Nourishing The Spirit

Hippies receive a fair share of criticism stemming from the perception that they are hypocritical and shallow. Nowadays, the movement is all about promoting counterculture and subculture at a spiritual level. Woodstock isn’t even close to what you would describe as a religious festival, but it drew in a few well-known spiritual leaders.

Swami Satchidananda Saraswati, the late Indian yoga adept religious teacher, is one of the spiritual gurus whose presence didn’t go unnoticed. He delivered a speech that kicked off the festival, explaining that music is a connecting element in the world. Nowadays, Indian religious culture has a visibly strong presence in America, stemming from those times.
