Podcasts about Bhagavad Gita

“Prabhupada Picks” refers to a selection of verses from the 10th Canto of the Srimad Bhagavatam that Srila Prabhupada memorized himself and quoted very frequently in his teachings. List of verses are in the description here: https://youtu.be/8teL06bAL1o Verse for discussion: https://vedabase.io/en/library/sb/10/1/13 ------------------------------------------------------------ My friend, Dave Dibberne, I forget which birthday it was. He was so fanatical about music that for his birthday he asked for a particular record. Unfortunately, he asked everybody for it. Kids, in the old days, there used to be records. There were no computers, live streams, or anything like that. You would get a vinyl disc, this big. It was called a 45. It had to play on a turntable, just bringing it up to speed. It's a physical object. It had two songs, one on each side. That's all you got. It cost a couple of dollars, and that was a lot of money back then. He got the same song from seven people. It was called “Monday, Monday.” He tried to listen as much as he could, but after a while, he just got really tired of it, and he didn't like the song anymore. He wished he had asked for something else. And that's what happens in the material world. Everyone wishes they asked for something else after a while, because whatever we get here, it gets old, fast or slow. Either way, it runs out. We run out of thirst for it. But spiritual thirst, you can go on drinking. You can go on hearing that is over and over again, and it never gets old. No one's ever complained that the Bhagavad Gita is boring because every time you hear it, it has new meaning. Srimad Bhagavatam is something you can embark upon for your lifetime. This lifetime, if you would like, you can volunteer today. We're going to put it out there on the table, to read and dedicate the rest of your life to hearing the Srimad Bhagavatam. Get a PhD in the Srimad Bhagavatam. Am I making sense? And I guarantee you won't come to the end of it, even if you spend the rest of your life studying the Srimad Bhagavatam very deeply every day with full concentration, you will have bouts of ecstasy in reading The Bhagavatam, listening to the verses, the poem, the poetics of it, and also the very contact with the sound vibration will enliven you. This is the beautiful statement of Srila Prabhupada that: "The entire world is suffering because of spiritual thirst." And so you can make it your mission if you want to do something good for people — to help quench their thirst spiritually. ------------------------------------------------------------ To connect with His Grace Vaiśeṣika Dāsa, please visit https://www.fanthespark.com/next-steps/ask-vaisesika-dasa/ ------------------------------------------------------------ Add to your wisdom literature collection: https://iskconsv.com/book-store/ https://www.bbtacademic.com/books/ https://thefourquestionsbook.com/ ------------------------------------------------------------ Join us live on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/FanTheSpark/ Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/sound-bhakti/id1132423868 For the latest videos, subscribe https://www.youtube.com/@FanTheSpark For the latest in SoundCloud: https://soundcloud.com/fan-the-spark ------------------------------------------------------------

In this episode of The Infinite Spark of Being Podcast, we explore the profound psychological and spiritual teachings of the Bhagavad Gita, focusing on the inner battle between the small self (the conscious mind) and the Divine Mind (the superconscious).Through the dialogue between Arjuna and Krishna, this ancient text maps the modern human struggle between confusion and clarity, fear and trust, identity and truth. This isn't about ego—it's about remembering who you truly are and learning to hear the voice of the Divine within.Whether you're in the middle of a life transition, feeling overwhelmed, or simply seeking clarity on your path, this episode offers deep, practical insights rooted in sacred wisdom.

What does it mean to take action without attachment—especially when your Dharma feels messy, uncomfortable, or misunderstood? In this episode, I dive deep into Chapter 3 of the Bhagavad Gita, where Krishna teaches Karma Yoga—the path of selfless action—to a conflicted Arjuna. We explore how to navigate the tension between duty and desire, and why authentic action is essential for both spiritual growth and collective harmony. I break down:

