Every year, I look forward to doing a special podcast on Ganpati Bappa because He represents intellect, wisdom, new beginnings, prosperity, and the removal of obstacles.

Every time I record a Ganpati podcast, I genuinely feel energized and positive for the entire year. And somehow, these episodes always become some of the most loved podcasts we do.

This year, we have a very special guest, Mandar Khaladkar Guruji, a Ganpati Sadhak and Vedic scholar.

We discussed the deeper meaning of Ganpati Tattva, the significance of Ganpati Sthapana and Visarjan, Ganpati’s connection with the Muladhara Chakra, and His references in the Vedas and ancient traditions.

This year’s conversation is very special, and I highly recommend everyone to watch it.

After watching, leave a comment saying: Ganpati Bappa Morya! 🙏❤️

I don't think I've had a more relaxing conversation on this show in a while.

Hans Dalal came back four years after his first appearance, and somehow this one felt even wilder. We talked about tigers and leopards showing up outside his house like it's completely normal, and stories from the forest that genuinely made my jaw drop more than once.

But what stayed with me most wasn't even about the animals. It was hearing him talk about the five seconds that changed the entire direction of his life, and how he built a career most people would've told him was impossible.

If you love wildlife, or you just want two hours that feel like a walk in the jungle instead of a podcast, this one's for you.

Thank you Hans, for reminding me how much life there is outside the city.

I've waited almost every week for the last two or three years to have him back in this studio.

Sri M and I first spoke five years ago, and so much of who I am today was shaped by that conversation, more than I think I've ever said out loud. This time felt different. Heavier in some ways, lighter in others.

We talked about things I've been sitting with for a while, chaos in the world, grace versus hard work, what actually happens when we die, and whether it's time for me to step back from all of this too.

He also told me something he's never said publicly before, and read me a letter I don't think many people have heard.

I don't think I've ever said this about an episode, but I know I'm going to watch this one back more than once.

Thank you, Sri M. For everything, not just this.

I've been sitting on this one for a while, and I think it might be the most personal vlog I've ever put out.

Some of you have been with me for 10 years now, and I think you deserve to see this side of my life too, not just the podcast, not just the work. This one's just... happy.

We chased masked dancers at the Hemis festival in the mountains, drove across one of the highest roads in the country, and somewhere along the way, I had a sunset moment I don't think I'll ever forget.

I'm still figuring out how much of my personal life I want to share here. But this felt like something worth being honest about.

Ladakh Vlog 2 is out now. Hope it makes you as happy watching it as I was living it.

I've been watching football for 25 years now, and it's basically the default setting in my brain at this point.

I got Drog Baba and YjR back in the studio, just days before the new Premier League season kicks off, and we ended up going way deeper than I expected for a "beginner friendly" episode.

Some of what we got into:
How I actually fell in love with football, and why it's easier than you think to do the same
The real psychological difference between how Barcelona fans and Real Madrid fans think
Why this transfer window might still have one or two crazy moves left in it
Our very biased predictions for who wins the league this year

If you've ever wanted to get into football but didn't know where to start, or if you've been watching for years and just want some proper nerdy analysis before the season begins, this one's for you.

Thank you Drog Baba and YjR, for making a random Thursday feel like matchday.

I've been sitting on this episode for a while because I think it might be one of the most important ones we've done for people in their 20s.

I'm 33, and I've genuinely never had a reason to see an endocrinologist in my life. Sitting through this conversation made me realise how much of that might just be luck, and how many small habits I don't even notice today could show up as real problems a decade from now.

We ended up covering things I didn't expect to learn about my own body, warning signs you can actually check for in the mirror, why a completely normal-looking body can still be hiding a hormonal problem, and a mistake almost all of us are making without even realising it.

If you're in your 20s and watching this, I mean it when I say pay attention. This is the one decade where you can still change the story.

Thank you Dr. Saptarshi, for making this conversation so real and so useful.

I didn't plan a single question for this one.

I sat down with Maa Gyaan Suveera and Bhavesh Bhimanathani, together in the same room for the first time, at a moment when the world genuinely feels heavy right now. I just wanted us to serve something to all of you, hence the name, Soul Food.

We ended up talking about things I don't usually share this openly, questions about destiny, about leaving the noise of the city behind, about why we even do sadhana in the first place. Somewhere in the middle of it, I found myself talking about my own trip to Jagannath Puri and a pull toward the sun I never expected to feel.

This is one of those conversations that leaves you a little different by the end of it.

Thank you Maa and Bhavesh Bhai, for trusting me with something this personal.

I've waited almost 10 years to meet Wim Hof in person, and today it finally happened.

Some of what stayed with me:
A breathing technique so simple I tried it live on camera and felt it change my head almost instantly
A very personal story about loss that quietly became his life's purpose
A moment where East and West agreed on something ancient without even trying to

I walked into this episode slightly unwell, and somehow that felt fitting. Some conversations ask something of you before they give you something back.

Thank you Wim, for one of the most special days this show has had.

I've had Ladakh on my bucket list for longer than I can remember, and I don't think I was prepared for how much it would move me.

There's something about standing in front of mountains that old that makes your problems feel impossibly small, in the best way. I kept thinking about how little I actually know, and how much this place has quietly held onto for centuries before any of us showed up.

What stayed with me most wasn't the sightseeing. It was the people, a home-cooked meal made with more warmth than I knew what to do with, quiet mornings with monks who've spent their whole lives searching for something I'm just beginning to understand, and long stretches of just sitting with someone I love, talking about what it means to grow together.

I don't think I've felt this humble and this grateful at the same time in a long while.

This is only the first half of the journey. There's a lot more of Ladakh still to come.

Thank you to everyone who opened their homes and their hearts to us on this trip.
