  • The Illusion of the Guru Marketplace, the Depth of True Seeking & the Price of Peace
    Jul 5 2025

    In this episode, Paramahansa Yogivah Giri reflects on the modern “marketplace” of spirituality, where seekers shop for gurus as if browsing brands of yogurt. He questions the sincerity behind the search for God and challenges the ego-driven approach that dominates today’s spiritual paths. “What kind of peace do you want?” he asks. “Do you want a peace that comes and goes when you command it, like a servant?”

    Yogivah Giri explains that the true path to realization demands humility, appreciation, and readiness to give up worldly desires. He draws from the Guru Gita and the life of Yogananda to illustrate what genuine surrender to a living guru means. Through intimate stories and powerful analogies, he emphasizes that enlightenment is not something to be acquired—“You’ve always been enlightened… you’re just a little sleepy.”

    The episode explores the real cost of peace, the myth of spiritual shortcuts, and how the guru-disciple relationship remains timeless and unchanging, even in a world full of distractions, cameras, and clever packaging.

    Jun 30 2025

    In this powerful talk, Paramahansa Yogivah Giri reveals how the spiritual path begins not with denial, but with the honest fulfillment of desires. He explains that only when desire has run its course can true detachment and clarity arise:

    “You can’t force renunciation. If a desire is there, it has to be fulfilled. Otherwise it will keep coming back in some form.”

    Yogivah Giri underscores the irreplaceable role of the true guru—not as a teacher to be followed blindly, but as a living presence that burns through illusion:

    “You will only know the true guru when your desire is pure enough to meet one.”

    Through personal insight and direct transmission, he shows how fulfilled desire naturally gives way to devotion and selfless service, where action is no longer driven by ego but offered in love. This episode invites listeners into a deeper honesty, surrender, and the grace of truly being guided.

  • The True Guru, Fulfilling Desires & the Foundation of Service
    Jun 29 2025

    In this episode, Paramahansa Yogivah Giri shares powerful insights on the necessity of fulfilling one’s desires before true spiritual transformation can occur.

    “You won’t know the authentic spiritual teacher from the fake spiritual teacher unless you experience that person.”

With clarity and humility, Yogivah Giri invites the listener to examine their true intentions, seek the company of realized beings, and trust the organic journey from want to wisdom.
