Hard News on Friday with Tara Green and Rama Arjuna 9/11 Anniversary Reflections, NESARA Hopes and a New Earth Invocation with Patricia Cota-Robles On the 25th anniversary of September 11, hosts Tara Green and Rama Arjuna open with a Mayan calendar meditation, revisit 9/11 conspiracy theories and Gaza news through a NESARA lens, channel a message from an entity called Mother, and close with a recorded New Earth invocation from guest Patricia Cota-Robles. Opening Meditation and Mayan Calendar Reading Rainbird opens the broadcast with a guided breathing exercise, inviting listeners into their heart space to gather with guides, guardians, totems and ancestors around a virtual council fire. She drums and calls in the seven galactic directions in the Mayan tradition, chanting "Ah Yum, Hunab Ku, Evam Maya, E Ma Ho" before reading the Mayan day-count for the week. Today is a 3 Cib Yellow Electric Warrior, and she moves through Saturday's Red Self-Existing Earth, Sunday's White Overtone Mirror, Monday's Blue Rhythmic Storm, Tuesday's Yellow Resonant Sun, Wednesday's Red Galactic Dragon, Thursday's White Solar Wind portal day, and Friday's Blue Planetary Night, timed to a first-quarter moon at 4:44 p.m. Eastern. For each glyph she gives a keyword mantra and urges listeners to release fear, judgment, separation, or self-doubt while embracing bonding, healing, intuition, and unconditional love. Several specialized Mayan calendar terms are difficult to hear clearly in the recording. Listener Support and Community Needs Rainbird then shifts into the weekly funding appeal, explaining that the Friday program needs $184 for its time with BBS Radio Station One and directing listeners to bbsradio.com, where the show is indexed as The Hard News. She also promotes the Saturday program on Station Two, The True History Herstory of NESARA, in the 3:30 hour. She lists what Tara and Rama need that week for living expenses, roughly $200, plus bills including an internet payment, a $50 Vonage bill, and $93 for car insurance, totaling close to $530. She gives the PayPal address for donations, koran9999@hotmail.com, and a mailing address for Ram D. Berkowitz at a post office box in Santa Cruz, New Mexico, along with the website rainbowroundtable.net and a GoFundMe for health supplements. Calling the twenty-fifth anniversary of September 11 a time for the truth to surface, she thanks listeners thirteen times before ceremonially passing a talking stick to Tara and Rama. Passing the Talking Stick: 9/11 and a New Timeline Rama and Tara take up the talking stick on the twenty-fifth anniversary of September 11, framing the night as evidence that an old timeline is unraveling. Tara predicts that Bush, Cheney and their circle will eventually be held accountable, and Rama argues the World Trade Center towers were demolished for insurance money, insisting Osama bin Laden, Iraq, Jordan, Syria, Lebanon and Gaza had nothing to do with the attacks. He describes speaking that day with a contact he calls the poppy lady and with a Gaza City acquaintance he names, in varying spellings, Lani, recounting her work for Al Jazeera and the loss of her family since Israel's invasion and occupation of the area. Both hosts describe the current moment as a new timeline arriving alongside a coming energetic "flash," urging listeners to send love rather than fear toward the people and events in the news, including the unfolding war and its casualties in Gaza and Lebanon. Weekly Reports From Sun Mountain and the Crew Rama then reads a string of dated field reports he has been keeping since September 4, describing daily visits to Sun Mountain, Moon Mountain, the I Am Sanctuary and Overlook Mountain, where he sits and walks in circles with deer, crows, hawks and bobcats to the Adi Shakti or Gayatri mantra. He recounts text messages he says arrive from figures he calls the King of Swords, Mr. X, Tom and "the crew," describing singing stones at Göbekli Tepe and in Scotland, Uranus turning retrograde, and possible tectonic movement near the San Andreas fault. Reports from the poppy lady and a contact named Rosa from Palestine describe casualties in Gaza and Lebanon and note Britain, France and Germany rebuking Israel over war crimes and Netanyahu closing the British consulate in East Jerusalem in response. Rainbird then returns to discuss claims that a particle-beam weapon toppled the towers, citing the website Veterans Today and Dr. Judy Wood's book