Podcasts about Pilgrimage

This week, Judaism Unbound is thrilled to feature the 3rd episode of Door to Door: A Pilgrimage Across Generations -- another podcast in Judaism Unbound's family of podcasts! ------------------------- Head to JudaismUnbound.com/classes to check out our up upcoming courses in the UnYeshiva! This time around we are offering courses on an Intro to Judaism (Judaism Inbound), the book of Genesis, the Magic & Medicine of Psalms, Jews and Revolution, and a Jewish embrace of Fatness! -------------------------- Door to Door is a deeply personal, five-part podcast series tracing one Jewish family's multigenerational pilgrimage from a once-lost home in Wachenbuchen, Germany, to the present-day echoes of inherited memory, trauma, and resilience. Told through archival recordings, family reflections, and emotional returns to ancestral ground, this podcast chronicles the survival of Simon—a Holocaust survivor taken to Buchenwald Concentration Camp during Kristallnacht—and the generations that followed him. It's a story shaped by suffering, but defined by rebuilding, remembrance, and an enduring commitment to legacy. Door to Door invites listeners to witness what it means to reclaim identity from the wreckage—and to carry forward the names, the stories, and the truths nearly erased. If you've ever felt the weight of inherited memory, or the pull to understand where you come from — subscribe to Door to Door wherever you get your podcasts. Let this be part of your story, too. We'd love to hear from you, so you can email us at miriam@judaismunbound.com or find us at: www.judaismunbound.com/door-to-door

In this episode, Jenna and Beth reflect on Lent as a pilgrimage, not a performance. Together they explore what it means to “settle in” with the Lord, to pray like you would meet a friend for coffee, and to allow God to love every part of your story...even the parts you'd rather throw away. From learning how to be still, to noticing tension in our bodies, to encountering the Father who comes to meet us in the mud, this conversation is an invitation to walk with Jesus right where you are. If you feel like you don't know how to pray, if Lent feels confusing, or if you're discovering that becoming who God made you to be is a lifelong journey, you're in good company here. Wherever you are on the road, He is already with you.

Talk by HG Vishnugada Dasa: (0:00:0 -0:22:0) Talk by HG Vaisesika Dasa: (0:22:0- end) I was thinking about consistency in relationship to ants, and I noticed that in any discipline that I'm practicing, consistency is the key. For instance, I notice in writing that it's better if I have a daily approach. In fact, I got this advice from His Grace Bhūrijana Prabhu, who's an author. When I was writing my first book—or I should say, when I was not writing my first book—he called me over and he said, “Listen, I have some advice for you, kid. I will tell you what I am going to do for you.” He said, “Just write one sentence every day.” That changed my approach to writing because as soon as he said that, I thought, “Well, I can try to write one sentence a day.” When I started doing that, I realized his trick: I couldn't write just one sentence. I wrote a sentence, then I thought I would write one more, and then one more. Pretty soon, I noticed Nirākulā saying, “Where are you? You were supposed to be here half an hour ago! I told you prasādam was at nine o'clock!”—and look, she's laughing. I noticed that I had crossed over from taking the "consistent approach" (that's the topic) and I had slipped into absorption. Therefore, I took from the ants this mantra—and I thank them to this day—which is: “Don't let the trail go cold.” There's a way in which, as soon as you stop using a trail, it grows over again. In writing, I notice also that if I wait for even three days, then I can't remember where I finished. Even if I mark it copiously, I think, “Was it yellow or green that I was supposed to start with?” And if I wait three weeks or three months, then who knows what might happen? I might even forget where my computer is or how to turn it on! So, consistency is helpful. This concept comes into our practice in the song by Śrīnivāsa Ācārya: 'saṅkhyā-pūrvaka-nāma-gāna-natibhiḥ.' The very fact that Śrīnivāsa Ācārya mentions that the Goswāmīs counted their rounds, as well as other things, and that it was daily, what Prabhupāda called “numerical strength.” Another way of being consistent is to find a number that you'll never go lower than, in whatever you do. Oftentimes, people are starting to chant and they wonder, “How will I get to 16 rounds?” One of the ways is to pick a number that you will not neglect to do. Even if there's a flood, a national emergency, or a personal emergency, you'll keep that number and never decrease. Another thought I had—and I forget where I got it—was: you'll never be thrown off the bus, so don't get off the bus yourself. Nobody kicks you off the bus of chanting or bhakti, so we shouldn't step off. There is a slight caveat: it's important to not be offensive, because if we are offensive, we won't feel like chanting. You just lose your taste for it.

