The Talk Chamber

10 December 2023

Episode 8 of Season 2 of The Light Of Sirio Podcast explores the widely contemplated matter of what precisely is the difference between Spiritual ‘Awakening’, ‘Enlightenment’, and ‘Liberation’.

For those with a keen interest in Spirituality and the Self, these terms will have been thrown around perhaps haphazardly for fear of admitting a lack of understanding. The question of how they differ has likely crossed your mind, and so once again, the Light Of Sirio Podcast host Dori presents the area of concern to Master Sirio, and allows that basic understanding to flourish.

We begin with a look at the description of Spiritual Awakening as being when your perspective of reality shifts distinctly. Usually an experience incites this, not a physical experience, but a sense of an entirely new reality surrounding and embracing you. The very discussion of this explains the process from a personal angle, Master Sirio describing the intoxicating sensations of going through Spiritual Enlightenment, and how it feels to step out into the world afterwards.

The conversation soon shifts to Buddha, his existential awakening, and extends to God and the world at large, before returning to the individual journey – all the while detailing stories, scenes and images that help gain clarity and recognition around the truth.

Master Sirio describes the process of leaving the body, feeling the blessing and bliss of witnessing life from a greater plain, and does so in a way that makes it feel wholly accessible, possible, and relevant to each and every one of us willing to believe.

Dori later asks, ‘if there is no beginning and no end, only an infinite cycle, how can spiritual liberation bring an end to the current perspective and experience?’ Master Sirio’s humility meets with his willingness to understand and consistently improve, as he relays the readings that taught him the true process of existing as part of a never-ending cycle of shared living. We move from the astral plains to the divine to pure spirit, and realize the importance of the self and of truth, even in such a vast and ever-shifting landscape of being.

Master Sirio uses analogy to compare the Master’s experience with that of a singer, requiring the support of a band, a marketing realm, an audience, in order to function and work and achieve the true peaks of their role. He remarks that those who become famous are not necessarily better than others, but have good strategies and a good network and staff supporting them. Once again, the lessons revealed within The Light Of Sirio Podcast are easily relatable for people from any and all walks of life. It’s a refreshing and welcoming approach, which consistently opens the listener’s eyes to the truth and realities of our world.

Finally, the episode asks about consciousness, physical memories and personal connections – will these be retained once we depart the earthly plain. Do we stay connected? Master Sirio promises; “Definitely, we stay connected.” Delve into the episode in full to hear the depths of this comforting and inspiring answer.

Arguably the most informative, honest and engaging Spiritual Podcast around, uniting the intricacies of regular civilian life with the knowledge and experiences of the Spiritual Master, The Light Of Sirio continues to bridge the gaps between the physical and spiritual realms.

What is free will? Does free will truly exist? What is kryaman karma and where does karma come from? Season 2 of The Light Of Sirio Spiritual Podcast explores the answers to these questions through another insightful Q&A with Master Sirio.

The inner spiritual journey of the soul, the waking world and spiritual liberation – deeper topics of humanity that intrigue almost all of us at some time or another. These talks with a realized Master on Life, Love and Spirituality help you feel inspired, comforted, and able to connect with your own spirituality, and increase your understanding of the self and your role within this world.

Beginning with an imagery-laden, metaphorical and literal reading from host Dori, The Free Will episode of The Light Of Sirio Podcast presents a sense of self-awareness and conscious contemplation of both darkness and light along the decision-making process of life. This opening segment brings versatility in the podcast, laying bare the interest of today’s topic, before presenting questions to Master Sirio.

Master Sirio returns to his youth in discussing the comfort of understanding; and the confusion of not yet knowing the right path. The talk moves from genetics to cultural teachings, family and parents, our inert and learned sense of self, and the impact of our undeniable heritage. These personal revelations help further bridge the gap between the Master and his audience, and lay a foundation that’s relatable, before proceeding into actionable ideas and reflections.

