Children learn faith not just from what parents teach, but from what they see parents do.

In this conversation, Naturopathy Expert Choti Guruma (Gurumaa) explains how a child can become confused when there is a gap between a parent’s religious practices and their behaviour outside the temple. What may seem like a small contradiction to an adult can deeply influence a child’s understanding of God, faith and spirituality.

A powerful reminder for every parent: children are always watching, learning and forming their own beliefs.

The question “Mujhse bada kyun?” reveals more about us than it does about the person we are comparing ourselves to.

In this conversation, Ashna Kalra sits down with Naturopathy Expert Choti Guruma (Gurumaa) for a deeper exploration of Arjun, questioning and the way we perceive ourselves.
The conversation reflects on how Arjun asked difficult questions — and why asking the right questions can sometimes matter more than having immediate answers.
From the feeling that there is a point we simply cannot reach, to the instinct to compare ourselves with someone who seems greater, the conversation explores the thoughts that shape how we see our own place in the world.
It also touches upon deeply human experiences like betrayal and grief, bringing the conversation from philosophical questions to emotions we all encounter in different forms.

A conversation about questions, perception and the things that quietly shape us.

What if you couldn’t travel to Pashupatinath in Nepal? There’s another Pashupatinath in India.

In Episode 91, motivational speaker Akshat Gupta takes us to Mansaur in Madhya Pradesh—a place associated with Mandodari, Ravana’s wife and a very different way of remembering Ravana.
In some areas, Dussehra is not celebrated because Ravana is believed to have been their son-in-law. The town is also home to a Pashupatinath temple, where the idol is said to be Swayambhu—believed to have emerged by itself.

A fascinating story where the Ramayan, local traditions and devotion come together.

Kalyug is not just another phase of time. It is the Yug of Shiva.

In this conversation, motivational speaker Akshat Gupta (Akshat Gupta) explores the deeper connection between the four Yugas and the Tridev—Brahma representing creation, Vishnu preservation and Shiva the final stage of destruction. He explains why the last Yug is associated with Shiva and why the growing inclination towards Shiva may not even be something people consciously choose. In Kalyug, he suggests, the pull towards Shiva is simply a reflection of the time we are living in.

“Mahabharat ghar mein mat rakho, kalesh hoga.” A belief many Hindu families grow up hearing.

In this conversation, Ashna Kalra sits down with motivational speaker Akshat Gupta (Akshat Gupta as he speaks about the beliefs we associate with the Mahabharata, Ramayan and spirituality. Drawing a parallel between sacred texts and the fear of keeping a matchbox or lighter at home, he offers a different perspective on how we understand these beliefs.

The conversation then moves to Naga Sadhus and why they have no reason to entertain those who come seeking something from them. From there, Akshat reflects on what happiness really means and why every person keeps running after something they have not received.

He also shares a deeply personal perspective on happiness, shaped by the pain of not being able to meet his son for the last 12 years. The conversation eventually turns to Shiva—not only as Bholenath, but through his fierce, raudra and warrior-like forms.

From belief and spirituality to happiness, longing and devotion, this conversation explores some of life’s most profound ideas through a deeply personal lens.
