Oncology drug development is becoming more complex, and bioanalysis can no longer be treated as simple drug measurement.Sponsored by Leucentra, https://leucentra.com/Inspired by science, empowered by IT. Leucentra helps life science and healthcare organizations evaluate, implement, and get more value from technology that supports innovation.In this episode of BioTalk Unzipped, Gregory Austin and Dr. Chad Briscoe speak with Dr. Lakshmi Amaravadi, Head of Oncology Bioanalysis at AstraZeneca, live from AAPS PharmSci 360 in San Antonio.Dr. Amaravadi unpacks why biomarker validation is not one-size-fits-all, how context of use should guide scientific decision making, and why fit-for-purpose validation matters in modern oncology drug development.The conversation explores:00:00 Why oncology bioanalysis is becoming more complex02:12 FDA biomarker validation guidance and industry response04:27 What “fit for purpose” means in practice06:38 PK assay validation vs biomarker assay validation07:52 What drives Dr. Amaravadi's work in translational science10:48 Why validation is not a checkbox exercise12:19 Advice for young scientists entering bioanalysis15:12 Why oncology drug development is uniquely complex18:17 ADCs, bispecifics, T-cell engagers, and conditional T-cell engagers19:38 Why bioanalysis now requires understanding biology20:46 Dr. Amaravadi's path from molecular biology to bioanalysis24:34 Critical reagent management in complex oncology assays26:42 Validation, qualification, and context of use29:03 Final thoughts from AAPS PharmSci 360This episode is especially relevant for scientists, bioanalytical leaders, translational researchers, clinical pharmacologists, oncology development teams, biomarker scientists, and anyone working at the intersection of drug development, assay validation, and precision medicine.Dr. Amaravadi discusses how oncology programs now involve ADCs, bispecifics, T-cell engagers, conditional T-cell engagers, complex linkers, multiple measurable species, immunogenicity considerations, and biomarker strategies that require deeper biological understanding. As she explains in the episode, the future of oncology bioanalysis is not simply measuring what is present. It is understanding what the measurement means in the context of the biology and the development decision.Follow BioTalk Unzipped for conversations with leaders in biotech, pharma, bioanalysis, clinical development, translational science, regulatory strategy, and the future of medicine.GuestDr. Lakshmi Amaravadihttps://www.linkedin.com/in/lakshmi-amaravadi/HostsGregory Austinhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/gregoryaustin1/Dr. Chad Briscoehttps://www.linkedin.com/in/chadbriscoe/Sponsor: LeucentraRelated LinksCelerionhttps://www.celerion.com/

In this episode of Domina Tempora, we spread our wings into the shadowed realm of the owl — a creature of night, mystery, and duality that has haunted and inspired humanity for millennia.Regarded as the “monster of the night” and harbinger of death by Pliny and many ancient cultures, the owl was linked to desolation, ill omens, and the underworld. From the ukuku of Sumerian curses and Phoenician funeral rites to its transformation into the demonic Lilith, and its ominous appearances before the falls of emperors and armies, the owl has long been a messenger of doom and darkness.Yet this nocturnal predator also embodied profound wisdom and fortune. As the sacred companion of Athena, the owl graced Athenian coins as a symbol of strategic brilliance and victory in battle. In Hindu tradition, it served as the vahana of Lakshmi, goddess of wealth and prosperity, representing the light of wisdom piercing through ignorance. Across cultures, its cry could foretell both disaster and triumph, its gaze both a warning and a blessing.We explore this ancient tension — the owl as bird of death and symbol of enlightenment, associate of witches and goddess of strategy, creature of fear and bringer of prosperity.If the seductive interplay of darkness and wisdom, divine power, and dangerous omens resonates with you, my debut novel Clotho Unbound is calling. In its pages, Clotho — the Fate who has spun death for Zeus across the ages — becomes entangled with Aphrodite in stolen, blasphemous nights of passion that make the Loom of Fate itself tremble. Their love is treason. Their desire could unravel destiny.Clotho Unbound is out now — order your copy today on Amazon (Kindle, paperback, and audiobook).Direct link:https://www.amazon.com/Clotho-Unbound-Marianne-Fisher/dp/B0GTZ8PZFVThank you for listening.Until next time — may your omens be wise and your nights watchful.

