Sound: The Most Subtle & Most Powerful Sense - Vedic Wisdom on Voice, Hearing & Divine Speech | Dylan Smith #155
Sound is the most subtle of the senses. And according to the Vedas, because it is the most subtle, it is also the most powerful. What you speak, how you speak, and what you allow yourself to hear shapes the quality of your mind, your consciousness, and ultimately the person you become. Recorded live during a sound healing evening in London, Dylan Smith explores the Vedic understanding of sound, speech, hearing, and consciousness. Beginning with the science of vibration and moving into the philosophy of speech, this talk reveals why sound has always been regarded as one of the most transformative forces in human life. From Ayurvedic practices for supporting ear health to the extraordinary concept of Vāk Siddhi, where speech gains the power to manifest reality, this episode offers a profound perspective on the relationship between sound and spiritual development. Whether you're interested in mantra, meditation, Ayurveda, or simply becoming more conscious of the words you speak and hear, this conversation offers practical wisdom and timeless insight. In This Episode, We Cover: • Why sound is considered the most subtle and most powerful sense • The relationship between sound, consciousness, and the sense organs • The four Vedas and the significance of celestial sounds • The teaching of Satyam Brūyāt, Priyam Brūyāt: speak truth, speak sweetly • Ayurvedic practices for supporting ear health and auditory capacity • Karna Poorna, Gandusha, and Nasya for the health of the senses • How sound influences the mind and shapes perception • The cultivation of divine hearing (Śravaṇa) • Why mantras are traditionally repeated inwardly rather than aloud • Vāk Siddhi and the power of pure speech • The role of Udāna Vāta in expression, communication, and manifestation • Practical ways to become more conscious of what you hear and speak About Dylan Smith Dylan Smith is an Ayurvedic Practitioner, educator, and founder of Vital Veda.

Jyotish Gemstones: Choosing the Right Planetary Stone for Your Chart and What to Avoid | Tiffany April Raines #154
Gemstones are not just decorative. In Jyotiṣa (Vedic Astrology), they are used as precise tools to amplify planetary influences and shift the trajectory of karma.

Rather than approaching the topic from a place of fear, this episode focuses on awareness and resilience. Dylan and Daniel share practical strategies to reduce EMF exposure in everyday life, helping listeners navigate modern technology while supporting long-term health.

In this episode, Dylan is joined by Jyotishi and Ayurvedic practitioner Laura Plumb, Vaidya Dr Krishna Raju, Vaidya and medical astrologer Dr Harsha Raju, and mantra teacher Purnesh. Together they explore eclipses through the lenses of Ayurveda, Jyotish and mantra śāstra.

Specific mantras and simple ritual guidelines are shared, along with practical recommendations around food, rest, meditation and how to orient the mind during these heightened times.

In this profound wisdom session, Dylan sits with Dr Krishna Raju to explore how fear consciousness disrupts health , and how prāṇa, pulse awareness, and subtle Ayurvedic sciences restore balance at the deepest level.

Why Honey Deserves a Place in Infant Care: Debunking the Honey Myth
For millennia, honey has been treasured across cultures as a symbol of nourishment and healing, particularly for infants. Yet in 1978, Western medicine abruptly deemed it unsafe for babies under one year old due to concerns about botulism. But was this ban truly justified, or did precaution overshadow ancient wisdom and emerging scientific insights? While infant botulism is an extremely rare condition, modern research reveals that most cases stem from environmental spores, not honey consumption. Meanwhile, traditions spanning Egypt, Africa, and Ayurveda have safely incorporated honey into infant care for thousands of years. Ayurvedic texts even describe Swarna Prashana—a revered practice of giving gold-infused honey to newborns to enhance immunity, intellect, and vitality. In this episode, we challenge the stigma around honey in paediatric care, exploring its rich history, scientific evidence, and time-tested applications. Whether you're a parent or health practitioner, this conversation will empower you to navigate infant nutrition with confidence and clarity. IN THIS EPISODE WE DISCUSS: 🍯 The Honey Ban: How a Nutritional Staple Became "Forbidden" 🍯 Infant Botulism: Separating Myth from Science 🍯 Ancient Cultures & Honey in Infant Care 🍯 Ayurveda’s Perspective on Honey for Babies 🍯 The Science Behind Raw, High-Quality Honey 🍯 Debunking Common Concerns: Sugar, Allergies & Choking Hazards 🍯 Swarna Prashana: Ayurveda’s Time-Tested Immunisation Ritual 🍯 The Importance of Responsibly Sourced Honey 🍯 Reintroducing Honey with Confidence and Wisdom RESOURCES: Further Reading & Related Articles: Ayurvedic Immunisation Over Vaccination For Babies Honey – Nectar or Poison?

Shilajit: The Myths, Magic and Dangers of This Powerful Mountain Medicine | Dr Sumit Kesarkar & Vaidya Dr J.R. Raju
“There is no curable disease in the universe which has cannot be effectively cured by śilājatu, [but only] when administered at the appropriate time, in combination with suitable herbs and by adopting the prescribed protocol”. ~ Caraka Samhitā, authoritative classical Ayurveda text I’m Dylan Smith, an Ayurveda practitioner and educator, and in case you have not heard of Shilajit, it is one of Ayurveda’s most revered herbal substances. This potent, mineral-rich resin sourced from rocky mountains is rapidly gaining popularity in Western supplement markets for its purported energising and rejuvenating effects. In this episode, we aim to disrupt the growing fad of shilajit as a dietary supplement in wellness communities. We’ll challenge the notion that shilajit—prized in Ayurveda for its potent healing properties—can be casually consumed. Much of what’s sold is adulterated or harvested improperly, and often lacks proper purification . We’ll explore essential Ayurvedic principles like correct dosage , the right vehicle ( anupāna ), and a tailored diet ( pathya ) to balance shilajit’s intense qualities and ensure safety and efficacy. When these elements are neglected, shilajit’s benefits can be lost—or even become harmful—underscoring the need for proper guidance in its use. My guests include Dr. Sumit Kesarkar, who has spent over two decades harvesting shilajit indigenously across Asia, and the renowned Raju family of Ayurvedic doctors: Vaidya J.R. Raju, Vaidya Pavani Raju, and Vaidya Harsha Raju. Together, we’ll offer practical insights on sourcing authenticity, safe usage, and time-tested ways to honour shilajit’s role as a powerful rasayana. IN THIS EPISODE WE DISCUSS: 🏔️ Shilajit’s Geological Formations and Origin 🏔️ Understanding Shilajit as a Rasāyana (longevity elixir) In Ayurveda 🏔️ Shilajit's Health Benefits & Debunking the Overemphasis on Mineral Content 🏔️ Proper Purification of Shilajit (not common knowledge) 🏔️ Prevalence of Adulteration, Unsustainable & Improper Harvesting Methods 🏔️ Appropriate Dosage to Absorb the Benefits and Prevent Harm 🏔️ Diet & Protocol to Adhere to While Consuming Shilajit 🏔️ + more!
