    Meditation, Spirituality & Naturopathy: Lessons on healthy living | Gurumaa Yogita Khatri

    We don’t have a knowledge problem. We have a problem of living what we already know. In Episode 92 of The Human Thread, Ashna Kalra sits down with Gurumaa Yogita Khatri, Yoga & Naturopathy Expert, Wellness Educator, Motivational Speaker, Honorary Member, CCRYN, Ministry of AYUSH, for a thought-provoking conversation on spirituality, discipline, meditation, health, parenting and the deeper connection between how we think and how we live. This isn’t a conversation about learning more. It’s about applying what we already know. We all know we should sleep better, exercise, meditate, eat well, spend less time scrolling and take care of ourselves. But knowing the right thing is only the beginning. Real change demands discipline, consistency and the willingness to make our own lives a priority. This episode explores how: • Spirituality becomes a mirror that makes us confront our ego, attachments, conditioning and contradictions. • Discipline creates consistency — turning intentions into habits and habits into transformation. • Change is inevitable, yet accepting real change can be one of the hardest things we face. • Meditation is not simply a practice we schedule; it is about bringing awareness into everyday life. • Lasting transformation begins from within and moves outward. • Children learn more from what they see than what they are told — making our own actions the most powerful form of teaching. • Naturopathy encourages us to reconnect with the body’s natural processes and understand health beyond simply treating symptoms. A conversation that goes beyond what we know to explore what we actually do with that knowledge. New episodes drop every Tuesday on YouTube and major audio streaming platforms.

    Shiva in Kalyug, Seven Immortals & Reincarnation | Akshat Gupta | The Human Thread

    The stories of Ramayana and Mahabharata have survived for thousands of years, but the emotions within them have never really changed. In Episode 92 of The Human Thread, Ashna Kalra sits down with Akshat Gupta, Author, for a wide-ranging conversation on mythology, immortality, dharma, faith, religion, reincarnation and the human nature hidden within our ancient stories. From the Seven Immortals and the possibility of immortality to the choices of characters in Ramayana and Mahabharata, Akshat explores how loyalty, love, anger, debt and belonging continue to shape human behaviour. He reflects on why these characters feel so relevant even today — because beneath the gods, kings and legends were emotions remarkably similar to our own. The conversation then moves into deeper questions around faith, religion and belief — how societies create structures around the divine, why human beings choose sides, and how mythology can influence the way we understand history and morality. Akshat also shares his perspective on Shiva and Kalyug, the significance of Naga Sadhus, ancient knowledge, spirituality, and a striking personal account connected to reincarnation and memories across lifetimes. At its heart, this episode is an exploration of what makes these stories timeless — not because the world has remained the same, but because human nature has. This episode explores how: * Ramayana and Mahabharata reveal the complexity of human emotions * Loyalty and indebtedness can shape the choices we make * Mythological characters were driven by emotions much like our own * The Seven Immortals represent one of the enduring mysteries of Indian tradition * Immortality goes beyond simply living for a long time * Faith and religion can represent very different ideas * Gods have been connected to ideas of order, structure and society * Shiva carries a particular significance as the world moves through Kalyug * Naga Sadhus represent a life of detachment and nothingness * Reincarnation raises questions about memory beyond a single lifetime * Ancient knowledge continues to challenge our understanding of what was already known * History, mythology and storytelling shape how we remember the past * The emotions that shaped these ancient stories continue to shape human beings today New episodes drop every Tuesday on YouTube and major audio streaming platforms.

    God, karma and the reality of suffering | Sanjeev Nayyar | The Human Thread

    Karma quietly shapes many of the experiences we struggle to understand, from recurring patterns and relationships to the choices that shape our future. In Episode 90 of The Human Thread, Ashna Kalra sits down with Sanjeev Nayyár, Astrologist, for a thought-provoking conversation on karma, past lives, astrology, soul purpose, free will and ancestral patterns. Together, they explore how karma may influence the experiences we encounter and how astrology can help us understand the deeper patterns behind them. This isn't a conversation about simply predicting the future. It's about looking at the deeper connection between our actions, their consequences, the choices we make and the purpose that gives meaning to our lives. From karmic alignment and remedies to soul food and ancestral karma, the episode explores ideas that challenge the way we usually think about destiny and personal choice. This episode explores how: Karma connects our actions with their consequences Past-Life Karma may influence experiences in the present Free Will gives us the ability to make choices within our circumstances Karmic Alignment can influence the way remedies are approached Astrology can offer insight into recurring patterns in life Soul Purpose can be different from material success Soul Food is connected to what genuinely fulfils us Relationships can carry interconnected karmic patterns Ancestral Karma may influence patterns across generations Generational Patterns can be understood through both spiritual and psychological perspectives New episodes drop every Tuesday on YouTube and major audio streaming platforms.

    Young girls talk about what success, love & happiness mean to them | Young Minds Series 2 - Part III

    Dreams can mean different things to different people. In this conversation, 18-year-old Anushka, Bhumee and Saloni open up about the lives they want to build, the choices they want to make and the world they want to see. We asked them about dreams, ambition and success. About the parents who shaped them, the sacrifices they made and what love and respect truly mean. About friendship, betrayal and trust. About education, independence and the expectations society places on young women. About beauty standards, equality and the changes they would like to see in the world around them. Their answers were honest. Sometimes bold. Sometimes vulnerable. And sometimes surprisingly thoughtful. But always their own. This conversation takes us beyond their dreams — into the way young minds understand identity, relationships, responsibility, freedom and the future they want to create. No scripts. No filters. Just young minds, speaking openly about life in their own words. Young Minds — Series 2, Part III | Episode 89 is now streaming on YouTube and all major audio platforms.

    These kids understand respect better than most adults | Young Minds Series 2 - Part I

    We often assume that childhood is simple. That children are too young to understand responsibility, judgment, respect or the struggles adults carry. But after this conversation, we’re not so sure. We sat down with children and asked them questions about the things many adults rarely stop to think about. What does respect really mean? Why do people judge us? What makes someone a good person? What does success mean? And when do you really start growing up? Their answers were simple. But the thoughts behind them weren't. They spoke about their parents’ sacrifices. About taking responsibility at home. About being teased for wearing glasses or looking different. About wanting to make their parents proud. About love, respect, money, success and the kind of person they hope to become. This conversation isn't really about children. It's about how we learn to see ourselves, other people and the world around us. And sometimes, the simplest answers make us question the things we thought we already understood.

    Astrology, destiny & free will: What really controls your future | Sundeep Kochar | The Human Thread

    Is your future written in the stars or can you change your destiny? In Episode 86 of The Human Thread, Ashna Kalra sits down with astrologer Sundeep Kochar to explore the deeper connection between astrology, destiny, free will, luck, timing, success, and personal choice.

Sundeep also explains why timing can matter more than talent, why a strong horoscope doesn't automatically guarantee fame or success and how changing yourself can create a shift in the way you experience your destiny. This episode goes beyond simple predictions to explore a deeper question: How much of our future is predetermined, and how much can we actually create? This episode explores: * Astrology and Destiny * Free Will vs Fate * Can You Change Your Destiny? * Horoscope and Future Predictions * The Role of Timing in Success * Luck and Opportunity * Astrology and Success * Fame and Recognition * Mindset and Personal Growth * Human Potential and Life Choices * What Is Really Within Our Control?