27th May 2026In this Satsnag, Sanjay spoke about Eid al-Adha, discussing the concept of sacrifice as surrendering the ego and achieving self-realization through recognizing one's true nature as pure awareness. He explained that when people understand "I am only awareness," they can experience the same bliss and peace in waking life as in deep sleep, describing this as entering a state of Samadhi while remaining active. Lakshmi asked about handling noisy family members and maintaining inner peace, to which Sanjay advised keeping quiet, having compassion, and not trying to change others, suggesting that the desire for more solitude might be a sign of spiritual progress. Sanjay also discussed how egoless awareness affects relationships, explaining that without ego, one becomes insensitive to others' egoistic behavior and simply witnesses whatever happens without trying to fix or change situations.These are teachings and pointers from ongoing NDA(Non-duality awareness)/Advaitic Satsangs held at Bhagavan Ramana Maharshi Centre in Melbourne, Australia. Om Namo Bhagavate Sri Arunachala Ramanaya !

6th May 2026In this Satsang, Sanjay delivered a spiritual teaching on the futility of searching for permanent happiness and immortality in the external world. Drawing on a story from Buddha's time about a warrior seeking a physical place where no one dies, he explained that true immortality and eternal bliss (Satchitananda) can only be found by turning inward and realizing the unchanging, formless Self. He highlighted how the mind constantly divides and creates "fake news" of discrimination, urging seekers to treat all worldly projections like an illusory movie and to abide instead in the unified silence of the heart. The session beautifully concluded with a guest speaker, Lakshmi from Nepal, who shared her transformative journey from practicing Vipassana to discovering profound inner silence through Ramana Maharshi's teachings via Conscious Circle, culminating in her writing a book and devoting her life to solitude. Sanjay celebrated her dedication, discussed the idea of an inclusive spiritual center, and announced upcoming Hindi Satsangs for the community. These are teachings and pointers from ongoing NDA(Non-duality awareness)/Advaitic Satsangs held at Bhagavan Ramana Maharshi Centre in Melbourne, Australia.

Why Isn't Everyone Becoming a Fulfillionaire? with JP Newman What if your relationship to money has nothing to do with how much you have, and everything to do with the frequency you're operating from? In this episode of Why Isn't Everyone Doing This?, Emily Fletcher sits down with investor, entrepreneur, and Fulfillionaire founder JP Newman for a conversation that will permanently shift how you think about financial freedom. JP has spent decades working with high net worth individuals who achieve their financial goals and still feel empty, and he's built a framework that addresses why. The Fulfillionaire approach goes beyond net worth. JP maps out four dimensions of wealth, People, Purpose, Play, and Presence, and shows how clarity in each of these areas is what actually dissolves the scarcity loop. He introduces the concept of the freedom number (or the "plenty number"), explains how passive income works in practice, and walks through why most people are unconsciously running a strategy he calls "hope and pray." Emily shares her own story of how a single week of nervous system work with Kate Northrup helped her team identify $1.1 million in cuttable expenses, not through grinding harder, but through changing her energetic relationship to money first. This episode bridges Vedic wisdom, Judeo-Christian mystical tradition, and practical financial literacy, making it one of the most grounded and spiritually resonant money conversations in the show's history. In this episode, they explore: – The four P's of multidimensional wealth and why financial planning without them creates one-dimensional success – How to find your freedom number and stop the "hope and pray" strategy – The Vedic teaching on Lakshmi and why money wants somewhere to go – Why scarcity persists even in billionaires, and what the data on Warren Buffett's Giving Pledge reveals – The eight levels of giving according to mystical tradition, and which one creates the cleanest spiritual transaction – How Emily's energy shift produced $1.1 million in discovered savings in one week – A practical parenting strategy for teaching kids financial empowerment starting at age six – Why JP turned Fulfillionaire into a nonprofit Key Moments: 00:00 – The moment money stops being something you chase 04:30 – JP's origin story 09:00 – Why no one teaches us what winning actually looks like 14:00 – The four dimensions of Fulfillionaire wealth 21:00 – Hope and pray strategy and speculative risk 26:30 – Active vs. passive income explained 32:00 – What passive cash flow looks like in practice 39:00 – The scarcity paradox and the Giving Pledge 46:00 – Lakshmi and the Vedic view of abundance 51:00 – Emily's $1.1 million discovery 57:00 – The identity shift from scarcity to stewardship 01:04:00 – The eight levels of giving 01:11:00 – Why Fulfillionaire became a nonprofit 01:17:00 – Teaching kids about money at age six 01:24:00 – Why isn't everyone becoming a Fulfillionaire? About JP Newman JP Newman is an investor, entrepreneur, and founder of Fulfillionaire, a nonprofit dedicated to financial literacy and multidimensional wealth. He works with individuals at every stage of their financial journey to help them find their freedom number, build passive income, and create a life where money flows from wholeness rather than fear.