Inspiring listeners to seek self-development and achieve things in life, by way of a clear understanding of the reality of self, Free Will, God, and the soul, the conversation is not binary in its relaying of facts or answers, but instead realistic – speaking from experience and personal anecdotes, suggesting possibilities and the likely outcome of both open-minded and limiting perspectives.

Master Sirio reflects that in this physical plane we are confined in time and space. “There is a point in space where I am, and there is a time. But when we withdraw from this physical dimension, we go into the spiritual dimension, and there is no time and no space – we can move anywhere we want in the universe, and we can move to any point in time; past, now, and future….”

“From that point of view, everything has already been done; everything has already happened. It’s all an illusion. We have to get out of duality and snap into unity – then we are free.”

Understanding the illusions of life and the power of free will is key to enlightenment, and Dori’s questions direct this conversation with Master Sirio towards creation, belief, and potential.

The Wheel Of Life series is awakening and uplifting in its exploration of the meaning of life, the various life forms, and the new souls continuously created in this world. Forgiveness and progression are central aspects of The Free Will episode, and as ever the calming pace and meditative ambiance helps the information and prospects settle in with ease.

“God wants to see himself manifested, so that he can watch this play going on, because it’s amusing for him.”

Listeners can expect to learn many keys to enlightenment and a brighter sense of self and focus, and can even send in their own questions for Master Sirio to answer by emailing siriopodcast@gmail.com.

What is the value of life from a spiritual point of view? The leading question, alongside one that has caused much disagreement and confusion amidst those who wish to choose the least harmful or most healthy, most sustainable diet – How do vegan and vegetarian diets compare?

Responsive as ever to audience participation and questions, The Light Of Sirio host Dori never misses an opportunity to shine further light on a topic that listeners have found interesting or unclear. In this case, the episode reacts to a specific question, and focuses down on the spiritual recommendation of a vegetarian diet as opposed to a vegan one.

The Light Of Sirio Spiritual Podcast is becoming widely recognized as one of the most heartfelt, focused and honest independent podcasts around. Each episode offers a deep-dive into matters of spirituality, wellness and existence, and this week Master Sirio and Dori discuss the differences between vegan and vegetarian diets.

In many ways, vegetarians are looked upon with more scorn than meat eaters, by those who follow a strict vegan diet. This counter-intuitive approach can sometimes lead people to give up entirely and forget the values and intentions that first inspired them to change. Here, The Light Of Sirio Spiritual Podcast delves into the reasons for choosing one diet over the other, the rewards of each, the negatives, and again seeks to present a positive influence on listeners in terms of improving their prospects and building deeper connections with the world around them.

Forty-four minutes of discussion covers everything from farming to chemicals, animal abuse, cultural preferences, pets, health, spirituality and diet, karma, morals, and plenty more relating to comparing vegan and vegetarian diets. The topic of sheep sheering as essential in animal care, as well as the health benefits of honey, and the history of farming in general, are all included.

As an advocate for the vegetarian diet, Master Sirio naturally directs things towards the benefits of certain animal products, but as ever our host Dori works hard to open up various pathways into discussions of veganism and animal mistreatment in line with this. The resulting conversation is refreshingly calm, thoughtful, honest and reflective, non-judgmental, and makes for a distinct change from the otherwise argumentative forums that tackle this broadly covered topic of veganism verses vegetarianism.

This week’s episode Comparing Vegetarian & Vegan Diet also concludes with a wonderful musical performance to wrap up the unity, awakening and emotive depth of the show – an organic, intimate yet full-band folk and world music moment of melodic togetherness, which is a pleasure to let play as you contemplate the conversation that passed.

Comparing Vegetarian & Vegan Diet / The Wheel Of Life - Light of Sirio PODCAST - Stereo Stickman

3 November 2023

The latest installment of The Light Of Sirio Podcast brings another treasured Q&A session with Master Sirio – An inquisitive deep-dive into the topic of Karma, a discussion of how many forms of life exist in this world, and how thoughts are more potent than actions.