Where Did the Towers Go?, before Rama reads a satirical 9/11 haiku from commentator Sam Sacks. The Mother Dialogue on NESARA and World Events Rama invokes Saint-Germain and the violet flame to call in a presence addressed as Mother, voiced through Tara, and asks what it will take to see NESARA announced. Mother describes the New Moon in Virgo, Mercury's motion, Uranus turning retrograde and Pluto surfacing old "underworld" issues as markers of a planetary shift, tying them to Rosh Hashanah, Yom Kippur, and Earth's position relative to the star Vega. She calls conflicts over skin color a distraction from a shared "circle of life," and describes a Zionist agenda and Netanyahu, along with several unnamed Republicans, as clinging to power through force rather than legitimacy. She predicts sacred sites worldwide, including Göbekli Tepe, are "singing" as part of the shift, and calls for the Black Madonna and Mother Africa's wisdom to rise. Rama raises Abby Martin's coming film The Greatest Enemy, about the U.S. military, and the pair frame recent conflict as rooted in the misuse of Kundalini energy and violence against the feminine. Patricia Cota-Robles's New Earth Invocation and Closing Thanks Tara and Rama introduce a twenty-one-minute recorded message from Patricia Cota-Robles titled Accelerating the Manifestation of the New Earth. Cota-Robles describes the Company of Heaven celebrating activities of light performed during the recent Lion's Gate and eclipse series, and leads listeners through a first-person invocation asking her Father-Mother God to download "patterns of perfection" for peace, abundance, health, family life, creativity, and joy into Mother Earth's crystal grid. Afterward, Rainbird returns to close the show, apologizing for an echoing headset, thanking Mother, Cota-Robles, and the audience, and previewing Saturday's schedule before signing off with Rama and Tara. BBS Radio's Don then compliments the program as "insightful," and the hosts thank him for carrying the show. Don describes the newly launched BBS Radio TV site and a coming content-creator studio, saying the network's website is being completely rebuilt on a test server before going live, prompting Tara to call the changes part of a new "Age of Aquarius" for the station.
Hard News on Friday with Tara Green and Rama Arjuna and guests Solar Energies, Spiritual Transition, World Conflict and the Call for Peace Summary Opening Meditation and the Week's Calendar Energies Rainbird opens with guided breathing, a heart-space meditation, a ceremonial calling of directions, and a Mayan-style calendar reading for the current day and the week ahead. The reading emphasizes purification, universal water, unconditional love, play, healing, enlightenment, service, and right action. Labor Day is associated with the Human/healer energy, while the approaching 25th anniversary of September 11 is framed as a time of remembrance. Rainbird repeatedly encourages listeners to release fear, anger, control, hesitation, and attachment while cultivating spiritual awareness. Several ceremonial and calendar terms are difficult to hear clearly and remain flagged for verification. The opening closes with listener-support information and a handoff to Tara and Rama. Solar Activity, World Conflict and Staying Centered Rama describes the current period as unusually intense and connects solar flares, electromagnetic activity, earthquakes, major Pacific storms, and geopolitical tension with a larger energetic transition. He recounts meditating and walking in circles with deer, crows, and foxes while using the Adi Shakti mantra, saying he received guidance to lay low, stay centered, and work with the living land and an emerald-green ray. The conversation then turns to Russia and Ukraine, Israel and Palestinians, and the U.S. political situation, all interpreted through the speakers' spiritual framework. Rama distinguishes Zionism from Judaism and argues that all people are God's chosen people. He also describes glowing orbs and beings of light that he says communicate by pulsing in rhythm with their words. Throughout the segment, the recurring practical message is to send love, remain neutral, and respond with compassion rather than fear. Nature Mysticism, Zozobra, Orbs and Cultural Metaphors Rama describes Santa Fe's Zozobra tradition as a symbolic release of worries and sorrows through the burning of Old Man Gloom. He also recounts seeing sparkling