Find Your Ultra

Welcome to a super special episode of the Find Your ultra podcast. 

Today, you’ll meet Dr Vrindavan Chandra Das, who lived a typical city dweller’s life until his curiosity about life’s purpose, meaning, contentment led him down the path of Spirituality.

He got introduced to Bhagwat Gita, and since then he has made it his life’s mission to take Bhagat Gita’s message to the world. In the process, he ended up serving as the head of Isckon India for over two decades.

He then went on to establish Gaurannga institute for Vedic education, which is an NGO dedicated to teaching and spreading the age old wisdom of India which is captured in Bhagwat Gita.

Dr VrindavanChandra Das is a an author, a speaker and a teacher, known for his forthrightness and his commitment to his life’s mission.

In this conversation, we spoke about Spirituality, Science, education system, Happiness and contentment and a host of other things.

Whatever your beliefs are about all these things, I urge you to listen with an open mind right till the end because;

Find your ultra podcast episode 46 brings you an overdue installment out our special feature ‘What’s been up’ featuring Biplab Mukherjee. And this time, we called the national champ, Binay Sah over as well.

It’s a short episode so we didn’t go deep into anything. It was a quick catch-up, but even that was enough to bring out some hilarious stories of Binay’s national record of 100 miles at The Hell race, Border ultra last year.

We also spoke about Biplab’s #75hard challenge, and the substantial vitality he has been able to achieve on his Instagram in recent times. We tried to learn the secret formula, his work process and learnings.

This episode is a real chill pill. A break from the usual long and deep conversations. It’s awaiting your indulgence. Enjoy!

Welcome back to the show.

Today I’m speaking with Faizi Khan. If you’ve been at running events, I’m sure you would have seen her hosting and anchoring various events and award functions. But if you don’t follow her on social media, I’m pretty sure there are so many things about her that you don’t know.

I was honestly blown away by the volume and variety of work that she has done. Go check out her website, linked below.

Faizi is a speaker, a writer, an author, a runner, a coach and she’s a storyteller, there are just so many aspects to her and even this description I’m pretty sure will not be approved by her as she does not like being boxed. In fact, she’s also written and performed a poem about this on national television (linked below).

And so, without further ado, here’s Faizi Khan and me in the Find Your Ultra Podcast, episode 45, indulge away!

It's undeniable that we all grapple with the ebbs and flows of feelings. We experience a ton of emotions everyday, and quite often we don’t know how to manage them or even make sure they don’t make us do anything stupid.

Experts say that all emotions are important, because they’re all signals that we need to learn to decode in order to stay balanced, and create conditions for thriving.

Today’s conversation is just about that. It’s about learning to navigating our internal landscape, understanding the nuances of our emotions, and developing emotional intelligence.

Our today’s guest, Shivam is the author of two self-help books that are titled -

‘How to unleash your true potential’.

And the second one is called

Trail running Is very different from Road running. Although it’s still one foot in front of the other, trail running offers a profound connection with nature. 

Unlike the predictability of pavements, trails offer dynamic, ever-changing, terrain, turning each step into an adventure.

Beyond physical challenges, it provides a mental escape, a rhythmic meditation of sorts. It’s a holistic experience that not only builds endurance, but also fosters a deep appreciation for the beauty that exists beyond concrete jungles.

But we live in a concrete jungle. That’s the reality. There are no trails here, right?

Well, turns out that’s not true. This city is blessed with some gorgeous trails. We just need to know where they are, and how to safely navigate them.

Welcome to episode 43. Today, we’re hearing from Kshitish Purohit, who’s a tech entrepreneur and a trail runner actively striving to turn Delhi into a trail running Haven. He has co-founded Capital trails, which has become one of the largest trail running communities in India. He’s also the national representative for ITRA, which stands for International trail running association. So, what are the nuances of trail running? what do these guys see when they head out to explore? What are they doing to grow this community. How can we organize races that attract the likes of Killian, Jim Walmsley, and Courtney Duwalter. 

