  • EPISODE 4 IS OUT NOW!
    The energy of this episode is very different - we speak about the beautiful mix of the mind, the body and the soul.
    We’ve all read about the monk who sold his Ferrari, but today, we’re in conversation with the engineer who became a monk - Guru Gauranga Dasji, who found his calling after a life altering accident and then, went on to mentor digital icons such as Jay Shetty!
    After being invited to Govardhan - an eco-village that emulates his belief of slow living; he captivated us with every topic - from his switch to monkhood, his fascination with death, and his learnings from the Bhagavad Gita - we discussed it all!
    There's so much to learn and even more to ponder upon.
    So if you seek answers to questions like, "What's the purpose of life?" "Why do we compare?" and "What happens after death?" this episode is for you!
    “How The Hell Did I Do It?” is a Humans of Bombay Original - a talk show where we speak with the dreamers, the pioneers, the go-getters and the never-say-no’ers from all walks of life. We discuss their journeys - the highs, the lows and everything in between. And through our candid conversations, we try to decode the human behind the name, and get pretty close to figuring out - How The Hell Did They Do It?

    My son always says ' I don't care' when my daughter's talks comes up.
    ......and he is the who is her best friend, philosopher and guide. He won't sleep before my daughter is home (even if both me and my wife were long asleep)
    ....If we we ever have any difference of opinion with our daughter on anything.......the first person to defend her is my son.
    So blessed to have them both as my kids. God has been so kind.🙏

    Gauranga Das is a noble and a very pious soul. Very intelligent, well educated, articulate. Brilliant academic. Behind all this he has brought in to this janma ( his present birth) a baggage of abundant punyam. Unless you have very very deep belief in the *cycle of birth and death , the very BEDROCK of Sanathana dharma * u can NOT understand the emergence of a soul like that of Gauranga Das. Krishna Bhakti ripens through countless births. When a soul succeeds in completely eradicate all the desires of this material world and is steeped in Baghawan, liberation and immortality r assured.

    Ayurveda, Astrology, are sister sciences that support the souls journey on the path of Bhakti, (devotion). This self discovery, shows strengths and weaknesses, we need to balance, to understand our loving reciprocation, in service to the Adhipurusham....Sri Govinda. Monkhood means....to fall in love with God, whether we occupy either male or female mortal frame. The end of all journeys is love of God.