Introduced as ever by the deeply thoughtful Dori, Episode 5 of Season 2 of this spiritual podcast focuses without distraction or disguise on precisely the topics at hand. In this case, we begin with a talk about the law of action and reaction; the consequences that come from good and bad decisions, and how we can simplify our understanding of this in line with our true values and desires.

What is the wheel of life? Dori poses the questions that matter the most, so rather than leaving listeners in the dark or feeling as if the teacher, Master Sirio, is the only one with the answers, the discussion probes in an accessible, easy to follow manner, and leaves a lasting sense of possibility and clarity with its audience.

Carefully intertwining vast historical context and learned knowledge with personal reflections and relevant, contemporary observations, Master Sirio promises a unique balance of expertise and awareness – a distinct knowledge that the majority of listeners seeking out guidance from a spiritual podcast will be starting at the beginning. This quality is what sets The Light Of Sirio apart from other spiritual podcasts, and this episode regarding The Wheel Of Life and Karma is particularly humble and human in its relaying of the ideas and inspiration at its core.

Warming for its laughter and heartfelt curiosity combined, The Wheel of Life plays out for fifty minutes, complete with the simple yet mood-setting musical ambiance of before, and further bridges the gap between the master and his eager and uncertain students. The central theme of negative thinking and the negative power it holds is most interesting, addressed in a way that feels timeless yet also relevant to the modern listener and this fast-paced world. And on the flip-side, the beauty and strength of positive thinking is celebrated in a manner that gives a defiant sense of purpose and value to its premise.

Forever continuing their own spiritual journey, Dori and Master Sirio gift listeners true insight – we’re witnessing a genuine conversation between two spiritual beings, unedited and untainted by media intention or the need for views. That approach is consistently refreshing, and allows the depths and details of The Light Of Sirio Spiritual Podcast to shine with increasing brightness as each new episode emerges.

The Light Of Sirio Podcast - Sadhana: The Spiritual Practice (Q&A with Master Sirio) - Stereo Stickman

Is it possible to have spiritual experiences in a dream state? How can one make a difference if it is a real spiritual experience or a vivid dream?

Why does this phenomenon happen to some people having such experiences while sleeping and not when sitting in meditation? Is it a real spiritual experience?

How is our spiritual practice connected to what happens to our mind while we sleep? Master Sirio replies to these questions, as always, with great wisdom and consideration, opening new gates for our understanding and way of seeing things of life and spirituality.

How could one control the mind to block it from dominating us in continuation? How could one keep the elevated state of consciousness after God prevails and stops the ego from popping in again? Is there a way to dominate our Inner Space? Is there a way to stay tuned in and connected?

Why are habits, spiritual practice and spiritual retreats powerful and important tools to apply in one's spiritual life? In what way can our Inner Transformation be influenced by attending Satsang and going to the Master? Why is it important to be in touch with a realised Master? What is the Inner Work only the Master can do for us to be able to transform our lives?

How do the inner work and meditation during intensive spiritual retreats fill our Inner Space and eventually become dominant?Are there any measures by which liberation can be recognised?

How could the liberated state become our natural condition within easy reach?

What is a healthy level of detachment from our animal friends? How to relate to them when they leave this world? What about our family members when they die? Where should our attachment to them end? How can we best help this process to happen, without being a hindrance to their leaving this world?

How to help the leaving souls passing out? What should be our attitude in front of a dying person? Why can many people easily take away the life of animals? What does it mean to get used to death and killing? Why is the mentality of war always present in society? How could this be blocked? How can we educate our children in a non-violent, pacifist, healthy but still equiposed and real way? What is the right balance in giving them information about death and attachment? How can we teach them and ourselves the process of leaving this world with a healthy attitude?

Why are meditation and spiritual practice fundamental to being balanced and ready for the moment of losing our loved ones and for the moment when we are leaving this world? We can learn from this podcast how to face these sometimes very tough situations with inner peace and why is it important to have a healthy level of detachment when we experience a loss in life.

What is the path of detachment, or sanyasa spiritually speaking? Why only a few are able to be fully detached from life? Why cannot being detached work in the long run even for one who has realised it? What does it mean to observe or to fully live our life?