A single pasuk sparks a revolution: “Build Me a sanctuary so I may dwell among them.” We take that line seriously and ask sharper questions. What does it mean to build a house for the unhousable? Why did the Torah devote so much space to the Mishkan, the Beis HaMikdash, and the avodah? And most importantly, what does the mitzvah do to us?We explore the bigger picture with clear steps. First, the mandate and its scope: an unexpected portion of the 613 mitzvos revolves around the Temple, from offerings to purity laws to vessels. Then, the two main purposes highlighted by the Sefer HaChinuch: centralizing korbanos and uniting the nation through Aliyah L'Regel. We trace the story from Betzalel's portable Mishkan to Solomon's grandeur and the rebuilt Second Temple, anchoring it all in Jerusalem's permanent location. We also examine the classic debate on the future: Rambam's human-led construction under Mashiach versus Rashi and Tosafot's vision of a heavenly structure descending in fire.But the core of our discussion is the why. Using the Sefer HaChinuch and Ramban, we consider the Temple as a training ground where action shapes the soul. Pilgrimage becomes a form of education: long journeys, guarded gates, rising smoke, and hands on the offering—all designed to transform regret into renewal. We challenge a countercultural idea: mitzvos are the workout of the spirit, a precise regimen you can't outsource. Replace, don't repair, in a house of dignity; do, don't just study, when growth needs effort; and embrace the friction that shapes you—yes, even in the humble choice to hand-wrap mishloach manos rather than swipe a card.If you've ever wondered when we can rebuild, who must be present in the Land, what counts as “building,” or how the Ark fits into it all, this episode guides you through sources, history, and lived practice in one clear path. Listen, reflect, and then choose one mitzvah to “lift” with intention this week. If this resonated, subscribe, share with a friend, and leave a review—what part of the Temple's purpose most surprised you?Support the showJoin The Motivation Congregation WhatsApp community for daily motivational Torah content!------------------Check out our other Torah Podcasts and content!

Śukadeva Gosvāmī continued: My dear King, the chanting of the holy name of the Lord is able to uproot even the reactions of the greatest sins. Therefore the chanting of the saṅkīrtana movement is the most auspicious activity in the entire universe.

WHAT DO THE CAMINO AND THE KUMANO KODO PILGRIMAGES HAVE IN COMMON? Let's find out! If you are looking for your next big trip and you love the spiritual practice of pilgrimage, then you are going to love this episode of the podcast. But it's not about the Camino, per se. It's Camino-adjacent, but about something that, turns out, is totally different. Chris from episode 142 is back! It feels like the blink of an eye since I talked with Chris the last time, but in the interim, he has completed the Kumano Kodo pilgrimage in Japan, which is no small thing. So we are going to be taking a look at the similarities and differences between the Camino and the Kumano Kodo through the lens of pilgrimage. Here is some information about this pilgrimage: https://www.kumano-travel.com/en https://www.tb-kumano.jp/en/kumano-kodo/    #youonthecamino #caminodesantiago #firsttimepilgrim #thecaminoexperience #caminopodcast

