Podcasts about Bhagavad Gita

Swamiji reveals how God truly measures spiritual progress, drawing from Krishna's wisdom in the Bhagavad Gita. Growth is not about accumulating knowledge or external achievements, but about inner transformation — the purification of the heart, humility in conduct, and alignment of our actions with divine principles.  Through a powerful story, Swamiji illustrates that while the world often measures success by recognition, possessions, or intellectual mastery, God looks at what we have become. Even a single teaching of the Gita, when lived sincerely, can elevate the soul far more than volumes of knowledge left unpracticed.  Krishna's guidance reminds seekers that true progress is seen in the refinement of character — patience, compassion, detachment, and unwavering devotion. Knowledge without transformation is empty, but wisdom applied in daily life becomes the measure of real growth.  This teaching inspires us to stop comparing ourselves by worldly standards and instead ask: Has my heart become purer? Have my actions reflected Krishna's teachings? In this way, God's measure of growth is not external success but the depth of our bhakti and the sincerity of our transformation.  About Swami Mukundananda:    Swami Mukundananda is a renowned spiritual leader, Vedic scholar, Bhakti saint, best‑selling author, and an international authority on the subject of mind management.

In this episode, Swamiji narrates a touching story that reveals how God's grace and presence manifest in the lives of devotees in the most unexpected ways. He explains that Krishna is not bound by logic or human calculation; He responds to the sincerity of love and devotion.  Swamiji highlights that true love for God is selfless, unconditional, and free from demands. When the heart is filled with pure devotion, Krishna Himself appears — sometimes in subtle ways, sometimes in miraculous ones — to reassure the devotee of His eternal companionship.  Through the Radha‑Krishna story, Swamiji illustrates that God's love is greater than the soul's longing. Even when seekers feel distant or unworthy, Krishna finds ways to reach them, reminding us that divine grace is ever‑present.  This teaching matters because it inspires seekers to cultivate pure devotion without expectation. By surrendering with love, we discover that Krishna's presence is not a distant ideal but a living reality that uplifts, protects, and transforms our lives.  About Swami Mukundananda: Swami Mukundananda is a renowned spiritual leader, Vedic scholar, Bhakti saint, best‑selling author, and an international authority on the subject of mind management.

In this episode, Swamiji addresses the subtle but destructive emotion of envy. He begins by explaining how envy arises when we compare ourselves to others, feeling diminished by their success or possessions. This comparison robs us of peace and blinds us to our own blessings.  Drawing from Krishna's wisdom in the Bhagavad Gita, Swamiji emphasizes that envy is rooted in ignorance of our true spiritual identity. The soul is eternal and complete, and its worth is not defined by worldly measures. Krishna teaches that when we focus on self‑purification and devotion, envy dissolves naturally.  Swamiji illustrates with practical examples: how gratitude shifts our attention from what we lack to what we have, how humility allows us to celebrate others' success, and how surrendering to God frees us from the restless urge to compete. He explains that envy is conquered not by suppressing it but by elevating the mind to higher truths.  This teaching matters because it transforms relationships and inner life. By overcoming envy, seekers cultivate contentment, harmony, and joy. Krishna's path leads us to recognize that true fulfillment lies not in comparison but in connection with the Divine.  Link to the playlist: Bhagavad Gita for everyday living By Swami Mukundananda   

In this episode, Swamiji narrates a powerful story of five monks sent by their guru to preach in a distant land. Along the way, each monk is tempted by different distractions — wealth, comfort, relationships, recognition — until only one reaches the destination. The guru had foreseen this, teaching that the greatest obstacles are not external forces but inner weaknesses and unguarded desires.  Swamiji explains that, like the monks, many of us begin noble initiatives with enthusiasm but falter when temptations disguised as opportunities arise. These distractions do not announce themselves as dangers; they appear as security, comfort, or ego‑boosting recognition. Yet they quietly derail us from our higher purpose.  Drawing from Krishna's wisdom in the Bhagavad Gita (Chapter 2, Verse 64), Swamiji highlights how the mind becomes weak when absorbed in material pleasures, and how it can be strengthened by envisioning bliss in God. He emphasizes that divine attachment purifies the heart, while material absorption degrades it.  This teaching matters because it reminds seekers that true bravery lies not in starting the journey but in staying on course. By anchoring the mind in Krishna, we can resist subtle distractions, remain steadfast in our goals, and progress toward liberation.  About Swami Mukundananda: Swami Mukundananda is a renowned spiritual leader, Vedic scholar, Bhakti saint, best‑selling author, and an international authority on the subject of mind management.

