Скачать или смотреть Science Vs. Spirituality: Kriya Yoga, Pain & The Power Of Surrender | Dr. Ashwin Vijay x Gayathri

In this powerful episode, Dr. Ashwin Vijay, an accomplished orthopedic surgeon turned spiritual seeker, opens up about a journey that goes far beyond medicine. What begins as a conversation about healing becomes a profound exploration of pain, ego, and the search for meaning.

From the chaos of hospital emergency rooms to the stillness of deep spiritual practice, Dr. Ashwin shares how intense suffering, both his own and that of his patients, led him to question everything he once believed. As he sat with pain instead of escaping it, he began to experience a quiet dissolution of identity, a soft unraveling of the ego, and a deeper connection with the soul.

We dive into the nature of the mind, why it clings to false stories, and how surrender, not control, is the true gateway to clarity. Dr. Ashwin reveals how simple, often forgotten practices like mindful breathing, sun exposure, and movement can anchor us in presence, and why true healing begins when we stop running from discomfort.

This isn’t just a conversation about spirituality, it’s about confronting the illusions we live with, reclaiming our inner truth, and remembering the intelligence that lives in every moment, every breath, every bit of pain.

If you’ve ever felt lost, disconnected, or tired of chasing external answers, this episode will offer a kind of stillness you didn’t know you were seeking.
