A good part of Chapter 1 in the Bhagavad Geeta is Arjun making excuses for why he doesn’t want to engage in battle with his ne’er-do-well cousins. He makes excuse after excuse for why he can’t do what he knows he has to do. Will it really do any good? They are my family- I can’t stand up to them! It will be bad for my karma if I do something! Sound familiar?
In this podcast, we break down all the excuses we make to not do our duty. We discuss how we can stop making excuses and just do the right thing. Arjun had to take on his battles, and so do we.

You’ve heard parents complain that kids don’t come with an instruction manual (despite shelves of books at your local bookstore that try to fill that gap). In this podcast, we break down the ultimate parenting guidebook. The Bhagavad Geeta may not break down the healthiest snacks for kids or the best video games for your teen but all the advice you need to raise kids without pulling your hair out? Yup, it’s full of that. Check out our latest podcast, “Geeta Girl Discusses Finally! An Instruction Manual for Parenting” on our website geetagirl.com, Apple Podcast/iTunes, Spotify, and everywhere you listen to podcasts.

Are you teen? Do you have a teen? Were you a teen (though you may want to forget)? If so, you’re going to want to listen to this podcast. We discuss balancing competing priorities, dealing with peer pressure, managing growing responsibilities, and, of course, why does everyone’s social media life look better than mine? (Hmmm, maybe this podcast isn’t just for teens). And to no one’s surprise, the Geeta holds some answers. Sharmila and Shaila take a backseat in this podcast and invited some very special young people to lead the discussion and share questions and examples from their own lives. If you have a teen in your life, we encourage you to listen to this podcast together.

In this podcast, we discuss defining and following through with your own unique dharma or responsibility. That means doing the hard stuff even if you don’t want to. Standing up for what is the right (despite the naysaying). And following through with your responsibilities without worrying about the outcome. So focus on taking action and not on the results- like canvassing, writing postcards, phone banking, talking to friends, voting! And if things don’t go the way you hoped, you know what you have to do. Your dharma. Again (and again).

On this next season of the Geeta Girl Podcast, we focus on Dharma. Dharma in its most simplest definition is your duty. However, it is far more complex. It is doing the right thing at the right time given the context of your situation. In the first episode of this season, we talk about the complexities of doing your dharma and help answer the question, how do I know what my dharma is and how do I know if I am doing the right thing? Here’s the good news- Krishna wrote you a cheat sheet in the Bhagavad Geeta and we’re going to help break it down. Check out our first podcast of the season, “Geeta Girl Discusses Dharma Decisions Decisions Decisions!”

Is this your inner dialogue while you are meditating? “OMMM…OMMM….oooh, I think I’ll order Thai tonight…okay, back to the breathing…OMMM…OMMM…oh, and I need to remember to set a reminder to buy dog food…FOCUS!”. If this sounds familiar to you, don’t worry, you are not alone. From the unique perspective of the Geeta, we discuss why meditation is tough for many of us, and why you need to stick to it anyway. We discuss why it’s an essential tool in combatting your anxiety and perhaps, most importantly, in soaking up every bit of that Geeta knowledge.
Check out the last podcast in this latest season’s focus on combatting anxiety “Geeta Girl Discusses Free Your Mind and the Rest will Follow”.

Picture the person with whom you have the most challenging relationship. Do you have their image in your mind? (No judgment if you pictured them before you even finished reading the sentence.) Now what if you were able to make that relationship less difficult? Would your life be less stressful? In this podcast, we discuss Compassion Cultivation Training (CCT). Lavina Shamdasani, a student and teacher of CCT shares how to utilize this technique to see God in everyone. CCT is based on the belief that we are all born with innate compassion and tapping into that compassion for ourselves and others can take us one step closer to a life of happiness and less suffering. And who doesn’t want more of that. Listen to this podcast for practical tips on how to live a life with more compassion, empathy, and kindness - towards yourself and others.

Do you need to believe in God to have faith? Not necessarily, according to Krishna. Surprised? But you do need to have faith in the teachings of the Bhagavad Geeta. How do we build that faith? And what is the role of that faith in managing our anxieties? In this podcast, we outline the specific tips described in the Geeta to build our faith in God and in the teachings of the Geeta. It’s a lot simpler than you think. You just have to have a little faith.