En nepalesisk pige på 13 år bor i bjergene med sin familie, der i desperation må sende hende hjemmefra for at arbejde. Optimismen er stor, da Lakshmi rejser til Indien, indtil hun opdager sin skæbne: Her bliver hun solgt til prostitution... Det er plottet i den mest forbudte bog i USA i 2025, 'Sold' af Patricia McCormick. Vi undersøger dens kontroversielle karakter. Og så ser vi nærmere på den algeriske forfatter, Kamel Daoud, der efter eget udsagn er idømt 3 års fængsel in absentia for en anden roman, der her har vakt furore i Algeriet. På programmet er også Københavns boldklubs omdiskuterede jubilæum og 'looksmaxxing' på højrefløjen. Medvirkende: Mia Rendix, ph.d. og litteraturforsker ved hhv. Københavns og Stockholms Universitet.

“The Deities of Radha and Krishna, Lakshmi and Narayana, and Rama and Sita are very attractive to devotees, so much so that when they see the statue decorated in the temple of the Lord they become fully absorbed in thought of the Lord. That is the state of liberation.” (Shrila Prabhupada, Shrimad Bhagavatam, 3.25.36 Purport)

In my interview with SŪNNA (Listen) writer and director Radha Mehta, she shared her journey from being a civil engineer, to artist and filmmaker, and how this short about Lakshmi (Aaliya Mehta) a young traditional Indian musician losing her hearing, is inspired by Rahda's own lived experiences and journey.SŪNNA also stars award-winning stage performer and musician Anisha Nagarajan as Lakshmi's mother, Savita.Visit https://www.radhamehta.com/ to see some of Radha's art work and information about her other short films.Find me on Social Media at: @CarrieCnh12To donate to my work, fund can be given through paypal.com/paypalme/carolynhinds0525My Social Media hashtags are: #CarolynTalks #DramasWithCarrie #SaturdayNightSciFi #SHWH #KCrushVisit Authory.com/CarolynHinds to find links to all of my published film festival coverage, writing, YouTube and other podcasts So Here's What Happened!, and Beyond The Romance.

Many people first came to know Padma Lakshmi during her 19-season tenure as host of Top Chef, but now she's returning to the world of competition cooking shows as the the host, creator, and executive producer of America's Culinary Cup. The new CBS series features some of the biggest names in the food industry and boasts the largest monetary prize awarded in culinary competition show history. Today on Nice Talk, Lakshmi discusses how the one-million-dollar prize pot came to be, what it's like to create a show from scratch, and how she approaches getting dressed for on-screen appearances. Plus, she shares her dinner party hosting tips and her favorite restaurants in New York.

I've been broke. Sharing-a-can-of-tuna-with-my-cat broke. So I'm not coming at this from some high horse — I've been in it. But here's what I've learned since then: most of the time, we're not actually broke. We just feel broke. And that feeling? It's running the whole show. In this episode I'm talking about how your energy and your frequency around money shape what comes to you, what a craps table in Vegas taught me about choosing the right vibe, and a stat about income that might genuinely change the way you carry yourself today. We're also doing a guided meditation together calling on Lakshmi, the goddess of abundance — because sometimes you just need to sit still and remember what you already have.

Eighty years after Indian independence, the economic fingerprint of British colonial rule is still visible at the district level. Two institutions in particular left scars: whether a district was governed directly by British administrators or by one of India's roughly 680 Indian princes, and what kind of land tax arrangement the British put in place. For example, by 1991, directly ruled districts had nine percentage points fewer middle schools and a 20-percentage-point lower probability of having a road than areas under indirect rule. The question was whether those gaps would eventually close.Lakshmi Iyer of the University of Notre Dame tells Tim Phillips that by 2011 infrastructure gaps had closed completely. Targeted post-independence programmes, including the Minimum Needs Program of the 1970s and the Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan of 2001, pushed schools, health centres, and roads towards underserved districts. The picture for land tenure is mixed. Areas that historically had landlord-based systems are still 17% behind non-landlord areas in wheat yields, and the gap in fertiliser use has widened rather than narrowed. One reason, the policy response was a universal subsidy rather than being specifically aimed at places that had fallen behind.So colonial legacies can be erased, but only by policies designed to reach the places that were left behind. When policies have equalisation built in, historical gaps disappear. When they do not, the gaps persist.The research behind this episode:Iyer, Lakshmi and Coleson Weir. 2025.

