Good morning. The appearance of a special planetary parade at the weekend was eclipsed by the coverage of the intense military operations in the Middle East that began on Saturday. But, it reminded me of an extraordinary astronomical alignment recorded by sages in India some millennia ago; seen then as an ominous portent of social and spiritual trends they believed would unfold in the times to come. Some of these seem prescient, or at least indicative, of persistent human psychology. They included warnings that wealth, not character, will confer status. To be poor will be seen as unholy. The law will be defined by power. Trade will thrive on deceit. Hypocrisy will become a virtue and audacity accepted as truthfulness. The sages foresaw that ordinary citizens would have to bear the resulting injustice and hardship. In response the most valued Vedic texts were compiled to re-balance such corrupting tendencies. For instance, the Bhagavad-gita describes that when we fear our interests or security might be frustrated or taken away, we behave irrationally, often lashing out in anger for revenge or retribution. The Gita cautions that this is a daily challenge for each of us. It says we must apply measured discriminative intelligence rather than act on our emotions, fears and biasCarl Jung made a similar point: “Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life and you will call it fate.” The world is watching closely as events develop in the Middle East. Despite being shrewdly orchestrated by intense military analysis and coordination, will the result, as Jung said, seem like fate? A result that can neither be predicted, nor planned. The Gita asks us all to rise above emotional reactivity; and to act in wisdom, free from the belief that unless things go completely our way, there can be no acceptable result or compromise. Today, there is a special observance in my Vaishnava tradition; the commemoration of the birth in 1486 of Sri Caitanya, a powerful social and spiritual reformer. In one of his most cited statements, he rejects being associated with any divisive identity of caste, communal or religious affiliation. Rather, he says, I wish to be known simply as the servant of the servant of that God who serves all those who are innocent, oppressed and who have no other shelter to deliver them from fear and want in this world. I pray that it will be measured conscious wisdom, and not unconscious fate, that delivers a welcome outcome to the current conflict.

Introspective Discussion Questions from Bhagavad Gita 3.1 to 3.15For group contemplation, discussion, and peer teachingShri Krishna tells Arjuna that no one can remain without action even for a moment, because the guṇas of prakṛti compel action whether we choose it or not. If action is truly inevitable, then the spiritual life is not about choosing between action and inaction but about the quality of engagement we bring to what we are already doing. Think about the most ordinary, repetitive part of your day, something you do almost on autopilot. What would it look like to bring complete presence and intentionality to that one activity for an entire week? And what do you think would begin to shift, not just in the activity itself, but in you?Arjuna asks Shri Krishna a question that many of us carry but rarely voice. If inner clarity and understanding are what truly matter, then why should I engage in difficult, uncomfortable, even painful action? We have all had moments where we knew something needed to be done, a difficult conversation, a challenging responsibility, a stand that needed to be taken, but we talked ourselves out of it using reasoning that sounded wise at the time. Without needing to share the specific situation, can you describe the kind of reasoning the mind produces in those moments? What does the voice of avoidance sound like when it disguises itself as wisdom? And how might we, as practitioners, develop a reliable inner test to tell the difference between genuine discernment and sophisticated avoidance?In verses 3.10 through 3.15, Shri Krishna describes a cycle of mutual nourishment that sustains all of life. Beings are sustained by food, food arises from rain, rain arises from yajña, and yajña arises from action rooted in the Imperishable. This is not just ancient cosmology. It is a description of how every living system works, whether an ecosystem, a family, a workplace, or a community. Everything that sustains us arrived through a chain of contribution that stretches far beyond what we can see. Take a few minutes to trace backward from something simple that you received today, your morning meal, a piece of clothing, the fact that clean water came from your tap, and follow the chain of hands and forces and systems that made it possible. What does it do to your inner state when you hold that awareness? And if you held it not just in this moment but throughout an ordinary day, how might it change the way you move through your interactions and responsibilities?Shri Krishna draws a clear line in verse 3.9. Action performed in the spirit of yajña, as an offering to something larger than personal gain, does not bind. Action performed for any other purpose creates bondage. This means the same action can liberate or bind depending entirely on the inner spirit behind it. Think about your primary daily activity, whether that is your work, your studies, your care of a household, or anything else that takes up the largest portion of your waking hours. Without changing the activity itself, what would it feel like to approach it tomorrow as an offering rather than an obligation? What is the smallest, most concrete shift in inner posture you could experiment with this week, and what do you think might change if you actually did it?krsnadaasa (Servant of Krishna)pragmaticgita.com

