In this episode, we escape the summer heat of Houston to explore out-of-the-box places and ways to practice law. Listeners will hear about combatting sex trafficking in Kenya, living in Puerto Vallarta while virtually practicing law in Houston, and engaging in immersive travel without interrupting service to one's clients in Houston.  Segment 1:There's No Place Like Home (in Kenya): Combatting Sex Trafficking in AfricaAnna Swanson, who is now practicing in Houston, completed her work last year as the Manager of Security, Investigations, and Law Enforcement Development at International Justice Mission's (“IJM”) field office in Mombasa, Kenya. In that position, Anna worked with government officials and law enforcement entities in different countries to train officials to use equipment and online investigation tools essential to investigate tips from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children digital world of evidence so that the evidence they obtained would be admissible in court. Anna discusses the types of child trafficking crimes in Kenya and how the court system there deals with defendants accused of such crimes. She also addresses the importance of collaboration and partnerships in achieving international legal goals – in this case protecting children. She also goes into some of the complexities of digital evidence and how the IJM and its partners were able to educate investigators, prosecutors, and even courts in Kenya on its use. Segment 2:You Had Me at Hola! (in Puerto Vallarta): Practicing Law in Texas While Living AbroadNikita Lamar of Lamar Legal Group (https://www.lamarlegalgroup.com/about-6) joins us from Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. She has an almost fully virtual law practice as a Houston lawyer living elsewhere. Nikita discusses why attorneys sometimes need to pivot, such as burnout. She also addresses the logistics of changing a firm's practice model to permit moving the practice out of the country, such as necessary changes to client engagement letters, and she talks about what lawyers moving abroad need to consider with regard to Texas Disciplinary Rules of Professional Conduct 1.03 and 1.05. And, she touches on the importance of exploring Digital Nomad laws and tax implications of the locations you are considering and getting the advice of a tax professional before making a move. Nikita has started an online group called “Esquires Abroad” for lawyers who have virtual practices and live abroad (https://www.linkedin.com/groups/12974315).Segment 3:Adventure is Out There: Enjoying Geographic Freedom While Maintaining a Successful Law PracticeArati Bhattacharya of AB Law (https://ab-firm.com/meet-the-team/) talks with new Behind-the-Lines interviewer Rinku Ray about how Arati structured her firm so that her family can engage in immersive travel experiences while she maintains a successful legal practice in Houston.

Today, I'm talking with Arati Prabhakar, the director of the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy. That's a cabinet-level position, where she works as the chief science and tech advisor to President Biden. Arati and her team of about 140 people at the OSTP are responsible for advising the president on not only big developments in science but also about major innovations in tech, much of which come from the private sector.  Her job involves guiding regulatory efforts, government investment, and setting priorities around big-picture projects like Biden's cancer moonshot and combating climate change. More recently, Arati has been spending a lot of time talking about the future of AI and semiconductors, so I had the opportunity to dig into both of those topics with her as the generative AI boom continues as the results of the CHIPS Act become more visible.  One note before we start: I sat down with Arati last month, just a couple of days before the first presidential debate and its aftermath, which has now swallowed the entire news cycle. So you're going to hear us talk a lot about President Biden's agenda and the White House's policy record on AI, among other topics. But you're not going to hear anything about the president, his age, or the presidential campaign.

