How can you overcome stress at work? Mahatria shares that when your work becomes your prayer and your workplace becomes your place of worship, you won't feel pressure. He says it all lies in your attitude and the template of life you wish to adopt. When you decide that, 'Let problems come from anywhere, solutions will come from me.', then you will be taking responsibility. It will automatically bring sincerity to the work you do. Listen to Mahatria elaborate on how you can change your relationship with work.

“It is taking a lot of guts to ask this question. 4 months ago, I collapsed on my chair and was admitted in the hospital. I was diagnosed of ‘anxiety and panic attack'. I was given medicines and therapy. I practice gratitude and also meditate. And actually, everything is going very well in my life! But I still get these panic attacks and lose control of myself. Doctors say it is all clinical. Can you please help me, Mahatria?”Mahatria empathizes deeply with the seeker and gives a practical solution to the panic attack.Listen to the podcast to understand the solution and most importantly you can be that solution for many around you.

What was the parting message of Buddha that can lead us to a life of growth? On this auspicious day of Buddha Purnima let us understand the valuable message through this podcast where Mahatria delves deeper into the message and gives a contemporary application to the age-old wisdom.

Is it wrong to have expectations? Mahatria says that it doesn't matter if expectations are right or wrong; what matters is that humans' expectations are unavoidable. He further elaborates that to make life easier, you can learn to manage your expectations and simplify life for yourself and your loved ones. Mahatria offers a few thoughts you can imbibe in your life to manage your expectations with maturity.

Why is it that the ideas and values of the previous generation are always mocked by the next generation? Why even legends who inspired the whole world, could not inspire their immediate kith and kin at times? What gives rise to this conflict and disharmony? “Most of us complicate the roles of our life, because we focus on our secondary role, forgetting what our primary responsibility is”, says Mahatria. Within your family, what is your primary role? A father or a mother or an elder sibling, isn’t it? Pushing the primary role to the back seat, we tend to philosophize… Mahatria throws the spotlight on the issue and gives a solution in this podcast. 

Whatever be the addiction, it simply means that 'it' is in control of your life and you have become a slave to 'it'. Addicted to social media robs you of your precious time and in most cases, leads you towards unhappiness and disaster. When addicted to social media, you will not have the time for what is important to you, like urgent professional needs and being with even close relationships.Mahatria emphasizes in this podcast that the only way to get rid of Social Media addiction is by simply staying away from it. You will have to drop anything that is robbing your time and disturbing your peace.

Mahatria says that if you want to improve your life slightly, continue with what you have been doing, but if you wish for a transformative change, meditation is the way to go. He urges you to realize the power of silence. When you meditate, you drop your entire form and merge into the formless, and when you do so, some part of the mortal is removed, and divine is added. Through this podcast, Mahatria encourages you to find out what form of meditation suits your personality because it will bring about a revolutionary change!

Mahatria encourages everyone to look up to growth rather than looking down with self-pity. He urges you to focus on improving your life rather than focusing on negativity and complaints. He says that in any aspect of life, either you can be a beggar or a giver. Why choose to be a beggar when you can live to give? Mahatria points out that 'The spark has to come from within'. He asks you to understand that you are significant and can be a source of happiness. He says that the best way to live life is with the motto, 'Nothing should make you happy, but everything should make you happy.'

Why do we need to train our minds through meditation? In this podcast, Mahatria says that the man's mind is the man. Unless we transform the mind, we can't transform the man. He elaborates that human bodies are designed to localize themselves, but the mind is designed to wander. You need to train your mind because an untrained mind makes you a vagabond. Only with a trained mind, you begin to know yourself and make more mature choices. The training that we give to achieve a concentrated mind is meditation. There are many ways to calm your mind and focus. When you perform an action that makes you oblivious of everything else while being consciously engaged, it is called meditation.

Mahatria illustrates how transient one's life is, by highlighting the grand scheme of life. He further emphasizes that even though your life may seem trivial, it is actually not so. You were created with care by the creator. The creator has neither created one like you before nor after your creation. He says that you are an instrument of God, and there are puzzles in life that only you can solve and change. Through this podcast, he encourages you to celebrate life and your unique beauty!

Mahatria says that religion is the highest form of science! The rituals, which one perceives as a superstition, professed by every religion have the highest integration of psychological reality into the daily life of a follower of that religion. Mahatria explains in this podcast that rituals are a form of the action-feeling cycle. We can't alter what we feel at will, but we have more control over our actions. And rituals are the actions that transform our feeling-domain through certain spiritual disciplines.  

Mahatria says whether it's doing business or working, a career is one place where we should recognise that passion, energy, and enthusiasm are needed at all times. He also adds that the perfect career is where your hobby and your profession are the same!

When you decide to do something because someone else has asked you to do something, it's difficult to be consistent. Mahatria explains that when you start to do something with your own interest and willingness, then be it leaving a bad habit or incorporating a new habit, it becomes very easy to become consistent in it. 

The only person who can help you move on from your past is yourself and nobody else. If you want to end the suffering, you need to end it yourself. Mahatria says that your past only exists in your mind, so to move on, you need to step aside and make an effort to move on.

Mahatria logically explains that children don't follow what you repeatedly tell them, but they tend to follow what they see elders implementing. Hence, if you want to see a change in your children, you must first implement it yourself!

To have a healthy mental attitude, follow these three steps:1. Focus on what you have done and what you need to do, not on what others do.2. In any and every situation only have thoughts that serve your progress. 3. Change your mental icons for relationships by filtering out the way you perceive them.

Mahatria says that to progress and keep all relationships blissful develop a dominant mental icon of all the beautiful memories you have with the person, and that is the only way to avoid bitterness in a relationship!

