This podcast delves into the timeless wisdom of the Bhagavad Gita and other ancient traditions on the power of speech. It highlights six key principles for ethical and effective communication (ಸಂವಹನ): speaking truthfully (ಸತ್ಯಂ), pleasantly (ಪ್ರಿಯಂ), and beneficially (ಹಿತಂ), avoiding words that cause distress (ಅನುದ್ವೇಗಕರಂ), and cultivating self-study (ಸ್ವಾಧ್ಯಾಯ) and practice (ಅಭ್ಯಸನಂ). If one applies these principles, our speech is not just words but a profound tapas (ತಪಸ್). Through anecdotes and proverbs, the speakers reveal how words shape character, relationships, and society—creating either harmony or conflict. In today’s world of fast-paced, social media–driven communication, these principles are more vital than ever. The podcast encourages mindful expression, conscious word choice, and remembrance of the divine to purify speech and elevate daily interactions.
