Welcome to a stirring conversation with the renowned Kirtan teacher, Govind Das. We stroll together down his memory lane, starting from the birth of Kirtan in his yoga classes in the 90s, through to its meteoric rise in the West. A spiritual journey that's filled with warmth, wisdom, and a deep appreciation of Kirtan's transformative power on both individuals and communities.
Parenting, particularly in a spiritual context, brings with it a unique set of challenges. Govind Das shares his perspective on allowing kids to chart their own spiritual paths and the importance of instilling spiritual values. Can a community share in this crucial task? We navigate this tricky terrain while also considering the potential for an even wider embrace of Kirtan in our Western societies.
In the realm of Bhakti yoga, love and compassion hold court. We take a deep, introspective look at relationships from a spiritual perspective and underline the critical importance of keeping our hearts open to all. When we keep revisiting certain conversations, perhaps through podcasts, there is a valuable opportunity for spreading these significant messages far and wide. Join us for this soulful dialogue, packed with heartfelt stories and nuggets of wisdom on spirituality, parenting, and the potent force of love.
