SUMMARY:The Living Heart Of The Srimad Bhagavatam: A Journey into Its Essential Current
DESCRIPTION:For many years\, I’ve had the joy of sharing studies on our Gaudiya Vaisnava scriptures\, both in English and Spanish. In recent times\, my focus has shifted more toward thematic explorations rather than walking through specific books verse by verse\, though those sacred texts have always remained the foundation beneath every topic. \nFor some months now\, however\, I’ve felt a renewed inspiration to return directly to my beloved Srimad Bhagavatam—our scripture par excellence in the Gaudiya tradition. With the loving insistence of several noble souls\, that inspiration has taken shape. \nOur journey into the Living Heart of the Srimad Bhagavatam takes place every Monday. Rather than a merely linear reading\, we trace its “silver thread”: the essential current of divine love flowing through all twelve cantos. We explore key verses and sections in their context\, engage larger narrative arcs\, address challenging or controversial passages\, and uncover the many layers of meaning that ultimately converge in the Bhagavata’s central revelation. \nYou are warmly welcome to join live via Zoom (access info in flyer). If you cannot attend\, each session is uploaded weekly to my YouTube channel. \non Youtube! Swami Padmanabha – YouTube \n

SUMMARY:The Feminine Heart Of Love | The Free Radical Podcast # EP 66 — Bhakti Lalita Devi 3/18/26
DESCRIPTION:In this heartfelt episode of the Free Radical Podcast\, Swami Padmanabha sits in sacred conversation with Bhakti Lalita Devi (Goh Diwajnavi) — teacher\, author\, and pilgrim of the heart within the Gaudiya Vaishnava lineage. \nA devoted disciple of Srila Bhaktisundar Govinda Maharaj\, the Acharya of Sri Caitanya Sarasvat Math\, she spent nearly two decades in India in intimate service to her Gurudeva\, acting as his personal correspondent secretary and absorbing the subtle currents of devotion that flowed through his presence. In 1996\, in a gesture both tender and revolutionary\, her guru offered her the sacred saffron brahmachari cloth — a first for a woman in their lineage — and bestowed upon her the name Bhakti Lalita Devi\, sealing her life in dedication to divine love. \nNow residing in Chiang Mai\, Thailand\, she moves between continents as a quiet emissary of grace — encouraging hearts\, steadying faith\, and sharing the inner culture of bhakti-yoga as a living\, breathing path of transformation. \nIn this episode\, we explore the feminine heart of bhakti — its softness and strength\, its surrender and sovereignty. Bhakti Lalita Devi speaks of her journey with her Gurudeva\, of life in sacred community\, of love as service\, and of devotion as an ever-unfolding revelation. What emerges is not merely philosophy\, but a transmission — a glimpse into a spirituality that is relational\, embodied\, and deeply personal. \nWe invite you to enter this contemplative dialogue — a meeting of hearts\, a meditation in conversation\, an ongoing dance with reality itself. \non Youtube!

SUMMARY:Awakening From The Mechanical Self | The Free Radical Podcast # EP 65 — Theodore Nottinghan 3/4/26
DESCRIPTION:Enter into a sacred conversation at the crossroads of ancient wisdom and living awakening. \nIn this luminous gathering on the Free Radical Podcast\, Swami Padmanabha welcomes author\, mystic\, and Fourth Way teacher Theodore Nottingham for a meeting that feels less like an interview and more like a recognition between kindred souls. With over four decades devoted to the inner path—and author of more than 30 books\, including The Spiritual Origins of the Fourth Way: Reuniting the Lost Fragments of a Sacred Teaching—Theodore brings the depth of a lifetime steeped in Christian mysticism and the transformative fire of conscious practice. \nTogether\, they wander into the holy terrain of mystery: the trembling edge between fear and intimacy\, the sacred ache for the Divine\, and the courage it takes to truly see oneself. From the stillness of self-observation to the living current of presence and attention\, this dialogue invites us to remember what has been forgotten—to gather the scattered fragments of ancient traditions and rediscover their shared\, radiant source. \nThis is not merely a discussion\, but an invocation: a call to return to the roots of spiritual life\, to embrace the unknown\, and to walk the pilgrim’s path with sincerity\, vulnerability\, and wonder. \nIf your heart longs for depth\, authenticity\, and the quiet fire of inner transformation\, we invite you to step into this sacred exchange. \non Youtube!

