In this masterpiece, Maharishikaa deconstructs traditional approaches to neo advaita, non duality, spiritual awakening, and surrender, bringing clarity to Christina and Peter as they grapple with their respective dilemmas. While Christina struggles with the contradiction between surrender and the premise “I am the Soul,” Peter seeks to understand the connection between surrender and karma (action). Guiding Christina through the logical flaws inherent in a spiritual practice dominated by the statement, “I am That,” Maharishikaa explains that the very act of making such a declaration proves the existence and role of the body. She attributes identification with cosmic Soul—‘That'—to transcendental experiences that arose during the post-Vedic spiritual explorations of the cosmos, which influenced the philosophy of enlightenment and led seekers to experience a loss of personal identity. Ushering in a groundbreaking perspective, Maharishikaa unveils a radically new practice, revealing that the future of spirituality lies in This-ness. She explains that this practice begins by acknowledging, “I am This,” and embracing everything the body is and does. The ‘I,' now rooted in grounded identity, surrenders to the Soul within. Maharishikaa brilliantly illustrates the duality in surrender through the Leela—the divine dance—between Radha and Krishna (the seeker and the sought), where one surrenders to the other. This sacred play would cease to exist under the premise, “I am the Soul.” She invites Christina to reflect: if she identifies with the Soul, how does surrender come into play, and what is the purpose of embodiment? Compassionately addressing Christina's realization that her prior concepts and practices no longer align, Maharishikaa guides her toward true surrender, which ultimately leads to discovering the Soul within. Addressing Peter's perception of surrender as non-action, Maharishikaa explains that surrender is rooted in action. Peter, as the ‘I,' actively bends in surrender to the Soul, especially in moments when the ego seeks control. The more he acts based on the Soul's Impulse, the more joy he experiences; the more he resists the Truth, the more suffering he experiences.  Maharishikaa unmasks the origin of the pride Peter frequently experiences—uncertainty stemming from fear. She propounds that fear dissipates when one is connected with the Truth. She urges him to take up this practice of surrender and discernment, approaching it with love, yearning for Truth, and the intent to be its instrument. Maharishikaa assures him that as he surrenders to the Truth, he will experience profound joy. #Maharishikaa #NeoAdvaita #NonDuality #Enlightenment #Philosophy #IAmThis Aaryaa Maharishikaa Preeti Maiyaa, is a revolutionary female mystic who fearlessly dares to demystify spirituality in her unrelenting call to realize Self, and act from Source.

If one is captivated by the pleasing pastimes of Lord Caitanya, the dirty things in his heart will all become cleansed. 2) One who simply takes the holy name of Gaura-sundara, Sri Krsna Caitanya, will immediately develop love of God. To such a person I say: Bravo! Very nice! Excellent! If one appreciates the merciful pastimes of Lord Caitanya and feels ecstasy and sometimes cries, this process will immediately help him to understand the eternal pastimes of Radha-Krsna. 3) Simply by understanding that the associates of Lord Gauranga are eternally free from material contamination, one can immediately be promoted to the transcendental abode of Lord Krsna. If one simply understands that the land of Navadvipa is not different from Vrndavana, then he actually lives in Vrndavana. 4) If one says: "Let me dive deep into the waves of the nectarean ocean of the transcendental loving movement introduced by Lord Caitanya", he immediately becomes one of the confidential devotees of Radha and Krsna. It does not matter whether one is a householder living at home or a vanaprastha or sannyasi living in the forest, if he chants "O Gauranga, and becomes a devotee of Lord Caitanya, then Narottama dasa begs to have his association.

On today's episode, we're delving into the growing epidemic of loneliness, examining its root causes, far-reaching impacts, and what it will take to rebuild our social fabric. For this important and timely conversation, we were thrilled to be joined by Radha Agrawal, author of the bestselling book Belong: Find Your People, Create Community & Live a More Connected Life. Radha is also the Co-founder, CEO, and Chief Community Architect of Daybreaker, a global wellness movement that brings nearly half a million people together globally through early-morning, sober dance parties. In addition, Radha leads the Belong Institute and the Belong Center, two groundbreaking initiatives dedicated to addressing loneliness through community-building and laying the foundation for a wider culture of belonging.Throughout this conversation, we explore the essential human need for connection, the dangers of hyper-individualism, and how modern life, including our increasing disconnection from nature, has contributed to widespread feelings of alienation. Radha shares powerful insights on how rebuilding community and reestablishing our relationship with the natural world can help us reclaim joy, purpose, and a true sense of belonging.

