Unlike a typical Question and Answer session, where certainty is often the goal and answers are something we can pocket and carry with us, satsang is not about finding definitive answers. Instead, it invites us into open exploration, allowing space for discovery rather than finality. And while the setting may appear as teacher and student, as you will witness when participating, we are all fellow explorers, sharing in this journey to discover and embody our truest selves.

PROCESS POP-UP: Evolution in Divine Love
2026-01-28 20:00 - 21:00 (America/New_York) | Zoom, United States
Swami Padmanabha will be offering a presentation to his latest book, “Evolution in Divine Love,” organized by the Process & Faith Community.
In this talk, he’ll explore a relational vision of reality in which the Divine and everything in existence exist in a living paradox—distinct yet inseparable—held together by love and wonder. From this perspective, God is not static or closed, but open, responsive, and deeply involved in the unfolding of life.
He’ll also touch on how suffering fits into this picture, not as something willed or explained away, but as part of a dynamic process where love works persuasively rather than through control. This also invites a renewed understanding of tradition itself.
If you’re curious about spirituality as a living process—you’re warmly welcome.
🗓 Wednesday, January 28
⏰ 5:00–6:00 pm PST

Poets, Protest & The Power of Sacred Song | The Free Radical Podcast # EP 64 — Bali Rico 2/18/26
2026-02-18 10:00 - 11:30 (America/New_York) | YouTube
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.
Born 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.
A 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.
This 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.

Awakening From The Mechanical Self | The Free Radical Podcast # EP 65 — Theodore Nottinghan 3/4/26
2026-03-04 10:00 - 11:30 (America/New_York) | YouTube
Enter into a sacred conversation at the crossroads of ancient wisdom and living awakening.
In 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.
Together, 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.
This 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.
If your heart longs for depth, authenticity, and the quiet fire of inner transformation, we invite you to step into this sacred exchange.

The Living Heart Of The Srimad Bhagavatam: A Journey into Its Essential Current
2026-03-09 14:00 - 15:30 (America/New_York) | YouTube
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 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.
For 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.
Beginning March 9, we will start a weekly journey into the Living Heart of the Srimad Bhagavatam. Rather than a merely linear reading, we will trace its “silver thread”: the essential current of divine love flowing through all twelve cantos. We will 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.
You are warmly welcome to join live via Zoom (access info in flyer). If you cannot attend, each session will be uploaded weekly to my YouTube channel.
Let us not simply study the Bhagavatam—but learn how to read it from the inside out.

The Feminine Heart Of Love | The Free Radical Podcast # EP 66 — Bhakti Lalita Devi 3/18/26
2026-03-18 10:00 - 11:30 (America/New_York) | YouTube
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.
A 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.
Now 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.
In 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.
We invite you to enter this contemplative dialogue — a meeting of hearts, a meditation in conversation, an ongoing dance with reality itself.

POETRY, PRAISE & THE ALCHEMY OF GRIEF | The Free Radical Podcast # EP 67 — Rosemerry Wahtola Trommer 4/1/26
2026-04-01 10:00 - 11:30 (America/New_York) | YouTube
Join us for a deeply moving and quietly evocative conversation on the Free Radical Podcast with award-winning poet, teacher, and speaker Rosemerry Wahtola Trommer. A lifelong writer and co-host of Emerging Form, Rosemerry has been devoted to the daily practice of poetry since 2006—a steady ritual that became a lifeline following the loss of her teenage son in 2021.
In this intimate and expansive episode, Rosemerry opens a doorway into her creative path, her daily poems from A Hundred Falling Veils, and her audio series The Poetic Path. Drawing from her celebrated collections All the Honey and The Unfolding, and her work as Poet Laureate for Evermore, she invites us into the subtle terrain where grief softens into wonder, where language becomes a bridge, and where the ordinary shimmers with quiet revelation.
Together, we wander through questions of how to live and create in the face of the unknown—how to listen more deeply, to trust what unfolds, and to meet life with a courageous, open heart. This is a conversation that moves like a current beneath the surface, weaving loss and beauty, vulnerability and presence, into something both tender and enduring.
Tune in, take a breath, and step into a space where poetry becomes a way of being—and where each moment holds the possibility of meaning, connection, and quiet transformation.
