About this listen

Discover Bhakti, the timeless wisdom of the self, love, and the means to achieve lasting happiness and inner fulfillment.

At Exploring Bhakti we uncover the ancient teachings of Bhakti yoga — the yoga of divine love -- and uncover what Bhagavad Gita and Srimad Bhagavatam say about the true self, the nature of consciousness, the world, self-realization, peace, sacred love and how to reconnect with the Sweet Absolute in the joy of mutual loving exchanges, which brings the highest bliss.

For beginners and seasoned seekers alike, we explore yoga philosophy in a practical way that’s inspiring and easy to connect with and can transform your life. We maintain the richness of the yoga tradition while presenting it in a simple, authentic, and accessible way.

I’m Pranada Comtois. I’ve been living, studying, and teaching Bhakti for over 50 years, and have authored 3 award-winning books on it. Welcome.

  • 21 The Bhakti Pilgrimage: Preparing for the Inner Journey
    Jan 8 2026

    For the sincere seeker who has walked many spiritual roads yet still feels an unfulfilled longing, this episode invites a gentle but radical reorientation. Here, Bhakti is revealed not as a belief system or institution, but as a living pilgrimage of the heart—one that integrates philosophy, daily life, and an intimate relationship with the Divine. Through the metaphor of sacred travel, we explore how knowledge, practice, and loving association guide the soul home, offering clarity, meaning, and a path that is both deeply rational and profoundly tender.

  • 20 Maha-Mantra Meditation The Chanters Journey to Divine Love
    Jan 1 2026

    This episode offers a gentle doorway into the inner journey of chanting the maha-mantra. Rather than a technique or a performance, sacred sound becomes a lived relationship, guiding the heart from the first soft stirrings of self-awareness to the unfolding of divine love. Drawing from Sri Chaitanya’s eight poetic instructions, this reflection traces how sincere chanting gradually reveals the soul’s nature, dissolves the illusions that exhaust us, and draws us nearer to the Divine in a way that is personal, tender, and transformative.

  • 19 Whispers of the Soul: Discovering Japa Meditation
    Dec 25 2025

    For the sincere seeker who has walked many inner paths yet still feels an unformed longing in her chest, this episode invites a deeper softening into the heart. Here, the ancient practice of japa becomes less of a technique and more of a quiet homecoming—a gentle, soul-level conversation with the Divine through sacred sound. In a world that exhausts the mind and fragments the spirit, this intimate form of mantra meditation offers a way to reclaim presence, clarity, and the living relationship at the core of Bhakti. If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by life, spiritually “not enough,” or unsure how to approach a personal relationship with the Divine, this exploration of japa opens a doorway to the simplicity, sweetness, and steady inner nourishment your heart has been seeking.
