Geeta Girl: Evolving Through the Bhagavad Geeta

Everyone loves to name drop Karma.  Karma has been the focus of poems, revenge fantasies, and even songs. This season, Geeta Girl breaks it all down for us. Check out this first episode to learn all about what karma is and how you can get more of the good kind. 

How do you deal when you do your very best and things still go wrong? What do you do when you have checked every box, dotted every “i”, and things still don’t go the way you hoped. At all. Whether it’s a work issue, a parenting issue, or a relationship issue, we have all been there. How do you deal with the resulting regret, disappointment, and guilt? Listen as we share the Bhagavad Geeta’s advice on what to do when things don’t go according to plan.

Geeta Girl host Sharmila’s son is an atheist?!? In this episode, Sharmila and her son Mohit (a recent college grad) discuss his atheism and how he feels about the teachings in the Geeta. Sharmila and Mohit also talk about the power of painful experiences - dealing with mental health issues, pressure, and difficult relationships and if having hope is helpful in facing adversity (the answer may surprise you). And what does the Geeta advise us to do when faced with this difficult  situation or  person?  Simply change our perspective and suck it up, or speak up and take action?? Their discussion is thought-provoking, honest, and humorous.

This is our last podcast of the season! Thank you to all of you who have listened and supported the launch of the Geeta Girl podcast! We will be back in January 2021 and look forward to connecting with you all then.

When facing a dilemma, do you sometimes think, “Oh Lord, what do I do now?” Well, the Bhagavad Geeta has the answer! The main theme in the Bhagavad Geeta is Dharma. What does dharma mean? It means your duty or your responsibility, or put simply, what on earth do I do now??

The Bhagavad Geeta discusses what to do, how to do it, and why you gotta do what you gotta do,  even when you feel like it is difficult or impossible.

Our guest on this episode is Ami Kantawala who joined us to discuss the dilemma her family faced with her husband as a front line health care worker during the COVID 19 pandemic. How do you know what your duty is? This is the question we ask in this podcast and discuss  Krishna’s advice in the  Bhagavad Geeta.

As a society, we are so goal oriented, right? My project at work needs to turn out a certain way, my children need to behave a certain way, my vacation needs to happen in a certain way, my life at age (fill in the blank) needs to be a certain way. But what if being goal-oriented is not the best way to achieve your goals? Join us and our special guest Dr. Shama Ahuja, an epidemiologist working on pandemic response efforts, as we discuss what the Bhagavad Geeta says about how to maximize your performance in pursuit of all your goals, and feel fulfilled at the same time.
