In this episode, Swamiji explores Bhagavad Gita Chapter 7, Verse 2, where Shree Krishna reveals the two essential qualities required to truly experience the Divine: spiritual knowledge (jnana) and realized wisdom (vijnana). Listeners will discover how these two facets—when cultivated through devotion—lead to a deep, experiential understanding of God beyond intellectual grasp.  Swamiji explains that while theoretical knowledge introduces us to divine truths, it is only through heartfelt devotion and inner realization that we begin to perceive God's presence in our lives. This episode emphasizes the importance of integrating scriptural study with spiritual practice, allowing divine wisdom to unfold naturally within.  Building upon our previous episode about Bhakti Yoga as the supreme path, this discussion deepens your understanding of how knowledge and devotion work in harmony to awaken divine consciousness. Tune in to enrich your journey through the Gita and elevate your quest for truth, wisdom, and spiritual fulfillment.

Tune in to enrich your journey through the Gita and elevate your quest for clarity, surrender, and spiritual fulfillment. 

In this episode, Swamiji explores Bhagavad Gita Chapter 7, Verse 3, where Shree Krishna reveals a sobering truth: among thousands, only a rare soul strives for perfection, and even fewer truly know Him. Listeners will discover how spiritual progress demands relentless effort, unwavering faith, and the courage to rise after every fall.  Swamiji emphasizes that failure is not a sign of weakness but a necessary part of the soul's evolution. Through inspiring examples and deep scriptural insight, this episode encourages seekers to persevere—no matter how many times they stumble—because the path to divine realization is reserved for those who never give up.  Building upon our previous episodes on devotion and divine wisdom, this discussion deepens your understanding of spiritual resilience and the rarity of true God-realization.

In this episode, Swamiji explores Bhagavad Gita Chapter 7, Verse 4, where Shree Krishna unveils the eightfold division of His material energy—earth, water, fire, air, ether, mind, intellect, and ego. Listeners will discover how this verse encapsulates the very foundation of creation, revealing a divine blueprint that modern science has only begun to glimpse.  Swamiji bridges ancient wisdom with contemporary understanding, showing how all sentient and insentient matter is a manifestation of God's energy. This episode invites seekers to reflect on the sacredness of the world around them and recognize the Divine not just in temples, but in the very elements of existence.  Building upon our previous episode about rare souls and relentless effort, this discussion deepens your understanding of the material world as an extension of the Divine.

In this episode, Swamiji begins his exploration of Bhagavad Gita Chapter 7, Verse 5, where Shree Krishna reveals the existence of a higher energy—the soul (jiva)—distinct from the eightfold material nature. Listeners will discover how this divine spark animates the body, mind, and intellect, and why science, despite its advances, cannot grasp the essence of consciousness.  Swamiji explains that while the material world is governed by prakriti, it is the jiva—God's superior energy—that experiences, chooses, and evolves. This episode invites seekers to reflect on their true identity beyond physical form and recognize the soul's eternal connection with the Divine.  Building upon our previous episode about the divine blueprint of creation, this discussion deepens your understanding of the soul's role in the cosmic design and sets the stage for a profound inquiry into spiritual selfhood.

In this episode, Swamiji continues his exploration of Bhagavad Gita Chapter 7, Verse 5, revealing the three distinct energies of Shree Krishna—material energy (prakriti), spiritual energy (jiva), and divine energy (para shakti). Listeners will discover how these energies interact to form the fabric of existence and how the soul, though bound by matter, remains eternally connected to the Divine.  Swamiji explains that while the material body is governed by lower nature, the soul belongs to Krishna's superior energy and is meant to transcend worldly limitations. This episode offers a profound understanding of our spiritual identity and the intimate relationship we share with God as His eternal fragment.  Building upon our previous episode about the soul's divine origin, this discussion deepens your understanding of how recognizing these energies can transform your perspective on life, purpose, and devotion.

In this episode, Swamiji concludes his exploration of Bhagavad Gita Chapter 7, Verse 5, addressing one of the most profound spiritual questions: Are we God, or merely His energy? Listeners will discover how Shree Krishna draws a clear distinction between the soul and the Supreme, resolving centuries of philosophical debate with divine clarity.  Swamiji explains that while the soul (jiva) is a fragment of Krishna's superior energy, it is not the Supreme Being itself. This episode dismantles misconceptions about oneness and highlights the soul's eternal dependence on God, emphasizing humility, devotion, and the joy of divine relationship.  Building upon our previous episodes on the soul's identity and its connection to Krishna, this discussion deepens your understanding of spiritual individuality and the nature of divine energy. Tune in to enrich your journey through the Gita and elevate your quest for truth, clarity, and transcendental wisdom. 

