The Gita Series - A triune pilgrimage - 235 - Ch 18 - Sloka 52 to 54The one with these qualities becomes fit for being one with Brahman

On this week's episode, Nathan, Chris, and Gita bid farewell to the Aftermath Twitch channel—at least, in terms of using it to record the podcast—and turn their sights toward a pre-recorded, more-thoroughly-edited future (coming soon!). We also discuss Valve's decision to massively increase the Steam Deck's price thanks to “global logistical challenges” (read: AI and an incredibly stupid war) and how what seems to be the end of affordable consumer hardware might impact the games industry five or ten years down the line. Then we talk about the latest Boots Riley movie, I Love Boosters, and how intensely good it is by virtue of embracing a singular vision—the kind film industry outsiders rarely get the opportunity to put on screen these days. After that, we dive into the weeds of what it means to play and enjoy a game—in this case, Zero Parades: For Dead Spies—despite thorny origins. Lastly, Gita and Nathan debate the merits of two popular bands, Paramore and Sleep Token, even though both of their opinions are wrong.Credits- Hosts: Chris Person, Gita Jackson, and Luke Plunkett- 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.

Don Fabio Miglioranza di Sarcedo prende posizione in difesa delle maestre della scuola primaria Cuman Pertile di Marostica, duramente attaccate da politici di destra per aver organizzato una giornata didattica con i bambini di quinta a Trieste, dove si fermano i profughi della Rotta Balcanica. Per Don Fabio quei politici, che non difendono la cultura della solidarietà, "non sono discepoli di Cristo ma adoratori di Satana".

On this week's pod, Luke, Gita and Chris got together to talk about the game that people inexplicably cannot stop talking about: Mixtape. We talk about the way that it's portrayal of teen nostalgia hits, and more frequently, doesn't hit, as well as the bizarre series of conversations that are occurring about this game on social media. Then, Chris and Gita chat about the orb-tastic Saros, a game for total sickos that these two sickos are truly enjoying.Credits- Hosts: Chris Person, Gita Jackson, and Luke Plunkett- 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.

The Gita Series - A triune pilgrimage - 232 - Ch 18 - Sloka 43 to 45All people are divided on the basis of the Guna that predominates

Season 5 of A Curious Yogi is here.I'm so happy to begin this season with a solo episode exploring an essential teaching from my teacher, Swamiji, who encouraged everyone to learn and memorize these seven verses from the Bhagavad Gita (Chapter 2, verses 19–25). He described them as containing the essence of the entire scripture.In this episode, I share some of Swamiji's reflections and commentary, attempt to sing the Sanskrit verses myself (eek), and explore ways we can read, contemplate, and meditate on this timeless text as modern seekers.Some key themes from the conversation:The Gita is not simply a literal story about war or battle, but an exploration of the inner conflict between the individual self and the wisdom of the Higher Self.Gita means “song” — these teachings were meant to be sung, recited, and absorbed deeply.The teachings point us toward deathlessness: the reminder that we are not merely the body or identity we take ourselves to be.Perspective matters deeply — reading the Gita through Krishna's consciousness offers something very different from reading solely through Arjuna's confusion.If this episode gives you even a small glimpse into the depth and beauty of the Gita, I'd love for you to join me this June for an 18-week reading, study, and meditation group: 18 chapters in 18 weeks.All sessions will be recorded, so there's no pressure to attend live every time. And Patreon members receive 50% off the full offering.More than anything, I'm excited to explore this mystical and practical scripture intentionally with the curious yogi sangha.In oneness, Bobbi Thanks for listening!

The Gita Series - A triune pilgrimage - 229 - Ch 18 - Sloka 33 to 36The three types of Dhritis or Resolves

A reading for meditation of selected verses from the 'Essence of Ribhu Gita'. Translated by Professor N.R. Krishnamoorthi Aiyer.The Ribhu Gita is a revered Advaita Vedānta text that teaches the direct realization of the Self as pure, indivisible awareness. It is presented as a dialogue between the sage Ribhu and his devoted disciple Nidagha. The teaching is uncompromisingly non-dual, declaring that the Self alone exists and that all apparent multiplicity is merely a superimposition upon that reality.The text is famous for its radical simplicity and repetition, repeatedly affirming the truth that Brahman alone is real and identical with the Self.The Ribhu Gita has been especially cherished in the tradition of Ramana Maharshi, who often recommended its study. Portions of the text were translated into Tamil by Bhagavan Sri Ramana Maharshi, and it became an important scripture for many non-dual practitioners.Music: Meditative Mind

