    Oct 2 2025

    Discussing the lyrics to a song by country rapper Jelly Roll and how it might reflect our own spiritual lives. Live 10/4/2025, pre-recorded in Boston 9/20/2025

    0:00 – Talking about Jelly Roll song "Need A Favor"
    1:39 – Only praying when needed
    2:29 – Shallow spirituality & personal faith
    3:15 – Abusive relationship with god | not listening to god
    5:26 – Closing thoughts

    This show is a 2025 People's Choice Podcast Award nominee in the Hinduism category. For seekers who’ve outgrown spiritual fluff. This isn’t about trends, vibes, or blind devotion. This is real talk for real seekers.

    I’m Premanand Das Bhagat (Aaron Joy), in Portland, Maine, USA. I followed the so-called spiritual path—believed everything and anything, joined a cult, and ran in circles. Through honest effort, deep unlearning, and painful self-awareness, I found clarity in Sanatana Dharma (Hinduism).

    Now, I speak to those who feel the same disillusionment. If you believe in asking questions, rejecting lazy universalism, and using logic and scripture together to navigate this chaotic world—you’re in the right place.

  • 167 Fake Gurus Exposed – Chris Butler (Part 3/3): Tulsi Gabbard's Ex-Guru
    Aug 24 2025

    Reacting to Vaishnava guru Chris Butler (aka Jagad Guru Siddhaswarupananda Paramahamsa). He is a former member of ISKCON (during the lifetime of Swami Prabhupada) who started his own group of Krishna devotees in Hawaii, today called the Science of Identity Foundation, and said to be Krishna or "akin to god" by ex-devotees. He is famous for his negative teachings of Muslims, LGBTQ, and being Tulsi Gabbard's former spiritual guru. This video is not about Tulsi, her family, her recent nomination as Director of National Intelligence, nor the cult accusations surrounding Jagad Guru, but just looking at what he says in the moment (which is my approach to all guru reaction videos). Live 8.22.2025.

    A website of his writings here
    Criticism of Tulsi's involvement here

    17:16 – Reaction con't: God gives to devotees what they need to see | seeing God's representative
    25:43 – Reaction con't: Serving devotee's concept of guru | guru's playing a part
    32:07 – Reaction con't: Having blind faith | having spiritual doubts | purging personal beliefs
    40:00 – Debunking fake gurus | reading from "Taking Refuge In Dharma" by Sri Dharma Pravatarka Acharya on traits of an authentic guru

  • 164 Culture & Dharma - Wokism is the Enemy of Hinduism in India (Make Caste Great Again)
    Jul 27 2025

    Hinduism, Neo-Hinduism, the Bhakti and Advaita Vedanta movements have looked beyond the caste (varna and jati) social hierarchy systems, but Wokism would take those gains away as it is focused on classism and class warfare. Wokism also takes Hinduism farther from the Vedic tradition. Live 7/26/2025.

    0:00 – Intro to discussing woke progressivism's relationship with Hinduism (particularly in India)

    2:03 – Personal views of wokism, unrealistic but hopeful ideas with a negative endgame, a big business cult of a carrot & stick situation | depopulation agenda | destroying tradition, family

    17:09 – Defining Hindusim | modern religion that is essentially Sanatana Dharma & Christian universalism

    19:22 – Defining Neo-Hinduism | Hinduism mixed with modern ideas that are not tied to scriptures

    21:57 – Wokism is against many Hindu values, including being anti-tradition, anti-family, anti-gender roles, pro-depopulation, wokism is a pawn of Big Corp, is pro-science denial, pro-Marxism, anti-rationality

    27:14 – Hinduism/Neo-Hinduism has moved to see beyond class due to the Bhakti movement & Advaita Vedanta, particularly in West all are one | Sri Swaminarayan example of classism among monks in 1800's Gujurat

    33:14 – Wokism is obsessed with hierarchy & class to promote victimhood, reparations, oppression, punishment of rich | example of NYC 2025 Mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani wants to end millionaires | high class equals horrible | regressive goal of turning system to days like under Muslim rule to punish others | promoting revenge & punishment, us vs them | identity politics wants to see race in a world where many of us want to end divisions

    43:21 – Woke progressive Hinduism is irrational & moves farther from Hinduism's roots

    45:54 – Warning against woke progressivism, which will destroy Hinduism & India | Great Britain will become officially Muslim | future is all hate speech