In this episode, Swamiji begins his exploration of Bhagavad Gita Chapter 7, Verse 6, where Shree Krishna reveals the ultimate reason behind the creation of the material world. Listeners will discover how both the lower (material) and higher (spiritual) energies originate from the Divine, and how creation itself is an expression of God's purposeful design.  Swamiji explains that the world is not a random occurrence but a divine arrangement meant to facilitate the soul's journey toward realization. This episode invites seekers to reflect on their place in the cosmic plan and understand how every experience—joyful or painful—serves a higher spiritual purpose.  Building upon our previous episodes on the soul's identity and divine energies, this discussion deepens your understanding of creation as a sacred opportunity for growth, surrender, and reunion with the Divine.

In this episode, Swamiji continues his exploration of Bhagavad Gita Chapter 7, Verse 6, revealing the deeper purpose behind life's delays and struggles. Listeners will discover how Shree Krishna's divine plan is not about denial, but preparation—shaping the soul through patience, introspection, and surrender.  Swamiji explains that spiritual growth often requires waiting—not as punishment, but as a sacred pause where the soul matures and becomes ready to receive divine grace. Through relatable examples and scriptural clarity, this episode encourages seekers to trust the timing of their journey and embrace every moment as part of Krishna's design.  Building upon our previous episode about the divine origin of creation, this discussion deepens your understanding of how God's timing aligns with your spiritual readiness.

Krishna's Final Lesson | The Uddhava Gita | Kiental, Switzerland | Svayam Bhagavan Keshava Maharaja by Wisdom That Breathes by Keshava Maharaja

The Bhagavad Gita is more than scripture — it's a timeless playbook for mastering your mind and winning your inner battles.In this episode of The xMonks Drive Podcast, host Gaurav Arora sits down with Prithviraaj Shetty — a young entrepreneur, founder of Bhagavad Gita For All (BGFA), and faith-tech innovator who left behind a career path from Imperial College London and Columbia University to bring spiritual wisdom into the digital age.From his collaborations with Suniel Shetty and Vidyut Jammwal, to his mission of making the Gita accessible for Gen Z and modern professionals, Prithviraaj shares stories, struggles, and shlokas that show why the mind is our greatest friend — or our worst enemy.

On this week's episode, Nathan, Chris, and Gita talk about the two latest signs that the video game industry is being chopped up and sold for parts: EA's $55 billion sale to a consortium that includes Saudi Arabia and Microsoft's decision to up Game Pass' price by 50 percent – the latter of which follows multiple rounds of layoffs and studio closures almost certainly intended to help pay for the company's own $68.7 billion purchase of Activision Blizzard. Who benefits from any of this, aside from executives and, now, a government that seeks to sportswash human rights abuses via not just sports themselves, but also some of the biggest video games about those sports? And what, really, is left of these once-unshakable juggernauts even before they really go through the most vicious iteration yet of the profit-ravenous meat grinder? Then we discuss Baby Steps, a literal walking simulator about masculinity that Chris absolutely adores. Finally, we invent new candy bars, including, unfortunately, Dubai Twix.Credits- Hosts: Nathan Grayson, Chris Person, & Gita Jackson- 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.

According to the Jewish tradition, we are in the High Holy Days. According to the news, we are in the lowest unholy days. Both are true. As global tensions escalate, this paradox points directly to the teaching of the Bhagavad Gita: The war to be concerned with is the inner battle between your ego and your soul. The Gita has inspired much of modern Western philosophy—from Schopenhauer and Hegel to Nietzsche and beyond—yet none of those thinkers got the real message being transmitted. Accurate understanding of the Gita's profound instructions is essential now for physical survival in this time of tribulation and, more importantly, for spiritual salvation.

