    Ep75. A Journey Into Presence - Meditation from Sivananda Bahamas

    Welcome to the Ask Sadhviji podcast! In this special guided meditation episode, recorded during Sadhviji's visit to the beautiful Sivananda Ashram in the Bahamas, you're invited to pause, breathe, and return to the peace that already exists within you. Through gentle guidance, Sadhviji leads you into a deeper experience of presence—helping you arrive fully in your body, your breath, and this moment. As thoughts arise and drift across the mind, you'll be invited to rest not in the stories, worries, or distractions they bring, but in the spacious awareness beneath them. Drawing on timeless spiritual wisdom, this meditation offers a simple yet profound reminder: we are not our thoughts, our fears, or our changing circumstances. Beneath it all is a deeper truth—a light of awareness that remains steady, whole, and untouched. The meditation concludes with the sacred prayer: "Tamso ma jyotir gamaya. Mrityor ma amritam gamaya." "Lead us from darkness to light. From the illusion of limitation to the truth of our eternal nature." Join Sadhviji for this peaceful journey inward and allow yourself a few precious moments to reconnect with stillness, clarity, and the light of your true Self.

    Ep74. Moksha, Meaning, and the Guru: Liberation, Purpose, and the Path Within

    Welcome to the Ask Sadhviji podcast! In this deeply reflective episode, Sadhviji explores some of the most profound spiritual questions about liberation, the purpose of human life, and the role of the Guru on the journey. The episode begins with an exploration of moksha—liberation—and whether it means the same thing for everyone. Sadhviji reflects on why some people feel a deep longing for liberation while others feel more drawn to the experiences of the world, offering insight into the soul’s unique journey and readiness. She then addresses the perspective that this human life is but a fleeting moment in the vast continuum of many lifetimes. In light of this, she shares what it truly means to live a life of significance—not in terms of external achievement, but through awareness, growth, and alignment with our higher purpose. The conversation also turns to the meaning of Guru—what a Guru truly is, why the presence of a Guru is so important on the spiritual path, and whether knowledge from books can fulfill that role. Sadhviji offers guidance on how to approach the search for a Guru, and how to recognize that guidance when it appears in one’s life. Finally, Sadhviji reminds us that the journey toward liberation is deeply personal, yet supported by grace, guidance, and sincere seeking. Tune in to hear reflections on these essential questions:  Does moksha mean different things to different people? Why do some of us desire it more than others?  If this life is just a brief moment among many lifetimes, what can we truly do of significance?  What does Guru mean, and why do we need a Guru? Can a book be a Guru, and how do we find true guidance? Join us for a contemplative and inspiring conversation on liberation, purpose, and the sacred relationship between seeker and guide.

    Ep69. Gyan That Heals: The Wisdom That Frees the Heart — Live from Boston Vedanta Study Circle

    Welcome to the Ask Sadhviji podcast! In this special live episode from Boston, Sadhviji shares a deeply moving satsang with the Vedanta Study Circle on the transformative power of gyan—true spiritual knowledge that heals from within. In this profound talk, Sadhviji explores how our deepest pain does not come from circumstances alone, but from misunderstanding who we truly are. When we are caught in patterns of identification, attachment, and limited thinking, we experience suffering as real and overwhelming. Through the light of gyan, Sadhviji reveals a different path—one in which knowledge becomes not just intellectual, but deeply experiential. This is the wisdom that dissolves confusion, softens emotional wounds, and reconnects us to our essential nature: whole, free, and untouched by life’s fluctuations. Drawing from the timeless teachings of Vedanta, she guides listeners toward a deeper recognition of the Self, where true healing arises not from changing the world around us, but from seeing clearly within. Join us for this intimate and illuminating conversation on the healing power of wisdom, and discover how true knowledge can bring peace, clarity, and lasting inner freedom.