In this Teaching Moments episode, Sangha member Arati and Satyam discuss their experiences of finding refuge in the heart, our meditation practice, and the sangha.Arati: Talking about my practice is not something I'm very familiar with…I feel like I am still trying to learn, understand, and feel for what it means to have a spiritual practice. The talks that the sangha members gave at the intensive really resonated and inspired me to try and open up as I could relate to a lot of what they talked about and how they used their practice during rough times.The last couple of years have been very turbulent for me and I can't say I'm totally on the other side so a lot of my experience is still current. A 10 year marriage ended and with it took a lot of people I considered family, I lost my house and most of my belongings, I left a job that I worked really hard to get to where I was and with all that change…so much else was shaken up and lost. It felt like my entire world and what I relied on for stability, security, safety, and comfort was all pulled out from underneath me in a blink of an eye. It felt so quick that I didn't know who I was anymore. When people would ask me how I felt..it felt like I was jello, in the in-between…it was so scary and uncomfortable. Early on when these changes started happening, I went to Shoshoni for a weekend training with Satyam and Abhaya and when I returned to the east coast, I signed up for an online yoga teacher training with them. During that training, everything was falling apart and it was so hard for me to show up for those classes let alone meditate on my own each day. But ever since I connected to this practice, it's been there for me when I didn't know what else to do.I had always dreamed of going to India and what better of a time than when you've lost everything? And because I have this practice and have been warned over and over throughout the years…I knew I wasn't going to find anything out there to solve my problems or the key to my happiness but staying or going was equally tough. So I left my job and went on a big adventure with my new partner. I was traveling the world and in a newish relationship and although I'm so grateful for both of these experiences, after having my life dismantled, it definitely wasn't a vacation.I won't go too much into my traveling and it did strengthen my gratitude for these teachings and for Babaji but I also went through a lot more discomfort on so many different levels. Because of the state I was in internally, the chaos, uncertainty, and unfamiliarity all around me was so challenging physically, emotionally, and mentally. I kept making a (small) effort to do my practice but I have been exhausted by life and my mind felt like it was torturing me when I would sit to meditate. Still feeling pretty lost, I reluctantly reached out to Abhaya and asked about spending some time at Konalani.On the Big Island there is a place called the city of refuge where, in ancient Hawaiian times, if you committed a crime and you made it to this point, you would be absolved of your punishment, which was typically death. That sounds pretty extreme and I wasn't running from a crime but even though I knew it wasn't going to be easy, getting myself to the ashram felt like making it to my own place of refuge.I was right, it hasn't been easy. Being at the ashram is not an escape from any of your problems and most days, they are highlighted for me. But I've been able to get some clarity and reconnect to my practice in a big way. I have a reason to wake up each morning and am committed to doing my practice each day no matter what. I've got a place to sleep, food to eat, work to do each day and the support of the sangha. When I have to face my stuff - feeling lost, confused, disoriented, sad, overwhelmed - I can be in the flow of the ashram and I can remember that I am here to do this work.My idea of a refuge has really deepened during my time here. I asked Babaji how I should work while I am here and he said to stay centered and when I feel myself getting drawn out to come back. He's also pulled me aside during seva and told me to stop worrying and that I need to relax. I've always liked Babaji's surfing references because I surf a little bit and I found this quote where he said: “It is a lot like surfing: there is a wave of energy causing the transformation in your life. Your job is to keep centered and to keep your balance. That means you don't go to extremes mentally and emotionally. You don't get overly excited or overly conservative. Try to stay centered and balanced.”It's been hard for me to find this state of being centered and balanced because my mind really wants to analyze all the loss and feel all the emotions over and over. It hit me during a movie yoga night when there was a really intense scene happening and I could feel myself getting pulled into the drama, feeling the anxiety and anticipating what was coming. Babaji told us all to take a breath and in that moment, I released the grip on the scene and felt a sense of relief and peace inside. It was so easy to realize that the movie was separate from me and the emotions I was feeling weren't me. It made me wonder what if surrendering my own stuff was that easy? I truly want to experience my inner self as a place of refuge that's always with me and can't be taken away. So, I've really been trying to connect to this place inside and cultivate my inner refuge while I am meditating, while I am doing seva, and everywhere in between by recognizing that I am feeling heavy, tight, anxious or having negative thoughts and drawing my attention inside, relaxing, and allowing there to be calm. In Spiritual Practice, Babaji says: “What we are looking for when we meditate is peace of mind. Peace is the most incredibly valuable thing in the whole universe. Our minds are always active. They try to define us through our experiences.Though that may be useful to a degree, it is not the truth. The truth of who we are and what we are lies beyond the chatter and the noise of our minds. When we move beyond the chatter we will find clarity and a real sense of being present. We will begin to have a deeper understanding of our existence.” I am so grateful to have an actual place of refuge to go to and for the support I've received over the years and especially recently. It's helped me prioritize my practice and start to feel my feet on the ground again. Mostly, it has helped me feel a glimpse of my inner self that is beyond the chatter, beyond anything external, so that I can feel safe, secure, and at peace no matter what.Satyam:A line that really stuck with me from Arati's presentation was “I truly want to experience my Inner Self as a place of refuge that's always with me and can't be taken away”… I do too, and I'm sure you do as well. As she taught, We have a place of refuge in our hearts, a place we can go to at any time to dissolve the obscurations of daily life. But like the place of refuge here in Hawaii, It takes effort to get there, and effort to remain there, but no matter how much effort it takes what's most important is that it really is there. And as Arati taught, we can find refuge in our practice if we are willing to seek it out throughout our daily practices, tasks and activities. We have to find refuge in each repetition of the mantra, each weed we pull, each breath we take, each dish we wash, each posture we practice... In classic non-dual understanding, the place of refuge is only revealed to those willing to walk with refuge. As the Shiva Sutras put it, ‘the path is only revealed to the revealer'— the path to the place of refuge is only revealed to those who are seeking refuge in their path. This unique effort is of course nothing new, but a foundational topic in every practice. How do perform mantra in a way that leads us to its place of refuge? We can't yell the mantra, or do them faster, to accelerate the process— we start from where we're at, and work our way from the vibration in the mouth, to the throat to the heart. The same goes for the breath— you can't just jump into breath awareness, the mind pushes and pulls it immediately. You have to lengthen and smooth out the breath, and then slowly but surely release that effort and arrive at the experience of refuge in breath awareness. Swami Rudrananda always taught that the WIsh to Grow practice begins at a superficial level, none of us mean it at first, but we simply repeat each repetition with a little more sincerity, and eventually we arrive. The topic of refuge inspires a deeper appreciation for how we practice, not just what we practice, which has been at the forefront of Babaji's teaching over the past year and a half. When he says we need to learn to relax as we practice, in my opinion this doesn't mean we relax and then practice, as if they are two separate things, but that we learn how to use our practice to help us relax, that we use our practice not to blow up our karma, but release ourselves from it. Babaji recently used the analogy of dropping something out of your hand as a way of understanding surrender— when you use each mantra as a way to release, each breath as a way to release, then you become released. This is what the topic of refuge means to me, and how it has opened up my practice. So let's take time to walk through our practice with refuge and see if the path to the place of refuge in our hearts naturally unfolds for us step by step.