Gita Questions and Confusions | Nottingham, UK | Svayam Bhagavan Keshava Maharaja by Wisdom That Breathes by Keshava Maharaja

Shri Krishna reveals the sign of one who has practiced the path to Self-knowledge: humility and the vision of equality. By seeing beyond names and forms and focusing on the essence—the Creator in all—we treat everyone equally and live anchored in the Truth.

Gita Brown came to flying the hard way: through crippling fear, a discovery flight, and one moment where she grabbed the controls and something just flipped. Now she's a student pilot marching toward her checkride, a yoga instructor, a music therapist, and the co-host of the Calm Cockpit Podcast. She also teaches fear-of-flying courses in partnership with Virgin Atlantic, which means she has professionally helped hundreds of people do the thing she herself was terrified to do two years ago. She joined us from a snowbound cabin in Maine, mid-blizzard, fully caffeinated, and ready to explain why your brain is failing you in the cockpit and what you can actually do about it. Spoiler: it starts with electrolytes, ends with meditation, and somewhere in the middle involves not eating grapes.Mentioned on the show:* Calm Cockpit Podcast: https://calmcockpit.com/* MGM - Montgomery Alabama: https://www.airnav.com/airport/MGM* SISKIND - Time building vs Time HAVING: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TFw9CpSqwHA* Lovefly - fear of flying courses: https://www.lovefly.co.uk/* Seth Lake - VSL Aero: https://vsl.aero/* Seth Lake's youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCAQS8w0x9swAMJRMhLY_P5g* Fly Oz - gateway to the Ozarks: https://www.flyoz.com/* LMNT electrolyte drink mix: https://drinklmnt.com/* Insight Timer app: https://insighttimer.com/* Baraka (film): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baraka_(film)* Koyaanisqatsi (full fiml): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cOA_dOrm_Mk* SISKIND - DO EASY: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oqsg-iW3KBw* Qigong: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qigong* Koyaanisqatsi, Hopi word for "life out of balance": https://bureauoflinguisticalreality.com/portfolio/koyaanisqatsi/* The Deep Magic of Daily Consistency: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0G6FJQSGW* Scott Manley - Explaining Why NASA's Starliner Report Is So Bad: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L96asfTvJ_AMidlife Pilot PodcastWebsite: midlifepilotpodcast.comYouTube: youtube.com/@midlifepilotpodcastPatreon: patreon.com/midlifepilotpodcast

The Gita Series - A triune pilgrimage - 221 - Ch 18 - Sloka 3 & 6Krishna explains why Karma can never be given up altogether