When Caitanya Mahāprabhu was teaching about devotional service, he presented 64 items. One of them is chanting Hare Kṛṣṇa; another is associating with devotees; and others are living in a holy Dhāma, reading Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam, and worshiping the Deity. He said that of all the 64, these five are so potent that even if you have a little connection with them, you'll make advancement in devotional service. And so, this "coming to the Dhāma" is noticeably prominent in his Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu's teachings, of course, he said you should always live in the Dhāma—but if you can't be there physically, you should be there in your mind and heart. But how will you develop such a connection unless you come here? That's why we're here. So, in great humility, we enter this holy place. I offer my respectful obeisances to His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupāda, who introduced this Dhāma to us, as well as all the other aspects of devotional service. Not only did he introduce it, but he keeps introducing it to us through his books and through all his lectures, teachings—and also by the example he set by inviting his whole international society to come every year. Of course, there were fewer devotees at that time, but I think the invitation still holds. He relished seeing all of his fledgling disciples from various parts of the world—some of them freezing cold, others from places where no one had ever heard "Hare Kṛṣṇa"—coming into the Dhāma together: Māyāpur, Vṛndāvana, and sometimes Purī. So, we offer our respectful obeisances to Śrīla Prabhupāda and beg his permission to be in this Dhāma for a week, and to hear and chant together. While we are here as travelers—because you've already noticed—"travel" comes from the word travail. If you follow the etymology, everyone knows travail means an extreme of discomfort, but it also traces back to an instrument of torture. But it's not torture when we know we are coming to the Dhāma. Just going through security is kind of like a preparation for leaving this world: "And what do you still have on you, buddy? We'll go through it and look." We can't hide anything in this world. It all goes through an X-ray machine and a pat-down somewhere. It is best if we dispense of the useless things that we're carrying around with us before we get to the final security checkpoint. This is a good place to do it. Not that we come here just to leave our troubles or sins, but naturally, when we come here in a mood of service, we'll find that whatever material aspirations we have can be transformed into aspirations for serving Kṛṣṇa. After all, that's what's permanent. ------------------------------------------------------------ To connect with His Grace Vaiśeṣika Dāsa, please visit https://www.fanthespark.com/next-steps/ask-vaisesika-dasa/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=video&utm_campaign=launch2025 https://vaisesikadasayatra.blogspot.com/ ------------------------------------------------------------ Add to your wisdom literature collection: https://iskconsv.com/book-store/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=video&utm_campaign=launch2025 https://www.bbtacademic.com/books/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=video&utm_campaign=launch2025 https://thefourquestionsbook.com/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=video&utm_campaign=launch2025 ------------------------------------------------------------ Join us live on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/FanTheSpark/ Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/sound-bhakti/id1132423868 For the latest videos, subscribe https://www.youtube.com/@FanTheSpark For the latest in SoundCloud: https://soundcloud.com/fan-the-spark ------------------------------------------------------------ #spiritualawakening #soul #spiritualexperience #spiritualpurposeoflife #spiritualgrowthlessons #secretsofspirituality #vaisesikaprabhu #vaisesikadasa #vaisesikaprabhulectures #spirituality #bhaktiyoga #krishna #spiritualpurposeoflife #krishnaspirituality #spiritu

In this week's episode Rabbi Kohn discusses how the Torah's commandments on civil laws and specifically the laws regarding damages are not just about financial compensation. He points out how the Torah sets up a system where we can learn to be more caring people by being careful with the property of others. He also speaks about the prohibition of causing pain to a widow and orphan and how that can take differet forms. Subscribe to The Practical Parsha Podcast. For questions or comments please email RabbiShlomoKohn@gmail.com.

