What happens to our loved ones after they pass away? In our final episode of this season focused on grief and loss, we explore the idea that death is not the end, but a transition to a new beginning. In the Bhagavad Geeta, Lord Krishna reminds us that just as a person discards worn-out clothes and puts on new ones, the soul casts off a worn body to enter a new life. When a loved one passes away, the grief can feel overwhelming. Through verses from the Geeta, accounts of near-death experiences, and

But what if we have more agency than we realize?In this episode, we explore how the teachings of the Bhagavad Geeta invite us to reclaim our power, even in the midst of profoundly difficult times. We discuss how our response shapes not only our own experience but also the experiences of

Caring for a loved one who is ill is a role no one prepares you for. I’m Shaila, co-host of the Geeta Girl podcast, and that was my experience through the three years of my cousin’s battle with cancer – and in the grief that followed after she passed. During the time of her illness, lessons from the Bhagavad Geeta like equanimity, gratitude, and “do your best, leave the rest” became more than philosophy—they became something I leaned on. They helped me navigate the ups and downs of caregiving – the

In our final episode on setting boundaries, we discuss the most important person you need to set boundaries with - YOU! What do we mean?

In this podcast, we explore timeless lessons from the Geeta that remind us self-care is about creating balance. Through the

What do you think would have happened if Arjuna had set some boundaries with his cousins a lot earlier? Well, his inability to set them gave us the Geeta so we won’t judge him too much but YOU, dear listener have the power to prevent a war! As we learned from Arjuna, the more you procrastinate expressing your boundaries, the more people will expect that you don’t have them. In this episode, we go over a few listener questions to illustrate how to do your duty by standing up for yourself and building

2025/02/21

In this podcast, we continue the conversation about boundaries. Where and when do we draw that line? Your first clue is whenever you feel agitated (a direct quote from Krishna!). Madonna said it best when she sang about the challenges of crossing Borderlines— “feels like I’m going to lose my mind”. When you get that feeling, it’s time to draw that strict boundary. And as she also said, “Nobody should keep on pushing your love over the borderline”. We discuss this and other situations where you

I deserve it! We have all had that thought before. I worked hard therefore I deserve the promotion. I studied hard so I deserve to get into that college. Maybe you thought, I messed up, so I deserve the punishment. But what do we really deserve? In the Geeta, Krishna reminds us that we only have a right to the effort and no right to the result. No one deserves anything – not the good fortune or the bad. The only thing you have a “right” to is the effort itself and not the outcome. If you can't

A good part of Chapter 1 in the Bhagavad Geeta is Arjun making excuses for why he doesn’t want to engage in battle with his ne’er-do-well cousins. He makes excuse after excuse for why he can’t do what he knows he has to do. Will it really do any good? They are my family- I can’t stand up to them! It will be bad for my karma if I do something!