I met Sadhvi Saraswati at Mindvalley in Amsterdam this summer and I knew I had to bring her on the podcast. She grew up in Hollywood, went to Stanford, was in the middle of a PhD program and then one moment on the banks of the Ganga in Rishikesh changed everything. She never went back.   Now she is the co-founder of the Ganga Aarti, the largest daily spiritual ritual on the sacred Ganges River, she speaks at the UN about women's rights and spirituality, and she is one of the most grounded and luminous teachers I have ever sat with.   This conversation went everywhere. From what Sanatana Dharma actually is and why it is for all of us, to cultural appropriation, to the very real and very personal question of how do we keep our hearts open to sacred love in a world that feels so hard to love in right now.   In this episode we explore:

In this episode of 10X Growth Strategies, host Arthi Vijayaraghavan sits down with Lakshmi Nair — drug development scientist and genetic engineering researcher — to unpack the science, promise, and responsibility behind CRISPR and gene editing. Drawing from her journey across academia and biomedical research, Lakshmi explains how CRISPR transformed genetic engineering from slow, uncertain experimentation into precise DNA editing — and why that leap could reshape medicine, cancer treatment, and hereditary disease forever. From transgenic models and drug development to the realities of scientific failure and perseverance, the conversation reveals what modern biomedical innovation truly looks like behind the scenes. The episode explores the ethical frontier of gene editing — germline modification, designer traits, disability vs identity, and who gets to decide what should be “fixed” in humans. The discussion also connects CRISPR with AI-driven research, data-intensive clinical trials, and the global scientific ecosystem that turns basic research into life-saving therapies. From biohacking and scientific curiosity to regulation, responsibility, and the future of humanity, this is a thoughtful, deeply grounded conversation on what it means to hold the power to rewrite life itself. A fascinating listen for technologists, policymakers, investors, and anyone curious about where biology, AI, and human evolution intersect. ⸻ 00:00 – Introduction & Lakshmi's Background 02:00 – Why CRISPR Changed Genetic Engineering 06:00 – Scientific Journeys, Curiosity & Upbringing 12:00 – CRISPR Explained for Non-Biologists 18:30 – Medical Applications: Cancer & Genetic Disease 23:30 – Scientific Collaboration & Peer Review 26:30 – Biohacking & Democratizing Biology 30:00 – Gene Editing Ethics & Germline Debate 36:00 – Identity, Disability & Human Choice 40:00 – From Lab Research to Drug Development 45:00 – AI in Clinical Trials & Biomedical Data 50:00 – Future of Gene Editing & Responsibility 54:00 – Closing Reflections

Lakshmi, usually seen as wealth of diamonds, gold, and pearls is also the riches of the Earth - minerals, metals, food, wood, and clay. She is our home. She is all our resources, and she is resourceful. She is the wealth of love that enriches our lives, and also the inner wealth of virtues and good character. She is all things we treasure.  She is in you. She is in me. She is in the world we see. Lakshmi is in the potency by which we make things happen, our efficiency in action, our ease that comes with experience. But mostly, we see her in our acts of charity and altruism. She is also the sparkle of contentment, carefreeness, security and happiness in our eyes. We are constantly looking for wealth, maybe forgetting how much of it we already have.   

Lakshmi is a long time homeopath and a forever student, exploring all the ways that we can go deeper into ourselves and what this means for healing.  In this podcast, Sarah and lakshmi discuss deep spiritual practices alongside the role of homeopathy and with a wealth of learning and spiritual adventures, Lakshmi is an excellent practitioner to help others navigate this space.   Lakshmi is a practitioner in Sarah's clinic in Australia and also a coach and guide to many clients. https://thefamilyapothecary.com.au/about/#consultants-and-feeshttps://pranaforyou.com.au/