What if your consultancy didn't look like everyone else's? What if it was built on values from day one, hired people most firms overlooked, and kept culture at the core as it grew? This month's guest has done precisely that, and then some. Gita Singham-Willis is one of the three co-founders of Cadence Innova, a multi-award-winning transformation consultancy. From her early days running textile factories in Portugal to reshaping how consulting firms think about people, culture, and growth, Gita's journey is anything but ordinary. In this episode, she sits down with Nick Synnott to share the entire story, from founding Cadence Innova with a mission to be different, to building a consultancy that said no thanks to traditional hierarchies and yes, please, to working parents, diverse teams, and radical inclusion. She also shares the thinking behind Cadence's eventual sale, how they maintained their culture throughout the process, and what she has learned about leadership, DEI, and what truly matters in consulting. If you're building a consultancy, scaling a team, or wondering how to keep your values alive as you grow, this one's packed with practical insight and plenty of inspiration. We cover: ✅ Why Cadence started by hiring women returning to work and why it worked ✅ The “family model” that replaced traditional line management ✅ How to spot consulting potential outside of traditional CVs ✅ The truth about selling your firm and how to protect your culture in the process ✅ Why DEI isn't a ‘nice to have' it's a business necessity ✅ The advice Gita would give to junior, mid-career, and aspiring partner consultants Enjoy the show!

The Hidden Code That Transforms Sin Into LiberationWhat if I told you that the difference between sinful and virtuous action has nothing to do with the action itself? Mind-blowing, right? Today, we're cracking open one of spirituality's most practical secrets – the formula for sinless action hidden in Bhagavad Gita verse 2.38.In This Episode, You'll Discover:• The exact mental formula that prevents actions from creating negative karma• Why the same action can either bind you or free you (with real examples)• The three pairs of opposites you must master for sinless action• How emotional attachment creates sin, not the action itself• Practical techniques to purify any action before you take it• The difference between avoiding action and transforming actionLet me paint you a picture: Arjuna, legendary warrior, stands paralyzed on the battlefield. His fear? Not death, but sin. "How can I fight my own family? Surely this action will damn me!" Sound familiar? Maybe you've felt this way about a difficult decision – damned if you do, damned if you don't.Krishna's response flips everything on its head. He reveals that what makes action sinful according to Gita isn't the action itself but the mental state behind it. As verse 2.38 states: "Fight for the sake of duty, treating alike pleasure and pain, gain and loss, victory and defeat. Fulfilling your responsibility in this way, you will never incur sin."Here's the game-changer: Sin comes from acting with a disturbed, attached mind. When you chase pleasure or flee pain, when you grasp for gain or fear loss, when you crave victory or dread defeat – that's when actions create bondage. But perform the exact same action with a balanced mind? It becomes dharmic action, creating no karmic residue.I love how the text uses the metaphor of an actor. A skilled actor plays both hero and villain with full commitment, yet never confuses themselves with the role. Similarly, we can engage fully in life's drama while maintaining inner freedom. This is the essence of action without karma.The practical magic happens when you apply this before any major decision. Instead of agonizing over outcomes, you consciously balance your mind first. You ask: "Am I acting from desire or duty? From disturbance or stability?" This simple shift transforms potentially binding actions into liberating ones.Modern psychology confirms what yogis knew millennia ago – that the space between stimulus and response contains our freedom. The formula for sinless action teaches us to expand that space, to choose our response from wisdom rather than reactivity.Here's my challenge for you: Before your next difficult action, pause. Balance your mind regarding the possible outcomes. Then act from that place of equilibrium. Watch how the quality of your action transforms.Remember, you don't need to fear action when you understand this formula. Every moment becomes an opportunity to practice sinless action, to engage fully while remaining free.krsnadaasa (Servant of Krishna)https://pragmaticgita.com

In episode 304 of The Just Checking In Podcast we checked back in with Nikhil Patel, alongside his mother, Gita Patel. Nikhil Patel currently works as English Teacher and Student Support Lead at the Cambridge International School, based in Dubai in the United Arab Emirates, where he has worked since August 2021. We first checked in with Nik way back when in JCIP #40, in May 2020! We discussed his time working with our Founder Freddie at Barracuda's Summer Camps, where they first met, and his teaching journey. At that point in time Nik was working at a school in Doha in Qatar. In this episode we are checking back in with Nik, but also his mum Gita. Gita works in teaching herself and has worked in a number of roles across her teaching career. She currently works as an SEND 1:1 Learning Coach & Higher Level Teaching Assistant (HLTA), and Gita was a big influence on Nik in his desire to be a teacher and has supported him on that journey. Gita also worked at Barracudas at the time as Nikhil and Freddie did, as one of the senior leaders at the camp, and still works there every summer to this day in 2025. The structure for this podcast will follow a similar to the amazing conversation we had with previous guests Jay Williams and his mum Niru, and will contain some similar themes too, with Niru and Gita both coming from an Indian background. Unlike Niru, Gita was actually born in Mombasa in Kenya and was part of the Indian community there, before she moved to the UK when she was seven years old. In this episode we discuss Gita's mental health journey, the challenges of assimilating to the UK as a young girl, navigating adolescence and starting a family. We then discuss motherhood, raising two sons in Nik and his younger brother Krishan, the anxieties she had about raising them with their dual English-Indian background, even when it came to choosing their names, and how she and her husband tried to give them the best of both these worlds. After that, we have a nostalgic chat about Barracuda's, before discussing Nik and Krish's decisions to go to university and move away from home, flying the proverbial nest and the impact that had on Gita's mental health as a parent. We finish by discussing the relationship they have now as adults, how they lean on each other for advice and support as fellow teaching professionals, and how Gita deals with Nik living halfway across the world in the UAE on a weekly basis.

