For Soul’s Sake

Episode #135: Stop Trying to Make Your Family Spiritual!

For Soul’s Sake

Show Notes

When your spiritual journey transforms your life, it’s natural to want to share it with the people you love. But when does sharing become preaching? And how do we honour someone else’s spiritual journey without trying to change them?

In this episode of For Soul’s Sake, we explore Bhakti, Krishna consciousness, spiritual growth, devotional service, and relationships, and why compassion may be more powerful than trying to convince someone to follow our path.

We also explore the story of Prahlad and Hiranyakashipu, and what it can teach us about loving someone who refuses to change.

Invite, don’t convince.

What makes a relationship truly meaningful?Whether we’re single, dating, married, raising children or navigating friendships, relationships shape so much of our lives. But Bhakti offers a different perspective on love: rather than asking what can this relationship give me?, we can ask, how can we help one another grow closer to Krishna?In this episode, we explore love, marriage, family and parenting through the lens of Bhakti, drawing on the Bhagavad Gita and Srimad Bhagavatam. We reflect on shared spiritual purpose, selfless service, patience, forgiveness and the power of leading by example.Because when Krishna is at the centre, a relationship can become more than a partnership. It can become a pilgrimage.Produced by: Sunni Sharma and Viraj Limbachia Filmed by: Filmwork Studios Edited by: Hannah BrownWant to connect further?Instagram: www.instagram.com/radhika_dasa/Facebook: www.facebook.com/radhikadasmusicYouTube: www.youtube.com/c/RadhikaDasWebsite: www.radhikadas.comPatreon: www.patreon.com/radhikadasKomi: radhikadas.komi.io
