Join hosts Kamala Rose and Nischala Joy Devi as they explore Chapter 3 of the Bhagavad Gita through a feminine lens. In this episode, they delve into the often-overlooked themes of devotion, the ethic of care, and the unique wisdom women bring to spiritual practice. Through personal stories and thoughtful analysis, Kamala and Nischala reframe traditional interpretations of karma yoga, highlighting the importance of heart, compassion, and purposeful action in both ancient and modern contexts.

Key topics covered:

  • The distinction between the paths of knowledge (jnana yoga) and action (karma yoga)
  • The missing element of devotion (bhakti) in traditional interpretations
  • The ethic of care versus the ethic of justice in women’s lives
  • The role of women as nurturers and spiritual teachers
  • Understanding Samadhi (perfection) in everyday life
  • The interplay between spirit and nature, and honoring both
  • The importance of non-attachment without losing compassion
  • Ahimsa (non-harm) as a foundational principle for action
  • Reimagining karma yoga for modern women and communities

Tune in for a heartfelt and insightful conversation that brings new depth to the timeless teachings of the Gita.