Swamiji shares Krishna's wisdom on how to face life's most painful moments—times when suffering, fear, and anger can overwhelm the heart. Through the powerful real-life story of Immaculée Ilibagiza, a survivor of the Rwandan Genocide, he illustrates how faith and forgiveness can transform even the deepest wounds.  Drawing from the teachings of the Bhagavad Gita, Swamiji explains that holding onto hatred binds the heart in suffering, while forgiveness frees the soul. True strength lies not in revenge, but in choosing compassion, devotion, and inner peace.  This inspiring message reminds us that even when life breaks us, turning to God and embracing forgiveness can transform pain into spiritual strength and healing.  About Swami Mukundananda:    Swami Mukundananda is a renowned spiritual leader, Vedic scholar, Bhakti saint, best‑selling author, and an international authority on the subject of mind management.

 In this episode of Wisdom of the Sages, Raghunath and Kaustubha unpack a controversial passage from the Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam — the ancient Sanskrit text of Vedic wisdom centered on Krishna and the path of Bhakti Yoga. The story describes Krishna interacting with the gopīs of Vrindavan — the cowherd women whose consciousness was completely absorbed in devotion to Him. At first glance the scene appears morally troubling, but the sages explain that it reveals a deeper spiritual principle: divine love exists beyond ordinary moral frameworks. Along the way the discussion moves between the Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam, the Bhagavad Gita, Shakespeare, and classic jazz love songs, showing how even great romantic lyrics can echo the bhakti insight that the deepest love longs to give everything. In Bhakti Yoga this is called ātma-nivedanam, the complete offering of oneself to the Divine — and when devotion reaches that level, Krishna reciprocates and awakens the soul's highest consciousness. ******************************************************************** LOVE THE PODCAST?

The episode also explores how disciplined anger has historically driven meaningful change and how individuals can learn to transform reactive anger into conscious action.Episode BreakdownThe connection between Anger & Agni Why Anger isn't meant to be Suppressed Anger is a Secondary Emotion How Krishna Sees Anger as an EmotionTurning Anger in Your Favour How to Manage Anger Practically Timestamps00:00 – 02:00: The real question about anger02:00 – 04:00: Anger as fire in Ayurveda04:00 – 05:30: Anger vs frustration, fear, and sadness05:30 – 07:00: The Bhagavad Gita's psychological chain of anger07:00 – 11:30: What happens in the brain & body during anger12:30 – 15:30: When anger becomes constructive15:30 – 16:30: Destructive anger vs value-driven anger16:30 – 19:00: A practical framework for managing angerAbout Dr Vignesh Devraj Dr Vignesh Devraj is a fourth-generation Ayurvedic physician and the founder of Sitaram Retreat, Kerala, a space for authentic healing.

What if everything you've been told about enlightenment is wrong? What if presence isn't something you achieve — it's something you already are? In this special episode, Harmony opens the doors to her Inner Circle community and invites you to sit in on the first session of a year-long study of one of the most transformative books in modern spiritual literature: The Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle. Chapter One centers on one of the most radical ideas in all of spiritual teaching: You are not your mind. The thoughts, the planning, the remembering, the judging — that's not you. You are the one who observes all of it. And the moment you truly understand that? Something begins to shift. This episode references and reads selections from The Power of Now: A Guide to Spiritual Enlightenment by Eckhart Tolle (New World Library, 1999). All quoted material remains the property of the author and publisher and is used here for educational discussion purposes. In this episode, you'll explore: Why yoga philosophy and The Power of Now are pointing at the same truth How attachment to psychological time (past and future) creates suffering The difference between enlightenment as a superhuman goal and your most natural state What it means to 'watch the thinker' — and what opens up when you do Why the body is always a truthful reflection of the mind Emotions as energy: why bypassing them keeps you stuck The three root baskets of human pain: safety, belonging, and enoughness How the Anandamaya Kosha (the bliss body) maps to Tolle's 'radiant joy of being' Real-life stories from community members practicing presence with teenagers, island power outages, and sick kids Your homework: How to watch your thoughts this month This conversation weaves together the Yoga Sutras, Bhagavad Gita, Sankhya philosophy, and The Power of Now in a way that is grounded, practical, and deeply alive. Whether you're new to Eckhart Tolle or you've read the book a dozen times, this session will make the teachings land in a new way. INNER CIRCLE — CLOSING MARCH 25TH Harmony's Inner Circle is open now and closes on March 25th for the rest of the year.

