Wisdom Tantra Freedom

WTF is Shiva

In this episode of Wisdom, Tantra, Freedom, hosts Nataraj Chaitanya and Vishnudev explore Shiva as consciousness through mantra, japa, and devotion, preparing for Maha Shivaratri. They share personal stories, teachings from Siddha and Kashmiri saints, and practical guidance on how mantra and sadhana help transform grief, destruction, and everyday life.
Listeners can expect reflections on the five acts of Shiva, the union of Shiva and Shakti, and the power of Om Namah Shivaya. 

WTF is India

Nataraj Chaitanya and Vishnudev return from a transformative, wonderful, turbulent, and enlivening pilgrimage through India’s most potent spiritual sites — Ganeshpuri, Tamil Nadu, Kolkata, and Kamakhya — sharing raw stories of grief, devotion, and the fierce grace of the Goddess. They describe intense pujas, deity darshan, ritual sacrifices, and how living in a yogabhumi accelerated deep inner work.
Along the way they announce the reopening of Trika Kula as an ashram, and reflect on how pilgrimage, community, and lineage have shifted their practice and capacity to love and surrender.

WTF is Awakening

Hosts Nataraj Chaitanya and Vishnudev Kristian Crowe explore spiritual awakening through Baba Muktananda's commentary on Shiva Sutra 1.8, covering kundalini, mantra practice, Mahavidyas, and the shift from jiva to Shiva.
They mix devotional insight with candid stories about grief, integration, community, and practical tools for bringing inner wakefulness into relationships and everyday life.

WTF with Ishwari

Hosts Nataraj Chaitanya and Vishnudev sit with Ishwari, a long‑time disciple and ashram resident, to explore living with a guru, Shaktipat awakening, the practical demands of seva, and the messy, transformative work of self‑revelation in communal sadhana.
They discuss tests of surrender, working with thought and feeling as a doorway to the self, devotional practice, and what it really takes to be a disciple.

WTF is Love

In this episode of Wisdom, Tantra, Freedom, hosts Nataraj Chaitanya and Vishnudev dive into the messy, luminous reality of love — exploring how love expands when given, how attachment and expectation conceal the heart, and how yoga, mantra, and sadhana cultivate unconditional, present-centered love.
They discuss practical opposites like security and spontaneity, the heart’s digestive fire that transforms impressions, the role of community and dialogue in healing conflict, and how to balance oneness and relationship in everyday life.
Listeners are invited to bring these teachings into practice through devotion, honest self-revelation, and sustained sadhana — and to consider deeper training for those called to teach and integrate these practices.

WTF is Frying?!

Hosts Nataraj Chaitanya and Vishnudev explore the fierce edge of sadhana — the "frying" or tapasya that burns away old patterns. Through stories from ashram life, guru dynamics, and personal heartbreak, they show how purification, community, and honest service transform pain into wisdom.
The episode also shares practical guidance on staying present, using discipline wisely, and leaning into relationship and seva when the heat rises. Join Vishnudev and Nataraj in 2026 for their 200-hour Trika Hatha Yoga teacher training! https://www.vedicyoga.com.au/yoga-teacher-training

WTF is Hatha Yoga

Hosts Nataraj Chaitanya and Vishnudev unpack the heart of Hatha Yoga—what "ha" and "tha" mean, how balancing sun and moon energy opens the third channel, and why simple postures can reveal profound inner aliveness (spanda).
They explore rounding, breath, mantra, and the limbed path of practice as a living transmission that moves from gross to subtle and back, plus an invite to a deep 200-hour Trika Hatha Yoga teacher training starting February 2026.

WTF with Yogini Rabia

In this episode of WTF (Wisdom, Tantra, Freedom), hosts Nataraj Chaitanya and Vishnudev sit with Yogini Rabia — a bhakti yogi, pujari, and Ayurvedic guide — to share stories from lineage, initiation, and life in the ashram.
They explore a vivid Shaktipat awakening, the power of seva and Shiva process, practical ritual and mantra, and how Ayurveda helps tailor sustainable, trauma-informed sadhana for real people in modern life.
Rabia offers reflections on devotion, community, and embodied practice, plus one-on-one work.

WTF is the Self

Hosts Nataraj Chaitanya and Vishnudev explore what “the Self” (Atman) really is—how the witness, the heart, and the experience of Satchitananda (existence, consciousness, bliss) appear through mantra, meditation, bhakti, and honest presence.
Mixing personal stories, scriptural quotations, and practical guidance, the episode shows how longing and consistent practice reveal the ever-present Self and offer ways to live with more openness and creativity.
The hosts also invite listeners to their upcoming 200-hour Trika Hatha Yoga teacher training for those seeking deeper lineage-based practice and integration.

WTF is Ancestral Karma

In this episode of Wisdom, Tantra, Freedom, hosts Nataraj Chaitanya and Vishnudev explore Pitru paksha—the Vedic fortnight for honoring ancestors—and how ancestral karma shapes our emotions, choices, and healing. 
Through personal stories—mermaids in the snow, family dynamics, and grief—the hosts reflect on choicelessness, heart-led decision-making, lineage, and the power of community, offering practical guidance on using sadhana and satsang to clear inherited burdens and open to deeper presence and freedom.