Meditation is to quiet the mind, shift our awareness from being on the thoughts and imaginations that are in the mind.12:56 So Baba, that has to happen automatically, spontaneously, the turning to its Self, because at that point you can't be thinking.13:29 So you can't really be thinking and be in that state. Is that correct? 14:09 In meditation people can have experiences, you're really not in the Self at that time. You're just caught up in a higher, better imagination?15:17 So the yogi has to have the resolve to silence the mind and not get carried away with the imaginations as they can be more profound and more charming, and more alluring.16:03 What's the distinction between the Consciousness of Existence and the Self, or the mind and the Self?16:58 "Very often, seekers give up worldly life and go to the forest caves and ashrams, and they just end up struggling for another world that they have in their imagination."19:15 Supreme Peace is beyond bliss.20:05 "There is nothing to give up if you don't hold on to anything in the mind." 22:16 "Once you've acquired the awareness-knowledge, there is nothing that you have to absorb, and nothing is there that you have to give up."24:35 What does Babaji mean by 'awareness-knowledge'?25:30 So that awareness-knowledge is when you've managed to quiet the mind of all the extraneous thoughts, but you still have that awareness of your own existence?26:10 So it's that last state, where all thoughts have been withdrawn, except it's conscious of its own existence, and then that merges into the Self.29:00 The meaning of the terms tyaga and tapas.32:39 How is body consciousness different from there mind?34:37 How is karma related to the practice of quietening the mind? In the practice of meditation, how can karmas help you?36:24 How do the karmas of everyday living also impact progressing in our spirituality?___Website: http://www.srby.orgFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/shivarudrabalayogiTwitter: https://twitter.com/SRBYmissionInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/shivarudrabalayogi/Register your free place for the live online meditation and Q&A with Babaji: https://www.shivarudrabalayogi.org/en/online-satsang Website: http://www.srby.orgFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/shivarudrabalayogiTwitter: https://twitter.com/SRBYmissionInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/shivarudrabalayogi/