Send a textRahul N Singh returns to The Bearded Mystic Podcast after 3–4 months to reflect on spirituality, especially seva (selfless service), humility, and remaining an observer rather than the doer amid praise and criticism. He discusses measuring humility by seeing others as the highest, God, or Guru, and notes how family feedback can reveal ego. He shares that increased reading has deepened his sense of “not knowing,” while non-dual, Formless Awareness feels undeniable and effortless when not forcing outcomes. Referencing his Guru's teaching on self-introspection (artan), he describes witnessing thoughts, emotions, roles, and challenges without identifying with them, cultivating detachment and peace. He outlines stages of disidentification from body, mind, and even soul/jeev imprints, warning that ego can co-opt ideas like “I am God.” He invites listener reflections and plans more episodes now that his son is in school.Support the showSupport me via Paypal: https://www.paypal.biz/beardedmysticJoin our Discord Server: https://discord.gg/hnRf7wESwXVisit my website: https://www.thebeardedmysticpodcast.com/Want a one-on-one spiritual discussion with The Bearded Mystic - book here: https://www.thebeardedmysticpodcast.com/p/spiritual-discussion/You can follow me and contact me on social media:TikTok: https://vm.tiktok.com/ZMdk3HPJh/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thebeardedmysticpodcast/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/TheBeardedMysticPodcast/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/The-Bearded-Mystic-PodcastBluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/beardedmystic.bsky.socialBecome a Patron: https://www.patreon.com/thebeardedmysticpodcast

We discuss the main points of this foundational Hindu scripture, which recounts a discussion between the warrior Arjuna and his charioteer, Krishna on the eve of an apocalyptic battle. We also discuss debates around its authorship and explore the profound influence it had on Mahatma Gandhi, who didn't read it until he was a young law student in London, when some friends he made at a vegetarian restaurant recommended it to him.

In addition to our chanting 16 rounds daily, we must all read at least one chapter of the Bhagavad-gītā. Read one chapter one day then go on to the next chapter the next day and in this way, after 18 days, we will have completed one reading. After four or five such complete reading we will know Bhagavad-gītā as it is and our questions and doubts will be answered.

Chapter 5, v. 6-10 Bhagavad Gita Chapter 5 teaches how karma yoga purifies the mind and reveals the freedom of non-doership. This episode examines why renunciation is difficult without yoga, how selfish motive binds the soul, and how offering all actions to God dissolves the sense of doership. Learn how the lotus leaf metaphor illustrates living fully in the world while remaining inwardly free. This teaching illuminates the path of selfless service, purification of the mind, and awakening through daily life.

We recently completed Chapter 6 of the Bhagavad Gita — a raw and honest moment where Arjuna admits, "My mind is more restless than the wind." But before we dive into Chapter 7 (where everything shifts), I want to pause and explore an important question that naturally arises right here: How do the yogic teachings on Ananda (bliss) compare to the Christian understanding of grace — and why do these two paths feel so different in the body? This episode is a bridge — between effort and surrender, empowerment and comfort, self-regulation and devotion — as we explore this question from a comparative, academic, and curious lens.  This is not to prescribe belief, but to deepen understanding and set the stage for what's coming next in the Gita.

