Welcome to Season 4 of The Chela to Chela Podcast! This season features a special series on “Kriyabans & Covid” where we explore insights into the Covid journey as experienced by various Kriyabans as they endeavor to “live the life and serve the work.”
Join me with Gerd as we hear about his journey from worry and confusion to understanding and contentment… and how he plumbed the depths to understand his experience of the Covid Era from the highest truth.
Gerd’s sharing about his focused reflection on Brother Ishtanandaji’s admonition to be a Spiritual Realist holds many clues and references for us which we too can explore, consider, and perhaps utilize in our own journey.
And we are again reminded of what Brother Chidanandaji wrote in his Letter of October 2018; Brotherji writes:
“Never underestimate the positive effect of your spiritual efforts on your well-being, on those around you, and on humanity at large. Guruji said, ‘One who in every way tries to uplift himself, harmonizing body, mind, and soul with the Divine, creates positive karma not only in his own life, but in his family, neighborhood, country, and world.’”
I’m your host, Brenda Roberts. Join us now for another thought-provoking, soul-touching episode of Season 4 of the Chela To Chela Podcast, “Kriyabans & Covid.”
Jai Guru! Jai Ma!
It’s a wonderful life with Guruji in it!

Welcome to Season 4 of The Chela to Chela Podcast! This season features a special series on “Kriyabans & Covid” where we explore insights into the Covid journey as experienced by various Kriyabans as they endeavor to “live the life and serve the work.”
Unlike most of us during this Covid Era, Jean, as a direct support professional, has been a first responder for those with intellectual and developmental differences in the charitable community she directs.
While the outer Lila has been different, the challenges for us as disciples to “let go and walk in Faith” are clearly relatable as Jean shares how “humbling, heart-opening, and difficult” have been the color of her experience…like most of us!
Jean’s experience necessitated digging deep into her heart with Guruji and ultimately, once again, underscored her belief that “sharing love is important, and it is a healer.” You can hear more about Jean and how she found Guruji on the Chela to Chela podcast in S3E7 “Meet Jean W.”
In this episode Jean shares how the difficulties in the outer world showed her that the only stability is the ability to “let go and have faith and allow Guruji to flow through us, and provide for us, and give us the insight and the strength we need to do what we need to do.”
And we are again reminded of what Brother Chidanandaji wrote in his Letter of October 2018; Brotherji writes:
“Never underestimate the positive effect of your spiritual efforts on your well-being, on those around you, and on humanity at large. Guruji said, ‘One who in every way tries to uplift himself, harmonizing body, mind, and soul with the Divine, creates positive karma not only in his own life, but in his family, neighborhood, country, and world.’”

In this episode Shailesh shares how he experiences the Covid Era as a wonderful time Guruji has given for reflection, sadhana intensification, and personal transformation.
Making sure we do what we can now with this gift of time so we leave with no regrets has become his driving awareness and practical goal, and we are reminded of what Brother Chidanandaji wrote in his Letter of October 2018; Brotherji writes:

Bella is a twice-retired (and still working!) criminal defense lawyer ~ and has been a Kriyaban for 25+ years.
In Season 2 Bella shared her story with us of how she found Guruji. In this episode, listen as we explore with her the three words Bella gave to describe her overall Covid Era experience: Refining, Isolation, and Opportunities.
You are sure to find that it is yet another testimony of how Guruji gives exactly what is needed for the unfoldment of each unique disciple!

“I refuse to live in fear….”
If Blue was 50 years younger, she might have been called a “bliss baby.” But now, at 80, her faith and determination to own and manifest her joy in daily life is all the more poignant when you hear some of her back story at the close of our visit!
In Season 1, Episode 9 Blue shared how she found Master, and what her life was like before and after becoming a disciple. In this episode we learn how Blue endeavors to “live the life and serve the work” as she shares the core of her Covid experience with us.

Welcome to Season 4 of The Chela to Chela Podcast!
This season features a special series on “Kriyabans & Covid” where we explore insights into the Covid journey as experienced by various Kriyabans as they endeavor to “live the life and serve the work.”
In the informal chat episodes you will hear that each Kriyaban guest was a little surprised to have been asked impromptu to give just 3 words that described their overall experience of Covid.
Then you will come along with us as we travel an introspective journey of further exploration of why they chose those particular words, perhaps covering some of the challenges, changes, and elements taken to adjust … and of course, a powerful testimony as to what role Guruji and the practice of his teachings played in shepherding them through this Covid Era.
Each episode is uniquely inspiring and we are reminded of what Brother Chidanandaji wrote in his Letter of October 2018; Brotherji writes:
“Never underestimate the positive effect of your spiritual efforts on your well-being, on those around you, and on humanity at large. Guruji said, ‘One who in every way tries to uplift himself, harmonizing body, mind, and soul with the Divine, creates positive karma not only in his own life, but in his family, neighborhood, country, and world.’”

Although this interview was recorded in 2019, the insights of living with Guruji in Surrender, Faith, Forgiveness, Perseverance, and Devotion are timeless and especially relevant in today’s world, as attested to by Brother Achalanandaji in his Convocation talk “Cultivating Deeper Faith” (See it on the SRF YouTube Channel.)
Listen as Shailesh, a business owner of 40 years, shares how he has learned to spiritualize his professional and personal world.
We also talk about the lessons and blessings of hosting an SRF Circle for 20 + years. And you will hear what Shailesh feels is an important element for anyone just embarking on the path.

The interview with Jean once again points to the ever-living presence of Guruji to bless and change us.
After finding Guruji, Jean made a soul-searching leap from a high-profile position in Corporate America to following her heart in the nonprofit sector. While on pilgrimage to India, she told Swami Smarananandaji about her desire to serve the homeless. Jean shares with us Swamiji’s incisive and compelling response which continues to be pivotal for her… and thought-provoking for us.
Jean also talks about the impact of being a caregiver in the final stages of her aunt’s life, and of the ever-present love and support of Guruji in times of uncertainty. Listen as she shares the major life lesson for her in this incarnation…perhaps you will relate!
