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.

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 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! An Instruction Manual for Parenting” on our website geetagirl.com, Apple Podcast/iTunes, Spotify, and everywhere you listen to podcasts.

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).

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. In the first episode of this season, we talk about the complexities of doing your dharma and help answer the question, how do I know what my dharma is and how do I know if I am doing the right thing? Here’s the good news- Krishna wrote you a cheat sheet in the Bhagavad Geeta and we’re going to help break it down. Check out our first podcast of the season, “Geeta Girl Discusses Dharma Decisions Decisions Decisions!”

Is this your inner dialogue while you are meditating? “OMMM…OMMM….oooh, I think I’ll order Thai tonight…okay, back to the breathing…OMMM…OMMM…oh, and I need to remember to set a reminder to buy dog food…FOCUS!”. If this sounds familiar to you, don’t worry, you are not alone. From the unique perspective of the Geeta, we discuss why meditation is tough for many of us, and why you need to stick to it anyway. We discuss why it’s an essential tool in combatting your anxiety and perhaps, most importantly, in soaking up every bit of that Geeta knowledge.
Check out the last podcast in this latest season’s focus on combatting anxiety “Geeta Girl Discusses Free Your Mind and the Rest will Follow”.

Picture the person with whom you have the most challenging relationship. Do you have their image in your mind? (No judgment if you pictured them before you even finished reading the sentence.) Now what if you were able to make that relationship less difficult? Would your life be less stressful? In this podcast, we discuss Compassion Cultivation Training (CCT). Lavina Shamdasani, a student and teacher of CCT shares how to utilize this technique to see God in everyone. CCT is based on the belief that we are all born with innate compassion and tapping into that compassion for ourselves and others can take us one step closer to a life of happiness and less suffering. And who doesn’t want more of that. Listen to this podcast for practical tips on how to live a life with more compassion, empathy, and kindness - towards yourself and others.

Do you need to believe in God to have faith? Not necessarily, according to Krishna. Surprised? But you do need to have faith in the teachings of the Bhagavad Geeta. How do we build that faith? And what is the role of that faith in managing our anxieties? In this podcast, we outline the specific tips described in the Geeta to build our faith in God and in the teachings of the Geeta. It’s a lot simpler than you think. You just have to have a little faith.

“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.
