What happens when old spiritual traditions meet the needs of the modern world? In this session, we talked about how tradition and modern life can work together. With Nama and Stine, we explored how spiritual institutions are changing to connect with today’s audiences while still staying true to their roots.

We used simple examples - like how laws stay the same but society changes—to show the careful balance between keeping traditions authentic and updating them with compassion. We also looked at modern practices, like yoga, to show how spiritual teachings can stay relevant and easy for people to understand today.

When someone makes a mistake, do we hold them accountable or do we end up blaming everyone connected to them?We explore the narrative of King Dhruva, whose grief led him to unfairly target an entire race, and the tale of Daksha and Lord Shiva, where personal pride ignited widespread conflict. - the Śrīmad Bhāgavatam reminds us that anger spreads fast, and blame spreads even faster.But Bhakti wisdom invites us to pause, to respond with balance instead of overreaction, to take responsibility without unfairly condemning others. This episode challenges us to consider our own tendencies in moments of conflict: Do we cast blame too broadly, and are we mindful of how our actions ripple through our communities?Want 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/radhikadasLinktree: linktr.ee/radhika_dasa

In this episode of For Soul’s Sake, we explore the many layers of meaning within sacred texts like the Bhagavad-gītā. Far from being static rulebooks, scriptures are living conversations that evolve with us — offering new insights each time we return to them. Radhika reflects on how verses can shift from battlefield stories to inner battles, from instructions to transformations, and how the guidance of saints and teachers helps reveal depth without distortion. This is an invitation to let scripture not only inform you, but transform you — if you’re willing to listen with the heart.Want 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/radhikadasLinktree: linktr.ee/radhika_dasa

Can spiritual growth and material success truly coexist? Join us for a thought-provoking conversation with our friends Nama and Stine as we explore the often complex relationship between spirituality and ambition.

Together, we reflect on the tension between intent and attachment—challenging perceptions around spiritual leaders owning luxury items and contrasting the needs of charities versus businesses.

With light-hearted insights and grounded reflections, we examine how motivation and purpose—not possessions—define true simplicity. We also explore how success is redefined through a spiritual lens, emphasising its temporary nature and the deeper fulfilment found in clarity, humility, and connection—gifts bestowed by Krishna.

In this episode, we explore the role of a guru — not as a distant authority figure, but as a deeply personal guide on the path of transformation. It’s easy to think we can walk the spiritual journey alone, armed with books, podcasts, and inspirational content. But real growth often requires something more grounded, more relational.We talk about what a true guru is, what they aren’t, and why having guidance isn’t about surrendering your freedom — it’s about uncovering it. I also share a bit of my own story, the shift that happened when I met my teacher, and how that relationship continues to shape my journey.This one’s for anyone who’s ever wondered if they really need a guide… or if they’re ready to receive one.Want 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/radhikadasLinktree: linktr.ee/radhika_dasa
