About the show

Bending the Light is where ancient Vedic wisdom meets modern life. Hosted by Vish Chatterji, a mechanical engineer turned "karma mechanic," this show explores the timeless teachings of yoga, meditation, Ayurveda, Vedic philosophy, mantra, ritual, karma, dharma, and Jyotish—the Vedic science of light—with curiosity, practicality, and a healthy dose of skepticism. After decades of study and thousands of hours spent helping people navigate life's deepest questions, Vish brings an East-meets-West perspective to the spiritual challenges of our time. Drawing from his engineering background, his executive leadership experience and the wisdom traditions of India, he helps listeners make sense of the cosmic patterns shaping their lives while staying grounded in the realities of the modern world. Through insightful conversations, personal stories, and practical teachings, you'll explore questions like: Why am I the way I am? What am I here to do? How do karma and purpose influence my path? And how can ancient spiritual practices help me navigate today's challenges? Whether you're new to Vedic wisdom or a longtime seeker, Bending the Light offers accessible guidance for understanding yourself, your relationships, and the cosmic forces that influence your journey. Plus, enjoy bonus "Drops of Light" throughout the month—short episodes featuring guided reflections, meditations, Vedic astrology insights, and planetary weather forecasts to help you move through life with greater awareness and intention. Follow now and join Vish on a journey of self-discovery, spiritual growth, and practical wisdom as we learn to bend the light toward a brighter way of living. https://www.vishchatterji.com/
