A thought-provoking podcast that bridges the gap between Western religious traditions and Eastern spiritual philosophies, offering a fresh perspective on spiritual awakening. Through insightful comparisons and relatable examples, the host explores how cultural upbringing shapes our beliefs and why spirituality often feels unfamiliar or misunderstood in the West. The podcast encourages listeners to look beyond dogma, embrace an open heart, and discover the divine within.

Ep 3 - By The Grace of God (Part I)

"You are the Witness (Ashtavakra’s Truth)" is a powerful, rhythmic song inspired by the wisdom of the Ashtavakra Gita, exploring the nature of consciousness, awareness, and self-realization. The lyrics contrast all that we believe we are—our bodies, thoughts, emotions—with the eternal awareness that lies beyond them.

You are the witness (Ashtavakra’s Truth)

The song builds on the central teaching that "Consciousness is awareness with a choice," emphasizing that true freedom comes from recognizing oneself as the silent witness beyond form, beyond illusion. Through a call-and-response chorus in multiple languages, the track embraces a universal perspective, blending philosophical depth with a modern, uplifting, and cinematic sound.

Musically, the song fuses dreamy ambient textures, cinematic strings, organic world percussion, and deep electronic beats, creating a meditative yet energizing experience. It flows between soft, introspective verses and anthemic, soul-stirring choruses, inviting listeners into a space of awakening and self-discovery.

About My Music:
I create original, genre-blending music that fuses rock, classical, easy listening, and experimental styles. Each song is crafted with deep emotional honesty, often inspired by my own poetry, journal reflections, or personal stories. Whether instrumental or vocal, my focus is to uplift, inspire, and resonate with listeners on a real, human level.
I don’t settle for “good enough.” Every track goes through hundreds of iterations, shaped by a balance of intuition and precision. I use advanced AI music tools to explore sound and emotional tone, then refine everything in Logic Pro for professional production quality. It's a fusion of heart and technology, and through it, I aim to connect, heal, and inspire—one song at a time.