particles and golden spheres in the quantum field, describing them as living light or pure love and saying animals interact with them. FernGully, Avatar, Star Trek: The Next Generation, and The Matrix are used as metaphors for enchanted nature, telepathic connection, galactic civilizations, and the risks of technological domination. Rama discusses the Na'vi, Eywa, Pandora, Alpha and Beta Centauri, and a society he imagines without war, hunger, or disease. He contrasts that vision with concern about artificial intelligence and the Borg idea, while citing Gregg Braden, Nassim Haramein, Bruce Lipton, and Mr. Keshe in related discussion. The segment remains rooted in the speakers' personal spiritual experiences and beliefs rather than independent scientific verification. Kryon on Closure, Dreams, Change and Trying Again A prerecorded Kryon segment presents 2026 as a year of unusual change centered on closure and resolution. Long-running international conflict is used as an example of unresolved issues coming to a head, and the same pattern is applied to family, workplace, and personal relationships. Unpleasant dreams are described as possible expressions of unresolved material surfacing for release. Listeners are encouraged to leave familiar routines, say yes to experiences they would normally decline, and create opportunities for unexpected synchronicities and new relationships. The recording also recommends revisiting ideas or projects that failed in the past because the surrounding conditions may now be different. Its central message is that the current period may feel difficult but can also open paths that were previously unavailable. The Mother Dialogue, NESARA and a Metaphysical View of Society After the Kryon recording, Tara leads an invocation and a dialogue with a voice addressed as Mother. The discussion presents divine love, Kundalini, bodily balance, the elements, meditation, movement practices, and care of the body as central to spiritual transformation. Political grievances involving Donald Trump, Congress, the Justice Department, war, climate disruption, and social division are folded into a metaphysical narrative involving an anticipated NESARA announcement. The speakers make extraordinary claims about death, aging, breatharianism, galactic beings, planetary ascension, higher-dimensional life, and a universe populated by spiritual hierarchies. At the same time, the segment strongly emphasizes opposition to racism and discrimination and describes humanity as one planetary family or rainbow nation. It closes with reflections on sacred sound, vowel tones, Stonehenge, the Schumann resonance, and honoring Mother Earth and other forms of life. Weekly Progress Reports and the Repeated Call for Peace Rama finishes with dated reports from August 28 through September 3 describing visits to Sun Mountain, the area near Abiquiu, the I AM Sanctuary, Runa Mu's office, and Overlook Mountain. In these reports he sits with deer, crows, hawks, a bobcat, cows, and a coyote, walks in circles, and uses the Adi Shakti or Gayatri mantras. He recounts messages he says he receives from the Crew, Darby O'Dell, the King of Swords, Lady Nada, and others, involving spacecraft, standing stones, plasma, planetary magnetics, Gaza, Scotland, the United Nations, and a coming message of peace. Nikola Tesla and alternative-energy ideas are invoked as part of a belief that humanity could meet its needs without conventional fossil-fuel systems. The reports repeatedly call for the Violet Flame, the emerald-green ray, an end to war, and a shift from material wealth toward love as a higher value. The episode closes with another donation appeal, a preview of the next program, a handoff to Rainbird, and mutual thanks and Namaste.

As children return to school, getting back into a healthy routine can be challenging for families, especially when it comes to screen time. On this episode of Roshni, host Gurpreet Kaur speaks with psychologist Gayatri Kainth about setting realistic boundaries around phones, tablets, video games, YouTube and social media. They discuss how parents can balance screen time needed for schoolwork with entertainment, recognize signs of excessive screen use, and understand its impact on children's sleep, attention, mood and behaviour. Gayatri also shares practical strategies for reducing screen time without constant arguments and offers advice on creating healthy screen-time rules for the school year.
