Podcasts about everyday living

  In this episode, Swamiji shares the inspiring story of Joni Eareckson Tada, who became a quadriplegic at 17 after a diving accident. Her journey from anger, depression, and suicidal thoughts to becoming an acclaimed author, artist, and founder of a global disability ministry illustrates the power of resilience. Joni explains that her secret lies in disciplining herself to give thanks in all circumstances — gratitude became her reflex reaction.  Swamiji connects this attitude to Krishna's wisdom in the Bhagavad Gita (5.1), where He teaches Arjun that yogis renounce attachment and perform actions with body, senses, mind, and intellect solely for purification. True success, Swamiji explains, is measured not by external achievements but by inner purification. Elevated yogis welcome adversity as opportunities to cleanse the heart, remaining equanimous in success and failure, fame and infamy, comfort and discomfort.  This teaching matters because it reframes setbacks as divine gifts for growth. By cultivating gratitude and focusing on purification, seekers can rise stronger from adversity, awaken their inner power, and progress steadily 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. He is the founder of the unique yogic system called JKYog. Swamiji holds distinguished degrees in Engineering and Management from two of India's most prestigious institutions—IIT and IIM.

  In this episode, Swamiji explains how many of life's problems appear overwhelming not because of their actual size, but because of the size we give them in our own minds. He begins with humorous and revealing stories — like the Mensa members overcomplicating a simple salt‑and‑pepper mix‑up, and a cargo truck stuck under a bridge that was freed by a child's simple idea of letting air out of the tires.  Swamiji emphasizes that our brilliant minds often complicate what could be solved with simplicity. He urges seekers to pause and ask: Am I making this harder than it really is? Am I looking for a clever answer instead of the right one?  Drawing from the Bhagavad Gita (Chapter 16, Verse 1), Swamiji highlights saintly virtues such as fearlessness, purity of mind, steadfastness in spiritual knowledge, charity, and straightforwardness. He explains that true strength comes from reframing challenges — not making mountains out of molehills, but seeing difficulties as opportunities for growth.  Swamiji concludes with Krishna's practical formula:  Don't let the mind make problems bigger than they are.  Don't overthink into more stress.  Ask yourself, could it have been worse?  Always look for the simpler solution.  This teaching matters because it empowers seekers to live with clarity and peace, turning crises into manageable situations and cultivating divine virtues in everyday life.  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 explains Krishna's teaching on the extraordinary power of the human mind and how it can be harnessed to overcome even the most difficult challenges. Drawing from the Bhagavad Gita, he emphasizes that setbacks are inevitable in life, but they need not defeat us if we cultivate the right mental attitude.  Swamiji shares real‑life stories and scriptural insights to show how resilience, determination, and faith transform obstacles into opportunities. He explains that the mind, when disciplined and aligned with dharma, becomes our greatest ally. Krishna assures that those who dedicate their thoughts and actions to Him gain inner strength that allows them to rise above adversity.  Through practical guidance, Swamiji highlights how to train the mind:  Replace negative self‑talk with positive, God‑centered thoughts.  Focus on effort rather than obsessing over results.  Practice meditation and devotion to anchor the mind in higher purpose.  Listeners are encouraged to see setbacks as divine training, cultivating patience and perseverance. This teaching matters because it empowers seekers to live courageously, transform failures into stepping stones, and progress steadily 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.

In this episode we meet Rabbanit Shayna Goldberg, mashgicha ruchanit and teacher to Israeli and American post-high school students in Migdal Oz, an affiliate of Yeshivat Har Etzion. Shayna is also a yoetzet halacha, a contributing editor for Deracheha: Womenandmitzvot.org, co-host of the podcast "Women Talking Mitzvot" and the author of the book: What Do You Really Want? Trust and Fear in Decision Making at Life's Crossroads and in Everyday Living, and we found a great deal of common ground. We discuss her role in helping young women to grow while staying connected to their home and roots, how she empowers them to take responsibility for their own decisions, how she helps them hear themselves in this process, and her conscious aim for lasting rather than drastic change. We cover the changes she's seen in her career, a move towards questioning authority in her students' search for meaning, and the growing hunger to know how halachic decisions are made, as well as what motivates her to write and the surprising way in which that began. We also touch on the growing world of female leadership, contrasts between the secular and Jewish worlds in these areas, and our hopes for the future. Shayna's book, What Do You Really Want?  can be purchased from Koren Publishers. This podcast is powered by LSJS.