What happens when we listen to a call we don't fully understand?In this first interview episode of Room to Evolve, Jessica Goulding sits down with Jill Geoffrion, one of the world's leading voices on labyrinth prayer, pilgrimage, and Chartres Cathedral. Together, they explore pilgrimage not as tourism, but as transformation—an outer journey with an inner purpose.Jill shares her origin story: how a simple paper labyrinth traced with her finger revealed her life story back to her, and how that moment led her into decades of walking, studying, and teaching labyrinth prayer across the world. From Chartres to the Camino, from sacred geometry to modern thresholds, this conversation gently unfolds what it means to say yes to a call—especially when we don't yet know where it leads.You'll hear reflections on:What defines a pilgrimage (and what doesn't)Why the labyrinth is a practice of trust and surrenderChartres Cathedral as a “tuning fork” for the soulThreshold moments—when to step in, when to step outHospitality as a spiritual pathHow beauty itself becomes a form of prayerLiving at the threshold with love in uncertain timesThis episode is an invitation to slow down, listen deeply, and consider where your next threshold may be waiting.As you listen, notice:Is there a place, practice, or path that keeps calling you back?Where might you be standing at a threshold—ready, or almost ready, to step in?You don't need to know the destination.Sometimes, the pilgrimage begins the moment you say yes.Join Jessica and Jill October 3-10, 2026Hidden Things: Pilgrimage to Chartres Cathedralhttps://roomtoevolve.substack.com/p/goSubscribe and enjoy Room to Evolve: A spiritual sanctuary for pilgrims, seekers, mystics, and creatives to move, breathe, and walk together through the labyrinth of life. http://roomtoevolve.comJessica Goulding, C-IAYT, E-RYT500, Labyrinth FacilitatorJessica Goulding is a yoga therapist, labyrinth facilitator, and retreat leader—a pilgrim of the inner life whose teaching and writing accompany others through thresholds of change, weaving yoga, contemplation, and sacred practice.https://roomtoevolve.comSubscribe on Substack: https://substack.com/@roomtoevolve?The Rev.

Life often leaves us feeling spiritually lost and disconnected, like we're living in a desert. As believers, we are pilgrims on a journey toward spiritual growth, but this requires honest self-assessment of our spiritual condition. We must ask ourselves difficult questions about whether we're connected or isolated, authentic or fake, growing or stagnant. Modern culture's emphasis on instant gratification makes spiritual growth more challenging, as it requires patience and delayed rewards. Psalm 120 shows us that spiritual journeys often begin in distress, not comfort. The key is bringing our honest struggles to God in prayer, remembering His past faithfulness, and choosing to keep moving forward spiritually regardless of circumstances.

The ancient pilgrimage road, the road on which Jews, after purifying themselves at the Siloam spring pools, would ascend up to the Temple Mount 2,000 years ago, has now been opened to the general public after 13 years of excavations. Tour guide and archaeologist Danny “The Digger” Herman tells reporter Arieh O’Sullivan about the history of the road and what to expect to see in Jerusalem’s newest attraction.

From Astro Boy to Gundam to real-world robots like ASIMO and Pepper, Japan's fascination with robots runs deep. This week, the Krewe is joined by author, cultural commentator, & robot enthusiast Matt Alt to explore how robots became heroes instead of threats in Japanese pop culture and how those sci-fi dreams quietly shaped Japan's modern relationship with technology, AI, and everyday automation. From giant mecha and cyborg icons to robot cafés and beyond, we dig into why Japan seems so comfortable living alongside machines in an episode that's equal parts nostalgia, culture, and future tech.------ About the Krewe ------The Krewe of Japan Podcast is a weekly episodic podcast sponsored by the Japan Society of New Orleans.

Harrisburg is joining cities across the nation that are responding to recent events of violence and conflict. A Peace Pilgrimage is planned through the city this Wednesday, February 4th. We have a deep dive conversation with one of the organizers, Pastor Matthew Best of Harrisburg's Christ Lutheran Church. He explains how the public can participate, how he defines “peace,” and why event organizers deliberately did not include the state Capitol as a location. Governor Josh Shapiro is expected to address housing costs, energy demand, and unfinished business from prior years, when he delivers his budget address Tuesday. Lancaster County's Conestoga River is named Pennsylvania's River of the Year. And tens of thousands of people gathered for Punxsutawney Phil's annual appearance Tuesday morning, dubbed Groundhog Day.

