Two wandering hearts, one giant tree in San Miguel de Allende, and a whole lot of hot chocolate, churros, and transcendental truth. Join Mark (Madhumangla dasa) and Maria (Srimati dasi) as they share a soft, playful travel diary from Mexico that keeps circling back to what it really means to be spiritual, religious, and kind in everyday life.
There is laughter about mispronouncing “Allende,” stories of warm people and warm salsas, a little talk about why they keep comments off, and a sweet offering of Vedic wisdom on philosophy, religion, spirituality, and the protection that comes from Guru, Shastra, and the Lord in the heart.

:
from the last 500 years has been built up around uh
41
:
keeping um

the church and religion at its focus

106
:
we'll see you there how we go
107
:
can we share a transcendental truth please
108
:
let's do that I read something really interesting
109
:
and I wanna share it
110
:
make sure you speak clearly and loudly yeah
111
:
philosophy without religion is mental speculation
112
:
dry mental speculation or fanaticism no
113
:
no and no and no religion
114
:
religion without philosophy is often uh
115
:
yes can lead to fanaticism and it is often um
116
:
sort of it's
117
:
it's it doesn't have the fullness that it could have
118
:
so yeah that really struck me
119
:
so philosophy and religion go hand in hand actually
120
:
and I know people like say oh
121
:
I'm not religious I'm spiritual
122
:
well you can't be spiritual without being religious
123
:
the two are synonymous actually
124
:
you really have to understand
125
:
what the true meaning of religion is
126
:
and what real religion is
127
:
so that you can understand what it is to be spiritual
128
:
what is spirituality
129
:
and we're gonna be covering more of that on our trip