Electric motors without rare earths, a hardware-first climate tech startup, and a mission to replace 1 billion gas engines in a decade. In this SPOTLIGHT episode, Abhay speaks with Ankit Somani, CEO and cofounder of Conifer, about redesigning electric motors and powertrains with simple, widely available materials so electrification can actually scale.They break down what rare earth materials really are, why they're so toxic and geopolitically fragile, and how that impacts everything from EVs and data centers to humanoid robots and everyday devices. Ankit explains why Conifer is betting on hardware in a software-obsessed world, what it takes to raise capital for hard tech, and how to tell a big, unconventional story that still feels real to customers and investors.The conversation also dives into affordability, why consumers choose “cool and fun” products long before they care about emissions, and how things like e‑bikes and cleaner small machines (like leaf blowers) can change daily life and local air quality. Ankit reflects on what he had to unlearn from big companies like Google, why patience and brutal feedback define startup culture, and how his Indian American journey, parenting, and the Bhagavad Gita shape his views on action, success, and legacy.00:00 – Introduction and why reimagining how we do things matters01:47 – Conifer's mission to replace 1 billion gas engines03:39 – Engines, electric motors, and rare earth materials 101 (toxicity, supply chains, and climate)12:32 – Building a hardware-first climate tech startup in a software-obsessed world15:36 – Raising capital for hard tech and telling an unconventional, big vision story18:13 – Sposor Break: Travelopod18:48 – Selling electrification: cool, fun, and affordable vs. abstract climate consciousness25:08 – From big tech to startups: patience, humility, and real-world feedback loops33:08 – Indian American founder, education, parenting, and the Bhagavad Gita on action and legacy39:09 – What Ankit wants Conifer to stand for: trust, honesty, and long-term impactShout out to ASAN (American South Asian Network) for everything they are doing, to Neesha for turning 30, to Farhan Akhtar for the upcoming sitar lessons, and to Akshay Bhatia for the effort and almost bringing it home at Pebble Beach!TRUST ME I KNOW WHAT I'M DOING is brought to you by TRAVELOPOD, with personalized travel support to help you explore the wonders of the world.  Start your next journey at vacation.travelopod.com

We're exploring the 16th essential verse from the Shrimad Bhagavad Gita. In Chapter 5, Verse 17, Shri Krishna shares the plan for contemplation, forming the seed for Chapter 6. By steadily listening to the Truth, sincerely reflecting, and contemplating with strength, we shift from ego to Spirit and realize our nature as Divinity—Being Joyful and Serene beyond the purest.➡️ To maximize your experience of this season, we encourage you to request your FREE copy of the Essential Love eBook.

In this episode of the Kriya Yoga Podcast, Ryan Kurczak responds to a thoughtful question many sincere practitioners ask. What happens when we enter the Kriya path through clarity, discrimination, and philosophical coherence—yet feel hesitant around devotion? When Sāṃkhya's precision builds trust in the process, the Bhagavad Gita offers a first glimpse of theistic meaning, and Krishna appears as a guide rather than a belief—how do we understand devotion without forcing symbolism or sentiment? Ryan explores how devotion unfolds organically on the Kriya Yoga path, especially for those whose orientation begins with insight rather than bhakti. He speaks to the natural maturation of devotion as practice deepens, the subtle shift from conceptual understanding to experienced inner relationship, and the role of patience, honesty, and inner readiness. This conversation gently addresses whether devotion should be cultivated intentionally through study and openness, or allowed to arise on its own through sustained practice—and how both approaches can harmonize within a yogic worldview. A grounded, clarifying episode of The Kriya Yoga Podcast. -

It's Chapter Six of the Bhagavad Gita, where everything starts to get real. After five chapters of philosophy and frameworks, Krishna now turns to practice—specifically the challenges of meditation, discipline, and staying steady on your spiritual path. If your mind feels too restless to meditate... if you wonder whether your practice actually counts... or if you've ever feared you're "doing it wrong"—this chapter will soothe your soul.

Donald Trump says God is proud of him. During a bizarre, softball-filled press appearance marking his first year back in office, Trump claimed divine approval for his presidency—offered without evidence or irony. We unpack the religious delusion, the collapse of press accountability, and what it means when a sitting president openly frames himself as God's chosen leader. Beyond Trump, we take on a parade of church–state absurdities: Florida prisons ban the Bhagavad Gita for being "written in code," Oklahoma sheriffs tout Christian jailhouse conversions until lawyers step in, and a Texas county installs a Ten Commandments monument to dare the courts to stop them. We also cover Catholic leaders warning that U.S. foreign policy has lost its moral compass, new Pew data showing Catholicism rapidly declining in Latin America, and a sharp debate over protesters disrupting a Minnesota church linked to an ICE official—forcing the question of where religious freedom ends and accountability begins.
