Conversations with Amoda Maa - Exploring Awareness Through Dialogue and Living Inquiry – Details, episodes & analysis

In this podcast episode, Amoda Maa is in conversation with her host and husband, Kavi, talking about how humanity has lost the inner connection with the divine and what it means to reclaim our divinity. 

Together they touch in topics such as the externalization of God in religion, the impact on individuals and society of being disconnected from our God-essence, and the possibility of remembering the wholeness of God within as our essential nature.

In this podcast episode, we explore the contemporary culture of spirituality within the marketplace of life. Unlike in previous ages when immersion into the spiritual life was a total devotion by becoming a monk or living on the metaphorical mountaintop, or else took place in the latter years of one’s life when householder duties were over, today spirituality has filtered into the mainstream culture. 

Amoda Maa is in conversation with host and husband, Kavi, talking about whether this spiritual filtering into the everyday life has changed the nature of the spiritual path and if there are any obstacles and/or benefits to the marriage of the spiritual and the secular.

In this episode, host Kavi is in conversation with Amoda Maa about the possibility of going beyond an intellectual understanding of nonduality.

Together they explore how the truth of nondual realization can be fully lived in the ordinary human life. 

In this episode, host Kavi is in conversation with Amoda Maa about the deeper meaning of heaven and hell.

Together they explore how heaven and hell are reflections of inner states of consciousness rather than places we go to after we die. 

In this episode, Amoda Maa is in conversation with Kavi about the deeper essence of the tantric and nondual approaches to enlightenment.

Together they explore whether these two seemingly very different paths are in opposition to each other or whether they actually end up in the same realization of true nature.

They also discuss how these two paths merged in Amoda’s personal experience of awakening and how this unified approach is at the core of her teaching today. 

In this episode, Amoda is in conversation with Kavi about the freedom that is available when we meet reality beyond conceptualization. Together they explore whether spiritual knowledge is valuable on the path of self-realization, how there is a deeper knowing that takes us all the way home, and how true freedom is beyond concepts and beliefs. 

In this episode, Amoda Maa is in conversation with David Ellzey to explore the relationship between the spiritual path and expression from a place of inner stillness. In particular, they touch on questions such as how does expression in the world flow differently from awakened consciousness, what happens to the “doer”, and is the living of life itself an art form. The conversation is facilitated by Kavi.

The storm rages
The lighthouse stands
Rooted in stillness
Casting its light
Into the darkness.

In this episode, Amoda Maa speaks with Kavi about the metaphor of the crucifixion and how it relates to the spiritual journey.
