Great catching with our good friend, Hari-Kirtana Das in NYC. If you are curious about yoga philosophy and interested in discovering your path to deeper wisdom and lasting fulfillment check out the many resources, courses, and workshops on his website, hari-kirtana.com. Earlier this year, Larry and I had a blast discussing his own story and his super accessible study guide and gateway to wisdom, Journey into the Bhagavad Gita, on Episode 76 “Becoming Fearless with the Bhagavad Gita.” .kirtana

New Guys Talking Yoga podcast out now: Hari-kirtana das | Becoming Fearless with the Bhagavad Gita

Hari-kirtana Das — yoga teacher, spiritual mentor, and author of two books on yoga philosophy — delves into yoga philosophy and the teachings of the Bhagavad Gita, and shares how such ancient wisdom still relates to the challenges of modern life. An eighteen chapter dialogue between Krishna and the warrior Arjuna, the Bhagavad Gita is a story about following your dharma and being fearless in the face of life’s many challenges, by recognizing your essential nature and call to duty.

Additionally, the conversation touches on how individuals can find their unique paths in yoga, especially during times of identity crisis, to become fearless in the face of uncertainty. The themes of masculinity, fearlessness, and the transformative power of yoga as illustrated in the Bhagavad Gita are the backbone of Hari’s conversation with Derek and Larry.

With the launch of our fourth season, we’re psyched to announce Larry Milburn as the new co-host of Guys Talking Yoga. Larry is a filmmaker, the creator and host of the podcast Roadie Free Radio, a longtime yoga practitioner and experienced teacher in upstate CT, and the founder of Yoga for Dudes. He has great energy and we know he’ll help inspire more men to roll out their mats and change their lives.

We also spent the past months revamping the GTY website to become a resource for those looking to start and grow their yoga practice. At gtypodcast.com you’ll find access to past episodes via searchable categories, curated lists of recommended gear, books, teachers, and studios across the country, as well information about upcoming yoga workshops and retreats.

We’ve also launched a small merch store for those who want to support the podcast and Johnny Lama Yoga – a mission-oriented lifestyle brand focused on raising awareness for the practice of yoga among men.

Check it out and thanks for all your support these past four years.
