A Yogi who attributes his life to Lord Shiva, Bhavesh has had an interesting spiritual journey. From Bombay to London and then to Rishikesh, into the lap of the Himalayas, where he finally found home.
A spiritual teacher of today, Bhavesh is keen on taking spirituality to the youth. Be it mantras or Yoga, meditation, or Puranic texts, Bhavesh talks about it all in the language millennials understand.
While he studied BSc, at the University of Portsmouth, he soon discovered his spiritual calling and decided to follow it. It led him to do a certificate course in Yoga, to deep dive into this ancient Indian discipline. Cut to today, he runs Adiveda, a Yoga school to guide people to their personal evolution.
In this episode, join us as we seek to understand spirituality from the Yogi himself—from his tryst with spirituality to his rendezvous with Shiva, the story of Shiva, and what we can learn from him, amongst other things.
We spoke about:
. His spiritual journey
. His tryst with spirituality
. How to surrender
. Understanding ego
. His rendezvous with Shiva
. Shiva’s story
. What we can learn from Shiva