Gayatri Kalyanaraman is in conversation with Sunil (SKG) Gupta, Senior Director in Cognizant and author of the book “Unlock Yourself” about creating a purpose led and fun filled life — a seasoned corporate leader with over three decades of experience spanning supply chain, IT-BPM, SaaS platforms, and now, marketing and influencer relations at Cognizant.Some highlights from the conversation has two major parts A Career Built on Transitions and Reinvention and making of the authorSunil started his career in the early 1990s in procurement, choosing the lesser-known path at a time when everyone else was aiming for sales, marketing, or R&D. His instinct for building structured systems began even then.By the late 90s, he was part of one of India's earliest experiments with reverse auctions and e-procurement, trained on platforms like Ariba before they became mainstream — gaining domain expertise that would shape the next phase of his career.Sunil joined the IT-BPM world in 1999, sparked by a newspaper ad that challenged readers to rethink their role during the Internet boom. From there, he helped set up B2B digital platforms across multiple sectors, including food and manufacturing.One of his standout projects was setting up a fully hosted commodity futures exchange, offering not just software but an end-to-end platform-as-a-service (long before SaaS became a buzzword).At Cognizant, Sunil spent over a decade building enterprise architecture and consulting practices, including growing a team of 300+ technology and business architects. He played a key role in setting up frameworks that bridged technology with real business impact.He later moved to the Philippines, taking on leadership roles in BPO services and transformation, and now works in marketing and analyst relations, helping position Cognizant's offerings with global firms like Gartner, Forrester, and IDC.The Making of an Author – Unlock Yourself:Sunil's book is a blend of personal introspection, professional learning, and tools for self-coaching.He introduces the RADHA framework – Reflect, Ask, Decide, Help, Act – to guide people through change and self-discovery.A strong advocate for neurodiversity and learning with compassion, Sunil discusses how society needs to reframe what “normal” means in both education and the workplace.His approach to writing and self-reflection was deeply influenced by the Theory of Constraints, coaching experiences, and even NFT community dynamics as an example of meaningful online engagement.Key Takeaway Moments:“Procurement taught me how systems work — and how people work within those systems.”“I realized I've always been in procurement… even when I didn't know it — we're all negotiating in life and work.”“My transition from technology to marketing feels as exciting as my first job — it's like starting fresh, but with wisdom in your backpack.”“Ask for help. Not because you're weak, but because you were never meant to do this alone.”A fresh take on fulfillment, success, and redefining “being number one”Sunil Gupta, also known as SKG, is a vibrant lifestyle step- up coach and a seasoned expert with over three decades in business strategy, program management, and corporate real estate. An IIT Kanpur alum, Sunil has enhanced his credentials with leadership programs from Symbiosis, Harvard Business Publishing, TinyMagiq, and SnehWorld. He volunteers with unicorn incubator IIT Startups and the Art of Living, Philippines. Sunil's personal advocacy is guiding first generation graduate girl students - whom he fondly calls as #BiryaniGirls.Known for his playful nature in childhood, Sunil worked diligently through high school and eventually graduated as a Mechanical Engineer from the esteemed IIT Kanpur in 1992. He later, in 2003, completed a PG in InternationalTrade from Symbiosis Institute of Management Studies and in 2021, completed an Executive Leadership Development program by Harvard Business Publishing and subsequentlya 7-day residential TrainTheTrainer (T3P) program by Sneh Desai & team.Sunil boasts over three decades of experience in multiple industries with a focus on business strategy, portfolio & program management, corporate real estate & workplace management and sourcing. Besides his work, Sunil lendshis expertise to unicorn incubator IIT Startups as a mentor and also provides career guidance to first-generation female students, the ‘BiryaniGirls'. In his personal life, Sunil is anavid follower of The Art of Living teachings and has actively volunteered with their Philippines chapter. His journey to find life's meaning led him to establish the #PurposeProject, a venture to help people discover and live their true calling. Over the years Sunil has contributed to multiplewhitepapers and leading books on Theory of Constraints & Business Transformation. At present he is working on multiple books on personal development, goal setting, habit forming and purposeful living in what he calls as #TheNewAge - the era of uncertainties with immense promises and threats. Sunil is also preparing to launch his NFT Art & short story collection.Sunil is a staunch believer in the power of community and is dedicated to making a positive global impact through his work. He's deeply grateful to his mentors, family, friends, andcolleagues for their influence on his life and success.He considers himself to be a lover, actor, trader, teacher, peaceful warrior, saint, and prince, albeit with a fear of snakes, heights, and loneliness. He enjoys yoga, dogs, cycling, badminton, AI art & story creation, movies, cricket, and human connection. Connect with him if you're seeking someone who's passionate, driven, and a bit quirky!Sunil can be contacted at https://www.linkedin.com/in/sunilkguptaskg/https://sunilkgupta.com interests / passionhttps://www.amazon.in/Unlock-Yourself-New-Age-Dialogues/dp/9360068152 - Unlock yourself in the new age - a book rooted in self-awareness, neurodivergence, personal rituals, and authentic transformation.