Welcome to the Part Time Pilot Audio Ground School Podcast! This podcast takes our free podcast to a whole new level by providing students with every single lesson included in the Part Time Pilot Private Pilot & IFR Ground Schools without a single Ad! On top of that, VIP podcast students get BONUS episodes like Mock Checkrides, Checkride Prep, Expert Interviews and more!   The #1 reason student pilots never end up becoming a private pilot is NOT due to money. The real reason is actually deeper than that. Yes, flight training is expensive. But every student pilot knows this and budgets for it when they decide to do it.   The actual #1 reason a student pilot fails is because they do not have a good, fundamental understanding of the private pilot knowledge they are meant to learn in ground school.   You see when a student does not have a good grasp of this knowledge they get to a point in their flight training where their mind just can't keep up. They start making mistakes and having to redo lessons. And THAT is when it starts getting too expensive.   This audio ground school is meant for the modern day student pilot... aka the part time student pilot. Let's face it, the majority of us have full time responsibilities on top of flight training. Whether it is a job, kids, family, school, etc. we all keep ourselves busy with the things that are important to us. And with today's economy we have to maintain that job just to pay for the training. The modern day student pilot is busy, on the go and always trying to find time throughout his or her day to stay up on their studies. The audio ground school allows them to consume high quality content while walking, running, working out, sitting in traffic, traveling, or even just a break from the boring FAR/AIM or ground school lecture.   Did I meant high quality content? The audio ground school is taken straight out of the 5-star rated Part Time Pilot Online Ground School that has had over 2000 students take and pass their Private Pilot & IFR exams with only 2 total students failing the written. That's a 99.9% success rate! And the 2 that failed? We refunded their cost of ground school and helped them pass on their second attempt. We do this by keeping ground school engaging, fun, light and consumable. We have written lessons, videos, audio lessons, live video lessons, community chats, quizzes, practice tests, flash cards, study guides, eBooks and much more.   Part Time Pilot was created to be a breath of fresh air for student pilots. To be that flight training provider that looks out for them and their needs. So that is just what we are doing with this podcast.     BONUS: In this BONUS episode we continue our Day in the Life series with an interview with the hosts of the Calm Cockpit podcast! Another fantastic aviation podcast you should all checkout and listen to as it interviews expert guests on all the things we don't exactly focus on in ground or flight training but are oh so very important to being a good and safe pilot. Things like sleep, stress, health, etc.. John is a CFI who was the former head of NAFI and Gita is a current student pilot! So a great mix of perspectives for this Day in the Life episode.   Links mentioned in the episode: Calm Cockpit Podcast: https://calmcockpit.com/ Private Pilot Online Ground School: PPL Ground School - Part Time Pilot Checkride Prep: PPL Checkride Prep - Part Time Pilot IFR Online Ground School: IFR Ground School – Part Time Pilot   PPL study group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/parttimepilot  IFR study group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/parttimepilotifr/   Recommended Products & Discounts:  https://parttimepilot.com/recommended-products-for-student-pilots/   

The Gita Series - A triune pilgrimage - 196 - Ch 15 - Slokas 1 & 2The Ashvatta Tree of Creation

Jeremy Au and Gita Sjahrir unpack Indonesia's turbulence, from corruption scandals and startup economic uncertainty due to the collapse of eFishery. They contrast Singapore's stability with Indonesia's volatility, explore how weak rule of law erodes trust, and discuss how scandals damage both founders and investors. They also analyze the role of boards, GPs, and operating partners in strengthening Southeast Asia's startup ecosystem. 02:00 Corruption scandals seem to show political motivation: The Tom Lembong case introduced the charge of “potential loss to the state,” which was never proven, and targeted him while other ministers who made similar decisions were left untouched. 04:46 Public mistrust deepens: Indonesians question whether corruption cases are genuine, ploys, or selective prosecutions, and many view them as witch hunts that worsen the disconnect between government and citizens. This has resulted in street protests. 09:19 Economic data raises skepticism: Official growth figures of above 5 percent confused the public, as weak indicators like falling auto sales, rising unemployment, and declining foreign direct investment suggest economic hardship is the reality. 12:12 Central bank cuts interest rates: The surprise decision was a move to boost growth to increase domestic investments and spending. Observers argued that transparency and equal rule of law remain the true foundation for long-term capital flows. 15:07 eFishery founder detained by Indonesia police: The founder's detention followed a public Bloomberg interview in which he admitted to misconduct, reinforcing concerns that the scandal severely damaged trust in Indonesia's startup scene. Law enforcement may improve public trust and deter bad-faith actors 19:33 Investor reaction turns punitive: Indonesia founders are asked to show profitability very early, to hit one million ARR within their first year, and to give up more than 20 percent equity even before a Series A. 28:17 VC operating partner model is missing: Unlike private equity, Southeast Asian venture capital rarely employs experienced operating partners - to support founders directly or fill board seats, leaving a gap in hands-on help and corporate governance.

The Gita Series - A triune pilgrimage - 195 - Ch 1 4 - Summary

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:

It's a reminder that comes up often in the Bhāgavatam: labdhvā su-durlabham idaṁ bahu-sambhavānte mānuṣyam artha-dam anityam apīha dhīraḥ (SB 11.9.29). It's such a rare opportunity, and it's so temporary. But if you take something temporary and you turn it into something eternal, then you're the wisest person—if we can just use the short time slot we have here. And it goes by so quickly. If you blink your eyes and open them again, you'll look up and go, "Oh my goodness, I'm 64 years old." You know, it just happens in a blink of an eye. So, fill in all the blanks with Harinām. Fill in all the blanks with Bhagavad Gītā and Śrīmad Bhāgavatam, and just do service and stay in it no matter what else is happening in your life. Because if you can do that and fill it in, then when you leave this body, Kṛṣṇa will make arrangements to continue your service in amazing ways. ------------------------------------------------------------ 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
