Ask Sadhviji

Welcome to the Ask Sadhviji podcast! In this special episode, Sadhviji sits down with renowned neurologist and bestselling author Dr. David Perlmutter to explore the science of brain health and the powerful role we each play in protecting our brains. Dr. Perlmutter joins Sadhviji to discuss his new book, Brain Defenders, and why the greatest threat to our brain health may not be something outside of us, but the choices we make every day.
Together, they explore the connection between metabolism, inflammation and the brain's immune system, including the role of microglial cells and how factors such as diet, blood sugar, exercise, sleep, stress and our environment can influence brain health. They also look at why protecting the brain isn't simply about preventing cognitive decline—it is about preserving our ability to think, remember, connect, meditate, create and fully experience our lives.
The conversation also opens a beautiful bridge between modern neuroscience and ancient spiritual wisdom. Sadhviji and Dr. Perlmutter discuss how our responses to stress affect the brain, how meditation and yoga can help change those responses, and how the choices we make today can quite literally help shape our future.
Tune in to hear them discuss:
 What are the brain's microglial cells, and why are they so important to brain health? 
 How do blood sugar, metabolism and inflammation affect the brain? 
 Why does protecting brain health need to begin decades before cognitive decline appears? 
 What role do diet, exercise, sleep and stress management play in defending the brain? 
 How does chronic stress affect the brain, and why does our response to stress matter? 
 Can meditation, yoga and spiritual practice help protect the brain? 
 Are our genes our destiny, or are we able to influence the future of our brain? 
 What can neuroscience teach us about karma, free will and the choices we make today? 
This is a powerful conversation about agency: the understanding that while we may have predispositions we cannot control, we also have an extraordinary capacity to influence the health of our brain through how we live, think, eat, move and respond to the world around us.
📖 Dr. David Perlmutter's new book, Brain Defenders, is available at BrainDefenders.com.
Join Sadhviji and Dr. Perlmutter for a fascinating conversation at the intersection of neuroscience, lifestyle and spirituality—and a reminder that we can each become the architect of our brain's destiny.

Welcome to the Ask Sadhviji podcast! In this deeply reflective episode, Sadhviji responds to heartfelt questions that naturally arise as we begin or deepen our spiritual journey.
The episode opens with an exploration of the nature of the Divine, inviting listeners to move beyond limited definitions and into a more expansive understanding of sacred presence.

Who is the Divine, and how can the sacred be understood beyond form and name?
Why do emotions and tears arise during or after meditation and chanting?

The episode begins with a reflection on modern parenting—what it truly means to raise conscious, grounded, and resilient children in today’s fast-paced and often overwhelming environment, and how values, presence, and example shape a child more than external conditions.

Welcome to the Ask Sadhviji podcast! In this deeply reflective episode, Sadhviji explores the emotional and karmic complexities of trust, betrayal, guilt, and the challenge of loving those we struggle with.
The episode begins by addressing the pain of broken trust—what it means when someone deceives or takes advantage of us, and whether we are still meant to hold compassion and goodwill toward those who have hurt us.
Sadhviji then turns to the subject of marriage and karmic connection, exploring whether relationships are bound by karma for life, and how to understand separation or divorce through a spiritual lens without guilt or judgment.
The conversation moves into the tender space of self-blame and regret, as Sadhviji offers insight into how to deal with guilt from not standing up for oneself in an abusive relationship, and how healing begins with self-compassion rather than self-punishment.
Finally, Sadhviji explores one of the most difficult spiritual practices: how to cultivate love toward those we feel aversion toward, and what it truly means to rise beyond emotional reaction into conscious awareness.
Tune in to hear reflections on these essential questions:
 If someone breaks your trust or makes a fool out of you, should I still think good of them? 
 Is marriage considered a karmic union for life? Does separation or divorce bring bad karma? 
 How do I deal with feelings of guilt for not standing up for myself in an abusive relationship? 
 How do I practice love for people I feel aversion towards? 
Join us for a grounding and compassionate conversation on trust, karma, forgiveness, and the deeper path of emotional and spiritual healing.

Welcome to the Ask Sadhviji podcast! In this special episode, Sadhviji sits down with internationally renowned stem cell biologist and bestselling author Dr. Bruce Lipton to explore the revolutionary ideas behind his new book, Beyond Darwin.
For generations, we've been taught that life is a competition—that survival belongs to the strongest, the fastest and the fittest. But what if we've misunderstood evolution all along? Drawing on the latest science, Dr. Lipton explains why cooperation, community and interconnectedness—not competition—are the true foundations of life.
Together, Sadhviji and Dr. Lipton explore the extraordinary meeting point between quantum physics and ancient spiritual wisdom, revealing how modern science is beginning to validate truths that the sages of India have taught for thousands of years: that consciousness shapes reality, that our thoughts influence our health and our world, and that we are far more powerful than we have been led to believe. 
Tune in to hear them discuss:
 Is "survival of the fittest" really how evolution works? 
 Why are cooperation and community essential for our future? 
 How do our thoughts literally shape our health and reality? 
 What can quantum physics teach us about consciousness, karma and reincarnation? 
 How does modern science confirm the timeless wisdom of Vedanta? 
 Why is changing our inner world the key to transforming our outer world? 
This inspiring conversation offers a hopeful vision for humanity—one that replaces fear with connection, competition with collaboration, and separation with oneness.