Hard News on Friday with Tara Green and Rama Arjuna and guests Human Values at the Crossroads: Eclipse Energies, Technology, and Christ Consciousness Summary Eclipse Energies and the Mayan Calendar The episode opens with music and Rainbird's guided breathing, heart-centered meditation, and ceremonial invocation of seven galactic directions. Rainbird then describes a new 260-day Mayan cycle and interprets a sequence of daily tones, tribes, kin, and numerological patterns. The discussion emphasizes communication, breath, spirit, abundance, healing, forgiveness, change, intuition, and the release of judgment, fear, control, and self-doubt. Several specialized Mayan names and ceremonial phrases are difficult to hear in the automated transcript, so their exact spellings remain uncertain. Rainbird presents the calendar as a spiritual framework for setting intentions and understanding the energetic themes of the coming days. Listener Support and Community Needs Rainbird shifts from the calendar discussion to practical support for the programs and for Tara and Rama. The segment explains the weekly financial commitment to BBS Radio, describes how listeners can find the Friday and Saturday program listings, and encourages donations through the network. Rainbird also describes weekly living expenses, rent, other bills, and a GoFundMe for additional needs. Several email spellings and parts of the mailing address conflict within the automated transcript and therefore require verification before use. The segment closes with gratitude and the symbolic passing of a multidimensional “talking stick” to Tara and Rama. Stillness, the Quantum Field, and Spiritual Ascension Tara and/or Rama describe the recent eclipse as an ongoing energetic event whose effects, in their view, extend far beyond the day of the eclipse. They encourage listeners to enter stillness, connect with the quantum field, and use meditation, prayer, and love rather than war or hostility as a response to world events. The hosts recount sitting with animals, using the Gayatri mantra for world peace, and sending love to people they discuss in the news. They also make political and spiritual statements about the occupant of the White House, “White Knights,” and forces of light; these are preserved as the speakers' beliefs and claims rather than presented as established facts. The recurring message is to remain centered, do quiet inner work, and “send more love.” Gregg Braden on Humanity and Technology A prerecorded interview with Gregg Braden focuses on what he calls a new human story and a crossroads between natural biology and rapidly advancing technology. Braden argues that many large human problems already have potential solutions but are blocked by priorities, leadership, economic assumptions, and the stories people hold about themselves. He discusses food distribution, sustainable energy, economic cooperation, healing, brain-computer interfaces, stem cells, genetic engineering, artificial intelligence, and changing patterns of human intimacy. He expresses concern that replacing biological functions with technology could, in his view, cause natural capacities to atrophy and alter what it means to be human. He concludes that individuals and societies should identify core human values—such as life, freedom, creativity, imagination, and community—and use those values as the foundation for laws, policies, purchasing decisions, and technological choices. Cosmic Change, Love, and the Shift of the Ages After a musical and devotional interlude, Tara and/or Rama return to themes of solar activity, eclipse season, the quantum field, meditation, and a transition into a “new heaven and new Earth.” They speak about critical mass, fifth-dimensional consciousness, delta and theta states, REM sleep, and the heart as a point of connection with the quantum field. The hosts describe current chaos as evidence of people struggling with incoming spiritual energies and repeatedly advocate sending love even toward those they view as resistant or harmful. They also discuss the autumn equinox, a “shift of the ages,” galactic justice, and the idea that old stories are coming to an end. These statements are presented in the transcript as spiritual beliefs and interpretations expressed by the speakers. Christ Consciousness and the Divine Feminine The final prerecorded monologue presents an extended spiritual teaching about Christ Consciousness, Mother God, the divine masculine and feminine, the heart chakra, the I AM Presence, and the threefold flame. The speaker describes blue, pink, violet, and yellow-gold spiritual flames and connects them with divine power, love, enlightenment, and different aspects of the brain and chakra system. The teaching attributes humanity's suffering and gender imbalance to a spiritual “fall from grace” caused by separation from Mother God and the closing of the heart chakra, rather than to the biblical story of Eve alone. It then describes humanity as undergoing a collective return to balance, divine love, and Christ Consciousness during the eclipse period. The monologue ends with a lengthy first-person invocation centered on breathing through the heart, balancing divine power and love, opening the crown chakra, reconnecting with the I AM Presence, and affirming oneness with all humanity.

In this episode, Gayatri explains how to think about dementia as a spectrum—including Alzheimer's disease, vascular dementia, Lewy body dementia, and mixed presentations—while exploring the evolving biology of amyloid, tau, and neuroinflammation and why brain pathology does not always correlate with symptoms. She discusses her approach to detecting subtle cognitive decline in high-functioning individuals, the role of biomarkers and APOE4 testing in asymptomatic patients, the benefits and risks of anti-amyloid therapies such as lecanemab and donanemab, and strategies for minimizing treatment-related complications. Gayatri also examines why some patients may stabilize or even improve with individualized care, the overlap among different dementia syndromes, and the relationship between menopause, estrogen, and cognition—including her concept of menopause-related cognitive impairment. Finally, she discusses how advances in early detection, AI-assisted monitoring, targeted therapies, and precision medicine are reshaping the future of dementia care.