What does it mean to fully dedicate ourselves spiritually? What does it mean that "I am my own master"? Why do we at all need a spiritual master? How should we relate to the spiritual path we take up and how should we relate to the Master?

Why does spreading ourselves between many things and many spiritual teachers eventually lead us to not conclude our aims and quests and lead us dissatisfied at the end of our lives? How can we eventually reach spiritual liberation, illumination, moksha, Sach Kand etc?

We can listen to the replies to these questions and many more, beyond words, from Master Sirio with great wisdom coming from experience and more than 50 years of intense spiritual practice.

There is so much talk nowadays about meditation, but do we know what happens to us during meditation?

What happens to our body and consciousness when we meditate? What kind of states might we experience? Why should we discard and leave behind the breathing process that goes on in our bodies automatically?

In what way pranayama might be useful and helpful in meditation? Why does breathing slow down and become superficial when our attention goes to the third eye? Can a profound meditation experience be understood as a near-death experience (NDE)?

How is it possible that some yogis can withdraw completely from their physical body and be absent for a long time, even days or weeks?
What should we focus on when we meditate? Which activity should we perform before, during and after spiritual practice? Why the singing of a mantra or holy song, bhajans can be a great helping factor in spiritual practice and meditation if it's properly done?

You can find the answers to all these questions and more in this enlightening podcast with such a great spiritual being who experienced all this in first person, through his intense spiritual practice for more than 50 years.

What is the best mantra to say before meditation? Should we say a mantra before meditation or should we repeat this mantra during meditation? What is the meaning of the mantra? What is the power of a mantra (Simran)? Where does it come from? How should we repeat the mantra? What is the mantra for? What is the effect of repeating a charged-up mantra? How is it possible to build the mantra into our everyday life?

You can listen to great spiritual teachings and insights on mantra repetition, the effect of repeating a mantra on our spiritual practice (meditation) and our life in general, and how the mantra might help us move towards spiritual enlightenment and liberation by transforming our lives.

Why does being in the company of the Master reorientate our mind towards the right behaviour? What does personal responsibility mean towards other people? What does it mean to set a good example? Why does our behaviour influence others in a spiritual group? What does the Master request from the disciples? How can we know if we are on the right track in setting a good example? Why people cannot live without criticism? Why did Master Kirpal used to say, "To see God is easy, to become a real man is very difficult"?

We can listen to an engaging conversation about spirituality, personal responsibility, commitment to the spiritual path, and the work of the Master. Master Sirio reads an excerpt from his diary from 1987, describing with his living example the profound spiritual work the Master performs in the lives and minds of the disciples. We understand how our mind can reorientate itself, perceiving the Invisible Grace even in the smallest event of our lives, understanding the Mauj, or the Supreme Will of God behind the scenes.

How were spiritual retreats organised in Rajasthan with Sant Ji (Sant Ajaib Singh)? What does it mean to live a spiritual lifestyle that enables us to go through a retreat fluently? How was it to meditate with Sant Ji and look into his eyes from near, receiving his Darshan?

This episode is like getting on a time machine through which we can come to know up to the last details how the retreats were and why they were interrupted by the beginning of the 90's. Master Sirio describes the programs and the meeting with Sant Ji with a magical charm, making us feel as if we are present in the company of such a Great Saint.

We can listen to a part of Sirio Ji's spiritual diary in which he reveals to us, how important it is to be in the company of the living Master and what it means to meditate in His company. He also explains what a spiritual upliftment and inner rebirth one might experience by attending a retreat with the proper attitude.

Above, so many other details are mentioned that make this episode a true pearl, really worth listening to it and diving into the high insights of Master Sirio.

What does it mean to have a real deep affinity with the living Master? How does it happen to absorb the teachings of a realised master up to our cellular level? How does it happen afterwards to shape the teachings to our way of being, to make the path into our path?

