Becoming the Place | Rishikesh, Preference, and Presence | Satsang with Nataraj

In this intimate #satsang dialogue, we arrive in #Rishikesh and speak of how preference, attraction, and aversion are woven into our sense of self. The energy of #Ganga, the Himalayas, and the sacred vibration of this land open a space of clarity—yet it’s also seen that even this beauty is not immune to the coming and going. There’s a merging of the inner and outer, an experience of River-ness, where the boundary between self and surroundings disappears. Is it merely preference? Or is it a deeper #manifestation of the heart? The reflection touches what it means to be truly here, in body and in presence—without denying the pull of place or judging it either. We explore how a place like Rishikesh can induce a sense of arrival, but also how, when one abides as the vibration, any place can become sacred. From chai on the ghats of #Varanasi to the stillness before #satsang, the invitation is to become what you touch, to allow resonance to dissolve separateness. This #spiritualinquiry flows naturally from inquiry, through the lens of experience and simplicity. Whether you're watching from your screen or sitting on the banks of Ganga, the essence is the same: More true than you ever knew— And not true in the way you used to know.

This clip was from a Satsang with Nataraj that was recorded on 03/31/2025 from the Tapovan Hills, in Rishikesh, India.
