  • What is God? | Radhika Das, Keli Woods & Nāma
    Oct 28 2024

    We challenge the modern narrative of being self-made, pondering instead the role of divine grace and community in our life's journey. Our exploration takes us through the complex relationship between personal spirituality and the divine, using the analogy of individual souls as waves in an all-encompassing ocean. We reflect on the similarities between humans and the divine, and contemplate the unique characteristics of Krishna as a personal deity. Unexpected parallels arise, such as an encounter with a famous drag queen that sheds light on our understanding of divine personalities. Join us as we navigate through these reflections, considering how they challenge our perceptions of love and self-love and question the dynamics of true love in its fullest form.


    The journey continues with personal stories and reflections on divine presence across different cultures and religions, emphasising sincerity and devotion in spiritual practice. Finally, we recount a transformative experience of surrender, where letting go in meditation opened a portal to divine bliss. Through these tales, we invite you to reflect on your own encounters with the divine and the role they play in your spiritual awakening.

  • Beyond the Surface | Radhika Das, Keli Woods & Nāma
    Oct 14 2024

    Embark on a spiritual journey with us and special guests, Keli Woods & Nāma, as we promise to reveal the timeless qualities of a truly spiritual person. Drawing insights from the Bhagavad Gita, we explore how genuine spirituality transcends appearances and focuses on perceptions and interactions with the world. Join our lively discussions filled with humorous anecdotes and insights, challenging the stereotypes of spirituality while emphasising authenticity and personal expression.


    Ever wondered if you need to be flawless to hold others accountable? We tackle this provocative question as we share a personal experience of witnessing inappropriate behaviour. This sparks a heartfelt conversation about the struggle between personal growth and addressing uncomfortable situations. We navigate the complexities of ethical growth, pondering whether we must conquer all our vices before encouraging others to improve. It's a thoughtful exploration of courage, accountability, and the shared journey of self-improvement.


    Dive into the intriguing world of spiritual discernment and self-control as we examine how mundane actions can serve a higher purpose. Inspired by a fascinating example of a business funding a spiritual temple, we explore the themes of sacrifice and control of the mind and senses. This episode encourages introspection on how such self-control forms the resilience needed to face life's challenges.

  • Money and Spirituality | Radhika Das, Keli Woods & Nāma
    Oct 7 2024

    Can one truly find spiritual fulfilment while pursuing financial wealth? We dive into the intricate relationship between spirituality and financial gain. Organising spiritual events like kirtans often requires significant resources, and with this comes the challenge of maintaining one's spiritual integrity amidst the demands of economic realities. Is it possible to hold on to the purity of renunciation while navigating the lure of money? We explore this tension by reflecting on Vedic teachings that suggest comfort can hinder spiritual liberation, and we touch upon the idea of manifestation — aligning thoughts and actions without attachment to results.


    In the final leg of our discussion, we reflect on the spiritual lessons learned from the act of decluttering, be it toys or unnecessary material possessions. A story about Prabhupada illustrates how significant fulfilment can come through loss and simplification. This episode is a deep inquiry into the essence of true wealth and invites you to think about your contributions to the world. Through personal anecdotes and heartfelt appreciations, we inspire listeners to consider the balance between financial and spiritual well-being, the role of service, and the grace that comes from giving without expecting anything in return.