How do we know if it's a simple ego trip, personal arrogance or a really deep understanding? How to take the teachings until the Master is alive and how the teachings are to be transmitted, and expressed afterwards? What does it mean to go back to our roots and become capable of conveying the message of Truth not as a parrott, but in an original way and still authentic way? How can we absorb the Essence of the Master into our being?

Master Sirio talks again about his events of life, explaining through his example the answers to these great questions of spirituality. Again an enlightening and clarifying episode from a great spiritual teacher in a sincere, simple and honest way - conveying the Truth just the way it is, without distorting it.

How can one go through the greatest difficulties in life with a sane mind and come out of them lightheartedly with a smile? How do we transform any crisis in our life into a chance to improve our person and our situation in general?

What does it mean to have the protection of the Master if one still has to go through very tough situations? Why does it happen that the nearer we get to the Master, the more our karma is burnt away? What is the right attitude to face this phenomenon?

Master Sirio tells sincerely about one of his great difficulties in life, how he went through it and eventually how this situation inspired him to change direction in life. We can come to know why he dived deep into Ayurveda and how it influenced his life as a solution to a critical situation.

How life went in the early years of the Sant Bani Ashram? Why Master Sirio doesn't believe in spiritual communities?

How one can balance work, family and spiritual life? Why is it important to dedicate ourselves to selfless service? Is it equal to spiritual practice and what is the transformative power in giving up our freedom and serving the Master? The return of Sant Ji to Italy in 1984 and how the Sant Bani Ashram developped through amazing great work performed selflessly?

How does our connection with/ to the Master influences our spiritual evolution and development? Why the Master doesn't give direct advice to everyone only to a few people? Do we really know the Master or do we think to know the Master? Are we connected with the Master or the Master Power?

What happened after Sant Ji's first visit to the Sant Bani Ashram in Italy? We can hear the story of a brave girl from Slovenia who set on her spiritual quest and travelled via land up to India to meet the Great Master Kirpal and be warmly welcomed by him. How this meeting transformed her life, without her being aware of it in the beginning? What happens if the Master offers you to be initiated, but you run away from it, then change your mind, but the Master leaves his body in the meantime? How still does the Master take care of the ones who are under his Sharan? How life takes unexpected directions and how are we always rewarded at a higher level when our intentions are truly sincere and honest and we fully and wholeheartedly dedicate ourselves to a noble cause for the good of many?

Why Sirio Ji travelled to Slovenia and how a new chapter started in his life.

We can hear about a promise of a lifetime that also made it possible to continue the newly started project of the Ashram in Tuscany.

Again a heart-touching episode that takes you on a journey while listening to it.

When we embark on a quest for Truth, we have to eliminate all of our dark side, fears, anxieties, laziness, and our attitude of procrastination and face life in its Reality. Life will create situations in which we will have to face all of this whether we want it or not. If we win over, well and good, we become real trustworthy human beings. If we don't, we will always stay the same limited weak and uncoherent person.

In this episode, we talk about how Master Sirio had to face incredible difficulties while creating the Sant Bani Ashram in Tuscany, Italy, in the wilderness of Maremma and how Sant Ji came to give a program here in May 1980.

Sirio Ji tells us about the tremendous difficulties, tests and trials and how he eventually was able to make the place ready to welcome such a great personality as Sant Ajaib Singh and a crowd of 120 people who came to attend the program from all over Italy, France, England, Malta etc. He tells us how the program was a great success and an incredible spiritual charge despite the numerous difficulties occurring during the program, such as rain and so on. In the end, we can also get a glimpse into the great change in the life of Sirio Ji, and how a new chapter opened up in his life after the program.

