About this listen

In this insightful episode, Dr. K. Giridhar Gopal explores a timeless human dilemma—why do expectations, even well-meaning ones, often lead to disappointment, frustration, and sorrow?

Drawing from psychology, personal experience, and ancient Hindu wisdom, the episode uncovers the emotional chain of Expectation → Frustration → Sorrow. Through powerful scriptural examples—from King Dasharatha’s heartbreak to Karna’s inner turmoil—you’ll discover how even the noblest expectations can weigh us down.

Featuring teachings from the Bhagavad Gita, this episode invites you to reflect, release, and replace expectations with peaceful intention.

🎧 Listen in to lighten your emotional load and find peace in surrender.
