This week
Forgiveness is a Quiet Mind


True forgiveness isn’t denial—it’s the courage to see deeply into what happened and be transformed by it. Drawing from yoga philosophy, timeless wisdom, and stories of resilience, Kaustubha Das explores how forgiveness frees the mind, heals the heart, and restores spiritual focus.

“Forgiveness is not weakness—it’s the might of the mighty.” — Mahabharata


Kaustubha Das has a special way of making the teachings and practices of yoga very approachable and relevant. He is the Co-host of Wisdom of the Sages, a daily spiritual podcast which has been ranked #1 in the world on Apple Podcasts in the category of Religion & Spirituality. Between the ages of 21 and 34 he lived as a Vaishnava monk, traveling and studying in ashrams in India and America. He teaches bhakti-yoga philosophy and meditation, which he has practiced for nearly 40 years in the Gaudiya Vaishnava tradition.



Soul Talks

Explore the philosophy of Bhakti yoga, which is the spiritual practice of awakening our potential to love. In this weekly in-person gathering, our time together will include uplifting teachings, captivating wisdom, and inspirational stories. Weekly topics are aimed at helping us see ourselves, the world around us, and the Divine through a practical lens and a higher level of consciousness. Include in all classes are approachable examples on how to implement and practice the ancient Bhakti teachings in our everyday lives.

This program is geared toward those who are new or have no prior knowledge of Bhakti yoga. We will have music meditation to open the heart and clear the mind, a thematic talk, and time for questions and discussion at the end. Each program concludes with a free, vegan dinner.