Another important milestone on the long spiritual journey towards self-realization. It is an incredible spiritual story of a disciple and his guru, how following the indications of a true, realised master may transform our life and make us into better human beings, stable like a rock that no storms of life can twist, throw down or smash. We can follow the personal spiritual and life story of an awakened soul, how Master Sirio eventually arrived to be what he is now, a guiding hope and light that shows the way for many who trust him. He received the Holy Initiation into the Naam Power in 1973 from the great Maharaj Sant Kirpal Singh (find this beginning of the story in season 1 of this podcast) and how he underwent the so-called man-making process and incredible spiritual growth under the spiritual guidance of Sant Ajaib Singh. This is not a fairy tale, but a real and true story of spiritual enlightenment, unconditional Divine Love, trust and obedience. Something that deeply touches one's heart and inspires everyone to be better, do better and above all - to be One: reaching above duality and division and experiencing the Region of Truth; melting into the Universal, Supreme Consciousness and letting this Grace flowing through us towards everyone. It's possible for all of us. We only need to decide and stick to it - so listen to the first-hand experience of someone who sets an example in this with all his life for everyone.

In this episode, we arrive in 1979, in India, Rajasthan again and can listen to how everything took an unexpected direction.

What is a spiritual experience? What does having a spiritual experience consist of? Is only having visions a spiritual experience? Is withdrawing from the physical body a spiritual experience? What about the Holy Presence of God, without seeing God? Is going into a state of bliss, ecstasy and intoxication a spiritual experience? Is going into samadhi a spiritual experience?

You can find the answer to all these deep questions in this episode, in which Master Sirio explains all of these phenomena in detail.

What is death? What happens to us when we leave our body in a definite way? What happens next? Why is it important to be connected to a realised living master during our life? How does this spiritual connection with a master help at the time of our death? Why do we need a guide in the spiritual planes? What does the mahasamadhi of a master mean? What kind of an effect has the passing away of a master for his devoted disciples?

Listen to the answers and explanations of a realised living master, an enlightened being who speaks about all these complex questions with absolute clarity, making it very understandable for everyone who listens to this conversation about a topic that sooner or later affects the life of all of us.

An enlightening and involving conversation on the various aspects of Near Death Experiences.

What happens when we die? Is it the same for everyone, or does cultural and religious background affect the experience? Why do so many of the people reporting these experiences speak of a life review, and why the life review is important once we die?

If you are interested in answers to these profound questions and more, then join Master Sirio as he digs deep into this topic and unveils hidden truths. Along the way, we will hear of two very special cases, Anita Moorjani, the author of the best-selling book: 'Dieing to be Me' and the famous neurosurgeon, who provided us with 'The Proof of Heaven' through his mind-blowing story, Dr. Eben Alexander. We will learn why their experiences were so unique and of great importance as they give direct proof and confirmation that, anything is possible in this life and the consciousness in reality is not a faculty of our brain, but it is beyond the physical plane, it has ever been and ever will be. Come and explore one of the most profound mysteries of human existence with Satguru Sirio Ji.

The big question will be replied to in this episode, which many want to know: who will be the successor of the Master?

It is a very intriguing and deep topic explained with absolute clarity by a great enlightened being such as Master Sirio Ji who has more than 50 years of direct and everyday experience in spirituality and meditation. He had two spiritual masters, so he understands well how successorship happens after a great master leaves this world and who will be the one to continue and carry on the spiritual work and mission afterwards.

He also talks about the fact of why people find it difficult to accept the successor of their Master and what the difference is between realised satsangis and the one who eventually follows the Master in his role.

Last but not least it is also discussed why some people are keen to know the answer to this question.

Is the use of intoxicants against the 5 precepts? What is the effect of intoxicants? What kind of experiences can one have? What are the dangers of intoxicants? What is the importance of an authentic guide in any type of ceremony or spiritual experience? What does it mean to have easy or safe spiritual enlightenment? Why do people develop an addiction to intoxicants? What's the difference between the spiritual experiences provoked by intoxicants or meditation? What is the case about psychopharmacies and mental problems?

You can listen to the replies of a realised spiritual master to these questions and more. Master Sirio Ji has more than 50 years of experience in the fields of spiritual practice and meditation. During this time he met many people and faced many life situations. His explanations are always thoughtful, wise, understandable for everyone and stand on the ground of reality. His point of view is always practical and spiritual at the same time, which is a unique combination among spiritual teachers. There's no talking around, but the direct Truth is revealed through his Words of Wisdom.