Here’s Yi doing something I’d never seen before: echoing and resonating with a Sanskrit mantra. Sana dreamt the Gayatri mantra; when she woke, she asked Yi for a picture of her inner landscape, and cast Hexagram 35, Advancing – – without changing lines. No decisions to be made or problems to be solved in this reading – just a gift to receive.
At San Francisco airport we would go and sit down with people, and mostly we were looking for hippies—people with longer hair—because we thought nobody else would take it. We would sit down next to them like we were just sitting there randomly. And then we would turn to them and go, 'Hey, you want to see something far out?' They would go, 'What do you have?' We would say, 'No, no, this is really far out. Check this out.' And we would show them the pictures in the Kṛṣṇa book. Then, people would get attracted. So there has to be something to be attracted to. Lord Caitanya— gaura-vāṇī-pracāriṇe, Śrīla Prabhupāda came and said, 'Here is Lord Caitanya's teaching.' It's about describing the spiritual world and our relationship with the Supreme Person. Minus that—āruhya kṛcchreṇa paraṁ padaṁ tataḥ—everyone works hard for nothing and falls down from their imagined position of liberation. Conclusion: Lord Caitanya is the best. He preaches the Bhāgavatam perfectly because He is Kṛṣṇa. He has come to show people how to do this, how to become free from weakness of the heart. Anybody can do it. And the chanting part—Kṛṣṇa is the ultimate, because everything is contained within the mantra. It's a very specific path; it's not willy-nilly. He explains it very clearly. Śrīla Prabhupāda, understanding completely how to present it, brought it and gave it even to the Westerners—pāścātya-deśa-tāriṇe. The pāścātya-deśa: he came and gave the same teachings of Lord Caitanya. So now that Prabhupāda has left, He gave us the instruction to carry it on. Whatever or however we feel about ourselves or our abilities, we have to rise to the occasion and give mercy, especially in the Western countries. As I was saying this morning: bhārata-bhūmite haila manuṣya-janma yāra. janma sārthaka kari' kara para-upakāra. We have to do para-upakāra—the greatest benefit to human society—by distributing the message of Lord Caitanya, especially if you have any roots in Bhārata, it's our duty. This is really nice thing—anywhere you live, if you can come out. We didn't get a very good view of it today because there's cloud cover and all these buildings, but it's nice to come out and watch the sunrise every morning. It's a glorious thing. It's nice to chant a few mantras, like the Gayatri mantra, and there are others. Bharat Maharaj, when he went off to the forest, he was worshiping the Lord within the sun. dhyeyaḥ sadā savitṛ-maṇḍala-madhya-vartī nārāyaṇaḥ sarasijāsana-sanniviṣṭaḥ keyūravān makara-kuṇḍalavān kirīṭī hārī hiraṇmaya-vapuḥ dhṛta-śaṅkha-cakraḥ (Rg Mantra, quoted in SB 5.7.13,14) ------------------------------------------------------------ To connect with His Grace Vaiśeṣika Dāsa, please visit https://www.fanthespark.com/next-steps/ask-vaisesika-dasa/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=video&utm_campaign=launch2025 https://vaisesikadasayatra.blogspot.com/ ------------------------------------------------------------ Add to your wisdom literature collection: https://iskconsv.com/book-store/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=video&utm_campaign=launch2025 https://www.bbtacademic.com/books/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=video&utm_campaign=launch2025 https://thefourquestionsbook.com/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=video&utm_campaign=launch2025 ------------------------------------------------------------ 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 #vaise
In this episode of Shadow to Self, Acharya Shunya shares the Gayatri Mantra not as theory, but as living memory. From early dawn walks along the Sarayu River in Ayodhya to the disciplined transmission of her grandfather, she reveals how Gayatri became the inner architecture of her life. You will learn: • Why Gayatri is called the mother of the Vedas • The meaning of its three lines and three vyahritis • The significance of its nine words and twenty-four sounds • How sound shapes consciousness • Why this mantra is an invocation of clarity, not superstition • How Gayatri moves us from shadow to Self More than a chant, Gayatri is structured illumination. It refines the mind, strengthens discernment, and anchors us in inner radiance. Whether you are new to mantra or returning to it with deeper intent, this episode invites you to rediscover the inner sun that never sets.
