“What if God was one of us, Just a slob like one of us?” In her song “One of Us” Joan Osborne, wonders the same the thing so many of us do- who and what is God? In this podcast, we explore how the Bhagavad Geeta answers this question. Here’s a hint: God is not one of us, but in all of us. Check out our latest podcast “Geeta Girl Discusses Who and What is God Anyway?”

Did you know that Krishna invented the rave, the all night dance party? Krishna is a lover of joy and an important part of his teachings in the Bhagavad Geeta is how to experience true happiness. But how can we experience true joy if we are feeling anxious? Even before the pandemic, we have all felt moments (maybe a lot of moments) of fear and worry. In this third season, we will focus on how the Bhagavad Geeta is an epic therapy session from Krishna to Arjun (and us!) on how to deal with our panic attacks, anxiety, and fears. In this first episode of the season we talk about how we can let go of all of it.

What comes around goes around, right? We all know there is that invisible karma scale. If someone does something bad, then something bad will happen to them, right? And if that someone does something bad to us, well, we have a right to help tip that scale, correct? Get our revenge. Help even things out. Are you fantasizing about it right now? Well, stop! Because even thinking about it costs us some karma points. In the last episode of this second season, we will talk about how that scale gets balanced—the good deeds and the not so good ones. Spoiler alert: relax, the universe will take care of it, and take care of you.
This is our last podcast of the second season! Thank you to all of you who have listened and supported us through TWO seasons of the Geeta Girl podcast! We will be back in the fall and look forward to connecting with you all then. For those of you who want your Geeta Girl content sooner, we will be dropping a few videos on our social media in the months between so stay tuned (and be sure to follow us on social media - links below)

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.