Never Lose Hope: Krishna's Teaching on Divine Transformation — Bhagavad Gita for Everyday Living by Swami Mukundananda  In this episode, Swamiji narrates the inspiring story of a young man whose life was transformed in a single moment by God's grace. Once lost in despair and destructive habits, he experienced a profound inner shift when he turned to the Lord with sincerity. Swamiji uses this real-life example to emphasize Krishna's assurance in the Bhagavad Gita: no matter how far one has strayed, divine compassion can uplift and redeem instantly.  Swamiji explains that hope is not mere optimism, but a spiritual conviction rooted in Krishna's promise. He highlights how prayer, surrender, and devotion awaken the Lord's grace, enabling seekers to overcome even the darkest trials. This teaching reminds us that transformation is always possible, and that the Lord never abandons those who seek Him wholeheartedly.  Listeners are encouraged to hold on to hope, even in moments of despair, knowing that Krishna's mercy can change the course of life in an instant. This episode matters because it instills courage, faith, and resilience, guiding seekers toward liberation and spiritual growth.  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. He is the founder of the unique yogic system called JKYog. Swamiji holds distinguished degrees in Engineering and Management from two of India's most prestigious institutions—IIT and IIM. Having taken the renounced order of life (sanyas), he is the senior disciple of Jagadguru Shree Kripaluji Maharaj, and has been sharing Vedic wisdom across the globe for decades.  

  In this episode, Swamiji reveals Shree Krishna's timeless formula for mastering focus and achieving success. He begins with the inspiring story of a young boy who, despite losing his left arm, mastered judo by learning just one throw. His weakness became his greatest strength, teaching us that single‑pointed focus can transform limitations into victories.  Swamiji further illustrates the power of attention with vivid examples — from laser beams cutting through diamonds to everyday mistakes caused by scattered minds. He shares humorous anecdotes, like the florist's mix‑up, to show how lack of focus leads to errors, while disciplined concentration unlocks extraordinary potential.  Drawing from Bhagavad Gita Chapter 6, verses 19–21, Swamiji explains Krishna's teaching that a yogi's mind, like a lamp in a windless place, remains steady when absorbed in meditation. Such focus leads to samadhi, where one experiences boundless divine bliss and never deviates from eternal truth.  This episode matters because it shows seekers how to overcome distractions, channel their energy, and align their intellect with Krishna's wisdom. By cultivating razor‑sharp focus through devotion and meditation, one can achieve goals faster, live purposefully, 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. He is the founder of the unique yogic system called JKYog. Swamiji holds distinguished degrees in Engineering and Management from two of India's most prestigious institutions—IIT and IIM. Having taken the renounced order of life (sanyas), he is the senior disciple of Jagadguru Shree Kripaluji Maharaj, and has been sharing Vedic wisdom across the globe for decades. 

  In this episode, Swamiji explains why hard work sometimes fails to yield the expected results and how Krishna redefines success in the Bhagavad Gita. He begins with the story of Eugen Herrigel learning archery under Master Awa Kenzo, who taught him to focus on the process rather than obsessing over hitting the target. Kenzo's mastery — demonstrated by hitting a double bullseye blindfolded — illustrates that true success comes from perfecting effort, not chasing outcomes.  Swamiji connects this lesson to Krishna's counsel to Arjun in Chapter 2, Verse 47: “You have a right to perform your prescribed duties, but you are not entitled to the fruits of your actions.” He explains that results depend on many factors — destiny, the will of God, the efforts of others, circumstances, and luck. By tying happiness to outcomes, we invite stress and disappointment. Instead, Krishna urges seekers to focus solely on sincere effort, which paradoxically improves results while freeing us from anxiety.  Swamiji also warns against “destination addiction,” the belief that happiness lies in the next achievement or milestone. He emphasizes that fulfillment is woven into each step of the journey, not waiting at the finish line. When we embrace nishkam karma — selfless action without attachment to results — we discover joy, mastery, and peace in the present moment.  This teaching matters because it transforms how we view success. By detaching from outcomes and dedicating our efforts to Krishna, we live with resilience, clarity, and spiritual purpose, experiencing true fulfillment beyond worldly recognition.  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. He is the founder of the unique yogic system called JKYog. Swamiji holds distinguished degrees in Engineering and Management from two of India's most prestigious institutions—IIT and IIM. Having taken the renounced order of life (sanyas), he is the senior disciple of Jagadguru Shree Kripaluji Maharaj, and has been sharing Vedic wisdom across the globe for decades. 