Two words that make most engineers shudder: code refactoring. Now raise the stakes — refactoring decades of legacy systems inside a large enterprise. A tech debt-heavy project of this scale needs a leader who has driven complex digital transformations, like Gayatri Narayan (formerly PepsiCo, Microsoft, Amazon). Now, as President of Technology at Builders FirstSource, Gayatri Narayan is achieving a 3–4x increase in engineering velocity since joining less than a year ago. Gayatri joins host Yousuf Khan to unpack the strategy behind those results, including how to deploy AI across the SDLC, how to rigorously evaluate ROI on AI investments, and how to lead change across complex enterprise tech stacks.Key Moments: 01:30 – Why Construction Technology Is Ready for Transformation 04:05 – AI Strategy: Elevating UX and Customer Experience 08:20 – Evaluating AI Investments: ROI, NPV, and Operating Costs 12:45 – Achieving 3–4x Engineering Velocity 16:05 – Humans in the Loop: Craft, Code Review, and AI Amplification 18:35 – Where the Industry Gets AI Adoption Wrong 20:30 – Leadership Advice: Start with the Customer About Gayatri: Gayatri Narayan is a general management executive with more than 15 years of experience leading product, engineering, data science, and operations across global enterprises, with full P&L responsibility and a track record of driving profitable growth through digital transformation. She currently serves as President of Technology at Builders FirstSource, where she leads enterprise technology strategy, modernizes legacy systems, and embeds AI into the software development lifecycle to accelerate innovation across the residential construction value chain. Previously, she served as Senior Vice President of Digital Products and Services at PepsiCo and held multiple general management roles at Microsoft, including leading Product and Engineering for Intelligent Communications across Teams and Skype as well as Enterprise PaaS and SaaS businesses; she also held leadership roles at Amazon spanning Marketplace Transportation and Logistics and several major retail categories. Guest Highlights: “We've seen a three to four times increase in engineering velocity — especially in refactoring legacy systems where historically there was very little knowledge of how the system actually worked.” “With generative AI, companies that have existed for 20 or 30 years don't have to get bogged down by legacy stacks. They can embrace emerging technologies without spending 18 to 24 months just refactoring.” “It really comes down to efficiency of time. The developer's surface area of impact expands dramatically — it's not just about writing code anymore, it's about delivering business value faster.” Visit ciopod.com for more episodes.

La Princesse insoumise : Gayatri Devi est la plus flamboyante et la plus moderne des princesses indiennes, selon notre invité, l'écrivain et biographe Jean-Noël Liaut. Elle a été la première maharani élue au parlement indien, en 1962, avec une majorité écrasante. Elle était admirée pour son intégrité, son sens de la justice et sa philanthropie. Jean-Noël Liaut lui a consacré une biographie, après avoir enquêté pendant des années auprès de ses proches. Il nous parle de cette femme admirable au micro d'Axelle Thiry qu'il décrit comme « une féministe avant l'heure, une femme libre ayant cassé les codes de sa caste et tracé la voie pour nombre d'Indiennes, une femme visionnaire. Son destin raconte l'évolution de la condition féminine, du droit des minorités et des questions écologiques, nous fait partager le quotidien fastueux des maharajas et assister à la perte de leurs privilèges, à la fin de la domination britannique, au triomphe de l'indépendance, à la cruauté de la partition et à l'avènement de l'Inde moderne. » (Jean-Noël Liaut, La Princesse insoumise, éd. Allary, 2023).

Together, they unpack how mantra creates a transformation within you, how Gayatri cultivates clarity in moments of crisis, and how Mrityunjaya helps us develop a healthy relationship with death, not as escape, but as freedom from fear.Episode Highlights:What is a mantra, really?Why does phonetic precision matter?How is mantra different from kirtan?What is the real purpose of the Gayatri Mantra?Does Mrityunjaya Mantra actually protect from death?Timestamps:00:00 - 06:00: Introduction06:00 - 16:30: What is Mantra Chanting?