On this week's episode, Nathan and Gita are joined by Chandana Ekanayake, director of Dosa Divas, a new turn-based RPG about cooking, culture, and reconciling with loved ones. Also, mechs. We discuss the game's inspirations, as well as the way food and other elements of culture are often stripped of their original context and commodified—which allows for the dehumanization of the very people who made the food in the first place. We also talk about what it takes for a small studio to keep the lights on as the video game industry sinks deeper and deeper into the swamps of tumult and how that experience—including, unfortunately, layoffs—surfaces in Dosa Divas as a theme. Lastly, we share our favorite dishes to serve friends and say what everyone else is thinking: The Pope was cooler before he went corporate.Credits- Hosts: Nathan Grayson, Gita Jackson, and special guest Chandana Ekanayake- 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.

a conversation with James Beshara, founder of Magic Mind on remembering what you already are.this one moves through the Gita, but not as something distant or philosophical—something lived. something felt. we talk about what it really means to choose righteousness… not as morality, but as choosing yourself. your truth. your authenticity. over the pull of validation, approval, and performance.and somewhere in the middle of it all, something deeper reveals itself:you are not separate from what you're seeking.you are already it.divine. whole. enough.a meditation on returning to that knowing—and why nothing is more satisfying than living from it.**there's a gentle lag in parts of this conversation (the reality of meeting over screens)—thank you for staying with us through it.**checkout more from James below:James on InstagramMagic MindOPENSTATEThe Daily VedanticAPT AI (use code APTPRO100 at TRYAPT.AI)

On a this week's episode, Nathan and Gita are joined by journalist-turned-politician Kat Abughazaleh, who recently managed to nearly win the Democratic congressional primary in Illinois despite odds being stacked against her. We discuss what she learned from her narrow defeat, both in terms of politics and an unexpected tool in her fundraising arsenal: livestreaming on Twitch. We also talk about her plans for the future now that she's at least for the moment out of the political limelight and, of course, her great idea for a video game (it's kinda like Pikmin or maybe Untitled Goose Game, except with cats). Then we move on to a subject near and debatably dear to Kat's heart: Politicians and mainstream media can't be normal about Hasan Piker, just as they refused to be normal about her. The Democrats and hating their own increasingly successful left flank—name a more iconic duo. Finally, we talk about our favorite ways to prepare the humble potato.

On a this week's (very special) episode, Nathan and Gita are joined by podcasting royalty, Michael Hobbes of If Books Could Kill and Maintenance Phase, to discuss Aftermath's latest, greatest, possibly dumbest event, Woke Week, as well as Michael's true passion: video game speedruns. What was Woke 1? What were its true ills versus those centrist pundits have wrongly tried to diagnose? And why are Woke 1 and Woke 2 fighting? Can they stop? There are also multiple shocking—to Michael—reveals throughout the episode, such as Nathan's role in Gamergate. We fill him in on all the deep gamer lore and some recent drama involving Chris and Bluesky that exemplified the Woke 1 vs 2 divide. Finally, we decide which games constitute the Woke 2 canon, and we pick out a mascot (Kirby).Credits- Hosts: Nathan Grayson, Gita Jackson, Chris Person, and special guest Michael Hobbes- 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.

Swamiji reveals how God truly measures spiritual progress, drawing from Krishna's wisdom in the Bhagavad Gita. Growth is not about accumulating knowledge or external achievements, but about inner transformation — the purification of the heart, humility in conduct, and alignment of our actions with divine principles.  Through a powerful story, Swamiji illustrates that while the world often measures success by recognition, possessions, or intellectual mastery, God looks at what we have become. Even a single teaching of the Gita, when lived sincerely, can elevate the soul far more than volumes of knowledge left unpracticed.  Krishna's guidance reminds seekers that true progress is seen in the refinement of character — patience, compassion, detachment, and unwavering devotion. Knowledge without transformation is empty, but wisdom applied in daily life becomes the measure of real growth.  This teaching inspires us to stop comparing ourselves by worldly standards and instead ask: Has my heart become purer? Have my actions reflected Krishna's teachings? In this way, God's measure of growth is not external success but the depth of our bhakti and the sincerity of our transformation.  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.  Link to the playlist: Bhagavad Gita for everyday living By Swami Mukundananda
