Welcome to the Ask Sadhviji podcast!

In this special live episode, recorded at the beautiful Sivananda Ashram Yoga Retreat Bahamas during Sadhviji’s April 2026 retreat, we conclude the transformative Redefining Success series with a powerful and practical framework for living a truly successful life.

After exploring the myths of achievement, happiness, purpose, fear, perfectionism, and fulfillment throughout the retreat, Sadhviji brings everything together with one simple yet profound insight:

Success is freedom.

Freedom from other people’s expectations. Freedom from the need for approval. Freedom from attachment to outcomes. Freedom from the illusion that we are the sole doers of our lives.

Drawing on the wisdom of the Bhagavad Gita, Sadhviji shares a memorable acronym—A.L.I.V.E.—to help us embody success in daily life through Awareness, Love, Integrity, Vairagya (spiritual freedom), and Engagement.

This final session of the series also features a heartfelt and deeply moving Q&A covering caregiving, dementia, women in leadership, family life versus monastic life, spiritual freedom, and how to remain grounded amidst life’s greatest challenges.

What if success is not something we achieve?

What if success is the freedom to live fully, consciously, lovingly, and authentically in every moment?

In this episode, Sadhviji explores:

• Why true success is ultimately about freedom, not achievement
 • How awareness helps us step out of drama and into presence
 • The essential role of love in a meaningful and fulfilling life
 • Why integrity matters more than money, status, or recognition
 • The deeper meaning of vairagya and spiritual non-attachment
• How focus and engagement help us live our dharma fully
• Whether enlightenment requires becoming a monk or leaving family life
• How to navigate caregiving, aging, and dementia with compassion
• The importance of the feminine principle in leadership and service
• Practical ways to live with greater purpose, peace, and fulfillment

Join us for this inspiring final conversation in the Redefining Success series as we discover what it means to be truly A.L.I.V.E.—living with awareness, love, integrity, freedom, and wholehearted engagement in the world.

Sadhviji has devoted her life to guiding individuals in liberating themselves from self-limiting beliefs and...

Welcome to the Ask Sadhviji podcast!

In this third episode of the Redefining Success series, recorded live at the beautiful Sivananda Ashram Yoga Retreat in the Bahamas, Sadhviji explores one of life's deepest questions: What is true success?

Drawing on stories from her own spiritual journey, teachings from her guru, and wisdom from the great saints of India, Sadhviji challenges the conventional definitions of success built on achievement, approval, status, and comparison.

She shares a powerful realization that transformed her own understanding of purpose: that dharma is not necessarily one perfect career, title, or calling, but the unique way each of us expresses truth, love, and service in the world.

In this inspiring and deeply practical talk, Sadhviji explores:

•  Why external success often fails to bring lasting fulfillment 
•  The difference between purpose and dharma 
•  How comparison and competition keep us disconnected from ourselves 
•  Why presence is the foundation of peace, joy, and spiritual growth 
•  The role of awareness in transforming challenges and suffering 
•  How to discover and live your authentic path 

Through stories, spiritual wisdom, and guided reflection, Sadhviji invites us to shift our focus from chasing future achievements to cultivating an inner state that remains steady regardless of life's circumstances.

Ultimately, she reminds us that success is not defined by what happens to us, but by how we respond—and that true fulfillment comes not from becoming someone else, but from fully embodying who we truly are.

Join us for this transformative conversation on dharma, awareness, purpose, and the deeper meaning of success.

Welcome to the Ask Sadhviji podcast! In this special live episode, recorded at the beautiful Sivananda Ashram Yoga Retreat Bahamas during Sadhviji's April 2026 retreat, we continue our Redefining Success series with a question that most people spend their entire lives avoiding:

Where are you actually going?

Many of us have a clear plan for the next year, the next promotion, the next achievement, or the next milestone. But beneath all of those goals lies a deeper question: What is the ultimate destination of your life?

In this powerful satsang, Sadhviji explores why so many people achieve everything they thought they wanted—degrees, careers, money, status, relationships—yet still find themselves feeling unfulfilled. Drawing on ancient wisdom, modern neuroscience, and practical life experience, she challenges the cultural definition of success that keeps us endlessly striving while never truly arriving.

She explains how much of modern life is driven by anticipation, comparison, and the pursuit of "more," while genuine happiness can only be experienced in the present moment. Through teachings on dharma, purpose, fulfillment, and spiritual freedom, Sadhviji offers a more expansive vision of success—one rooted not merely in accomplishment, but in balance, meaning, connection, and inner peace. 

This episode is an invitation to pause, step off the treadmill of endless striving, and ask yourself a question that can transform the direction of your entire life.

In this episode, Sadhviji explores:

• Why achieving your goals does not automatically create happiness
 • The hidden question beneath every ambition: "Where am I actually going?"
 • How dopamine keeps us chasing the future instead of living in the present
 • The four aims of life and the role of dharma in true success
 • Why balance matters more than achievement alone
 • How to create a life rooted in purpose, fulfillment, and spiritual growth
 • The difference between external accomplishment and inner freedom

Join us for this thought-provoking conversation on purpose, happiness, and discovering a definition of success that nourishes not only your career, but your mind, heart, and soul.

Sadhviji has devoted her life to guiding individuals in liberating themselves from self-limiting beliefs and...

Welcome to the Ask Sadhviji podcast! In this special live episode, recorded at the beautiful Sivananda Ashram Yoga Retreat Bahamas during Sadhviji’s April 2026 retreat, we begin a powerful new series: Redefining Success.