It’s a super fun and informative conversation, and so without further ado, let’s dive right in this is Me and Kshitish Purohit in the Find your Ultra podcast, episode 43. Indulge away.

Welcome back to the show! 

You’ve tuned into Episode 41 which is a conversation with a former Ad-man. 

In my view, advertising folks are some of the smartest people around. They’re keen students of human behavior, they always have a finger on the pulse of culture and they consistently demonstrate a unique blend of intelligence, innovation and adaptability. 

If you’ve been exposed to the world of advertising agencies, you’d know exactly what I’m talking about.

Today’s guest though, is not just a student of human behavior but also of a student of life, and I guarantee you’ll fall in love with his poetic expression.

In this conversation, we discuss his adventures in Bharat Darshan to his profound love for Hindustani poetry, technology, the intricate dynamics of social media, and the looming threats and opportunities of Artificial intelligence.

But here's the real kicker – if you stick around till the end, you might just discover the key to finding your 'ultra' in the most unconventional words. It's a journey filled with insights, laughter, and numerous TIL moments.

And so without further ado, here's the amazing Anand pandey and me in the find your ultra podcast episode 41. Indulge away!

Today’s guest is someone who was going to be the first guest on The Find Your Ultra Podcast. But when we started recording in December last year, he was already on his annual ritual of his month-long Vipassana meditation Retreat.

I’m talking about Madhur Daga, better known on instagram as The DagaSaga. Madhur is the Managing director of a 700-crore company. He’s an amateur endurance athlete, who can be seen pounding the pavement on the roads around central Delhi in the early hours of the day. Madhur has finished numerous marathons and half marathons, an Ironman 70.3, and the world’s highest ultra marathon - The Khardungla challenge.

For me, what’s most inspiring is to see him rise early and be out there hustling every single day, and also to see his discipline when it comes to nutrition, as he shared all of this on his instagram.

But recently, something shocking happened. Despite living most aspects of his life by the book, Madhur was recently diagnosed with a heart condition. Him, and all his well-wishers including me, were in a state of disbelief. But Madhur decided to turn this life event into a period of learning. He worked with the best of doctors, he educated himself about his condition, and a lot more. He’s now on a mission to educate people about heart health, and believes that if he shares this knowledge, lives can be saved.

This message is super important and so we’ve divided this episode Into two sections - Section 01 is where we talk about heart health, and this is the part that I request you to watch watch/listen till the very end.

Section 02 is about - Madhur’s life. All the things that you want to know about the Daga Saga. If you ask me, this is an episode world listening start to end, but again, if you’re pressed for time, please pay attention to section, at the very least.

And so, without further ado, here’s the Daga Saga and Me in the Find Your Ultra podcast episode 40, indulge away!

Welcome to this special episode with my friend Nishant Bhardwaj. Nishant is so many things:

1. He’s an Ironman Triathlete among the faster ones from India. He’s also the founder & coach at Trifantry

2. He’s also the host of the Trifantry podcast, Senior

Corporate leader

& a professor at SPJain college

3. He’s also a Tedx & Keynote speaker & soon to be Author.

Nishant came over to Delhi for this conversation and we had a great time getting to know the lesser known aspects of each other’s life experiences. We loved it, and I’m sure you will too.

So, Without further ado, here’s Nishant Bhardwaj and Me and the find your ultra podcast episode 39, indulge away.

Welcome back to the show, you guys! In today’s episode you’re about to meet one of my favorite guests ever. You’re about to meet Susan Hunt. Susan is an Australian, living in Delhi for the last 15 years. She took to endurance sports way back, and finished an Ironman Triathlon in 1991, in about 12.5hrs. She has run multiple ultra distance runs including the MDS, She has done some serious adventure racing, some open water swims, a lot of skiing, a lot of climbing and she’s been to the top of Mount Everest.

Susan is now 66, she’s fitter than most people half her age, and she has a ton of amazing things that she’s training for.

I loved meeting her and recording this episode, she’s bold, she’s fun, and she’s super nice. I can’t wait for you to listen to this beautiful, enriching, and inspiring conversation.
