, drawing on Advaita Vedanta, the Gayatri Mantra, and the teachings of sages likeContinue reading “Podcast Episode: LIGHT OF CONSCIOUSNESS”
Podcast Episode: CONSCIOUSNESS AND ITS BANISHMENT
Pip: Dippack Mistri has a question for neuroscience, and it is not a gentle one. Mara: Today we’re in the territory of consciousness — what it is, whether science can locate it, and what the Hindu philosophical tradition has been saying about it for centuries. One theme, one sustained argument. Pip: Let’s start with theContinue reading “Podcast Episode: CONSCIOUSNESS AND ITS BANISHMENT”
