Spirit Matters: A Bhakti Center Podcast
Listen to previously recorded episodes with Dayal and guests as they discuss ancient spiritual teachings in a modern context. Spirituality can be integrated into every aspect of our daily lives to help us achieve peace, fulfillment and clarity. But it requires regular self-assessment, thoughtfulness, self-acceptance, forgiveness, and a little bit of humor in order to do so successfully and sustainably. Episodes are available to listen wherever you get your podcasts. Please rate and review the podcast if you enjoy it, and we look forward to discussing spirit matters with you.

Dayal Gauranga has been on a spiritual journey his entire life, seeking truth from a young age. At the age of 18, he became a monk and dedicated himself to a life of spiritual study, reflection and service. Having lived in ashrams across the United States, he made his way to New York City in 2008 to participate in the formative years of the Bhakti Center. After 10 years of monastic life, he transitioned out of monk-hood. In 2013 he met his wife and is now married, continuing to live and serve in New York City as the Executive Director for the Bhakti Center.
Podcast Reviews and Testimonials
I highly recommend Spirit Matters to anyone seeking a deeper understanding of themselves and their place in the world. It’s such a valuable resource for deepening your spiritual practice and connecting with a supportive community of like-minded individuals.
In all honesty, I love everything about it. While I regret joining these communities so late, it’s better late than never. I want to thank The Bhakti Center for giving me this opportunity and introducing me to such wonderful people. The love we share for Krishna is what helps me connect the most with everyone. One part of the podcast that really stuck with me was the discussion between Kishor and Dayal regarding faith, and how that varies for everyone. From the bottom of my heart, I would like to thank everyone in this community for joining together under one roof and spreading positivity and love.
Spirit Matters podcast is a special place where we all come together from all over the world feeling welcomed knowing this is where we belong, and for 30 minutes we open our hearts to the teachings of the Gita as a beautiful spiritual family. Every episode is a new experience, every reading is a new lesson as we all understand the value of this community. I am grateful to be part of this loving family where we all search for our journey home.
