Geeta Girl: Evolving Through the Bhagavad Geeta

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

Oh, that trickly little tempter Anger. Anger has the power to make us lose reason. Say things we don’t mean. Lash out. Even make us feel temporarily powerful. Anger is a feeling familiar to most of us and sometimes hard to avoid. In our latest podcast we share the Geeta’s guidance on how to control our anger and not allow our anger to control us. Listen to this episode and then

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!

What is your duty or your dharma when it comes to dealing with the complainers, the hostile, the rude, the passive aggressive, or just downright aggressive people in your life? The not so great news? You will likely always have people who frustrate and disappoint you. But the Bhagavad Geeta’s gift to you is advice about when and how to deal with them and when and how to walk away

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 pu

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 n

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, writin

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.
