  • Bhakti Approach on Heaven & Hell | Radhika Das, Keli Woods & Nāma
    Dec 23 2024

    Picture yourself in the serene landscapes of Vrindavan, where every creature takes only what it needs, and the air is filled with harmony and balance. Our journey begins with this peaceful imagery, guiding us through a transformative discussion on how selflessness can lead to spiritual transcendence. We explore the enriching teachings of bhakti yoga and uncover the profound difference between heaven and hell through acts of kindness and mutual support.


    The conversation takes a light-hearted turn as we reflect on the quirky human behaviours witnessed during the COVID-19 pandemic, like the infamous toilet paper frenzy. This sets the stage for a thoughtful examination of selflessness versus selfishness, using the lens of Vedic philosophy, by reimagining heaven and hell as temporary states shaped by our consciousness and karma.


    As the episode wraps up, we delve into the intricate dance of forgiveness and sin, drawing parallels between divine love and the human capacity for forgiveness. A poignant story of a Sufi lady with her symbolic buckets underscores the importance of loving God in the present moment and setting aside concerns of the afterlife. We invite you to embrace a life filled with purpose, service, and enthusiasm, as we ponder how art and spirituality can leave a lasting impact on our world.

    Our pilgrimage to Vrindavan has evolved over the years, shifting from purely seeking personal enlightenment to facilitating spiritual journeys for others. This year, guiding a particularly receptive group amplified the spiritual experience for all of us. This episode explores the profound impact of having a purpose in Vrindavan and how sharing the experience of Krishna can open pathways to deeper spiritual engagement, turning a superficial visit into a life-altering journey.

  • Do Spiritualists Need to Be So Boring? | Radhika Das, Keli Woods & Nāma
    Nov 25 2024

    Imagine a world where spirituality is more about laughter and joy than solemnity and sacrifice. In today's episode, we shatter the stereotype of spirituality as a solemn endeavor and instead highlight the genuine delight that can be found in simplicity and community. Through activities like chanting and dancing without the need for intoxication, we uncover a deeper, more sustainable form of enjoyment that transcends traditional fun.


    We explore how humor can enhance spiritual growth, creating a vibrant community where imperfections are not just accepted but celebrated. Spiritual practice becomes a joy when we allow ourselves to be fallible and embrace a less rigid approach to life.


    As we navigate the intriguing intersection of spirituality and everyday life, the contrast between spiritual and material pursuits becomes evident. While material pleasures often come with limits and potential downsides, a serious yet joyous spiritual journey offers lasting fulfillment. We discuss how societies, including those chasing Western ideals, may overlook the negative consequences of material excess. By understanding our true nature and aligning our actions with our intrinsic dharma, we find not only fulfillment but also a lasting happiness that enriches our lives and those of our communities.
