  • Episode 131--What God Really Wants (It’s Not What You Think)
    Jan 8 2026

    What if God isn’t asking you for perfection, wealth, or elaborate offerings—but something far simpler and far more personal?

    In this episode, we explore Bhagavad-gita 9.26–27, where Krishna reveals what He truly desires from us and why even a leaf, a flower, a fruit, or water—when offered with love—means more to Him than the grandest display.

    We talk about the difference between liking God and loving God, how devotion grows in stages, why intention matters more than the item, and how even our ordinary daily actions can become sacred when we offer them to Him.

    You’ll hear stories, relatable examples, and heartfelt conversations about shifting from “What can I get?” to “How can I love?”, and how this simple mindset transforms our spiritual life from the inside out.

    If you’ve ever wondered: ✨ What does God actually want from me? ✨ How do I offer my day, my relationships, or my problems to Krishna? ✨ How do I deepen my devotion even when life feels messy?

    This episode is for you.

  • Episode 130--From Transaction to Love: What We’re Really Seeking in God
    Jan 5 2026

    In this episode, we continue our journey through Bhagavad Gita Chapter 9 (Texts 9.23–9.25) and explore a subtle but powerful shift Krishna invites us to make — moving from a transactional relationship with God to one rooted in love.

    We talk about why people often approach God (or demigods) for specific results, how faith can be real yet indirect, and why different paths lead to different destinations. Krishna doesn’t condemn or coerce — instead, He patiently explains how desire shapes destiny and why He responds to what we actually seek.

    This conversation also touches on control, surrender, and the humility that comes when we realize we’re not the ultimate doer. Through personal reflection, analogies, and open discussion, we look at how bhakti isn’t about bargaining with God — it’s about coming home to a relationship built on trust and love.

    A gentle, honest episode for anyone navigating faith, desire, and the longing for something eternal.

  • Episode 129--1% Devotion, 99% Krishna: Trusting the One Who Carries Us
    Jan 1 2026

    What if spiritual life isn’t about giving a perfect performance… but about simply showing up with sincerity?

    In this episode, we explore the incredibly comforting promise Krishna gives in Bhagavad Gita 9.22: When we offer even a little devotion, Krishna personally steps in — protecting what we have and providing what we lack.

    We talk about:

    • Why Krishna cares for more than just our soul — He cares for our whole life

    • What it looks like to build trust when things feel uncertain or overwhelming

    • Small daily shifts that anchor us in divine support

    • The difference between worry and remembrance — and how one drains us while the other strengthens us

    If you’ve ever felt like your best isn’t enough… or wondered how to make spiritual life consistent in the chaos of real life… this episode is a reminder:

    You don’t have to carry everything. Krishna is already carrying you.

  • Episode 128--The Happiness That Lasts: Why We’re Made for More
    Dec 29 2025

    We all go through life chasing comfort, security, love, or success — hoping each new “upgrade” will finally make us happy. But over and over again, we run into the same reality: everything in this world eventually fades.

    In this episode, we explore Bhagavad Gita 9.18–21, where Krishna lovingly shows us a bigger picture. He reveals that He is the source behind every blessing and every bit of support we receive in our lives. Even when kindness comes through another person — a friend, a doctor, a stranger — it’s ultimately Krishna caring for us.

    We also take a deeper look at the pursuit of material enjoyment — even the “best version” of it found in heavenly planets. It may feel amazing for a while, but eventually the good karma runs out, the high wears off, and we’re right back where we started. Krishna invites us not to settle for temporary happiness when we’re made for an eternal relationship with Him.

    This episode is an invitation to lift our eyes from the temporary and remember our real home — the place where love never ends and happiness never fades.

  • Episode 127--The Personal God: What Christmas and the Gita Teach Us
    Dec 25 2025

    Why do we long for a love that doesn’t fade… a presence that feels close… a connection that feels personal?

    In this special Christmas episode of Gita in Action, we explore a beautiful message at the heart of Bhagavad Gita 9.15–9.16: God is not an abstract idea — He is a loving, personal source who shows up in our lives in ways we can recognize and relate to.

    We’ll look at:

    • The three ways people understand God in the Gita — and why the personal conception is the most fulfilling

    • How bhakti transforms spirituality from a concept into a relationship

    • Why Krishna says “I am the father, the mother, the support, the object of worship” — and what that means for us

    • How Christmas reminds the world that God meets us where we are

    If you’ve ever wondered: “Is God really here with me?” “How do I experience the personal side of the Divine?” “What if my heart still feels unsure?”

    …this conversation is for you.

    May this season awaken a deeper connection — one that feels close, real, and full of love. ❤️🙏

  • Episode 126--Living Bhakti in the Middle of Real Life
    Dec 22 2025

    What does devotion actually look like when life is busy, overwhelming, and imperfect?

    In this episode, we explore Bhagavad Gita 9.14, where Krishna describes the great souls who worship Him with devotion, determination, and love in action. Together, we talk about kīrtan beyond just singing, the power of showing up for God even when it’s uncomfortable, and how bhakti isn’t about escaping our responsibilities—but reorienting them.

    This conversation is for anyone trying to practice spiritual life while juggling work, family, caregiving, exhaustion, and real-world struggles. We reflect on honoring our time with God, staying connected through service and chanting, and learning how small, sincere efforts—done with love—can transform our inner world.

    Bhakti isn’t meant to be lived on the sidelines of life. It’s meant to be lived right in the middle of it.

  • Episode 125--The Square Peg Problem: What We’re Really Searching For
    Dec 18 2025

    Why does it feel like no matter how much we achieve, heal, learn, or improve ourselves, something still feels missing?

    In this episode of Gita in Action, we explore a powerful teaching from Bhagavad Gita 9.12–9.13, where Krishna explains why even sincere effort — including spiritual effort — can leave us feeling unfulfilled when God isn’t at the center, and how a different orientation of the heart leads to steadiness and clarity.

    We talk about the “square peg problem”: how we try to fill the heart with careers, relationships, self-help, success, and even spirituality, only to discover that none of them quite fit. Not because they’re bad or meaningless — but because they’re not meant to replace the source of love and fulfillment.

    Through practical examples, personal stories, and reflections on devotion, surrender, and the nature of great souls (mahatmas), this episode shows how the endless search finally comes to rest — not through repression or denial, but through real connection with Krishna, the inexhaustible source of joy.

    If you’ve ever felt like you’re running hard but still not arriving, this conversation offers clarity, hope, and a gentler way forward.