Have you ever noticed how the mind becomes tense the moment it feels like life is only taking from you, deadlines, bills, expectations, and very little support. Krishna's teaching in Bhagavad Gita 3.12 to 3.15 flips that experience by revealing a quiet law of life. The world supports the one who participates in the world, and the one who only consumes slowly feels cut off from that support.In these verses, Krishna speaks of devas as the sustaining forces of existence, the rain cycle, the nourishment cycle, the intelligence inside the body that digests, heals, and renews. When we live with yajña, the spirit of offering, those forces are nourished, and they in turn nourish us. When we receive without offering anything back, Krishna calls it stena, theft. Not as an insult, as a diagnosis of the inner posture that produces entitlement and fear.In This Episode, You'll Discover:Why Krishna links food, rain, and action into one “cosmic economy”What yajña really means beyond ritual fire offeringsHow prasāda and yajña-śiṣṭa purify the act of receivingThe psychology of stena, how taking without gratitude strengthens ego and scarcityA simple daily practice that turns work, meals, and relationships into offeringsTo make this real, we explore a story of an old businessman who finally realizes the value of oxygen only when he receives a hospital bill. The shock is not about money. It is about forgetting to say thank you for what has been freely given for decades. That story captures the heart of these verses. Gratitude is not a mood. It is participation in reality.We also bring the teaching into modern work and relationships. Hoarding information, keeping score in love, extracting from nature without returning, all of it is the stena habit in updated form. Yajña is the remedy. Share what you know. Offer the first bite in your mind to Bhagavān. Put something back into the systems that support you, time, attention, service, and care. Over time, the inner weather changes. The mind becomes less drought-prone, and life feels less adversarial.Krishna even anchors this cycle in the deepest ground by connecting karma to Brahman and to akṣara, the Imperishable. That means the spirit of offering is not a social nicety. It is a direct expression of the order that holds the universe together, and your daily actions can touch that order when they are performed with reverence and responsibility.If you have been searching for a spirituality that does not require running away from your responsibilities, these verses are a direct doorway. Krishna places freedom inside the exchanges of life by asking you to keep the exchange clean.krsnadaasa (Servant of Krishna).

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.

In this episode of Essential Ingredients, Justine Reichman speaks with Gita, founder of gutBFF, about the importance of gut health and plant diversity in our diets. They discuss Gita's personal journey with health challenges, the role of food in wellness, and the entrepreneurial challenges she faced while launching her product. The conversation also touches on sustainability, consumer trust, and the growing awareness of nutrition, particularly among women. Gita emphasizes the need for more accessible information and the potential of the digital age to influence healthy eating habits.   Takeaways Gut BFF aims to simplify plant diversity in diets. 30 different plants are needed weekly for optimal gut health. Plant diversity includes fruits, vegetables, nuts, and seeds. Small steps can lead to significant health improvements. Food can be a preventative measure against diseases. Women are increasingly aware of nutrition's role in health. The digital age provides access to valuable health information. Entrepreneurship requires grit and adaptability. Building consumer trust is essential for success. Sustainability and waste reduction are important in food production.   Sound bites "Food is the first line of defense."

The Gita Series - A triune pilgrimage - 220 - Ch 18 - Sloka 1 & 2What is the difference between Sanyasa and Tyaga?

Day 2 features a loving-kindness affirmation practice—a single phrase to steady the mind and soften self-criticism. Inspired by the Gita's teaching of friendliness and compassion toward all beings and informed by modern RCT reviews of loving-kindness interventions. ABOUT THIS WEEK'S LOVING-KINDNESS JOURNEY Welcome to Loving-Kindness Meditation: A Daily Heart-Opening Series—a 7-day journey into the ancient practice of cultivating a steady, compassionate heart. This isn't "be positive" meditation, and it isn't personality-based inspiration. It's a classical inner training—rooted in timeless yogic reflections on maitrī (friendliness), compassion, joy, and equanimity—so your mind becomes clearer, your nervous system steadier, and your relationships more spacious. Across this week, you'll build a simple, repeatable heart practice using one focused technique each day: a loving-kindness visualization, a single phrase of kindness, calming breathwork, a heart-opening mudra, a heart-center (4th chakra) nurture practice, a layered "heart stack" you can use anytime, and a gentle weekly review to embody what you've learned. Come as you are—guarded, tender, hopeful, tired, or open. Loving-kindness doesn't require a perfect mood. It only asks for a sincere return. In just a few minutes each day, you'll practice opening the heart with steadiness—so compassion becomes less of an idea and more of a lived inner home. This is day 2 of a 7-day meditation series, "Loving-Kindness Meditation: A Daily Heart-Opening Series"  episodes 3465-3471. THIS WEEK'S CHALLENGE - "META-MICRO MISSION" Each day, send one tiny ripple of kindness: silently offer a loving-kindness phrase to yourself, a neutral person, and a difficult moment (not necessarily a difficult person). Keep it light—3 breaths each— and track your streak with a simple checkmark. THIS WEEK'S MEDITATION JOURNEY  Day 1:  Compassion Visualization Day 2:  Affirmation: "My heart is open and safe." Day 3:  Heart Coherent Breath: Inhale for 5, Exhale for 5, Repeat for 10 rounds. (Option: inhale "soften, exhale "kindness.") Day 4:  Lotus mudra for opening your heart Day 5:  Fourth chakra for love and gratitude Day 6:  Loving-Kindness Flow meditation, combining the week's techniques Day 7:  Weekly review meditation and closure SHARE YOUR MEDITATION JOURNEY WITH YOUR FELLOW MEDITATORS Let's connect and inspire each other!

