    The Connection Between Food, Karma and Holistic Healing you never knew with the Satvic Movement

    Think you know food, tradition, and ethics? Think again. What if everything you’ve been told about what’s on your plate, what’s part of your culture, and what’s ethical was just scratching the surface? In this episode of @SustainableTeaWithShreya host Shreya Ghodawat joins forces with @SatvicMovement to unravel the truth about plant-based diets, animal consumption, and the ancient wisdom that ties it all together. They’re also diving into: Can plants feel pain? Is eating animals part of our culture? Or just an old habit we need to reconsider?

    Acharya Prashant: Clarity, Courage, and Compassion

    Rationalist, spiritual leader, civil servant, and truth seeker, Acharya Prashant reveals the secret to finding happiness. In this episode of Sustainable Tea with Shreya, Shreya Ghodawat and  @ShriPrashant  explore why we’re stuck in an endless cycle of buying, consuming, and wanting more—and yet, we’re still not satisfied. We’re diving into questions we all struggle with: Can money buy happiness, or is it just a distraction from our higher purpose? Why does having “more” never feel like it’s enough? How do we break free from this endless pursuit of fulfillment through objects? And how is the climate crisis an extension of our own spiritual crisis? From confronting the messages that keep us trapped in consumer culture to exploring how self-awareness can transform the way we live, this conversation sheds light on the root causes of unhappiness and offers a path to something deeper, unpacking the uncomfortable truths behind humanity’s relentless pursuit of happiness and its impact on our present. We’re uncovering why we consume the way we do and what it takes to find joy in the simple, meaningful moments we often overlook.

    The Controversial Truth About Jesus That No One Talks About

    What does devotion mean to you? Is it an act of compassion, or can it take forms that inflict harm in the name of faith and tradition? In this episode of Sustainable Tea with Shreya, Shreya Ghodawat sits down with Kameron Waters, the filmmaker behind the eye-opening documentary Christpiracy. They navigate the complex and often uncomfortable intersection of faith, tradition, and ethics, unpacking one of the most controversial topics: animal sacrifice. They ask hard questions: Why do practices like animal sacrifice persist in modern times? How do cultures reconcile these rituals with the growing demand for ethical standards? And is it time to rethink what devotion means? This isn’t an easy conversation—it’s an unflinching look at the blood-soaked history of religious rituals and the moral dilemmas they raise in today’s world. Along the way, they also dive into the filmmaker’s journey, the backlash his work has faced, and the powerful message he hopes to amplify. Whether you're rooted in faith, an advocate for animal rights, or simply curious about how traditions shape modern values, this episode will challenge you to think differently and maybe even inspire change. 🎥 Don’t miss it.