From childhood, many of us are taught that success means achieving the right grades, landing the right job, earning more money, building the perfect family, and checking all the expected boxes. Yet despite accomplishing so much, countless people still find themselves asking:

“Why am I not happy?”

In this opening session, Sadhviji explores the difference between external achievement and true fulfillment. Drawing on wisdom from the Bhagavad Gita, her own spiritual journey, and decades of teaching around the world, she invites us to question the definitions of success we inherited and discover a deeper, more meaningful path.

What if success is not about becoming more, accumulating more, or proving more?

What if true success is measured by the quality of our inner life, our connection to purpose, and our ability to remain grounded, peaceful, and present amidst life’s inevitable ups and downs?

This talk is an invitation to look beyond society’s scoreboard and reconnect with what truly matters.

In this episode, Sadhviji explores:

• Why external achievement often fails to bring lasting happiness
• The hidden ways we tie our worth to performance and accomplishment
• How childhood conditioning shapes our definition of success
• The difference between material success and spiritual fulfillment
• Why happiness, peace, and purpose are not destinations but foundations
• How to discover your unique dharma and live a life of deeper meaning

Join us for the first conversation in this transformative series as we explore what it means to live a truly successful life—not only in the eyes of the world, but in the deepest truth of our own hearts.

The meditation concludes with the sacred prayer:

"Tamso ma jyotir gamaya. Mrityor ma amritam gamaya."

"Lead us from darkness to light. From the illusion of limitation to the truth of our eternal nature."

Welcome to the Ask Sadhviji podcast! In this deeply reflective episode, Sadhviji explores some of the most profound spiritual questions about liberation, the purpose of human life, and the role of the Guru on the journey.

The episode begins with an exploration of moksha—liberation—and whether it means the same thing for everyone. Sadhviji reflects on why some people feel a deep longing for liberation while others feel more drawn to the experiences of the world, offering insight into the soul’s unique journey and readiness.

She then addresses the perspective that this human life is but a fleeting moment in the vast continuum of many lifetimes. In light of this, she shares what it truly means to live a life of significance—not in terms of external achievement, but through awareness, growth, and alignment with our higher purpose.

The conversation also turns to the meaning of Guru—what a Guru truly is, why the presence of a Guru is so important on the spiritual path, and whether knowledge from books can fulfill that role. Sadhviji offers guidance on how to approach the search for a Guru, and how to recognize that guidance when it appears in one’s life.

Finally, Sadhviji reminds us that the journey toward liberation is deeply personal, yet supported by grace, guidance, and sincere seeking.

Tune in to hear reflections on these essential questions:

•  Does moksha mean different things to different people? Why do some of us desire it more than others? 
•  If this life is just a brief moment among many lifetimes, what can we truly do of significance? 
•  What does Guru mean, and why do we need a Guru? Can a book be a Guru, and how do we find true guidance? 

Join us for a contemplative and inspiring conversation on liberation, purpose, and the sacred relationship between seeker and guide.

Welcome to the Ask Sadhviji podcast! In this deeply insightful episode, Sadhviji addresses some of the most pressing inner struggles of our time—addiction, overthinking, anxiety, and anger.

The episode begins with a compassionate exploration of addiction, examining whether true freedom is possible and what it really takes to break free—not just from substances or habits, but from the deeper patterns that bind the mind.

Sadhviji then turns to the challenge of overthinking and anxiety, offering practical wisdom on how to quiet the mind, move out of constant mental loops, and return to a place of inner steadiness and peace.

The conversation also explores anger—why it arises, why so many techniques fail to address it at its root, and the simple yet powerful approach Sadhviji uses to transform it into awareness rather than reaction.

Finally, Sadhviji weaves these themes together, reminding us that true freedom is not about controlling life, but about mastering our inner responses with consciousness and compassion.

Tune in to hear reflections on these essential questions:

• How can someone successfully come out of addiction? Is true freedom possible?
• How do we deal with overthinking and anxiety?
• There are so many methods to control anger—what technique truly works?

Join us for a grounding and empowering conversation on breaking free from inner patterns, calming the mind, and cultivating lasting emotional balance.

Welcome to the Ask Sadhviji podcast! In this thought-provoking episode, Sadhviji explores some of the most complex and often confusing questions about destiny, karma, and human choice.

The episode begins by examining whether everything in life is truly pre-destined, and how to understand repeated failure—whether it is a sign to give up or an invitation to grow, persevere, or realign. 

Sadhviji then reflects on the influence of planetary alignments, clarifying the role astrology may play in our lives while placing karma and conscious action at the center of spiritual responsibility.

The conversation also dives into the deeper workings of the karmic cycle, addressing the painful and universal question of why bad things happen to good people.

Finally, Sadhviji brings clarity to the relationship between destiny and accountability, explaining why individuals are still responsible for their actions even if life unfolds according to a larger cosmic order.

Tune in to hear reflections on these essential questions:

• Is everything in life pre-destined, and if I fail repeatedly, should I give up?
• How do planetary alignments influence our lives, and what role does karma play?
• How does the cycle of karma work, and why do bad things happen to good people?
• If everything is pre-destined, why are people held accountable when they do wrong?

Join us for a clarifying and grounding conversation on fate and free will, effort and surrender, and living responsibly within life’s greater design.

Through relatable insights and practical wisdom, she shows how the next generation can lead with heart while shaping the future with clarity and intention.
