Parallels Between Buddhism and Yoga – The Guru’s Role

In this episode, we explore the deep connections between Buddhism and Yoga, two ancient paths that share the same goal: freedom from suffering and the search for inner peace. We look at the Buddha’s Four Noble Truths and the Eightfold Path, and how they mirror the principles of Yoga, such as the Yamas of non-violence and truth. We also uncover the role of the Guru—the remover of darkness—whose guidance is seen as essential on the journey toward enlightenment. From the meaning of pure love without attachment, to the celebration of Guru Purnima, this episode reflects on the wisdom of these traditions and the timeless message they share.   Reference: Yoga and Total Health Magazine   For Videos: https://youtube.com/@mythiccosmos [https://youtube.com/@mythiccosmos?si=XlYdMBvGLxR72Ruu]   You can find Royalty Free Music and Sound Effects on Epidemic Sound.

The Selkie Wife and the One Day of Freedom - Celtic Mythology

In the cold, enchanted depths of the sea, a queen’s children once sang with joy—until a dark spell turned them into seals, banished from their home. Only one day each year could they return to their true, human form. But when a lonely fisherman stole the seal-skin of one such child, she was bound to land and forced to live a life not her own. This is the haunting tale of the selkie wife—her stolen freedom, her silent longing, and the day she finally answered the call of the sea.   Reference: Celtic Myths and Tales - J.K.
