Yoga as a Shamanic Method (Shiva as 'The First Shaman', Hinduisms Psychedelic Origins, Soma + More)

In this video, we explore the psychedelic origins and influence within Hinduism. From the use of the Soma plant described in the ancient Rig Veda, to the use of Datura and Ganja in modern practices. These substances are used to achieve altered states of consciousness during rituals and spiritual practices, which helps the Yogi connect with the divine.

On the surface level the role of both sadhus and shamans is to achieve spiritual realization, heal, and guide others on their spiritual journey. While their practices and traditions may differ, the use of altered states of consciousness is universal in shamanic traditions around the world, and Hinduism is no exception.