Professor Kozlowski presents a woefully inadequate look at some key ideas in the political philosophy of China and India, specifically:Lao-Tzu's Tao Te ChingThe Analects of ConfuciusMo-TzuThe Laws of ManuAlong the way we'll talk about the differences between Eastern and Western attitudes toward virtue, rule, and government, as well as how these texts take on a very different perspective from those we've seen in Ancient Greece....and then we won't talk about them again until the 20th century or so. Alas - we still need to make room for all that Marx and Hobbes.I will (one day) upload the document I've produced for my students, which excerpts each of the above texts, to my website, so you may be able to find it there.Additional readings include: Mencius, Sun-Tzu's The Art of War, Intrigues of the Warring States, The Romance of the Three Kingdoms, the Bhagavad-Gita, and Fire Emblem for my gamer fans.If you're interested in Professor Kozlowski's other online projects, check out his website: ⁠⁠⁠professorkozlowski.wordpress.com

When parents or caregivers work with children, especially those with special needs, their primary objective is to help the child learn new skills and gain independence. This includes teaching the child how to eat on their own or try new foods, which can significantly support their growth and development.However, it is not uncommon for parents to lose patience during this process, especially when progress seems slow or when the child resists new tasks. In such moments, frustration can lead to a shift in focus—parents may become more concerned with asserting control or “winning” the situation rather than prioritizing the child's learning and emotional well-being. This approach can be harmful and counterproductive in the long run.Parents may unconsciously focus on their own emotional needs, such as feeling in control or forcing the child to comply, rather than recognizing the child's needs. This often stems from frustration or a desire to avoid perceived failure. The Bhagavad Gita addresses this tendency when it says:“सर्वे गुणा: कर्मसिद्धि: सर्वं प्रपद्यते।”(Bhagavad Gita)-All actions are influenced by nature's gunas (qualities); the goal should be to align one's actions with a higher purpose, not out of personal ego.#gita #bhagwat #bhagwatgita #shrimadbhagwatgeeta #shrimadbhagwat #child #kid #patienceisavirtue #patience #viralreelsvideo #trending #today #gyan #gyankibaat #parenting #parenthood #fatherhood #fatherly #mentalhealth #parentingishard #parentingtips #tricks #surprisesurprise #surprise #latest

Virtual Reality in India has long been seen as a futuristic gaming gimmick flashy, expensive, and niche. But that’s changing. Host Anirban Chowdhury and ETs Rajesh Naidu talk to national award winning film maker Ram Madhvani (Neerja, Aarya) who is reimagining VR as a cultural and spiritual experience. His latest project? A five-minute immersive film on the Bhagavad Gita not for streaming, but to be experienced through VR headsets in temples, forts, and museums across India. With plans to roll out 100 such films by 2028 and place headsets in cultural hubs, Madhvani wants to democratize VR not through Silicon Valley, but through Bharat. Priced at just ₹100, these bite-sized experiences could bring in pilgrims, students, and families, not just gamers and techies. As India’s spiritual tourism surges and the government pushes cultural pride, could this be the unlikely tipping point for VR adoption in the country? We dive into the vision, the tech, the economics and the big bet on storytelling as India’s gateway to the metaverse.Tune in.You can follow Rajesh Naidu on his Linkedin, Twitter profiles and read his Newspaper Articles.

Purusarthas – 4 Desires – MokshaMoksha is the ultimate desire...liberation from ignorance (avidya), the cycle of birth and death (samsara), and the effects of karma. It is the realization of one's true self (Atman), transcending the ego and achieving union with the divine (Brahman), leading to eternal bliss and peace.Yogis pursue Moksha through various paths: Hatha Yoga (physical practices), Raja Yoga (meditation), Jnana Yoga (knowledge), Karma Yoga (selfless service), and Bhakti Yoga (devotion). By practicing self-inquiry, mindfulness, and non-attachment (vairagya), they purify the mind and cultivate virtues such as compassion and forgiveness.Sacred texts like the Upanishads and Bhagavad Gita offer insights into Moksha, while guidance from a guru or one's inner wisdom (buddhi) aids the journey. Devotion and surrender help yogis transcend the ego and merge with the divine. With dedication and grace, Moksha brings profound liberation and spiritual transcendence, fulfilling the soul's deepest longing.To read more and to practice with Zephyr Wildman, click here.

