Inner and outer journeys with Monisha Rajesh
Award-winning travel writer Monisha Rajesh reflects back on philosophical conversations she had over ten years ago with host Milan Samani before she made the bold decision to jump on a plane to India where she travelled the entire country by train that resulted in her first major book deal. She has since written a second highly acclaimed book ‘Around the World in 80 Trains’. Yet despite the outer success, Monisha gives an honest account of her inner struggles, and with the insights of our resident monk, explores ways to develop mental strength and express the mind’s creative and higher potential.

Courageous Heroic Fish
Inspirational life journey shared by Neha Broota as the Heroic Fish. Thanks for taking the courage to share the story alongwith intimate thoughts & feelings. The podcast touches the heart.
The story sparks within us with the element of hope and fruitful idea that there is a silver-lining in life after traumas. Given Neha’s inner self-unfoldment from divorce (commonly equated as traumatic as a near-death experience), she have beautifully and Dharmically “Made it happen” with Swami Swaroopananda’s spirit!
Wish you all the best with the next chapter of your life.
Change within us
Lovely casual discussion which is has been really insightful . This podcast really helps us to acknowledge our challenges, understand ourself through our experience and how to practically manage them. Shripriyaji, a monk supports and guides. She generously listens and is reassuring with our thoughts and feelings. A must listen. Thanks 🙏🏽
That heroic fish
Brilliant interview with interesting deep insights. If I can add my penny’s worth of an insight when I wanted to retire as a GP but couldn’t because I felt guilty that the money invested in my training by the public was now going to be laid to rest, Swami Swaroopanandaji asked me to continue until the guilt subsided. That brought me to my aha moment when I realised what a huge amount of doership I had ! I was merely an instrument in the hands of the Almighty for the fulfillment of the patient’s own prarabdha & exhaustion of my “doctor” vasana. It is as if God was now saying to me that that was all over now & it was ok to close that chapter & enter gracefully in the 3rd stage of life.
