In this deeply moving episode of The Spiritual Ninja Podcast, Jonathan Hewitt sits down with renowned classical Indian dancer and spiritual practitioner Anuradha Naimpally for a powerful conversation on oneness, the mind, and the embodiment of love.

Raised in a home immersed in Advaita Vedanta and Indian classical arts, Anuradha shares how her early exposure to spiritual teachings through the Chinmaya Mission, combined with decades of dance practice, shaped her inner journey.

Together, Jonathan and Anuradha explore:

• The “monkey mind” and why we give it too much importance
• Fear as the illusion of separation
• Advaita Vedanta and the rope vs. snake teaching
• Breath practices to calm the nervous system
• Somatic tools like shaking to release stored tension
• Protecting your energy with visualization
• Sacred ritual in everyday life
• Rasa – the transcendent aesthetic experience in art
• Why the purpose of life is to understand our true nature
• And why that true nature… is love

Anuradha beautifully shares a rare out-of-body experience while performing that confirmed her life’s purpose — and how spiritual grounding makes her more present, productive, and impactful in the world.

This episode bridges philosophy and practicality — showing how spirituality is not an escape from life, but the foundation for living it fully.

✨ One Spirit. Many Paths.

From Harvard to Heroic Spirit is a powerful, honest conversation about what it really means to live a spiritual life in the modern world.

In this episode of The Spiritual Ninja Podcast, host Jonathan Hewitt sits down with CEO Michael Balchan, to explore his deeply personal journey — from early disillusionment with Catholicism, through years of exploration across spiritual traditions, and ultimately back to a renewed, grounded relationship with Christianity.

Together, they unpack:

• How spirituality evolves across different stages of life

• The role of prayer, meditation, and inner guidance

• Why the body is not separate from spiritual growth

• How relationships become the true testing ground for love and awakening

• What it means to create meaning rather than wait for it to be given

This conversation isn’t about religion vs. spirituality — it’s about integration. About living from inner clarity while showing up fully in relationships, work, and daily life.

If you’re drawn to spirituality that’s practical, inclusive, and lived — not just believed — this episode will resonate deeply.

One Spirit. Many Paths. One integrated life.
