SUMMARY:SIMPLICITY AFTER COMPLEXITY: THE MATURATION OF BHAKTI | The Free Radical Podcast # EP 74 — Vraja Kishor 7/15/26
DESCRIPTION:Join us on The Free Radical Podcast for a reflective and deeply human conversation with artist\, author\, Vaishnava scholar\, and astrologer Vraja Kishor. \nHaving joined ISKCON in 1990\, Vraja Kishor pursued formal studies at the Vrindavan Institute for Higher Education and spent several years immersed in devotional life and study. His path has also taken unexpected turns—most notably through his time with the Krishna punk band 108\, where he helped integrate devotional themes into alternative music culture. Alongside his spiritual and artistic work\, he has built a diverse professional background spanning software development and language teaching\, before dedicating himself fully to Vedic astrology. He is also a translator of key Vaishnava texts\, including work on the Bhagavad Gita\, four cantos of the Srimad Bhagavatam\, and ongoing translation of the fifth canto as well as the Yoga Sutras. \nIn this episode\, we explore themes drawn from his memoir Train Wrecks and Transcendence—including the arc of spiritual life\, relationships\, early enthusiasm and later grounding\, and the challenge of integrating depth with simplicity. The conversation moves through questions of responsibility\, devotion\, friendship\, family\, and the evolving relationship between rigidity and maturity on the spiritual path—arriving at a vision of wholeness that finds the profound within the ordinary. \nTune in for a thoughtful and open exchange that traces a life lived at the intersection of devotion\, creativity\, and lived experience. \non Youtube!

SUMMARY:THE TRANSFORMATIVE LIFE OF ETTY HILLESUM | The Free Radical Podcast # EP 75 — Patrick Woodhouse 8/5/26
DESCRIPTION:On this episode of the Free Radical Podcast\, we are joined by Anglican priest\, author\, and former Canon of Wells Cathedral\, Patrick Woodhouse. Our conversation unfolds through faith\, suffering\, and the possibility of transformation within life’s most difficult experiences. We discuss the search for meaning beyond fixed religious boundaries\, including the ways in which faith can emerge in unexpected forms and settings. \nMuch of the discussion is shaped by Woodhouse’s engagement with the life and writings of Etty Hillesum\, particularly through Patrick’s book Etty Hillesum: A Life Transformed\, alongside his work Life Transformed and Life in the Psalms: Contemporary Meaning in Ancient Texts (Bloomsbury). Through these texts\, he explores how ancient spiritual traditions and modern testimony can speak into questions that remain urgently present today: how to live with grief and tragedy\, how to understand hope without denial\, and how praise and lament can coexist within a single life. \nAt its heart\, this episode invites reflection on how Etty Hillesum’s witness\, along with the enduring voice of the Psalms\, continues to offer language for both despair and hope in a complex and unsettled world. \non Youtube!

SUMMARY:PUSTHI MARGA: SECRETS OF THE BLESSED PATH | The Free Radical Podcast # EP 76 — Krishna Kinkari 8/19/26
DESCRIPTION:In this upcoming episode of the Free Radical Podcast\, we sit down with Krishna Kinkari—author\, scholar\, devoted practitioner of the Sri Vallabh Sampradaya Pushtimarga tradition\, and a cherished elder whose life has been shaped by decades of spiritual study\, service\, and devotion. \nBorn and educated in London\, Krishna Kinkari journeyed overland to India in the early 1970s\, drawn by a deep longing to immerse herself in the sacred languages and spiritual traditions of the subcontinent. Under the guidance of her guru\, the late Sri Prathameshji\, she dedicated herself to the study\, transliteration\, and translation of devotional literature\, making more than twenty important scriptures accessible to English-speaking readers through her work in Sanskrit\, Hindi\, and Brajbhasha. \nHaving spent many decades living in Sri Vrindavan\, Krishna Kinkari now embraces a more contemplative rhythm of life centred on bhakti\, seva\, and the study of the saints and poets of Braj. Alongside her devotional pursuits\, she continues to support grassroots relief efforts serving some of Vrindavan’s most vulnerable residents. \nTogether\, we explore her remarkable spiritual journey\, the distinctive philosophy and practices of Pushtimarga\, its intriguing connections with other bhakti traditions\, her deep love for Braj\, and her special devotion to Sri Radha. Woven throughout our conversation are profound reflections on surrender\, service\, divine love\, and what it truly means to live a life dedicated to the sacred. \nThis is a warm\, deeply insightful\, and inspiring conversation with a practitioner whose life stands as a testament to the transformative power of devotion. \non Youtube!

SUMMARY:WHY MEN NEED TO BE INITIATED - AS MEN | The Free Radical Podcast # EP 78 — Deva Madhava 9/16/26
DESCRIPTION:In this upcoming episode of the Free Radical Podcast\, we sit down once again with dear friend and brother\, mentor\, author\, and Vaishnava creative Deva Madhava Das for a profound conversation on initiation\, masculinity\, and the spiritual journey toward wholeness. \nDrawing from years of experience building intentional spiritual community through the Harmony Collective in Michigan\, Deva Madhava explores the importance of rites of passage for modern men\, the role of elders and brotherhood\, and why initiation is not a single event but an ongoing process of transformation. Together\, we discuss the wounds and challenges many men carry\, the wisdom traditional cultures preserved around initiation\, and how authentic community helps shape integrated\, spiritually grounded human beings. \nThis conversation also touches on the unique spiritual strengths women bring into communal and devotional life\, the necessity of bearing witness to one another’s struggles\, and the sacred responsibility of growing into maturity with honesty\, humility\, and support. \nA rich and deeply human dialogue on tribe\, belonging\, spiritual formation\, and what it truly means to become whole. \non Youtube!