Today, Theresa and Jennifer are discussing the Year of the Fire Horse and what that might mean for how we move through the year. First, what are we hearing and feeling about the Fire Horse? High-energy, sometimes chaotic, transformation, bold changes, breaking old patterns... It's an excellent time for self care and community care and maybe incorporating some white or blue into your life to balance the fiery red.How may we choose to show up in a big collective community care way? Protesting, activism, nonviolence. Erica Chenoweth is someone Theresa refers to when thinking about countering the violence with non-violence. We discuss what makes a successful nonviolent movement: 1. the ability to organize large scale participation and build momentum, 2. ability to illicit loyaltyships in key pillars of support. 3. maintain resilience even under violence. 4. innovate beyond street demonstrations.Playbook of every successful non-violent struggle.Jennifer think about the different roles we might play when engaged in a movement as outlined in the Social Change Ecosystem Map. And is inspired by the wisdom shared by Valerie Kaur  and her philosophy on Revolutionary Love: Three Different Tenets to it. Loving Self, Love for Others, Love for your Opponents.Want some inspiration for taking Anti-ICE action:https://www.thenation.com/article/activism/ice-businesses-boycott-campaign/From Pat Ryan's Office: Please complete his quick survey here to tell him your thoughts about stopping ICE from opening a new detention facility in our home of the Hudson Valley.Anyone thinking Tax Strike?

In this episode, we tell the story of the Rani of the Jhansi Regiment, the first all-female combat unit in modern Indian history, formed in Singapore during World War II and led by Dr Lakshmi Sahgal, known as Captain Lakshmi.Most of its members were teenage Tamil girls from plantation communities in Malaya and Burma, many with little formal education, who left estate life to train as soldiers in the Indian National Army. We trace how they were recruited, trained, deployed to the Burma front, and forced into retreat as the war turned against Japan and the INA.Although the regiment never fought a major battle, its legacy reshaped ideas about women's roles in anti-colonial struggle and military service. Drawing on historical research and oral histories, this episode explores how nationalism, class, gender, and war collided in Southeast Asia, and how ordinary young women briefly became part of a global conflict and a revolutionary movement.Hosted by Agas Ramirez.Full script and bonus episodes available on Patreon.All links available here.Audio ClipsWildFilmsIndia - Laxmi Sehgal of the INA on The Forgotten Army ExpeditionDoordarshan National - Speech of Netaji Subhas Chandra BoseInterkast - शुभ सुख चैन की/Subh Sukh Chain Ki - With Auspicious Happiness | Anthem of Free IndiaYouTube Free Audio ClipsTheme Music - Goddess of War - Unicorn HeadsJourney Home - Chris Haugen

In this episode, we're diving deep into how your spirit guides are actually assigned to you, and it's completely in alignment with your Divine Plan. Your spirit guides aren't just floating in and out of your life, they're here with a sacred purpose. Some have been with you for lifetimes. Others arrive during soul activations, spiritual initiations, or major life shifts. And yes… you chose many of them in collaboration with your higher self and Council of Light before you incarnated. In this session, I'll walk you through how spirit guides are selected based on your soul blueprint, purpose, and karmic lessons. We explore primary guides, phase-based guides, ancestral support, and even “divine plan adjusters” who step in when life takes a detour (or quantum leap!). What We Cover Understand how spirit guides are assigned pre-birth in collaboration with your Council of Light to support your soul mission and karmic lessons. Learn the difference between primary guides (who stay with you for life) and phase-based guides who appear during key soul shifts and activations. Discover why your soul chooses your personality, path, and gifts, before incarnation, and how your guides are matched accordingly. Explore the roles of ancestral guides, angelic beings, cosmic support, and divine deities like Isis or Lakshmi in your spiritual team. Find out what happens when you deviate from your soul path, and how “divine plan adjuster” guides intervene to realign you. Get clear on the impact of free will on your soul plan and why asking for divine interference can quantum leap you back into alignment. Learn how to consciously choose and call in guides to support your next level of expansion, healing, or service. ✨ Whether you've felt disconnected from your spiritual team or you're ready to deepen your relationship with them, this episode will help you understand how supported you truly are, and how to consciously call in more guidance, love, and alignment.

This week, our guest is Padma Lakshmi. As host of shows like Taste the Nation and Top Chef, Lakshmi champions cooks and eaters from across cultures. She's the author of several cookbooks –  including her newest, Padma's All American: Tales, Travels, and Recipes from Taste the Nation and Beyond – and the memoir Love Loss and What We Ate. Lakshmi's passion for social justice causes, as well as her deep appreciation for food, are both reflected in her active social media presence. On November 17, 2025, Lakshmi came to the Sydney Goldstein Theater in San Francisco to talk – and laugh – with comedian and broadcaster W. Kamau Bell.

