Discover Bhakti, the timeless wisdom of the self, love, and the means to achieve lasting happiness and inner fulfillment. At Exploring Bhakti we uncover the ancient teachings of Bhakti yoga — the yoga of divine love -- and uncover what Bhagavad Gita and Srimad Bhagavatam say about the true self, the nature of consciousness, the world, self-realization, peace, sacred love and how to reconnect with the Sweet Absolute in the joy of mutual loving exchanges, which brings the highest bliss. For beginners and seasoned seekers alike, we explore yoga philosophy in a practical way that’s inspiring and easy to connect with and can transform your life. We maintain the richness of the yoga tradition while presenting it in a simple, authentic, and accessible way. I’m Pranada Comtois.

   The Soul's Need for Spiritual Form and Emotion

   What would spiritual reality have to be like to fulfill the deepest nature of the soul? Bhakti Vedanta offers a striking answer: perhaps form, emotion, individuality, and relationship are not obstacles to liberation at all, but essential to the soul’s fullest expression. In this talk, Pranada explores the soul as an eternal, conscious, love-driven being and considers why love requires spiritual form, relationship, and an eternal place in which it can be lived. Liberation, then, is not simply freedom from suffering or the dissolution of individuality—it is the beginning of the soul’s fullest life.

   Easy Decision Making: 5 Spiritual Filters That Actually Work

   Do you ever feel stuck trying to make the “right” decision—overthinking, second-guessing, and still unsure what to do? In this episode of Exploring Bhakti, we explore a deeply practical and spiritual approach to decision-making using five powerful filters: motives, contentment, prayer, time, and surrender. This isn’t about finding the perfect choice. It’s about learning how to make decisions in relationship—so that whatever you choose becomes part of your path, not a mistake.
