About this listen

Most podcasts keep politics and spirituality separate. We don’t.

We believe understanding the world requires both, and a willingness to ask deeper questions, practice discernment, and look beyond surface-level narratives to see what’s actually happening beneath the headlines.

This is a truth-seeking podcast for conscious thinkers exploring geopolitics and current culture through a spiritual lens rooted in Vedic philosophy.

What is the 8th Element? It is Oxygen, the breath of life. We cannot live without it. And for the soul’s nourishment and awakening we need this life giving information based on clear thinking and transcendental knowledge.

As a trio of decades long practicing bhakti yogis or Vaisnavas, we unpack hidden truths, challenge power structures, and apply common sense to understand with coherence a rapidly changing world.

So come as you are my friend, prabhus from all walks of life, with sincerity and an open heart. We’ll meet you here every week on Thursday night/Friday morning.

    EP. 3 | Surviving a Triple Homicide: Deva Hill's Journey from Trauma to Spiritual Transformation
    Feb 24 2026

    At 16 years old, he was shot during a triple homicide. Two of his friends died.

    He shouldn’t have survived. But in the middle of chaos… he started chanting the holy name of God.

    In this episode of the 8th Element Podcast, Dava shares the night that changed everything — from selling drugs as a teenager to facing death head-on, forgiving the man who killed his friends, and discovering a faith that could never be shaken again. This conversation goes deeper than survival.

    We talk about: - What happens in your mind when you think you’re about to die - Karma, accountability, and personal responsibility - Forgiveness after trauma - Why he doesn’t question whether God exists - Why society desperately needs to make loving God “cool” again.

    This isn’t theory. It’s lived experience.

    If you’ve ever questioned faith, struggled with bitterness, or wondered whether transformation is really possible — this episode will challenge you.