  In this episode, Swamiji recounts his trek to Yamunotri, where he encountered ascetics living in caves under extreme conditions. Despite freezing winters and meager resources, these yogis displayed astonishing discipline and the ability to deny bodily pleasures for the sake of spiritual purification. Their resilience illustrates the power of willpower when directed toward higher goals.  Swamiji connects this experience to Krishna's declaration in the Bhagavad Gita (7.9): “I am the fragrance of the earth, the brilliance in fire, the life force in all beings, and the penance of the ascetics.” He explains that the strength to endure austerities and resist temptations flows directly from the Lord. Even modern science acknowledges the role of the prefrontal cortex in overriding impulses, yet Krishna is the ultimate source behind this faculty.  Through vivid analogies — the aroma of the earth after rains, the brilliance of fire that illuminates, and the yogis' ability to embrace austerity — Swamiji shows how everyday experiences point to God's presence. He concludes that recognizing Krishna as the source of willpower empowers seekers to cultivate discipline, overcome desires, and live with spiritual focus.  This teaching matters because it transforms how we view self‑control: not as a burden, but as divine strength flowing through us. By surrendering to Krishna, seekers can harness superhuman willpower to progress steadily 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.

  In this episode, Swamiji reveals how Lord Krishna redefines success, moving beyond the conventional measures of wealth, status, or recognition. He explains that true success lies in aligning our life with dharma, cultivating devotion, and living in harmony with the Divine. Success, according to Krishna, is not external achievement but inner fulfillment and liberation.  Swamiji narrates how worldly accomplishments often leave seekers restless and unsatisfied, while spiritual growth brings lasting peace and joy. He highlights Krishna's assurance that those who dedicate themselves to selfless service and bhakti attain the highest success — freedom from material bondage and union with the Lord.  Listeners are encouraged to reflect on their own pursuits and reorient them toward Krishna's vision of success. This teaching matters because it transforms ambition into aspiration, guiding seekers to live purposefully, with devotion and clarity, and ultimately to experience 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.

In this episode, Swamiji narrates the moving story of Annie Besant, the renowned social reformer and president of the Theosophical Society, to illustrate the timeless law of karma. Despite her public achievements, Annie endured deep personal suffering when her infant son was afflicted with violent convulsions. Unable to reconcile this pain with the idea of a compassionate God, she turned agnostic.  Her perspective transformed when she encountered the philosophy of karma and reincarnation. She realized that life is not confined to a single birth but is a chain of many lives, where present suffering may be the result of past deeds. Swamiji explains this through vivid analogies — like grain silos where old stored grain comes out first, even if fresh grain has been added later — showing how karmic reactions may manifest long after the actions that caused them.  Swamiji connects Annie Besant's awakening to Krishna's teachings in the Bhagavad Gita. The Lord reveals that He reciprocates with souls according to their surrender: for those who deny Him, He manifests as the law of karma; for those who seek refuge in Him, He lovingly protects them. This episode emphasizes that karma is not punishment but a tool for spiritual growth, urging seekers to act wisely and embrace devotion to transcend the cycle of rebirth.  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 explains the profound concept of the soul's journey through different bodies, as taught by Lord Krishna in the Bhagavad Gita. He clarifies that the soul is eternal, untouched by birth or death, and merely transmigrates from one physical form to another, just as a person changes worn-out garments for new ones.  Swamiji highlights how understanding transmigration helps seekers overcome fear of death and attachment to the temporary body. He shares how Krishna's wisdom liberates us from identifying with material existence and inspires us to focus on the eternal self. By cultivating devotion and aligning with divine consciousness, one can transcend the cycle of rebirth and attain liberation.  This teaching matters because it transforms our perspective on life and mortality. Recognizing the soul's eternal nature empowers seekers to live with courage, detachment, and spiritual purpose, making every moment an opportunity for growth and bhakti.  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 explains how life's unexpected setbacks can become stepping stones to spiritual growth when viewed through the lens of Krishna's teachings. He emphasizes that obstacles are not punishments but opportunities to cultivate patience, surrender, and inner strength.  Swamiji shares practical insights on how to transform disappointments into determination, reminding seekers that Krishna's guidance in the Bhagavad Gita teaches us to remain equipoised in success and failure. By anchoring the mind in devotion and meditation, setbacks lose their sting and instead become catalysts for liberation.  Listeners are encouraged to see challenges as divine arrangements meant to refine their character and deepen their bhakti. This shift in perspective empowers seekers to walk the spiritual path with courage, resilience, and unwavering faith in Krishna's plan.  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 opening episode, Swamiji explores how genuine forgiveness dissolves inner poison and restores faith, drawing from Sri Krishna's teachings for practical, everyday transformation. The theme centers on choosing healing over hatred and embracing devotion as a pathway to inner freedom.   Through the powerful story of Immaculée Ilibagiza—a survivor of the Rwanda genocide—Swamiji narrates her 91-day ordeal in hiding, her battle with rage, and her turning to prayer to seek the strength to forgive. When she finally faced the man who killed her family, she saw not a monster but a blind soul, and forgave him “in the name of God,” embodying compassion over vengeance.   Swamiji connects this to Bhagavad Gita 11.55, explaining that exclusive devotees are without malice and see the Lord present in all beings; thus they forgive even those who harmed them. He shows how forgiveness is not the end of justice but the beginning of freedom—a bridge from hurt to healing that releases us from resentment and aligns our hearts with Krishna, cultivating peace, bhakti, and spiritual growth in daily life.   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 reveals how the Bhagavad Gita empowers seekers to cultivate an unbreakable mind that remains steady amidst life's challenges. Drawing from Krishna's timeless wisdom, he explains how resilience is not about suppressing emotions but about aligning our thoughts with higher truths.  Swamiji emphasizes the importance of spiritual discipline, meditation, and devotion as tools to strengthen the mind. He illustrates how seekers can rise above fear, anxiety, and external pressures by anchoring themselves in Krishna's guidance. The episode highlights practical steps to transform adversity into growth, showing that true strength lies in surrendering to the Divine and living with unwavering faith.  For spiritual aspirants, this teaching is a reminder that liberation begins with mastering the mind. By embracing Krishna's path, one can experience inner peace, clarity, and the courage to face life with grace.  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, we unpack Proverbs 22:6 in a deeply practical and spiritually rich conversation. We outline a 5-part framework—demonstrate, instruct, apply, practice, and communicate—that equips Christian parents to train their children according to God's Word.From Scripture-based parenting moments at the dinner table to practicing respectful behavior in public, this episode offers biblical guidance and real-world examples to help you nurture your child's heart, habits, and faith.1 - Demonstration2 - Instruction3 - Application4 - Practice5 - Communication*Bonus - PRAYER*Episode Highlights:[00:00:00] – Introduction: Proverbs 22:6 and the foundation of biblical parenting[00:01:00] – Step 1: Demonstration—Why living out your faith is the starting point[00:03:00] – Step 2: Instruction—Teaching children scripture and leading them to wisdom[00:13:00] – Step 3: Application—Bringing scripture into specific behaviors and choices[00:18:00] – Step 4: Practice—Why repetition, joy, and connection deepen learning[00:24:00] – Step 5: Communication—Clear expectations and behavior modeling[00:28:00] – Prayer: The heart of it all—trusting God to change hearts, not just habits3 Takeaways:Biblical parenting begins with demonstrating authentic faith - Children are watching our daily lives more than they are listening to our words.