On this week's episode, Gita and Luke welcome special guest Brendan Caldwell of the newly-launched website jank.cool, which is all about PC gaming. Brendan is quickly learning how owning a website can be both exciting (you're your own boss, no one else can tell you what to do or what to write about) and very scary (how even do websites work?). But if it gives you a place to publish your weird trauma about getting attacked by Australian magpies under the guise of reviewing video games, the rest of it is worth it. Then in video game land - aside from the usual layoffs updates, a horrifically normal thing - Luke gives us his impressions of Romeo Is A Dead Man, Gita's got strong feelings about the romance options in Cyberpunk 2077, Brendan's trolling his friends in co-op auto mechanic sim Car Service Together, and Overwatch is back in all of our lives (much to Luke's ire & dissociation). And in the Mailbag we'll reveal the ratio of dead-body cleanup requests to demo mixtapes we receive on behalf of other businesses also named Aftermath, and recruit other orphaned video game mascot characters to send to the Olympics.Credits- Hosts: Gita Jackson, Luke Plunkett, and special guest Brendan Caldwell- Podcast Production & Ads: Multitude- Subscribe to Aftermath!About The ShowAftermath Hours is the flagship podcast of Aftermath, a worker-owned, subscription-based website covering video games, the internet, and everything that comes after from journalists who previously worked at Kotaku, Vice, and The Washington Post.

