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.

It’s not just our computers that require updates, even our personal Operating System (OS) needs constant updating. How you operate determines the Karma you create. In this podcast, we learn about three modes of operation: Sattvic, Rajsic, and Tamsic. These are three ways of behaving that impact our Karma. Listen to learn how we can all update our OS to create our best Karma.

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.

Do your best and leave the rest. Live each day with a feeling of equanimity. Meditate. We know all the things we need to do but how do we start? And what if we start but one day we don’t quite do our best (and definitely don’t leave the rest). How do we push through the frustration of not getting it perfect each day? First off, stop being so hard on yourself! Change is not linear and we all take a stumble or two (or ten) backwards on our journey of growth. In this episode, we share tips from the Geeta on how to start incorporating good habits in your life and how to get back on that path when you veer off.

It can be a do-over, a second chance. It’s a mystery. An incentive to do better. It can make you fearful or hopeful. It can bring a sense of peace. In this podcast, we discuss reincarnation. Does our behavior in this lifetime impact the next? Do our souls reunite with the souls of loved ones in our next life? Join us as we discuss this cycle of birth and death.

I deserve it! We have all had that thought before. I worked hard therefore I deserve the promotion. I studied hard so I deserve to get into that college. Maybe you thought, I messed up, so I deserve the punishment. But what do we really deserve? In the Geeta, Krishna reminds us that we only have a right to the effort and no right to the result. No one deserves anything – not the good fortune or the bad. The only thing you have a “right” to is the effort itself and not the outcome. If you can't impact the outcome, you may wonder why bother trying? Krishna says that no effort is ever wasted. No matter the outcome, you always learn, grow, and evolve from doing your best. And you deserve that.

Listen to this episode and then tell Anger who’s boss.

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!

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).
