Episode 12: Dr. Nandini Bhowmik
In this episode, Marydale Ma speaks with Dr. Nandini Bhowmik — Indologist, Sanskrit scholar, stage actor, author, and founder of Shubhamastu, a charitable trust led by women priests devoted to creating a more compassionate and equitable society. Born in Kolkata into a family deeply rooted in Kriya Yoga, Nandini Ma shares how her grandmother's early guidance, her father's journey into monkhood, and her own lifelong love of Sanskrit shaped a path of scholarship, service, and courageous reform. From pioneering women's priesthood in India to challenging caste and gender discrimination through sacred ritual, her story is one of devotion in action — and of a life in which, as she says, every act of honest work becomes worship. ✨ Full show notes and transcripts are available at: womensministryofkriya.org/episode-12 [http://womensministryofkriya.org/episode-12] ✨ About Our Guest: Dr. Nandini Bhowmik is an Indologist, Sanskrit scholar, and Associate Professor who has dedicated her life to both the study and the living of dharma. Born in Kolkata, India, Dr. Bhowmik is the founder of Shubhamastu and a pioneering priest whose unique approach to priesthood has grown into a genuine social reform movement — breaking down barriers of discrimination and expanding access to sacred ritual in ways that have earned her recognition across television, radio, academic institutions, and beyond. She is the author of four books, a contributor to numerous research journals, and a 25-year veteran of the stage as a theatre actor. Her life and ideology inspired the Bengali film Brohma Janen Gopon Kommoti, and she has been honored with awards including the prestigious Sera Bangali by ABP Ananda.

Episode 11: Yogacharya Nisha Pandey
In this episode, Marydale Ma speaks with Yogacharya Nisha Pandey about a lifetime of devotion shaped by the living presence of Paramahamsa Hariharananda. Born in Amritsar into a family steeped in prayer and pilgrimage, Nisha Ma shares the story of her first journey to Jagannath Puri as a young woman of 17, the extraordinary moment of her initiation, and the nearly 25 years she spent in close association with Gurudev — accompanying him on travels, receiving his personal guidance, and ultimately being entrusted with the orange scarf that would mark her as a Yogacharya. She speaks with deep tenderness about Gurudev's motherly love, his humor, his punctuality, and the way his presence made an ordinary house feel like a temple. She also reflects on her encounters with Mother Teresa, her discovery of Kriya techniques inscribed on the walls of the Potala Palace in Tibet, and how she continues to integrate her practice into the fullness of daily life. A quietly profound conversation about the guru-disciple relationship as living fire — one that does not end when the master leaves the body. ✨ Full show notes and transcripts are available at: womensministryofkriya.org/episode-11 [http://womensministryofkriya.org/episode-11] ✨ About Our Guest: Yogacharya Nisha Pandey was born in Amritsar, India and has been a seeker of truth from childhood. Her quest for spirituality brought her to Kriya Yoga in 1978, when she was initiated by Shri Gurudev Paramahamsa Hariharanandaji in Puri. She remained in close association with him, practicing under his guidance and unceasing love until 2002. Nisha Ma immigrated to Canada in 1998, and in 2017 became a Yogacharya under the guidance of Shri Guruji Paramahamsa Prajnananandaji. She has been teaching and initiating since 2018, and today serves the community in Vancouver with heartfelt dedication and love. 🙏 About the Podcast: Welcome to the Women of Kriya Yoga: Living in Joy Podcast — a gathering place for women walking the spiritual path.