L'italiano ama metterci alla prova con parole che sembrano gemelle ma sono cugine lontane. In questo articolo imparerete a distinguere e utilizzare correttamente 14 coppie di parole italiane che creano spesso confusione tra gli stranieri che studiano la nostra lingua.Padroneggiare queste distinzioni vi farà parlare italiano in modo più naturale e preciso, e vi eviterà qualche figuraccia imbarazzante! 30 Parole che Creano Confusione in Italiano 1. VIAGGIO - GITA Cominciamo con viaggio e gita, due parole legate al tema degli spostamenti. Entrambe significano che vi muovete da qualche parte, ma c'è una bella differenza! VIAGGIO si riferisce a uno spostamento generalmente lungo, che può durare diversi giorni o addirittura settimane. È un termine più formale e generico. Pensate a un viaggio come a qualcosa di importante, magari con valigie, prenotazioni d'hotel. GITA, invece, indica un'escursione breve, solitamente di un solo giorno, spesso con scopo ricreativo o educativo. La gita è sempre qualcosa di leggero e piacevole! Differenze Chiave tra Viaggio e Gita Il viaggio è lungo, la gita è breve Il viaggio può essere per lavoro o piacere, la gita è quasi sempre per divertimento Si dice "viaggio d'affari", ma "gita scolastica" Aspetto economico: un viaggio richiede generalmente un budget più alto con hotel, voli, ristoranti, mentre una gita è più economica Pianificazione: il viaggio richiede pianificazione anticipata (prenotazioni, itinerari), la gita può essere anche spontanea, decisa all'ultimo momento Bagagli: per un viaggio servono valigie pesanti e tanti vestiti, per una gita basta uno zaino leggero! Esempi pratici di utilizzo Viaggio: "Quest'estate farò un viaggio in Giappone di tre settimane." "Il viaggio in treno da Roma a Milano dura circa 3 ore." Gita: "Domenica organizziamo una gita al lago con i bambini." "La scuola ha organizzato una gita al museo di arte moderna." 2. TERRA - SUOLO - PAVIMENTO Ecco tre parole che si riferiscono tutte a "quello che calpestiamo", ma con differenze importanti! Preparatevi, perché qui le cose si fanno interessanti. TERRA indica il pianeta Terra, il terreno naturale fatto di rocce, sabbia, erba, o anche il suolo su cui si coltiva. È la parola più generale e versatile. SUOLO è un termine più tecnico e formale che si riferisce alla superficie terrestre o al terreno, soprattutto in contesti scientifici, agricoli o geografici. PAVIMENTO è la superficie artificiale che si trova all'interno degli edifici, fatta di piastrelle, legno, marmo e via dicendo. Come Distinguere Terra, Suolo e Pavimento Terra = naturale, all'esterno Suolo = termine tecnico per il terreno Pavimento = artificiale, all'interno Contesto d'uso: "Terra" si usa anche in tante espressioni idiomatiche come "avere i piedi per terra" (essere realisti), "cadere a terra", "toccare terra", mentre "suolo" e "pavimento" non hanno questi usi figurati Pulizia: Solo il pavimento si "lava" o "pulisce" con il mocio! La terra e il suolo non si puliscono (semmai si pulisce qualcosa "dal" pavimento) Esempi pratici di utilizzo Terra: "Gli astronauti sono tornati sulla Terra dopo sei mesi nello spazio." "Il bambino gioca con la terra in giardino." "Devi essere più realista e avere i piedi per terra!" (Espressione idiomatica!) Suolo: "Il suolo di questa regione è molto fertile e adatto alla coltivazione del grano." Pavimento: "Ho pulito il pavimento della cucina con il mocio." "Attento! Ho appena lavato il pavimento, è ancora bagnato!" 3. MURO - PARETE Queste due parole possono sembrare sinonimi perfetti, ma non lo sono! È una delle distinzioni che confondono anche qualche italiano, quindi non sentitevi male. MURO è una struttura esterna, spessa e robusta, fatta generalmente di mattoni, pietra o cemento. I muri separano edifici diversi o delimitano spazi esterni. Pensate ai muri come a qualcosa di solido e massiccio, difficile da buttare giù! PARETE è una struttura interna, più sottile, che divide le stanze all'interno di un edificio. Le pareti sono generalmente intonacate e dipinte, magari di un bel colore che avete scelto con cura. Differenze Fondamentali tra Muro e Parete Muro = esterno, spesso, strutturale Parete = interna, più sottile, divisoria Funzione strutturale: il muro è quasi sempre portante, cioè sostiene il peso dell'edificio, mentre la parete può essere solo divisoria, non strutturale Materiale: i muri sono sempre in muratura solida (mattoni, pietra, cemento), le pareti interne possono essere anche in cartongesso o altri materiali leggeri Demolizione: abbattere un muro richiede permessi edilizi perché è strutturale, spostare una parete divisoria è molto più semplice e spesso non serve nemmeno il permesso! Esempi pratici di utilizzo Muro: "Il muro di cinta del giardino è alto tre metri." "Il muro di Berlino fu abbattuto nel 1989." "Prima di abbattere quel muro, devi chiedere il permesso al comune perché è portante." Parete: "Voglio appendere questo quadro alla parete del soggiorno." "Le pareti di questa casa sono sottili, si sente tutto dai vicini!" 4. CONGELARE - SURGELARE Entrambe queste parole hanno a che fare con il freddo estremo, ma attenzione: NON sono intercambiabili! CONGELARE significa portare qualcosa a una temperatura molto bassa fino a quando diventa ghiaccio o si solidifica. Si usa anche in senso figurato quando avete così tanto freddo che vi sentite trasformare in un ghiacciolo umano! SURGELARE è un processo industriale specifico che porta gli alimenti a temperature bassissime molto rapidamente per conservarli a lungo mantenendo qualità e nutrienti. I prodotti surgelati sono quelli che trovate al supermercato nel reparto freezer. Differenze Principali tra Congelare e Surgelare Congelare = processo generico, può essere casalingo (anche voi stessi quando fa freddo) Surgelare = processo industriale specifico per alimenti (quello professionale) Temperatura: la surgelazione raggiunge temperature molto più basse (almeno -18°C) e molto rapidamente, mentre il congelamento casalingo è più lento e può essere meno freddo Cristalli di ghiaccio: la surgelazione rapida crea cristalli di ghiaccio molto più piccoli che preservano meglio la struttura, il sapore e i nutrienti dell'alimento. Il congelamento lento crea cristalli più grandi che possono danneggiare le cellule del cibo Uso casalingo vs industriale: a casa, nel vostro freezer, voi "congelate" gli alimenti. In fabbrica, con macchinari speciali, si "surgela" Esempi pratici di utilizzo Congelare: "L'acqua della fontana si è congelata a causa del freddo." "Sto congelando! Possiamo accendere il riscaldamento?" "Ho congelato gli avanzi della cena nel freezer." (Processo casalingo) Surgelare: "I piselli surgelati mantengono meglio le vitamine di quelli in scatola." "Quando faccio la spesa, compro sempre verdure surgelate perché sono più comode e durano di più." 5. SENTIRE - ASCOLTARE Qui abbiamo una distinzione fondamentale tra un'azione passiva e una attiva! È un po' come la differenza tra guardare passivamente la TV e veramente prestare attenzione a quello che succede. SENTIRE è un verbo che indica la percezione involontaria di suoni attraverso l'orecchio. Non richiede concentrazione o volontà. ASCOLTARE significa prestare attenzione volontariamente a qualcosa che si sente. Richiede concentrazione e interesse. È quello che fate quando mettete le cuffie e vi concentrate sulla vostra canzone preferita. Differenze Essenziali tra Sentire e Ascoltare Sentire = passivo, involontario Ascoltare = attivo, volontario Con altri sensi: "Sentire" si usa anche per l'olfatto ("sento un buon profumo di caffè"), il gusto ("sento un sapore strano") e le sensazioni fisiche ("sento caldo", "sento freddo", "sento dolore"). "Ascoltare" invece funziona SOLO con l'udito! Attenzione paradossale: potete ascoltare anche senza sentire bene (se il volume è troppo basso o c'è rumore), oppure sentire senza ascoltare (quando qualcuno vi parla ma voi state ignorando volontariamente quello che dice) Espressioni comuni: si dice "sentirsi male/bene" per indicare uno stato fisico o emotivo, ma non si dice mai "ascoltarsi male"! Altre espressioni possono essere: "sentire la mancanza di qualcuno", "non sentirsi apprezzato" Esempi pratici di utilizzo Sentire: "Ho sentito un rumore strano in giardino."

