For Soul’s Sake

In this episode of Soul’s Sake, Radhika Das explores the Vedic understanding of ghosts, spirits and the soul’s journey beyond the physical body. Drawing on the Bhagavad Gita and Srimad Bhagavatam, he shares how attachment and unresolved desires may keep a soul from moving forward, and how sacred sound and chanting the holy names of God can offer spiritual benefit.

Perhaps the deeper question isn’t whether ghosts exist, but whether we, too, are holding on to the things that keep us spiritually stuck. This is an invitation to reflect on death, cultivate Divine remembrance and learn to let go while we are still here.

Because the greatest preparation for death is not fear, but remembrance.

When your spiritual journey transforms your life, it’s natural to want to share it with the people you love. But when does sharing become preaching? And how do we honour someone else’s spiritual journey without trying to change them?

In this episode of For Soul’s Sake, we explore Bhakti, Krishna consciousness, spiritual growth, devotional service, and relationships, and why compassion may be more powerful than trying to convince someone to follow our path.

We also explore the story of Prahlad and Hiranyakashipu, and what it can teach us about loving someone who refuses to change.

Invite, don’t convince.

What makes a relationship truly meaningful?Whether we’re single, dating, married, raising children or navigating friendships, relationships shape so much of our lives. But Bhakti offers a different perspective on love: rather than asking what can this relationship give me?, we can ask, how can we help one another grow closer to Krishna?In this episode, we explore love, marriage, family and parenting through the lens of Bhakti, drawing on the Bhagavad Gita and Srimad Bhagavatam. We reflect on shared spiritual purpose, selfless service, patience, forgiveness and the power of leading by example.Because when Krishna is at the centre, a relationship can become more than a partnership. It can become a pilgrimage.Produced by: Sunni Sharma and Viraj Limbachia Filmed by: Filmwork Studios Edited by: Hannah BrownWant to connect further?Instagram: www.instagram.com/radhika_dasa/Facebook: www.facebook.com/radhikadasmusicYouTube: www.youtube.com/c/RadhikaDasWebsite: www.radhikadas.comPatreon: www.patreon.com/radhikadasKomi: radhikadas.komi.io

Can you go to the temple after eating meat? What if you’ve been drinking, smoking, or simply don’t feel “pure” enough?

In this episode, we explore the tension between spiritual standards and compassion. We discuss whether people need to be perfect before entering a sacred space, the difference between guilt and shame, and how genuine spiritual practice can gradually transform our habits and consciousness.

Through personal stories, the teachings of Srila Prabhupada, Bhagavad Gita, and the story of the hunter Mrigari, we ask a deeper question: Should we judge people by where they are, or welcome them for where they’re trying to go?

Does becoming serious about spirituality mean leaving behind your career, money, success, and responsibilities?

In this episode, we explore how the Bhagavad Gita offers a different path: not escaping our work, but transforming it into an offering to Krishna. Whatever we do and whatever we offer can be offered to Him. Bhakti isn't about withdrawing from the world - it's about bringing Krishna into the world we already inhabit.

Our work, wealth, talents, and success don't have to compete with spiritual life. When offered in service, even an ordinary workday can become worship.

What happens when an ancient devotional practice like Kirtan moves from intimate spaces to concert halls and huge audiences?

In this episode of For Soul’s Sake, Radhika Das, Stine, and Nama explore the balance between Kirtan, performance, devotion, and accessibility. Radhika reflects on his journey from small gatherings to thousands of people, and whether Kirtan can remain a sincere offering to Krishna while being shared on a larger scale.

They discuss the importance of intention, humility, music, and consciousness, the relationship between Kirtan and Japa, and what it means to enter a Kirtan space not simply to attend, but to serve.

When we think of spirituality, we often think of meditation, prayer, or pilgrimage - but what if one of the most transformative spiritual practices begins in the kitchen?

In this talk, we explore the Bhagavad Gita's profound teaching that food is more than nutrition. The consciousness, intention, and devotion behind how it's prepared can shape our own consciousness. Discover why offering food to Krishna is central to the Bhakti tradition, why prasadam is far more than a vegetarian meal, and how every meal can become an act of remembrance and devotion.

00:23 – Why food is a spiritual practice

02:02 – What the Bhagavad Gita teaches about offering food

We explore how life in this world is always changing - relationships, circumstances, and even our own minds—and because of that, obstacles are inevitable. The real question isn’t why they appear, but how we respond to them in a way that keeps us steady and connected to what is permanent.

Drawing from teachings in Bhakti Yoga and reflections from Radhanath Swami, we look at the principle of keeping the heart fixed on the permanent while dealing with the temporary according to time, place, and circumstance.

Through the life of Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu, we see how even the Divine faced obstacles yet responded with purpose, compassion, and surrender. We also reflect on Haridāsa Ṭhākura, who remained steady in chanting despite criticism, showing how obstacles can become part of spiritual growth when met with the right consciousness.

Ultimately, this episode invites us to see obstacles not as setbacks, but as reminders to refocus, refine our intention, and keep Krishna at the center of everything we do.