How can we reach and maintain an uplifted consciousness? What are the ways the provoke the Divine Grace to descend upon us and how to keep high our spirit?
During retreats the spirit may fly very high and experience many wonderful states of connectedness with the Divine Presence. Then we go back to our daily lives and find it very difficult to maintain this elevated state of consciousness. What is the answer?

Realised Master Sirio Ji delves deeply into this question and brings insight into the topic of Simran, or constant repetition of the divine names. Simran is a very powerful spiritual practice which helps to retain that elevated awareness of the divine as we move through the challenges of day to day life. Master Sirio tells the story of a pilgrim who is introduced to the practice of repetition by his spiritual master, and then narrates the experiences which follow as a result of the repetition. Describing these experiences alongside his own, the Master takes us on an incredible spiritual journey and clearly shows us with practical advice how we may apply this precious practice in our own lives.

When we get initiation, the Master imparts some of its energy to the disciple, does that involve the exchange of karmas between the Master and the disciple also? What is Kal and the fall of the soul?
We can hear an involving conversation and a captivating explanation about the karmic bond and the exchange of karma between master and disciple. But we can also learn how it changes our karma if we help someone spiritually and influence the destiny of that person. Connected to this the existence of free will and predetermination is also mentioned. Then the conversation continues discussing what Kal and the fall of the soul is. Is there a negative power working in this world or is everything a manifestation of the Divine? Is God transcendental or immanent, omnipresent? How might the negative power influence our life and what attitude should we have towards it? How should we relate to the problems and difficulties in our lives?
We can hear the wise replies to such deep questions about life with clarity and certainty from Master Sirio who has more than 50 years of intense experience in the ambits of spirituality knowing well all its layers and has an incredible capacity to explain complex topics with simple words, giving understandable explanations to everyone.

In the early '90s when people - who had been deprived for nearly 50 years of their innate spiritual needs - suddenly found themselves in a new situation and could experience once again spiritual freedom.
Indian gurus and spiritual teachers came to bring the promise of Spiritual Liberation and Enlightenment to the people. There was a great market, people were hungry for Spirituality. This is how eventually Valeria joined the Sangat of Sant Ajaib Singh Ji and received the Holy Initiation into the tradition of Sant Mat / Surat Shabd Yoga or as it's also called Nada Yoga. This is how Valeria, setting on a great adventure, for the first time in her life travelled abroad to the "West" in 1994, to participate in a spiritual retreat with Sant Ajaib Singh (Sant Ji). You can get a glimpse into her life - narrated by host Dori - how persistent she was, even being a young mother of three, to finally take the chance to sit at the holy feet of the one through whom she experienced the Divine Perception.

Following the previous episode, The Spiritual Love Story of Norman Sharp with Sant Ajaib Singh, we can now listen to an interview with Chris Sharp, Norman's son.
It's exciting to listen to Chris's personal story and see how things unfolded from his viewpoint. At the time of his father's Holy Initiation into Surat Shabd Yoga Chris was only a small child. He witnessed how his father set on the Spiritual Journey, and how he later found Sant Ajaib Singh after the passing of the Spiritual Giant, Sant Kirpal Singh. This beautiful love story is not your standard 'Quest for Truth' or 'Spiritual Seeker finds Enlightenment'. In fact, Chris repeatedly affirms that he was not a spiritual seeker at all. Chris's story is a testament to the love, care and guidance that a true realized master has for his spiritual children and their families.

Chris who's also a musician has a song in which he sings "If you want to talk about love, just come to me": so join us as we hear him speak of Love, Devotion and the immense impact of coming into contact with a true Satguru. Join us as we speak of beautiful first-hand encounters with Sant Ajaib Singh, and how Chris was eventually led to Nada Yoga Adept, Satguru Sirio, the spiritual son of Sant Kirpal and Sant Ajaib.