Arati Saha (1940-1994) was the first Asian woman to swim across the English Channel. This month, we're talking about adventurers – women who refused to be confined. They pushed the boundaries of where a woman could go, and how she could get there. History classes can get a bad rap, and sometimes for good reason. When we were students, we couldn't help wondering... where were all the ladies at? Why were so many incredible stories missing from the typical curriculum? Enter, Womanica. On this Wonder Media Network podcast we explore the lives of inspiring women in history you may not know about, but definitely should. Every weekday, listeners explore the trials, tragedies, and triumphs of groundbreaking women throughout history who have dramatically shaped the world around us. In each 5 minute episode, we'll dive into the story behind one woman listeners may or may not know–but definitely should. These diverse women from across space and time are grouped into easily accessible and engaging monthly themes like Educators, Villains, Indigenous Storytellers, Activists, and many more.  Womanica is hosted by WMN co-founder and award-winning journalist Jenny Kaplan. The bite-sized episodes pack painstakingly researched content into fun, entertaining, and addictive daily adventures.  Womanica was created by Liz Kaplan and Jenny Kaplan, executive produced by Jenny Kaplan, and produced by Grace Lynch, Maddy Foley, Brittany Martinez, Edie Allard, Lindsey Kratochwill, Adesuwa Agbonile, Carmen Borca-Carrillo, Taylor Williamson, Ale Tejeda, Sara Schleede, and Abbey Delk.

In this episode of On Book Podcast with The Hindu, we are joined by Arati Kumar-Rao, an artist, photographer and author of 'Marginlands', a book that chronicles a decade of travels to fringes of the subcontinent that journalism often leaves unexplored: the mangroves of the Sundarbans, the Thar desert and the tidepools of Goa.  In this podcast, Kumar-Rao talks about how she discovers a desert full of water, about the 40 names for clouds the people of the Thar have, how Tagore and Satyajit Ray inform her work, and her form of slow journalism.

Avery is joined Arati Sharma, a powerhouse in venture capital funding. She's the founding partner of Backbone Angels, a collective of all-women angel investors who focus on investing in Black, Indigenous, and women of color-led companies.  She also is a co-founder of Ghlee, a ghee-based skincare brand, which she started with her siblings. Previously, Arati rose through the ranks at Shopify, first as a community development manager and then as a director of marketing, working through the software company's $1 billion dollar IPO in 2015. Arati and Avery talk about what it was like working at one of the hottest tech startups during its heyday, the power of talking about wealth as women of color and why imposter syndrome might actually be good for you.

