Can spirituality help solve the chaos of our modern world?

Join us for a thought-provoking conversation with S.B. Keshava Swami as he shares wisdom from his travels and the teachings of the Bhagavad Gita. We explore Krishna’s ‘peace formula’ and ask whether shifting from materialism to spirituality can bring harmony to both individuals and society.

This discussion goes beyond theory. We take a hard look at real-world problems like economic and environmental crises, examining the role of greed and selfishness. But who is responsible for driving this change, and how can we create opportunities for a higher awareness? We also tackle the challenge of spiritual bypassing and ask whether true spiritual awakening can be the solution our world urgently needs.

Finally, we embrace the present moment, the ‘be here, be now’ mindset, and the beauty of seeing the divine in everyday life. This is more than a discussion—it’s an invitation to find peace and spread it. Tune in for a journey that informs, uplifts, and transforms.

Join us on a transformative journey as we explore the profound relationship between confidence and spirituality. Together with our guests, Keli Woods & Nāma we discuss how true confidence emerges from recognising ourselves as conduits for divine will, rather than being the doers. Drawing inspiration from the Bhagavad Gita, we examine the idea that understanding Krishna as the ultimate doer can help alleviate fears of judgement and attachment to the ego, fostering genuine confidence. We also touch on the tenacity required in spiritual practice, likening it to a sporting match where persistence and strength are crucial.

Listen in as we navigate the interplay between faith, humility, and purpose in our daily lives. By attributing successes to Krishna or a spiritual teacher, we cultivate humility and become receptive to spiritual growth, even amidst the pursuit of material goals. This conversation challenges us to reassess our actions' purposes and align them with a higher spiritual consciousness.

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.