This episode is different than the others, as in this episode I talk to Norman Sharp, born in 1926 who has been a passionate seeker of Truth since his youth, which led him to the Holy Initiation in 1964 on the spiritual path, called Surat Shabd Yoga, Nada Yoga or Sant Mat, by the hand of Sant Kirpal Singh. After Sant Kirpal Singh went into Mahasamadhi, Norman associated with Sant Ajaib Singh (Sant Ji).
Nothing else shows better his passion for spirituality and devotion to his Masters that at the age of nearly 98, he took the trip from England to Italy, to participate in the celebration of his Master's birth anniversary.
On this occasion, I asked him to talk about the beautiful spiritual love story he had with Sant Ji. The result of this conversation is this impressive episode that talks about unconditional, infinite, divine love in its purest form. Remembrance of God, devotion, perseverance on the path and great wisdom that is the fruit of 98 years on this earth and decades of daily spiritual practice. We can witness with Norman the amazing effect of the spiritual path and the practice, and how the Inner Journey transforms us humans into divine beings. Even if Master Sirio this time doesn't talk to us in this podcast episode, still we can receive great spiritual teachings through the life story of a true seeker of Truth.

How satsangis found Sant Ji? How was it miraculously revealed to Doctor Molina in meditation that Ajaib Singh was the new master? How the song arrived to him as an inner experience in all languages: 'A man has been born: Ajaib' - even before ever hearing his name? How did Russel Perkins learn about these spiritual experiences and how he went to India to meet Sant Ajaib personally in Rajasthan? What effect did this first encounter have on him and what were the consequences? How did Sant Ji go to Italy for the first time in the role of a master in 1977? A long expectation full of hopes: how satsangis waited for him and what happened on his arrival to Rome? Miraculous events and great spiritual upliftment on the Inner Journey, the Master power in action with Sant Ajaib.

Meeting and coming to know Sant Ajaib Singh in the Ashram of Rajasthan in 1976, participating in a spiritual retreat, conducted for Western disciples: the first impressions, the initial crisis and the Inner transformation to eventually fully accept the new form of the living master with an absolute conviction. The spiritual adventure continues - going back to Delhi for a period and then back to Rajasthan for another spiritual retreat with Sant Ji. Listen to all the fantastic details about the beginning of a 20-year-long deep spiritual bond that brought lots of fruits and changed the life of Sirio forever.

What is spiritual awakening, enlightenment and liberation? What is the difference between them? How does the Inner Journey start and process after a spiritual awakening? What are the different levels of spiritual enlightenment? How do we reach spiritual liberation? What happens to our consciousness after we leave the earthly plane? Do we stay connected to our family? What is a spiritual family? Do souls travel together on the Inner Journey? What happens when a spiritual master incarnates on the Earth again to liberate the souls? Who accompanies the Master from Beyond Space and why?

What is the difference between a vegetarian and vegan diet from a karmic viewpoint? What is the value of life from a spiritual point of view? Intensive farming and household animals: ethic and non-ethic dairy products. Other animal products: honeybees and the balance of nature etc. Fruitarianism and fasting. What might be the golden mean in the diet of humankind?
The last episode (S2E05) of the Light of Sirio spiritual podcast was followed by a small discussion and further questions arrived for clarification on the vegetarian and vegan diet from a karmic and spiritual point of view. This episode was dedicated to replying to these questions.

If you want to transform your life and change to a vegetarian or vegan diet, this episode might be helpful in understanding the deeper spiritual, karmic and moral motives behind it.

What does the word karma mean? What is the law of action and reaction? What is the wheel of life or the wheel of transmigration? How many forms of life exist in this world? Why thoughts are more potent than words and actions? How can we be free from our attachments and desires? What is the karma that cannot be avoided in this lifetime? What do our good actions bring into our lives? How can we influence our future? How might we reach spiritual liberation? Can we kill mice and rats if they're a nuisance? What about killing insects? Doesn't this create bad karma because of the God in them?

Listen to the answers to all these questions by a realized master and dive deeper into the understanding of the spiritual journey and conscious awakening.
