In this episode am joined by Dolama Mantas, a hermit, yogi, and shaman with a remarkable story. Mantas reveals how he was recruited into an occult sect led by a charismatic leader, subjected to brainwashing and psychic domination, and kept as a slave to commit violent crimes on behalf of the Master. Mantas tells of his eventual escape, and the subsequent 4 years living as a hermit in the Lithuanian forests where he learned to meditate and underwent extreme austerities to recover his broken mind. We follow Mantas to the Himalayas, where he met Tibetan hermits and powerful spiritual masters, and then to South America in search of true shamanism. After much searching he finally met his Abuelo, and began a spiritual and shamanic apprenticeship under the tutelage of an extraordinary 94 year old Peruvian shaman. … Video version: https://www.guruviking.com/ep77-dolama-mantis-the-shaman-hermit/ Audio version of this podcast also available on iTunes and Stitcher – search ‘Guru Viking Podcast’. … Topics Include: 0:00 - Intro 0:57 - Meeting a charismatic spiritual teacher 7:54 - Becoming brainwashed into a life of crime and servitude to the Master 13:31 - Dark paranormal powers of the Master 20:16 - The source of the Master’s occult power and energy harvesting methods 24:25 - Mantas’ father’s rescue attempt 27:30 - Escape 3 4:06 - Deadly consequences for those who left the sect 36:41 - Ongoing psychic attacks 42:04 - Becoming a forest hermit and learning to meditate 46:41 - Healing journey, remembering past lives, and astral experiences 47:29 - Extreme practices of meditation and pranayama 49:36 - Mantas’ research methods 51:52 - Journey to the Himalayas 1:01:25 - A profound meeting with Namkha Rinpoche 1:04:00 - Living with a Tibetan hermit 1:05:28 - Travelling to South America in search of shamanism 1:06:23 - Encountering ayahuasca and spirituality through nature connection 1:07:51 - Mantas’ apprenticeship under Abuelo, a 94 year old master shaman 1:12:23 - How Abuelo become an enlightened shaman 1:14:20 - Mantas’ opinion on modern ayahuasca shamans 1:16:30 - Mantas’ current activities and retreats 1:19:10 - 10 hours of daily practice minimum 1:22:47- Contacting Mantas … To find out more about Dolama Mantas, visit: - https://www.youtube.com/user/Hermit1yoga - https://www.facebook.com/DolamaMantasJacikas/ For more interviews, videos, and more visit: - www.guruviking.com Music ‘Deva Dasi’ by Steve James