Every life holds a hidden epic. In this stirring episode, Raghunath and Kaustubha unlock the timeless teachings of the Ramayana and the Śrīmad Bhāgavatam to reveal how Lord Ram's divine story is far more than mythology—it's a living guide for our own transformation. Alongside the insights of Joseph Campbell's hero's journey, the sages explore what it truly means to conquer inner demons and rise to the occasion of your own sacred adventure. But this episode goes deeper than just inspiration. It offers a bold clarification of what līlā truly is—and what it's not. It's a common spiritual misstep to view the pain, confusion, and trauma of material life as brahman engaged in “divine play,” mistaking our suffering for the līlā of the Supreme. Raghunath and Kaustubha draw a clear line: true līlā is not the fractured experience of conditioned life, but the ecstatic, conscious, and love-saturated interactions of Krishna with His eternal energies—Ram and Sita, Radha and Krishna, Lakshman, Hanuman, and the gopīs, etc. To conflate the two is to miss the sweetness of bhakti, to remain trapped in illusion, and to miss the opportunity to enter into eternal līlā—the highest potential of the self. Key Highlights: * Why the Ramayana is more than story—it's a training ground for the soul * The crucial difference between true līlā and conditioned suffering * Why Lord Ram left without resentment—and how we can too * How to starve the inner Ravana and awaken your inner Hanuman * What it really means to return from the forest with “boons” for the world Join us and rediscover your highest potential—not by pretending to be the hero, but by walking the sacred path of one who's learning how to love.

Punjab Sounds (Routledge, 2024) nuances our understanding of the region's imbrications with sound. It argues that rather than being territorially bounded, the region only emerges in 'regioning', i.e., in words, gestures, objects, and techniques that do the region. Regioning sound reveals the relationship between sound and the region in three interlinked ways: in doing, knowing, and feeling the region through sound. The volume covers several musical genres of the Punjab region, including within its geographical remit the Punjabi diaspora and east and west Punjab. It also provides new understandings of the role that ephemeral cultural expressions, especially music and sound, play in the formulation of Punjabi identity. Featuring contributions from scholars across North America, South Asia, Europe, and the UK, it brings together diverse perspectives. The chapters use a range of different methods, ranging from computational analysis and ethnography to close textual analysis, demonstrating some of the ways in which research on music and sound can be carried out. The chapters will be relevant for anyone working on Punjab's music, including the Punjabi diaspora, music, and sound in the Global South. Moreover, it will be useful for undergraduate and postgraduate students in the following areas: ethnomusicology, cultural studies, film studies, music studies, South Asian studies, Punjab studies, history, and sound studies, among others. Radha Kapuria is Assistant Professor of South Asian History at Durham University, UK, and the author of Music in Colonial Punjab: Courtesans, Bards, and Connoisseurs, 1800–1947. Vebhuti Duggal is Assistant Professor in Film Studies at the School of Culture and Creative Expressions, Ambedkar University Delhi, and Associate Editor of the journal BioScope: South Asian Screen Studies. Khadeeja Amenda is PhD candidate in the Cultural Studies in Asia programme at the Department of Communication and New Media, National University of Singapore, Singapore.

