  • Vijnana (Conviction)

    Practicing shravana (belief), manana (faith), and nididhyasana (trust) in our life helps us deepen our reflection and transforms our belief into unwavering conviction, or vijnana. Adapting our thoughts, words, and actions with this deeper understanding can help us create peace in our lives.

These discourses are from our Parenting Culture community, a space for seekers striving to be better in their caregiving responsibilities through the practice of self-development.

  • Buddhi (Understanding)

    In this season of Live Vedanta, we are sharing insights on Courageous Caregiving through Vibhishana Gita. Understanding ourselves through svadhyaya (self-study) leads us to nurture empathy for ourselves and others, which helps us be fully present through our body language, attention, and prioritization. Buddhi (understanding) fosters fearlessness through giving us the strength to leave our comfort zone. This helps us engage in proactive understanding, in turn minimizing misinterpretation, and strengthening our personal growth and parenting.

  • Dana (Generosity)

    In this season of Live Vedanta, we are sharing insights on Courageous Caregiving through Vibhishana Gita. When we have gratitude for all that we have and do not have in our lives, it leads us to practice dana (generosity). This fosters daya (grace), which in turn makes life easier and more gracious for ourselves and those in our lives. Join us in exploring how Rishi Shuka explains how material wealth should be distributed and how to move from giving resources, to our time, to our effort.

  • Santosha (Contentment)

    In this season of Live Vedanta, we are sharing insights on Courageous Caregiving through Vibhishana Gita. This episode will dive into embracing responsibilities without anxiety or blame by practicing santosha (contentment) through having a cheerful attitude and embracing the lightness that comes from doing what is right, regardless of outcomes. Accepting choiceless cheer with grace will lead us to become grateful, faithful, and ultimately peaceful.

  • Virati (Independence)

    In this season of Live Vedanta, we are sharing insights on Courageous Caregiving through Vibhishana Gita. When we are engaged in conflict with those we are close to, virati (independence) acts as a shield. This shield is built by recognizing that true joy cannot be found externally, avoiding labeling, embracing detachment, and depending on Divinity.
