Divine Me Time celebrates all traditions and wisdom paths. Here, I share more of my all-time favorite wisdom texts that I hope will inspire you as much as they inspire me.

 

Peter Brook’s Mahabharata

This is a long movie but the more theatrical than cinematic quality goes so well with the storytelling of this ancient Vedic classic. You may still be able to find the original version on Youtube, but I share here a true nugget containing a portion of the scene where Krishna explains the Universe to the warrior, Arjuna, on the battlefield.

 

The Avadhuta Gita

The Avadhuta Gita (Song of the Free Soul or Hymn of the Holy Fool) is a thousands-of-years-old ancient wisdom script attributed to Dattatreya (teacher to Patanjali said to be the “father of yoga”) that speaks to the non-dual nature of reality. The story goes that it was spoken spontaneously during Dattatreya’s immersion in Bliss.

The Avadhuta is a mystic who has completely renounced worldly concerns breaking free from all rules of social conditioning, free from identification with both body and mind. An avadhuta therefore is pure consciousness in human form.

This is an advanced text for advanced students. However, one not need understand it in order to benefit from the energy it contains. Enjoy simply listening to this powerful poetry as you meditate upon the sacred geometry within kaleidoscopic mandalas that accompany all eight chapters. Here is the first:

 

The Ajata Vata

Beyond even the concept of non-duality, the Ajata Vata is an advanced text that reminds us that nothing has any real existence whatsoever. Teacher Robert Wolfe does an excellent job of explaining this wild and incomprehensible mystery. You can find that here.