If you're a worship leader, you plan services. It comes with the territory. It's part of the job. Most of the time, that comes down to picking songs. But what are we missing in our churches when service planning, programming, and worship leading is reduced to merely picking songs? W. David O. Taylor is Associate Professor of Theology & Culture at Fuller Theological Seminary as well as the director of various initiatives in worship, theology and the arts. He teaches courses in systematic theology, art and worship, art and theology, art and beauty, spiritual formation through the psalms, and theology and science fiction. He is the author of the books Glimpses of The New Creation, Prayers for the Pilgrimage, A Body of Praise, Open & Unafraid, as well as the upcoming book To Set the World Aflame: How Artists Bear Witness to the Fullness of God's Creation. David is a deep well of wisdom when it comes to worship and the arts. What I love about this conversation is he helps us see more expansive view of what worship is and can be in the church. We discuss why artists are necessary and how they help us see more of God. The value of silence in our gatherings. The kinds of songs we need to be singing today. Why the predominant worship model today isn't wrong, but inadequate. You can reach me anytime at david@beyondsundayworship.com. Thank you for listening. Topics Covered: The difference between formation and experience in worship Why our current model of worship experiences isn’t wrong, but inadequate The value of silence in our gatherings Why we need artists in the church Creative ways to introduce silence, reflection, and community in our worship spaces The kinds of songs the church needs to be singing today Resources Mentioned: Show Sponsor: Planning Center Glimpses of the New Creation by W. David O. Taylor Show Sponsor: This episode is sponsored by Planning Center, an all-in-one church management software made to help churches help people. You can organize your ministries and keep everyone on your team communicating and aligned around what's going on. As a worship leader, good communication is key to building a strong worship team. You can cultivate relationships while ensuring everyone has what they need to successfully prep for your services. But why not take it up a notch using the chat feature? Built right into the Services mobile app—which, by the way, you should totally download if you haven't already—chat helps you coordinate all the service details with your team. Plus, you can have fun while doing it! No more juggling emails, group texts, and multiple apps to ensure your whole team is aligned. Chat will simplify your communication in one convenient place through the Services mobile app. And everyone can ask questions, request prayer, or join the banter in real-time with one another. The really cool part about chatting with your teams? Team members are dynamically added or removed from conversations as availability changes! So if your original bass player suddenly declines (why is it so hard to find a bass player, anyway?), your newly scheduled bass player is automatically added to the chat conversation. All of your chat conversations stay in sync. No more outdated group threads or irrelevant messages! So what are you waiting for? Download the Services app and start chatting!

As global uncertainty hums in the background, this moment in history feels both fragile and purposeful. Moving between history, theology, and lived experience, Raghunath and Kaustubha reflect on pilgrimage, mercy, and the distinct generosity of Śrī Caitanya's path. Broadcast from Śrīdhāma Māyāpur,  they explore how bhakti continues to shape culture in India and beyond and why spiritual emotion often arises not from sentimentality, but from a sudden recognition of the gift one has received. ******************************************************************** LOVE THE PODCAST?

In this episode, we introduce our new series on “Marxism and Religion.” At political, social, and spiritual levels, the series explores this complicated relationship for a transitioning age. We start with Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., who is a political and spiritual beacon for many of us and a democratic socialist by another name. Our discussion explores how MLK Jr. continues to shine light on the righteous path to liberation. leftofphilosophy.com | @leftofphil | @leftofphilosophy.bsky.socialReferences:Martin Luther King, Jr., “Pilgrimage to Non-Violence”: https://www.gandhiashramsevagram.org/gandhi-articles/pilgrimage-to-nonviolence.phpMartin Luther King, Jr., “Letter From a Birmingham Jail”: https://nul.org/news/letter-birmingham-jailMartin Luther King, Jr., “Loving Your Enemies”:https://kinginstitute.stanford.edu/king-papers/documents/loving-your-enemies-sermon-delivered-dexter-avenue-baptist-churchMartin Luther King, Jr., “All Labor Has Dignity”:https://truthout.org/articles/martin-luther-king-jr-all-labor-has-dignity/Martin Luther King, Jr., “Where Do We Go From Here?”:https://kinginstitute.stanford.edu/where-do-we-go-hereMusic:“Vintage Memories” by Schematist | schematist.bandcamp.com“My Space” by Overu | https://get.slip.stream/KqmvAN