Following the example of Arjuna, this is a guided meditation to seek divine guidance to find solutions to some of the biggest challenges we are facing in our lives. If followed with faith and humility, seekers will certainly receive inner guidance leading to successful resolution of their life challenges.Based specifically on Bhagavad Gita, 2.7:कार्पण्यदोषोपहतस्वभाव:पृच्छामि त्वां धर्मसम्मूढचेता: |यच्छ्रेय: स्यान्निश्चितं ब्रूहि तन्मेशिष्यस्तेऽहं शाधि मां त्वां प्रपन्नम् || 7||kārpaṇya-doṣhopahata-svabhāvaḥpṛichchhāmi tvāṁ dharma-sammūḍha-chetāḥyach-chhreyaḥ syānniśhchitaṁ brūhi tanmeśhiṣhyaste 'haṁ śhādhi māṁ tvāṁ prapannamI am confused about my duty, and am besieged with anxiety and faintheartedness.

Hello everyone! This week, we will look at the month of August.Bhagavad Gita 18.47: It is better to do one's own dharma, even though imperfectly, than to do another's dharma, even though perfectly. Perhaps the most influential transits of the month are Venus in Gemini, Mars oppose Saturn, and the Sun entering its own sign of Leo... Mars in Virgo will bring in a grounding energy and will shift our focus to health, daily rituals, and practical service - on a personal and global level. It's a powerful time for healing the body, mind, and spirit. It is also powerful for clearing clutter and refining what's not working.It is a beautiful time to offer service to others by offering time, energy, or resources to what we care about. There will be a global call to action concerning humanitarian efforts and addressing humanitarian crises. Mars and Saturn sit in opposition, bringing tension between discipline and action, restriction and willpower. This can cause a "stop-go" energy. We may struggle in knowing how to direct our energy or how to use our energy wisely. It's possible we experience limitations internally or externally. In this podcast, we discuss practical ways to move through this period with grace and strategy.Venus in Gemini adds a playful, intellectual essence to our relationships, highlighting the beauty of platonic love. We explore how spiritually enriching our soul-deep friendships can be.On a collective level, issues related to water, flooding, or natural disasters may continue to be prominent. We're reminded of nature's force and the need to care for both the planet and our own internal tides.YOUTUBE:D9 exploration:https://youtu.be/HTgYcjltyasCharacteristics of Your Spouse:https://youtu.be/i_cOvdSbjy0Soulmate Astrologyhttps://youtu.be/ExnDysvjzUwChristine:website: innerknowing.yogainstagram: astrologynow_podcastpatreon: patreon.com/astrologynowpodcast keywords: astrology, jyotish, Vedic astrology, sidereal astrology, nakshatras,  spirituality, Christine Rodriguez, aries, libra, scorpio, libra, capricorn, Nakshatra, new moon, taurus, Venus, Jupiter, Pisces, Spirituality, horoscope, retrograde, eclipse, solar eclipse, new moon, lunar eclipse

Reading a chapter of Bhagavad-gītā makes you smart, because the Bhagavad-gītā is, as Prabhupāda describes, The Vedic intelligence. It's all there in one place, and Kṛṣṇa is speaking himself. So you get to hear directly from Kṛṣṇa, and you have your intelligence fortified by the Vedic intelligence. So, which would you rather have: the intelligence of the combined forces of everyone who posts on the internet, consumed in 10-second bites at a rate of about 50 per 30 seconds, or would you rather have the infusion of Kṛṣṇa's words and His intelligence?

This week I'm considering two spiritual classics from very different traditions: the Bhagavad Gita and the Rule of St. Benedict—well, sort of. Due to a packing mishap and a limited bookstore selection, I ended up reading Benedict's Way, a modern commentary that includes excerpts from the Rule, rather than the Rule itself. Not ideal, but still worthwhile.I also tried a technique I've used before: reading both texts in tandem, switching back and forth every few sections. The hope was to let the texts “talk” to each other. While the Gita turned out to be far more cohesive than I expected, the method still worked; it helped me reflect more deeply and spot some surprising resonances.The Bhagavad Gita, a Hindu sacred text, is a dialog between Krishna and the warrior Arjuna, who is paralyzed by moral doubt on the battlefield. Krishna urges him to act according to his dharma—his essential nature and duty—without attachment to outcomes. It's a powerful reflection on purpose, identity, and spiritual freedom. And despite some troubling implications about who gets access to enlightenment, it's my favorite of all the Eastern texts so far.Meanwhile, Benedict's Way offered a glimpse into monastic—and any kind of communal— life centered on humility, community, and attentiveness to God and neighbor. It's full of practical, humane wisdom, from leadership advice to a firm stance on not grumbling.Together, these texts suggest that joy, discipline, and love of the divine aren't exclusive to one tradition. And both offer something compelling for modern life.This is a year-long reading project! Next week: Augustine's Confessions.

