This new episode is a slow drift into the textures of South India: the restless pulse of Chennai’s streets, the stillness of a yoga shala at dawn, and the vast orchestration of a tropical night storm. These layers are touched gently with electronica—like glimmers of memory, like the way technology sits side by side with tradition in India. And, punctuating the journey, come the voices of teachers: fragments of WhatsApp messages that carry not just words but intention, care, and a lineage of practice in the simplest of forms.

The episode is structured as a weave.

• Streets: density, rhythm, surrender to chaos.

• Shala: stillness, breath, intimacy with silence.

• Storm: scale, power, surrender to nature.

• Messages: guidance, lineage, the human voice carried across time and technology.

Electronica acts as a thread, never dominating, but stitching the worlds together. A filtered bass line might echo the rumble of a bus or a thundercloud. A synth pad might stretch like the silence of a shala breath. Digital glitches mirror raindrops striking metal roofs.

The weave is intentional but not forced. India itself is a weave: tradition and technology, chaos and stillness, ritual and improvisation. The episode mirrors this reality.

The practice of this episode is the practice of listening. Not just passive listening, but active, embodied listening. In yoga, we speak of shravanam—the act of hearing as a form of learning. This is not entertainment. It is presence.

In this episode I take you with me to the opening ceremony
