Evolution Revolution

Yoga, Ayurveda and The Rise of the Soft Power Culture

The Evolution Revolution: Yoga, Ayurveda and the Rise of the Soft Power Culture Book

Synopsis

Evolution Revolution presents a grand vision for overcoming the complexities of the modern lifestyle and the afflictions of the current mindset. Mas Vidal recognizes that a universal wisdom, a conscious living culture, is emerging globally as part of the renaissance of Vedic India, the Motherland of ancient wisdom traditions. Many are turning to integral Yoga for real solutions and turning to Ayurveda for real health and wellness. This revolution is recognizing a singular truth that is known by many names, found in all living things, and is not limited to the confines of patriarchy and religion. This movement regards nature as sacred and embraces a spiritual process that is personal, intimate and practical.   

Mas Vidal articulates how to embrace integral yoga and apply the practices as Listening, Learning, Loving, and Letting Go. Evolutionary powers lie dormant within every individual and include the practices of meditation, mantra, community (sangha), and healing the body through a plant-based diet. The book is a tribute to the spiritual heritage of India's soft power culture that is redefining how humans live on earth, empowering us to address life’s challenging moments, increasing our capacity to evolve spiritually, and motivating us to explore all pathways to transforming our consciousness.

Excerpts from The Evolution Revolution Book

The Real Meaning of Finding the Guru

The word “guru” is probably the most recognized Sanskrit term of the yoga tradition, second probably to the word “mantra”, both of which have been bastardized by the media.

Esoteric Meaning of Listening

According to the Vedanta philosophy, the entire world is a projection of the mind. The mind is the projector of thoughts onto the screen of life. Projections are created by our recurring thoughts that are essentially subtle energetic vibrations that carry life-force energy. The thoughts of the mind are projected into the world energetically. Each thought is like an energy missile that shoots through the ether every time it arises in the mind.

Redesigning Religion

Many people are questioning what the term “spiritual” means because its meaning has digressed away from its original meaning in the esoteric traditions. For many in the modern era who have grown apathetic and turn away from the dogma of major religions, living a natural lifestyle has become the new spiritual. In many ways, natural lifestyle is replacing traditional religious practices. One aspect of this lifestyle is meditation.