Face fear, fear goes. Avoid fear, fear grows. Mahatria, in this podcast, explains how fear is actually beneficial to your growth and how you can overcome the fear.

When you continue to do what you are already good at your confidence doesn't grow, it remains stagnant. These two simple applications recommended by Mahatria will catapult your confidence levels.

Mahatria explains that there are only two states in which we live, either we are givers or beggars. Mahatria also clarifies whether love is a by-product of happiness and which of the two is more important.

The buyer of the product always enjoys the benefit of the product longer than the product's seller enjoys the benefit of selling. As a service provider, ensure the value you provide to the world is far greater than what the world will pay you because "Service-provider" is always the king.

Fight back gender-bias through leadership. Why be at the mercy of somebody who has to extend justice to you? Aspire to be a leader and build your own empire not just for you but also to do good for the world.

We come across different types of people in our life. Each person has some limitations, but it entirely depends on how we react to the situation. Either we can let it affect us, or we can feel compassionate towards them. Never let others' immaturity affect your life. Just smile through and remind yourself "Their maturity is only so much".

Habits are formed by reinforcements, and Mahatria explains to us this through the example of social media usage on a day-to-day basis.

Instead of asking everyone to deal with your unacceptable attitude and behaviour, start identifying it. Look for ways in which you can rectify it rather than justifying and asking others to be okay with it.

Mahatria in this episode of how to become a better person, teaches us how not to run behind other's validation of your actions and doings.

By not giving attention to bad and by maintaining your own character, you can make yourself a better person. Mahatria explains this with an interesting story!

Mahatria explains that everything in life that has a beginning has an end to it, no matter how good or bad it is. So, when you start doing anything, make sure not to procrastinate, and give it your best shot.

You do not procrastinate the things you look forward to, or are excited about. So, find out what makes you happy, what you are passionate about and channel your energy and time in that direction and you will not see yourself procrastinating again.

Mahatria explains the importance of silence through a scientific perspective, namely 'The Theory Of Everything - TOE'. Through silence your transformation becomes effortless; every minute of silence will make you a little happier, and with every glimpse of silence, you'll find yourself more loving and selfless than you ever were! - Says Mahatria in this clip and implores the necessity for each one of us to meditate daily. This is a must hear piece of audio, for every ardent seeker...

Fearing people would just make you feel cornered. You cannot escape people since they will be there everywhere... And social media was created to express people's thoughts and opinions. So, everybody will share their thoughts there, some of which could be negative. Mahatria explains that by turning off comments and adding restrictions, you are just giving more attention to their negativity; instead, it is better to ignore it.

Expectation leads to disappointments and frustrations! Then why do we expect? How to escape this? We even expect from God! - quips Mahatria in this interesting Q & A session. 'All our lives are designed in an incomplete manner, and to complete it, we expect certain things from others...'- Mahatria explains the process of spiritual evolution, where expectation drops on its own accord.

A doctor treats a patient, a teacher gives knowledge to the student, a consultant provides solution to his client... Can a giver receive gifts? Will it increase one's Karmic debts? Recognise the heart behind the material given to you, Mahatria explains with relatable examples while answering this question.

Sometimes in close relationships, you need to preserve, manage and feed the ego of the other person to gain their trust, says Mahatria. Are you hesitant in expressing your thoughts to your close relationships? Then this podcast is for you.

Retaining the smile all the time can happen only when an internal transformation happens. How to bring in this internal transformation? Mahatria answers this and makes us understand the importance of gratitude through this beautiful podcast. In short, 'Bliss' is gifted to you through this!

Giving up anything is a struggle, not only negative emotions! How to drop it and fill ourselves with positive emotions? Mahatria provides a totally outlandish solution to this in this podcast.

"Freedom that comes after discipline alone can be respected and enjoyed", Mahatria explains how you can transform yourself to be disciplined through a story about dogs and their trainers.

Mahatria says that 'Work is worship' because nothing reveals you to yourself like work does. All of us need to realize that the place where we work is not just an organisation or a place where you earn money, it's the place where you worship.

One way to be peaceful is to not escape from change, but to accept it and transform yourself.

Mahatria explains that prayer is not when you ask for things; prayer is a simple way to express your gratitude and express your love.

Let's compliment each other to make this world a better place, not compete with each other. The best way you can create a better world is by starting with yourself.

"Don't suffer the problem, suffer the solution." Mahatria explains that instead of agonising over the negative thoughts and the mental stress of being blackmailed every day, you should confess and face the consequences.

Whatever field you choose to build a career in, make sure that you make the right choices and changes for yourself and the world.

Addiction to money, power, fame and the opposite sex is related to you psychologically. When your addiction increases, you might not understand it, but when you fall, the damage done will be inescapable.

With age difference comes variance in values and perspectives. Don't always try to settle the differences, sometimes try to appreciate it and enjoy it so that new bonds form!

To get over your past, get yourself busy! If you are active, you won't have time to think about it. Focus and channel all your energy on building a great future.

Mahatria explains how the culture and the environment surrounding children play a major role in shaping their view of the world.

A simple way to develop your personality is through the "ASK" theory: Attitude, Skill, & Knowledge. You need to develop yourself in all these three dimensions to undergo holistic development.

You need to take responsibility for the things you want to achieve and not give excuses. Take ownership of your dreams to skip over regrets.

There are only two options when it comes to science, either science will work for you, or it will work against you; there is no neutrality in it.

'Science will not adapt to us; we need to adapt to science'. We have the responsibility to understand science and the proper use of its potential. The same is the case with Existential laws too! After all, a formula does not care who applies it… as long as it is applied properly, it will give results.
