In this rich and heartfelt conversation, Jai sits down with Harish Bharadwaj—yoga teacher, Vedic scholar, and lifelong spiritual practitioner—for a deep dive into the foundations of yogic philosophy. Together, they explore the Four Paths of Yoga—Bhakti (devotion), Karma (selfless action), Jnana (wisdom), and Raja (meditative discipline)—and how each offers a doorway into spiritual maturity and personal evolution.

Harish also shares practical insights into karma as a force that shapes our lives through intention, action, and consequence, and how conscious living helps transform karmic patterns. The episode culminates with a discussion of Patanjali’s 8 Limbs of Yoga, illuminating how these timeless principles guide us toward liberation, ethical living, and deep inner stillness.

This episode is a must-listen for anyone seeking to connect more fully with the heart of yoga—not just as physical exercise, but as a complete spiritual path rooted in ancient wisdom and personal responsibility.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• The essential distinctions between the four main yogic paths
• How karma operates in daily life, and how to shift from unconscious reaction to conscious action
• Why the 8 Limbs of Yoga remain relevant in today’s fast-paced world
• Reflections from both Jai and Harish on integrating philosophy with modern practice

Whether you’re new to yogic philosophy or looking to deepen your current practice, this conversation offers clarity, context, and heartfelt guidance.
