My Non-Vedic Reading List

Show Notes

Thom gave us plenty of reading in his recent episode covering his favorite Vedic literature. In this episode, he closes the loop and shares some of his favorite non-Vedic literature. 

Not surprisingly, most of it is non-fiction and explores the ways in which the Universe, and we humans work. 

Thom also includes a fictional piece which is very much aligned with the Vedic worldview of consciousness being everywhere and in everything.

As Thom says in the podcast, “...even if you are a fast reader, you'll probably spend the better part of the year trying to get through some of this stuff.”

I'm a long-term Vedic meditator, learning from Thom Knoles in the early 1990s. Having put my skills to work as a business consultant and mentor since 1999, I'm currently in training to become a Vedic Meditation Initiator myself. Once qualified I'll combine the two passions, showing business owners and professionals how to enhance their professional and personal performance with Vedic Meditation being a key component.
