And this technique which is very helpful, I believe is very helpful for spiritual growth, comes from the Western psychotherapists. In my opinion, it’s like a meeting point of two cultures. And also there are Western people who have deep interest in dharma and spiritual knowledge. It means they have some samskaras maybe they were in this Eastern culture before in their past life. So do you find it helpful also?
Svoboda: Yes. And I find Chinese medicine helpful and I think that Ayurveda would be benefited; I think learning acupuncture would be a good thing for many Ayurvedic doctors, because after all it’s a way of using the prana in the body. And personally I am very fond of ayawaska, me personally. And I think it is a very fine thing, except that of course like anything else it can be misused.

About His Guru
When we started the podcast journey, we did a few episodes on Aghori and Aghora. At that time, my mentor Kiran sir suggested I talk to Dr. Robert Svoboda.