Sita, the heroine of the Hindu epic Ramayana and a divine feminine avatar of Lakshmi, is often misunderstood. She is praised for her patience, remembered for her suffering, but rarely honored for her sovereign choices, her hidden fire, her radical return to Self. In this extraordinary episode, Acharya Shunya brings together the creators of Sitayana—a groundbreaking audio retelling of the Ramayana through Sita's eyes. Together with producer Michael Sternfeld, devotional artist Nina Rao, mystic Mirabai Starr, and author Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni, she explores exile, dharma, silence, devotion, and the moment when Sita says no… and returns to the Earth. Includes a stirring passage from "Sita Returns to Mother Earth" and a devotional song offered by Nina Rao to invoke her presence through sacred sound.

Esse mês eu vou trazer 9 livros que vão levar vcs a um passeio por aspectos de algumas das religiões com mais praticantes no mundo e no Brasil: catolicismo, protestantismo (evangélicos), judaísmo, islamismo, hinduísmo, budismo, espiritismo, além das religiões afro-brasileiras candomblé e umbanda. Atualmente, mais do que nunca, o mundo precisa de tolerância, empatia e respeito a diversidade religiosa. Hoje nosso passeio pelas religiões do mundo aterrissa no hinduismo, a terceira maior religião do mundo, com o livro "My Bindi", ou "Meu Bindi", escrito por Gita Varadarajan, ilustrado por Archana Sreenivasan e não publicado no Brasil, por isso eu traduzi e adaptei especialmente pra esse episodio. Divya tem medo de colocar o bindi pela primeira vez. E se ela for ridicularizada? Como será essa sensação? Mas Amma garante que o bindi lhe trará proteção. Depois de procurar na caixa especial de Amma o bindi perfeito para colocar, Divya se olha no espelho e descobre um novo lado de si mesma, o que lhe dá força.Para acompanhar a história juntamente com as ilustrações do livro, compre o livro aqui: ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://amzn.to/4rda7SZO bindi é um ponto de cor que se usa entre os olhos ou no centro da testa, especialmente entre os hindus, simbolizando o "terceiro olho" (chakra Ajna), o centro da sabedoria e intuição. Esse livro trouxe um aspecto do hinduismo, que é a principal religião na Índia e a terceira maior religião do mundo. Tem um sistema de crenças bastante diversificado, podendo ser considerado politeísta ou monoteísta dependendo de sua vertente. Os vedas são as principais escrituras do hinduísmo e são considerados os textos religiosos, ainda em uso, mais antigos. Brahma, Shiva, Vishnu, Ganesha, Lakshmi são alguns dos seus principais deuses. Fiquem ligados que daqui a 3 dias sai mais um episodio, dessa vez sobre o budismo, não percam! Se vc gostou, compartilhe com seus amigos e me siga nas redes sociais! ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/bookswelove_livrosqueamamos/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

Send us a texthttps://jilljardine.com/  Check out Jill's New Book:  Sacred Sound Formulas to Awaken the Modern Mind: Sanskrit Mantras to Raise Your VibrationIn this episode Jill reads more from the introduction of Sacred Sound Formula's to Awaken the Modern Mind.  She also shares the Chapter on the Lakshmi Principle- Prosperity. Money is energy, but not in a vague way. We unpack prosperity as a measurable shift in frequency that shapes choices, timing, and the opportunities that appear when your inner field steadies. Drawing from our new book, Sacred Sound Formulas to Awaken the Modern Mind, we walk through Lakshmi's grace-filled current, Kubera's protective wealth codes, and a practical method for clearing scarcity at its roots. If you've felt stuck—undercharging, hesitating to ask, or cycling through feast and famine—this conversation gives you tools that work in the real world.We explore Lakshmi beyond the bank account: harmony in health, relationships, and the mood of the home. You'll hear how simple rituals—light, flowers, Friday practice—train attention toward order and beauty, creating conditions for flow. Then we get specific. Om Shrim Maha Lakshmiyai Namaha builds a steady base of abundance, Om Suvarna Daye Namaha invites “golden” cash momentum, and Om Shrim Kleem Namah Shivaya blends Shiva consciousness with Shakti magnetism for career pivots and bold moves. For rapid traction and client flow, we add Kubera codes: Hasaka La I La Rim and Om Sham Kuberaya Namaha—precision practices people use to clear invoices, fill calendars, and stabilize revenue.This isn't superstition; it's a system. Pair daily chanting with wealth hygiene: a 40-day commitment, 108 repetitions, clear pricing, clean offers, and weekly money dates. We also address mindset repair—therapy or coaching where needed—so your nervous system can actually receive. Expect grounded stories, practical steps, and a reminder that generosity and gratitude are part of lasting prosperity. If you're ready to tune your frequency and move money with integrity, press play, commit to one mantra, and start measuring your results.

