148: For this week's podcast, Wanda is happy to welcome the internationally recognized singer-songwriter Sam Garrett. In this episode full of beauty and love you can follow Sam on his journey of being open and interested in different cultures like Rastafarian, Hinduism, Buddhism, yoga from early on – leading him to India but meeting his spiritual teacher Mooji after all in England. This connection started, telling, by the energy of their first meeting – already a long time before. Following the call to live in Portugal with Mooji in his Ashram Sahaja, Sam could fully connect to the vision of a life in happiness, peace and contentment and describes his music as the expression of the connection and relation to Mooji. Further on, he opens up about what he sees as his dharma in this world in distinction to what is even more important to him: to be one with who he is, to see his soul’s purpose. His humble advice to all people seeking for their real truth is to go into silence, to listen truly to your heart, and to go beyond any conditioning. Leaving greed and selfishness behind, uniting and always seeing Love as the answer – that’s his message to share. Listen to the wisdom shared by Sam and follow this lovely conversation of Sam and Wanda, two old friends meeting for the first time. About Sam Garrett: Coming from England, Sam taught himself playing the guitar as a kid and started playing in rock and punk bands in his youth. But his path was meant to go into a different direction. Sam went on a journey to oneself, to explore and find “his” way of playing and making music. After being in an Ashram in England in his early 20s, he realized that he doesn’t want to be a musician in a commercial way, but to seek truth, seek for his inner self, being authentic, being real. Thankfully, he didn’t stop being a musician for good, but realized that music was his calling and music his way of expression. Since then, he has released 3 LPs and several EPs and gives music to this world that uplifts, enlivens and inspires the hearts and souls of people all over the world.