Moving countries is not just a logistical change — it's a deep emotional and psychological transition for children. In this episode, we have an honest, practical conversation about how kids experience international relocation and what parents can do to make the transition easier when moving abroad or back to India. Our guest, Gayatri, is a parent coach and educator who has personally relocated from the US to India and back again, navigating this transition with her own children at different ages — from early childhood to high school and college. She brings both real-life experience and professional insight into what truly helps children adapt.
”It is customary, after being initiated in the Gayatri mantra, for one to live away from home for some time under the care of the acharya in order to be trained in spiritual life. During this period one has to work under the spiritual master as an ordinary menial servant. There are many rules and regulations for a brahmachari living under the care of an acharya, and both Lord Krishna and Balarama strictly followed those regulative principles while living under the instruction of their spiritual master, Sandipani Muni, in his place in northern India. According to scriptural injunctions, a spiritual master should be respected and be regarded on an equal level with the Supreme Personality of Godhead.” (Krishna, The Supreme Personality of Godhead, Volume 1, Chapter 44)

This year, the non-profit Educate Girls became the first Indian organization ever to receive the Ramon Magsaysay Award—often called Asia's Nobel Prize. The foundation recognized the group for its groundbreaking work enrolling out-of-school girls, improving learning outcomes, and shifting social norms in some of India's most underserved communities. It's a remarkable milestone for an NGO that began in rural Rajasthan and now reaches millions of households across the country.To discuss the challenges—and the opportunities—surrounding girls' education in India, Milan is joined on the show this week by Gayatri Nair Lobo, the CEO of Educate Girls. Gayatri has more than 25 years of experience across the consulting and development sectors. Before joining Educate Girls, she led the ATE Chandra Foundation and the India School Leadership Institute. She has also held senior roles at Dalberg Advisors and Teach For India.Milan and Gayatri discuss the origins of Educate Girls, the supply and demand-side barriers to girls' education, and the launch of the world's first Development Impact Bond. Plus, the two talk about the use of tools like randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and machine learning in delivering education and how to forge lasting partnerships with state governments.Episode notes:1. “A Blueprint for India's State Capacity Revolution (with Karthik Muralidharan),” Grand Tamasha, May 23, 2024.2. “Understanding the Delhi Education Experiment (with Yamini Aiyar),” Grand Tamasha, January 22, 2025.3. “How India's Women Are Redefining Politics (with Ruhi Tewari),” Grand Tamasha, November 5, 2025.4. “Rohini Nilekani on the Secret to Successful Governance,” Grand Tamasha, October 5, 2022.

Everybody needs encouragement. The world is a discouraging place; true or false? (audience : True) That's very discouraging. There's a way in which you can be our first recruiter. It actually is very encouraging. But until one develops a sense for the support that we're getting from Kṛṣṇa at every minute, it feels as if I'm under assault. I mean, after all, I'm born into a world, and then I'm told soon afterwards that you're going to have to exit soon, and we're not sure if it's going to be a bumpy ride or not. We can't guarantee anything. And meanwhile, there's a lot to do to catch up, because coming out of the womb one has extreme jet lag. That's why babies sleep so much. They travel from one universe to another, probably 'brahmāṇḍa bhramite kona bhāgyavān jīva'.They come out like, "I don't know where I am, but I'm going to sleep it off. Maybe wake up when I got some teeth." It's hard. It's a hard world. Kṛṣṇa says in the Bhagvad-gītā from top to bottom, and people need encouragement, and this is the whole purpose of Kṛṣṇa speaking to Brahma. In fact, we have it in the Gayatri mantra. The word for pracodayāt comes from the root word Chud, which means to inspire, and pra is an intensifier. It means really inspire people. The word encourage comes from a French word cor, which means the heart. And if you've ever heard the term disheartened, your heart's not into it. In fact, the word shraddha, shrad means the heart, and dha is an active verb. It means where you place something. And when the heart is affected, then our lives are affected. It's hard for us to move, it's hard for us to walk up the stairs, hard to pick up a bead bag. So when we have a culture of encouragement, when we see a spark, we can fan it. It's known as "Fan The Spark."