SUMMARY:Poets\, Protest & The Power of Sacred Song | The Free Radical Podcast # EP 64 — Bali Rico 2/18/26
DESCRIPTION:In this episode of the Free Radical Podcast\, Swami Padmanabha sits down with renowned Vaishnava musician\, author\, and sincere seeker Bali Rico for a wide-ranging and deeply human conversation. \nBorn in the United States to Colombian parents\, Bali spent his formative years living in ashrams in the sacred land of Mayapur\, West Bengal—immersed in the sounds\, stories\, and devotional traditions of ancient India. He is a co-founder of the kirtan group Mayapuris\, whose distinctive sound is shaped by Bali’s innovative and dynamic mridanga playing. \nA lyricist\, multi-instrumentalist\, academic\, and hip-hop artist\, Bali weaves rhythm and philosophy with personal reflection. His work holds protest and prayer side by side\, giving voice to grief\, devotion\, and the search for meaning. In this warm and expansive conversation\, they explore music and kirtan as communal practices\, the experience of growing up in a religious family\, the inner shifts of fatherhood\, hip-hop as a confessional spiritual language\, and the shaping of a mature\, integrated spiritual path. \nThis conversation is an invitation—to listen deeply\, to reflect honestly\, and to explore how spirituality can be lived in dialogue with the fullness of everyday life. \nAfter you have watched the episode\, if you feel touched or inspired\, please like\, share\, and subscribe\, and join the ongoing conversation in the comments. \non Youtube!

SUMMARY:The Eternal Becoming of God\, Soul\, and Matter | The Free Radical Podcast #50 — Fr. Richard Rohr
DESCRIPTION:In this intimate and inspiring episode\, Swami Padmanabha meets with renowned Franciscan friar and contemplative teacher Richard Rohr at his hermitage in New Mexico. Breaking his own tradition of first-time guests\, Swami invites Rohr back for a second appearance—an occasion marked by warmth\, spontaneity\, and deep spiritual exchange. \nTheir conversation\, woven through a series of symbolic gifts\, explores the core themes of Swami’s new book\, Evolution in Divine Love: the eternal becoming of God\, soul\, and matter\, and love as a dynamic\, unfolding reality. They reflect on the dance of the divine\, collective grief\, and the vision laid out in Rohr’s recent book The Tears of Things. \nTopics include the importance of training prophets to lovingly critique their own traditions\, the need to confront systemic evil rather than scapegoat individuals\, and Swami’s personal experiences with rites of passage under Rohr’s guidance. The result is a rich\, contemplative dialogue—both deeply personal and cosmically expansive. \nVideo Premiering \nJuly 16th\n10AM EDT\n \non  YouTube!

SUMMARY:Evolution in Divine Love | The Free Radical Podcast #49 — Robert Nicastro
DESCRIPTION:In this special episode of The Free Radical Podcast\, Swami Padmanabha is joined by theologian\, teacher\, and writer Robert Nicastro\, whose work explores the intersection of religion\, science\, and artificial intelligence. As Executive Director of the Center for Christogenesis\, Nicastro builds on the vision of Teilhard de Chardin\, advancing an integrated understanding of spirituality and science for a planet in transformation. \nThe episode coincides with the upcoming launch of Swami Padmanabha’s third book\, Evolution in Divine Love: The Eternal Becoming of God\, Soul\, and Matter. Together\, they explore the book’s central themes—love as an evolving force\, a divine being in dynamic expansion\, and the implications of this vision for soul and matter. They discuss how both human identity and material reality are part of an unfolding process\, where changelessness and change coexist in divine love’s ever-deepening expression. \nSwami and Robert reflect on the potential of this evolutionary vision to reshape our understanding of God\, consciousness\, and the future of religious thought\, inviting listeners into a conversation that is both intellectually bold and spiritually nourishing. \nVideo Premiering \nJuly 2nd\n10AM EDT\n \non  YouTube!