Tomorrow is a very special day: we are celebrating the full moon commemorating the birthday of one the world's most ecstatic lover's of God, Chaitanya Mahaprabhu who is considered to be an incarnation of Krishna and Radha in one single body. The celebration of Holi where we pelt each other with bright, colored powders naturally signifies the fervor and celebration of devotion and the rich and diverse hues of God and the Life Divine! In this video, we say a few things about Holi and about Chaitanya, I let you in a little on our plans for celebrating tomorrow together on zoom and then I introduce you a very interesting Shaiva take on Holi which is especially celebrating in Kashi, the City of Shiva: "Masan Holy", cremation ground Holi where we use ash from the funeral pyre instead of colored powder!Jai Gaur Nitai! Lectures happen live every Monday at 7pm PST and Friday 10am PST and again Friday at 6pm PST.Use this link and I will see you there:https://www.zoom.us/j/7028380815For more videos, guided meditations and instruction and for access to our lecture library, visit me at:https://www.patreon.com/yogawithnishTo get in on the discussion and access various spiritual materials, join our Discord here: https://discord.gg/U8zKP8yMrMSupport the show

Hearing that his father was dead was very nearly the last straw for Radha Manickam. In two years he'd lost almost his entire family under the brutal regime of Cambodia's Khmer Rouge. It seemed that God had abandoned him, and one night while lying on an anthill in the middle of a rice paddy, he decided to end it all. But then hope arrived–in a most unlikely place, and a most unexpected way.This series is based on my recent interviews with Radha, along with my 2016 book about his experiences. The book, audiobook, and this series are titled Intended for Evil by Les Sillars.Support WORLD News Group at wng.org/donateIntended for Evil available as a paperback and audio book at Amazon.com

After the communist Khmer Rouge took over Cambodia on April 17, 1975, they herded everybody out of the cities and into socialist “cooperatives.” Radha Manickam and family were sent to the country's northwest, where they and 1.8 million others were dumped out of trains and told to start building villages.It was Year Zero, supposedly the start of the agrarian utopia promised by their Marxist masters.Instead, Radha watched the Khmer Rouge turn Cambodia into the realm of the dead.This series tells a hard and brutal story, but it's also a story of hope and, ultimately, redemption. It's based on my recent interviews with Radha, along with my 2016 book about his experiences.

How do Shakespeare's timeless themes translate to the South Asian diaspora? Could the man from Stratford himself be reimagined as a meddling auntie? Novelist Nisha Sharma's If Shakespeare Were an Auntie trilogy takes on this challenge, taking inspiration from The Taming of the Shrew, Much Ado About Nothing, and Twelfth Night to create contemporary romance novels set in the vibrant, close-knit world of the South Asian community. Sharma's books explore love, identity, and social norms through characters navigating family expectations and community dynamics. These playful and poignant adaptations highlight Shakespeare's enduring relevance while addressing modern issues like gender expectations and cultural identity. This episode explores Sharma's creative process, her lifelong love for Shakespeare, and her approach to blending the playwright's timeless themes with modern romance. From chaotic weddings to sharp banter, her novels reflect the humor and humanity of Shakespeare's work while offering fresh perspectives for today's readers. Nisha Sharma is the critically acclaimed author of YA and adult contemporary romances including My So-Called Bollywood Life, Radha and Jai's Recipe for Romance, The Singh Family Trilogy, and the If Shakespeare was an Auntie series. Her books have been included in best-of lists by the New York Times, the Washington Post, Cosmopolitan, Entertainment Weekly, and more. She lives in Pennsylvania with her Alaskan husband, her cat Lizzie Bennett, and her dogs Nancey Drew and Madeline. From the Shakespeare Unlimited podcast.

The communist Khmer Rouge marched into Phnom Penh, the capital of Cambodia, on April 17, 1975. Radha Manickam, a new Christian, watched them arrive from the balcony of his parents' apartment. It was Radha's first exposure to the Khmer Rouge. The leader of the Khmer Rouge was Pol Pot, led the most violent and brutal government in modern history. In its doomed attempt to create an agrarian utopia, between 1975 and 1979 Pol Pot's regime murdered over 1.7 million people. Many were beaten to death or executed. Others starved to death or died of fatigue or some wretched disease. Mao and Stalin's Communist regimes killed far more people. But no other government has destroyed nearly a quarter of its own citizens.Today Pol Pot is largely forgotten. But he and the Khmer Rouge are well worth remembering. Because the ideas that formed the Khmer Rouge are still with us today. Also worth remembering are the stories of those who survived. People like Radha Manickam. We'll be telling his story over the next three episodes. It is in many ways a brutal story. One of loss and grief and terror. But it's also a story of hope and grace. And ultimately, redemption.This series is based on my recent interviews with Radha, along with my 2016 book about his experiences. The book and this series are titled “Intended for Evil” by Les Sillars.Audio from:The Associated PressNBC NewsABC NewsSupport WORLD News Group at wng.org/donate
