Hosts Nataraj Chaitanya and Vishnudev sit down with Jayden Turner and Leah Hamlet, residents of Trika Kula, to explore how Vedic meditation, tantric puja, somatic movement, and daily yogic practice shape life in a modern spiritual community.

They speak honestly about intimacy, conflict, devotion, and grace—how practice reveals essential nature, forces hard conversations, and brings unexpected support. Tune in to hear how ritual, service, and shared life create transformation.

In this episode of Wisdom, Tantra, Freedom, hosts Nataraj Chaitanya and Vishnudev explore Shiva as consciousness through mantra, japa, and devotion, preparing for Maha Shivaratri. They share personal stories, teachings from Siddha and Kashmiri saints, and practical guidance on how mantra and sadhana help transform grief, destruction, and everyday life.

Listeners can expect reflections on the five acts of Shiva, the union of Shiva and Shakti, and the power of Om Namah Shivaya.

Nataraj Chaitanya and Vishnudev return from a transformative, wonderful, turbulent, and enlivening pilgrimage through India’s most potent spiritual sites — Ganeshpuri, Tamil Nadu, Kolkata, and Kamakhya — sharing raw stories of grief, devotion, and the fierce grace of the Goddess. They describe intense pujas, deity darshan, ritual sacrifices, and how living in a yogabhumi accelerated deep inner work.

Along the way they announce the reopening of Trika Kula as an ashram, and reflect on how pilgrimage, community, and lineage have shifted their practice and capacity to love and surrender.
