For the Love of Yoga with Nish the Fish

The world of Yoga is wide and varied. In this podcast, yogi Nish the Fish shares the deeper dimensions of Yoga, Vedanta and Tantra, asking the big questions: why do we practice? What is meditation? What is the purpose of a human life? What is Beauty? What is Death? Nishanth Selvalingam studied various South Asian philosophies with his Shaivite grandfather in an ashram in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia and moved to Los Angeles to study philosophy, teach yoga and play guitar in a rock band. Join him and special guests as they explore Yoga, in all its splendours.

For the Love of Yoga with Nish the Fish

Proof for God

May 08, 2025 • Nishanth Selvalingam • Season 8 • Episode 162

Perhaps one of our finest discussions so far! We cover quite a lot of ground here:

"If there is a God, I must see him. If I have a soul, I must feel myself as that."
This was Swami Vivekananda's intuition about spirituality: it is about direct, personal experience and not belief! While tangible experience of God is the best proof for God, there are some other proofs offered by our Tantra to
(a) define God and
(b) prove God's existence on logical grounds!

We take up some responses from the materialist an evolutionary biologists and make a defense for theism in light of those!

Lectures happen live every Monday at 7pm PST and Friday 10am PST and again Friday at 6pm PST.
