Dad's the Boy

I’ve Been Teaching My Evaan a 5,000-Year-Old Lesson - He Finally Gets It


Listen Later

In the very first episode of Dads The Boy, Dhawal shares the raw, real story of teaching his son Evaan one of the most powerful ideas from the Bhagavad Gita — equanimity in action.

After years of watching Evaan struggle with losses on the racetrack, Dhawal breaks down a simple three-year progression that actually worked:

  • Year 1: Just show up
  • Year 2: Do your duty
  • Year 3: Stay equanimous — perform without being attached to the outcome

This isn’t theory. It’s what happened in the car after a brutal race loss, the “100 prompts” framework Dhawal used, and the breakthrough moment when Evaan finally got it.

A practical, grounded conversation about parenting, ancient philosophy applied to modern life, and why the Gita isn’t just for warriors — it’s for every parent and every kid who has ever “dropped their bow.”