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.

Jeffrey Epstein had a professional relationship with Gypsy Gita, a spiritual wellness guru who reportedly provided massage services to high-profile individuals including Prince Andrew. Gita worked for Epstein from around 2001 to 2005, and has stated that he met the Duke of York at least three times, providing massages on two occasions at Epstein's New York residence—what he described as “a weird, warped world.” Gita characterized Andrew as appearing “aloof,” “strange and arrogant,” noting that he “didn't know who Andrew was,” despite his prominent status—highlighting the chilling normalcy with which elite figures moved within Epstein's orbit.While not central to trafficking allegations, Gita's encounters with Prince Andrew underscore the broader ecosystem of exploitation that Epstein cultivated. As someone invited into his inner circle, Gita had direct access to both Epstein and his elite guests. The interactions between Gita and Prince Andrew, though framed in wellness and spirituality, reflect how grooming and recruitment networks extended beyond the well-known figures like Ghislaine Maxwell, touching even seemingly benign associates who contributed to the veneer of legitimacy around Epstein's world.

In Chapter 4, Verse 38, Shri Krishna reveals the power of true knowledge, teaching that only knowledge of the Spirit can purify us and dissolve ignorance about who we are and what life is. By prioritizing self-development, we shift from "doing" for joy to "Being" Joy, allowing understanding to arise naturally.➡️ To maximize your experience of this season, we encourage you to request your FREE copy of the Essential Love eBook.

On this week's episode, Nathan and Gita are joined by Maddy Myers and Zoë Hannah, both formerly of Polygon – you know, before all the bad stuff happened – and now of the newly announced Mothership, a site at the intersection of gender and games. Maddy and Zoë tell us about their plans for the site and what it means to launch a publication like this in an era when feminist media has been gutted, and even venerable institutions like Teen Vogue – a primary inspiration for Mothership – have fallen. Then we talk about how much money $8 is (actually $10, but also possibly $5). We also imagine what might happen if Asmongold, fresh off being retweeted by JD Vance, travels to The White House and gives Donald Trump some kind of plague. Nothing too bad, of course!Credits- Hosts: Nathan Grayson, Gita Jackson, & special guests Maddy Myers and Zoë Hannah- Podcast Production & Ads: Multitude- Subscribe to Aftermath!About The ShowAftermath Hours is the flagship podcast of Aftermath, a worker-owned, subscription-based website covering video games, the internet, and everything that comes after from journalists who previously worked at Kotaku, Vice, and The Washington Post.

In this episode, Swamiji continues Bhagavad Gita Chapter 7, Verse 11, clarifying that when Shree Krishna says, “I am the strength of the strong,” He is not referring to muscular power but to the inner courage that enables us to persevere through difficulties. This divine strength is free from desire and attachment—pure resilience that carries seekers beyond obstacles toward their goal.  Swamiji illustrates this with the astonishing journey of Helen Keller—deaf and blind from infancy—whose inner strength, guided by God's grace and the mentorship of Anne Sullivan, enabled her to learn language, study, graduate, and even deliver lectures by feeling vibrations on the throat and mouth. Her transformation—from tantrums to worldwide philanthropy and public speaking—embodies the Gita's teaching that true strength is an inner force bestowed by the Divine.  He contrasts this with modern challenges, like toddlers developing speech deformities due to early mobile addiction, and highlights the wonder of natural language acquisition—children at around three years forming rapid neural connections (extra axons creating pathways) that allow them to absorb language simply by hearing. This innate ability, too, is a glory of God, revealing how divine strength manifests as human capacity and growth.  Swamiji closes with Sri Aurobindo's insight: you must be more persistent than the difficulty—there is no other way. The path will have challenges, but those with inner strength persevere and reach the goal. This verse invites seekers to purify their strength of selfish motives and align it with dharma, recognizing that the courage to endure is itself a manifestation of God.  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 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 Chapter 4, Verse 13 of the Shrimad Bhagavad Gita, Shri Krishna emphasizes the importance of knowing ourselves through Divinity's classification of four personality colors. By aligning our propensity (personality) and projectivity (actions), we move toward Peace and realize the Presence beyond them, while misalignment leads to inefficiency.➡️ To maximize your experience of this season, we encourage you to request your FREE copy of the Essential Love eBook.

On Essential Love, we're unfolding the 70 core verses of the Bhagavad Gita. Chapter 4, Verse 8 of the Shrimad Bhagavad Gita focuses on the theme of deservershiplessness, as Shri Krishna shares that the Divine manifests—not through birth, but as needed—to protect the virtuous, correct the vicious, and restore righteousness. By being available to Divinity, just as Divinity is always available to us, we align with the timeless tradition of teachers and students.

Okay, this isn't our usual episode. There's no philosophy, no Gita breakdown, no talk of funnels or energy anatomy today. Instead, I have a gift for you—a guided meditation designed to help you do something surprisingly hard: feel good and stay in it. If you've been through trauma or long-term stress, your nervous system might default to worry, numbness, or waiting for the other shoe to drop—even when things are actually going well. This practice gently helps you expand your capacity to receive joy, compliments, connection, and peace without flinching. ✨ A few important notes:
