    Our guest today is Nikhil Taneja, the founder and CEO fo Yuvaa, the purpose-driven media company for the youth of today. Nikhil is a trailblazer - an entrepreneur, media superstar, writer, creator, speaker and teacher.


    Very early in his life, he became a leading force within Karan Johar's Dharma Productions. He led the Dharmatic Productions, with streaming and digital shows - way before they became popular!

    But at his peak, he decided leave the entertainment world to take care of his mental health. He realized his true purpose was to inspire and guide the youth of today. Becoming an inspirational teaching force and building Yuvaa for inspirational content for the youth of today to value mental health, Nikhil is now living a purpose-driven life.


    He speaks on his mental health journey, what the youth of today should value, spirituality, how he learned from his hurdles, why he doesn't think of the future anymore and what guides him.

    This one is like an entry and open book from Nikhil's journal. Let's be mindful, introspective and enter with an open-mind!

  • Ami Ganatra: Wisdom from Indian Mythology NOW
    May 22 2023

    Our conversation today is with the bestselling author, Ami Ganatra. Her bestselling books 'Mahabharata Unraveled' and 'Ramayana Unravelled: Lesser known Facets of Rishi Valmiki's Epic,' swept the globe with unique perspectives and analytical gems on the ancient Indian epics.

    As a student of Sanskrit, yoga practitioner and lecturer on ancient Indian epics and wisdom, Ami has provided clarity, context and nuance to the ancient Indian wisdom and texts.

    For the youth of today, her books have become guides to understanding the heritage and what to take away and practice from these texts.


    She chats with us about the deepest questions regarding the wisdom and stories - why did Rama make the decisions he made? How is Krishna's life journey something we can learn from? How was history recorded then? Do we look at these texts as history or religion? What are the life lessons for us in our daily life? How do we remain critical of them ?

    She goes into it all! And as always, she speaks on her own spiritual journey, finding meaning and her life mantra!

    Join us in meditating, listening, learning and reflecting with Ami Ganatra NOW!