Padma Lakshmi is unquestionably a woman of taste. As a host of the beloved food-competition series “Top Chef” and the star of the culinary docuseries “Taste the Nation,” she's spent nearly two decades artfully conveying—and critiquing—flavors and aromas for an audience. Before that, she was a fashion writer and model, cultivating her own sense of what's worth wearing and seeing. And she isn't done evolving: she's recently begun performing standup comedy, an art form with a notoriously steep learning curve. In a live taping at The New Yorker Festival, Vinson Cunningham, Naomi Fry, and Alexandra Schwartz talk with Lakshmi about the difference between discernment and pickiness, how travel has expanded her taste, and her approach to rendering judgement on TV. “I see my job as helping,” Lakshmi says. “I see my job as being the person in the kitchen who's saying, ‘Does this need a little salt?' ”Read, watch, and listen with the critics:“Top Chef” (2006—)“Taste the Nation” (2020-23)“RuPaul's Drag Race” (2009—)“American Idol” (2002—)“Project Runway” (2004—)“Padma's All American,” by Padma Lakshmi“Padma Lakshmi Walks Into a Bar,” by Helen Rosner (The New Yorker)“Art in the Age of Artificial Intelligence” (The New Yorker)Dijon's “Baby”“Frankenstein” (2025)New episodes drop every Thursday.

In this luminous episode, Jennifer Urezzio sits with Dr. Lynn Anderson — naturopath, yoga & nutrition therapist, author, and longtime teacher — to explore how to outsmart your karma for prosperity. Dr. Lynn reframes karma away from moral judgment and into a clear, usable principle: cause and effect. She offers a practical prosperity map through the four gifts of Lakshmi — wealth, pleasure, harmony, and liberation — and reminds listeners that “wealth” can be anything that enriches you (health, voice, artistry), not only money. The conversation names the four great passions that trip us up — deceit, greed, anger, and pride — and centers awareness as the first, essential practice for transformation. Dr. Lynn and Jennifer walk listeners through embodied tools: cultivating internal dialogue with the soul, practicing breath and presence to step out of reactivity, using yoga and sensation to build awareness, and practicing trust as a lived muscle. Throughout, the invitation is to observe rather than judge, to convert thinking → speaking → doing into conscious karma, and to allow small daily acts to compound into real prosperity. Practical takeaways: Redefine prosperity daily by adding small acts of wealth, pleasure, harmony, and liberation. Notice bodily signals (anger, tightness) as the doorway to awareness — breathe, observe, release. Replace deceit with truth: start with honest internal dialogue and consistent small choices. Treat trust like a practice: build resilience from the inside so you can navigate the outer world. Learn more about Doctor Lynn at http://www.doctorlynn.com.

Padma Lakshmi's new cookbook, Padma's All American, is a natural extension of her Hulu series Taste the Nation. In fact, the documentary laid the groundwork for the book, says the former Top Chef host. “Once we had done the show, I had all these communities I had already embedded myself in,” she told Newsweek's H. Alan Scott. Beyond recipes, the book carries an important message: Lakshmi “was trying to...really highlight the positive effects of having all these contributions from immigrants.” For Lakshmi, the recipes are ultimately a vehicle for connection. “I am hoping that the food will entice you, will almost be like a bait to get closer to your neighbors. Hopefully you'll be curious enough to get to know the culture that the food came from and the people that are making this food.” Lakshmi returns to TV with the new CBS reality competition series America's Culinary Cup, where elite chefs compete for a major prize. “It doesn't look like any other TV set or studio I've ever seen.” Subscribe to my newsletter: https://link.newsweek.com/join/for-the-culture Follow me: https://linktr.ee/halanscott Subscribe to Newsweek's YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/newsweek See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