What do you imagine when you hear the word ‘pilgrimage'? Do you see in your mind's eye the laces of an old pair of boots? A walking stick? A winding trail through an unknown forest? The company of friends and strangers? Perhaps a particular place comes to mind; you may immediately think of the pilgrim routes through Spain. The Camino de Santiago, perhaps: that famous pilgrimage to the resting place of the St. James, beginning in France and ending in the northwest of Spain. Maybe your mind goes to the Camino Ignaciano—the pilgrim route that traces the key steps that St. Ignatius took from his home in Loyola to Manresa, that infamous cave where Ignatius penned the Spiritual Exercises. And still, there may be more pilgrim places that come to mind; the world is full of them! How often, though, do you think of your daily life as a pilgrimage? How often do you reach for those spiritual lessons so easily glimpsed on roads trod by boot-wearing-hikers? Do you think to practice the kind of simplicity, indifference and awareness that is so necessary on those pilgrim routes in your day-to-day, when you're picking your kids up from school or making your grocery list? In some ways, it's a lot harder. That's why we have two pilgrimage veterans joining the podcast today—and two guests who are also veterans of our show. The Jesuit priest Fr. Brendan McManus has written several books on pilgrimages, both to Santiago de Compostella and Manresa. His latest, Living the Camino Back Home: Ignatian Tips for Keeping the Camino Spirit Alive—written with Sr. Katherin O'Flynn—is an extended meditation on how to bring a pilgrim spirituality into everyday life. Christine Eberle has recently published her third book, Finding God Along the Way: Wisdom from the Ignatian Camino for Life at Home, chronicles her own Spanish pilgrimage, inviting readers to find their own pilgrimage where ever they are. This conversation is a real delight, full of wisdom and laughter and a deep desire to help us all along whatever road we're currently walking.

Professor Paul Dolan on Bringing More Pleasure and Purpose into Everyday Living. This bitesize episode challenges the stories we tell ourselves about happiness—stories that often equate fulfillment with high status, massive social media followings, or endless wealth. But as Professor Paul Dolan reveals, these ideas are often misguided. Real happiness isn't about chasing society's markers of success; it's about tuning into what genuinely brings us joy: spending time with friends, building meaningful connections, practicing kindness, playing sport, or simply enjoying music. It's time to rethink what truly makes us happy and embrace the power of simple, purposeful moments.