What if the path to spiritual awakening begins with burnout?In this episode, we welcome Stine, a new yoga teacher and businesswoman, who shares her journey from burnout to bhakti. Drawing from Vedic wisdom, we unpack the societal obsession with overwork and fear-driven success, and how detachment and open-hearted living can lead to true transformation.Reflecting on the Bhagavad Gita, we challenge the capitalist fixation on outcomes and share personal stories of the courage it takes to pursue a spiritually focused life—one that often feels isolating but has the power to inspire.We also touch on spiritual burnout, the importance of balance, and the role of mindfulness and mantra in daily life. It's an honest, heartfelt conversation for anyone seeking deeper purpose and a more conscious path.(0:00:00) - From Burnout to Bhakti(0:04:43) - Navigating Material Frustration and Spiritual Growth(0:18:32) - The Reality of Spiritual Burnout(0:24:43) - Sincerity of Purpose and Selfless ServiceWant to connect further?Instagram: www.instagram.com/radhika_dasa/Facebook: www.facebook.com/radhikadasmusicYouTube: www.youtube.com/c/RadhikaDasWebsite: www.radhikadas.comPatreon: www.patreon.com/radhikadasLinktree: linktr.ee/radhika_dasa

Send us a textGuru Purnima celebrates the sacred relationship between spiritual teacher and disciple, honoring the guru's role in revealing our true nature as formless awareness. The ultimate gift a guru offers is showing us that when we realize our nature is bliss, we no longer merely feel peace—we become peace itself.• The guru serves as a medium for highest wisdom, revealing Brahm Gyan (knowledge of formless reality)• True devotion to the guru means living in awareness of formless consciousness, not just offering praise• Ethical teachings from gurus guide householders in balancing spiritual life with worldly responsibilities• Householder path and monk path are equally valid—what matters is following your natural tendencies• Spiritual growth comes through guru's grace rather than personal effort• Being a sincere disciple means embodying the teachings in daily life• The mark of true realization is maintaining awareness of the formless even when not in the guru's presenceThank you for listening to this Guru Purnima episode.

The Purusharthas are the four fundamental aims of human life in Hindu philosophy, guiding individuals toward a balanced and meaningful existence.Dharma – One's purpose and moral duty, fulfilling ethical responsibilities.Artha – Material wealth and resources needed to support Dharma.Kama – The pursuit of desires, pleasure, and emotional fulfillment.Moksha – Spiritual liberation and self-realization, the ultimate goal.The term "Purushartha" combines Purusha, meaning pure consciousness, and Artha, meaning purpose or goal. Together, they signify the pursuit of purpose, prosperity, pleasure, and liberation.Ancient texts such as the Vedas, Bhagavad Gita, and Ramayana provide insights on achieving these goals. Balancing all four leads to inner fulfillment, harmony, spiritual wisdom, and unity with pure consciousness. Though Moksha is often prioritised, embracing all Purusharthas allows for a fulfilling, well-rounded life that integrates material, emotional, and spiritual well-being.To read more and to practice with Zephyr Wildman, click here.

What does it mean to act without attachment—and why is that the key to spiritual freedom? Chapter 2 of the Bhagavad Gita is so rich, I had to split it into two parts—and this second half is where the real philosophical firepower kicks in

As souls on a spiritual journey, striving to deepen our connection with the Supreme Person, Krishna, we inevitably encounter periods that feel dry and unfulfilling. The Bhagavad Gita, in its profound wisdom, speaks of the cyclical nature of life, of happiness and distress arriving like the summer and winter seasons (BG 2.14). These “dry seasons” […] The post Dry Seasons appeared first on Radha Krishna Temple in Utah.