May you have the courage to stand in your own knowing.May you find the grace to let go of striving for perfection, and instead embrace the sacredness of your imperfect, human journey.May luminous moments of optimism and possibility guide you,even as you move through gray times of despair and doubt.May you have the wisdom to choose differently, to prioritize what truly matters,creating a legacy that lingers. May you always find solace in the holy ground beneath your feet,the sacred presence that dwells within and all around you.Shine your light, dear one,your small, precious gifts are needed in this world.Happy Spring Equinox! I hope you are enjoying a gentle leap into a new season. Our own weather has been erratic and wild, including nearby tornadoes that wreaked havoc on our town. And, then, today, as I work on the newsletter, sporadic power outages at our house cutting off my internet. As such, this newsletter will be a little shorter than usual with only a brief audio edition. I've gotten very off schedule this week! Our shop update today is an eclectic one, featuring assorted divine imperfections, “Luna” one-of-a-kind goddesses, and some red winged Nemesis goddesses (by customer request).We also still have assorted goddesses in our very special spring pigment—a beautiful lilac with small flowers. We are using this pigment to honor Áine, the Irish Fairy Queen, who is this year's featured goddess at Gaea Goddess Gathering. We do know that she is a summertime goddess, but we felt like this pigment was an excellent match for the spring equinox/Ostara and our month of Persephone as well, so we went forward with it!This week's magic:* 8 minute video: beholding delight.Resource Reminders:* New free series: An Introduction to Goddess Studies* 1. getting started* 2. printable journal* 3. affirmation card set* 4. portable altar space* 5. introduction to thealogy* 6. influential authors in goddess studies* 7. audio retreat: spots of time (note: publishing Saturday)Blog Posts:* Ritual Reading for Spring Equinox (A Spring Ritual of Returning)* Clarity and the CrossroadsBeholding DelightReminder: Let us be open to delight.

David, Lakshmi, and Erin dig into the intersection of wealth, faith, and community, particularly from the standpoint of middle-class Christians. Sparked by Lakshmi's seminary research on Christian engagement with wealth accumulation in a neoliberal capitalist system, we explored theological and practical approaches to wealth: What does it mean to have or accumulate wealth? What are the impacts of capitalism? the role of intentional Christian communities? and the balance between personal finances and larger systemic (in)justice?

Episode 3054: Nir Eyal and Lakshmi Mani explore how the “peak-end rule” shapes our memories, influencing the way we evaluate experiences and make future decisions. By intentionally crafting memorable high points and thoughtful endings, we can improve everything from daily routines to product design and customer satisfaction. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://www.nirandfar.com/2018/04/peak-end-rule.html Quotes to ponder: "The peak-end rule states that people judge an experience largely based on how they felt at its peak and at its end, rather than the total sum or average of every moment of the experience." "In the case of experiences, we remember the highlight and the ending." "The memories we take away from an experience influence how we evaluate those experiences, and whether we want to repeat them."

Unlock the Power of Persuasion: Discover "The Elephant Persuasion Principle" Podcast! Ever wondered how to influence people effortlessly, build unbreakable trust, and close deals like a pro? Imagine having a memory as sharp as an elephant's—never forgetting a name, a face, or a crucial detail that seals the connection. Recall like an elephant and watch your relationships soar! Elephants aren't just massive; they're memory masters! With brains weighing a whopping 5 kg (11 lbs - they excel at recall for survival and social bonds. Think about Lakshmi, the elephant in India who, after years of abuse, retaliated against her tormentor in June 2024. It's a stark reminder: elephants remember pain, loyalty, and everything in between. Now, apply that to your life - remember names like an elephant and you'll persuade like never before! Why is remembering names a game-changing people skill? It shows respect and genuine interest, sparking trust and rapport. In business, it supercharges networking and leadership. Socially, it cements friendships and nails first impressions. A 2016 Journal of Social Psychology study proves it: using someone's name boosts your warmth and competence, making you instantly more likable. It's not just polite; it's persuasive 101! But what's happening in your brain? When you hear your name, your attention spikes (like "Great job, Sarah!"), the amygdala lights up with emotion, and the prefrontal cortex evaluates the feel-good factor. It personalizes interactions, validates feelings, and follows social norms that make folks like you more.  Here are two simple techniques: 1. Repeat and Use the Name Immediately: Say "Nice to meet you, Sarah!" and weave it in again: "So, Sarah, what's your story?" Repetition builds brain pathways, shifting names from your short-term memory to long-term recall. Example: At a networking bash, greet John with "John, awesome to connect - what's your passion, John?" Boom - name locked in! 2. Associate with a Visual Image: Link the name to a wild picture. For Rose, envision a Rose coming out of her ear. Your brain loves visuals, leveraging the hippocampus for recall.  Want more insights into recalling names, increasing recall and 4 other techniques to instantly connect to anyone. Tune into The Elephant Principle Of Persuasion Podcast. Whether you're in sales, leadership, or just want to ace social scenes, this podcast turns you into a persuasion powerhouse.
