Show Notes
This episode we explore Krishna subduing Kaliya from the Śrīmad Bhāgavatam - where the Yamuna is poisoned and Krishna enters it directly to purify it from within.
We reflect on what “inner poison” looks like in modern life - ego, envy, habits, and conditioning - and how real transformation isn’t about avoidance, but conscious confrontation with grace.
Through stories, philosophy, and reflection, we discuss how Krishna’s response shows that divine love doesn’t stay distant from chaos - it enters it, transforms it, and restores it.
A conversation on bhakti, humility, inner change, and learning to see life’s challenges as purification rather than punishment.

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