Visiting West Bengal during monsoon season, writer and photographer Arati Kumar-Rao bears witness to all that is formed and all that is destroyed in the swell and retreat of the Ganga. Struck by the immense power of the ancient river—a deity alive and accessible, benevolent and merciless—she wonders how human activity will continue to both affect and be determined by the will of its waters. As the Ganga transforms the lay of the land, shifting modern-day political boundaries, agricultural settlements, and historical constraints on its movement, Arati considers the confluence of the sacred and the profane.

In this episode, Hita and Michael speak with Arati Kumar Rao who describes herself as a chronicler of landscapes - of both biodiversity as well as livelihoods using all the storytelling tools she has at her disposal - from photographs to writing to sketching. She is based out of Bengaluru, India.  We speak about her enduring love for literature, writing, photography, and drawing and how that love translated into the work she does today. We talk of some of the stories from her experiences of chronicling landscape change across India and elsewhere that have stayed with her, and given her a sense of hope or despair as she navigates her own personal identity against those of the people she talks about. We speak of a particular historically practised form of rainwater harvesting in the deep Thar desert - the Khadeen - that is over 700 years old, and is intimately connected to agrarian practices in the region. We discuss the need to break down silos that exist across different disciplines or practice and to speak both to and across the social as well as the scientific stories of a landscape and how they need to be inclusive of the people that live and experience those stories in their daily lives. We speak about feeling the land with all of one's senses and how that is different from zooming across it in a vehicle, linking those ideas to the privilege that comes from being an ‘other' who studies people and livelihoods with the freedom of leaving that landscape and going back to the privilege we came from. Yet with the notion that we are not separate from what's happening around us. We end with a discussion on the multilayered and deep rooted patriarchy that a woman encounters when leading a traveller's lifestyle, both from within the communities she engages with, as well as the community she comes back to.    Arati's website: https://www.aratikumarrao.com/about   In Arati's own words, here is the story of the Khadeen: https://www.peepli.org/stories/miracle-of-sky-river/   She is also to found documenting stories of change on her Instagram handle: @aratikumarrao

किसकी शरण में जाऊं अशरण शरण तुम्हीं हो ॥गज ग्राह से छुड़ाया प्रह्लाद को बचाया।द्रौपदी का पट बढ़ाया  निर्बल के बल तुम्हीं हो ॥अति दीन था सुदामा आया तुम्हारे धामा।धनपति उसे बनाया  निर्धन के धन तुम्हीं हो ॥तारा सदन कसाई अजामिल की गति बनाई।गणिका सुपुर पठाई  पातक हरण तुम्हीं हो ॥मुझको तो हे बिहारी आशा है बस तुम्हारी।काहे सुरति बिसारी  मेरे तो एक तुम्हीं हो ॥Listen to Bhajan sung by Dr. Uma Shrivastava by clicking here.

तू दयालु, दीन हौं, तू दानि, हौं भिखारी।हौं प्रसिद्ध पातकी, तू पाप-पुंज-हारी॥नाथ तू अनाथ को, अनाथ कौन मोसो।मो समान आरत नहिं, आरतिहर तोसो॥ब्रह्म तू, हौं जीव, तू है ठाकुर, हौं चेरो।तात-मात, गुरु-सखा, तू सब विधि हितु मेरो॥तोहिं मोहिं नाते अनेक, मानियै जो भावै।ज्यों त्यों तुलसी कृपालु! चरन-सरन पावै॥Listen to Bhajan sung by Dr. Uma Shrivastava

जो भजे हरि को सदा सो परम पद पायेगा ..देह के माला तिलक और भस्म नहिं कुछ काम के .प्रेम भक्ति के बिना नहिं नाथ के मन भायेगा ..जो भजे हरि को सदा सो परम पद पायेगा ..दिल का दर्पण साफ कर और दूर कर अभिमान को .खाक हो गुरु के चरण की फिर जनम नहीं पायेगा ..जो भजे हरि को सदा सो परम पद पायेगा ..छोड़ दुनिया के मज़े और बैठ कर एकांत में .ध्यान धर हरि के चरण का तो प्रभु मिल जायेगा ..जो भजे हरि को सदा सो परम पद पायेगा ..दृढ़ भरोसा रख के मन में जो भजे हरि नाम को .कहत ब्रह्मानंद ब्रह्मानंद में ही समायेगा ..जो भजे हरि को सदा सो परम पद पायेगा ..Listen to Bhajan sung by Dr. Uma Shrivastava by clicking here.