What I've talked about today is being renounced where it counts. And there is a lesson to be learned in this world, because the whole world is available to us through our senses in various ways. Our responsibility is to learn which things to leave behind and which things to pick up. Make a list. In fact, I wrote it in my book. This one I keep with me every day. Did any of you have a to-do list? Anybody keep a to-do list? Only five people. This is scary. Okay. Well, I recommend you keep a not-to-do list. Try it, because you may have been struggling with a particular habit and you thought, 'Why do I keep doing this?' It's because it's not in your not-to-do list! Make a list and just see how powerful that is. Yeah, there's a to-do list, and it keeps growing longer, right? You keep thinking, 'I gotta do this, I gotta do that,' and you still haven't finished it all. And I hate to bring up a sore subject, but when you die, it's still going to be full. And a lot of people think, 'Oh, I didn't finish. I didn't finish. I didn't finish.' Do yourself a favor and write a not-to-do list, even if you put one thing on it—that one thing that keeps bugging you, where you can't feel your own integrity because you keep doing this one thing that makes you look in the mirror and think, 'Why am I still doing something like this?' Put it on your not-to-do list. And then, add to your to-do list the most important things: First important thing is Chant Hare Krishna.Second, read Bhagavad Gita. Third is, get some service! ----------------------------------------------------------- To connect with His Grace Vaiśeṣika Dāsa, please visit https://www.fanthespark.com/next-steps/ask-vaisesika-dasa/ ------------------------------------------------------------ Add to your wisdom literature collection: https://iskconsv.com/book-store/ https://www.bbtacademic.com/books/ https://thefourquestionsbook.com/ ------------------------------------------------------------ Join us live on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/FanTheSpark/ Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/sound-bhakti/id1132423868 For the latest videos, subscribe https://www.youtube.com/@FanTheSpark For the latest in SoundCloud: https://soundcloud.com/fan-the-spark ------------------------------------------------------------ #spiritualawakening #soul #spiritualexperience #spiritualpurposeoflife #spiritualgrowthlessons #secretsofspirituality #vaisesikaprabhu #vaisesikadasa #vaisesikaprabhulectures #spirituality #bhaktiyoga #krishna #spiritualpurposeoflife #krishnaspirituality #spiritualusachannel #whybhaktiisimportant #whyspiritualityisimportant #vaisesika #spiritualconnection #thepowerofspiritualstudy #selfrealization #spirituallectures #spiritualstudy #spiritualquestions #spiritualquestionsanswered #trendingspiritualtopics #fanthespark #spiritualpowerofmeditation #spiritualteachersonyoutube #spiritualhabits #spiritualclarity #bhagavadgita #srimadbhagavatam #spiritualbeings #kttvg #keepthetranscendentalvibrationgoing #spiritualpurpose

What if your stuckness, your suffering, even your failure to “get it right” on the spiritual path… is not a detour, but the path itself? In this compelling conversation, Vedic teacher Acharya Shunya meets with Phil Goldberg, bestselling author of American Veda and the forthcoming Karmic Relief: Harnessing the Laws of Cause and Effect for a Joyful, Meaningful Life (releasing October 2025). Together, they explore the deeper teachings of karma, yoga, imperfection, and inner transformation beyond spiritual clichés. Topics include: What karma really means (it's not a punishment system!) How modern yoga lost its roots—and what we can reclaim Why the Bhagavad Gita, not the Yoga Sutras, is the yogi's true guide The danger of performative sadhana vs. sincere practice How pain can teach what pleasure cannot This conversation will land for seekers who've outgrown “quick-fix” spirituality—and want the real thing: a path that's raw, honest, wise, and human.  Phil Goldberg is a respected voice in global yoga circles and the host of Spirit Matters Podcast. He's been immersed in Vedic teachings for over 50 years.  Season 2 of Shadow to Self is themed “Yoga Burns Again”—a call to rekindle the true fire of inner awakening.  Learn more at: PhilipGoldberg.com | AcharyaShunya.com  Karmic Relief releases October 2025
