Have you ever had a family member that you couldn’t get along with? A relative who was, um, difficult? Most of us are no stranger to family conflicts. In this podcast, we invite Karen Passalacqua, a Family Constellation Facilitator, to help us discuss how we can deal with the inevitable family conflicts that come our way in a more constructive manner, creating positive karma for ourselves (and more peace in our lives).

If the system of karma works, why do some people seem to be getting away with doing bad stuff? Does Hinduism allow us to ignore the difficulties of others and say “not my problem, it’s their karma”? And whose karma is to blame for COVID? We discuss these and other difficult questions in this episode. This podcast is an enlightening conversation between Sharmila and her dad, her first Geeta teacher. She asks him all the tough questions about karma we all want to know and listen as he shares the non-sugarcoated truth.

Geeta Girl host Sharmila’s son is an atheist?!? In this episode, Sharmila and her son Mohit (a recent college grad) discuss his atheism and how he feels about the teachings in the Geeta. Sharmila and Mohit also talk about the power of painful experiences - dealing with mental health issues, pressure, and difficult relationships and if having hope is helpful in facing adversity (the answer may surprise you). And what does the Geeta advise us to do when faced with this difficult situation or person? Simply change our perspective and suck it up, or speak up and take action?? Their discussion is thought-provoking, honest, and humorous.
This is our last podcast of the season! Thank you to all of you who have listened and supported the launch of the Geeta Girl podcast! We will be back in January 2021 and look forward to connecting with you all then.

When facing a dilemma, do you sometimes think, “Oh Lord, what do I do now?” Well, the Bhagavad Geeta has the answer! The main theme in the Bhagavad Geeta is Dharma. What does dharma mean? It means your duty or your responsibility, or put simply, what on earth do I do now??
The Bhagavad Geeta discusses what to do, how to do it, and why you gotta do what you gotta do, even when you feel like it is difficult or impossible.
Our guest on this episode is Ami Kantawala who joined us to discuss the dilemma her family faced with her husband as a front line health care worker during the COVID 19 pandemic. How do you know what your duty is? This is the question we ask in this podcast and discuss Krishna’s advice in the Bhagavad Geeta.

As a society, we are so goal oriented, right? My project at work needs to turn out a certain way, my children need to behave a certain way, my vacation needs to happen in a certain way, my life at age (fill in the blank) needs to be a certain way. But what if being goal-oriented is not the best way to achieve your goals? Join us and our special guest Dr. Shama Ahuja, an epidemiologist working on pandemic response efforts, as we discuss what the Bhagavad Geeta says about how to maximize your performance in pursuit of all your goals, and feel fulfilled at the same time.
