The Bhagavad Gita vs Modern Spirituality | Dr Karishma Ahuja | The Human Thread 2026 | Episode 68

There’s a quiet frustration many of us carry. We’re doing the work. Setting goals. Visualising. Affirming. And yet… something doesn’t move. This episode sits inside that discomfort. Not to fix it. But to reveal it. Because maybe the problem isn’t your effort. Maybe it’s where that effort is coming from. In this conversation with Dr. Karishma Ahuja, we move beyond the surface of manifestation - into energy, into the subconscious, into the parts of you that were formed long before you had language for them. We speak about: • Why attachment quietly sabotages everything you want • How “staying positive” can actually disconnect you from yourself • The inner child that still shapes your confidence, your relationships, your decisions • And why forgiveness is less about others… and more about freeing your own energy There’s also a return - to something older, steadier. The wisdom of the Bhagavad Gita - where detachment isn’t withdrawal, but clarity. Where discipline isn’t force, but alignment. This isn’t an episode about getting what you want.
