Evolution in Divine Love | The Free Radical Podcast #49 — Robert Nicastro, July 2, 2025

In this special episode of The Free Radical Podcast, Swami Padmanabha is joined by theologian, teacher, and writer Robert Nicastro, whose work explores the intersection of religion, science, and artificial intelligence. As Executive Director of the Center for Christogenesis, Robert builds on the vision of Teilhard de Chardin, advancing an integrated understanding of spirituality and science for a planet in transformation. The episode coincides with the upcoming launch of Swami Padmanabha’s third book, "Evolution in Divine Love: The Eternal Becoming of God, Soul, and Matter." Together, they explore the book’s central themes—love as an evolving force, a divine being in dynamic expansion, and the implications of this vision for soul and matter. They discuss how both human identity and material reality are part of an unfolding process, where changelessness and change coexist in divine love’s ever-deepening expression. Swami and Robert reflect on the potential of this evolutionary vision to reshape our understanding of God, consciousness, and the future of religious thought, inviting listeners into a conversation that is both intellectually bold and spiritually nourishing. https://youtu.be/kzjiQHGMcg4 ▶ CONTINUE THE CONVERSATION: Gaudiya Reform Forum on Facebook .~ Swami Padmanabha’s Channels ▶ FACEBOOK ▶ YOUTUBE ▶ INSTAGRAM ▶ WEBSITE ▶ PURCHASE RADICAL PERSONALISM: Revival Manifesto for Proactive Devotion in hardcover, paperback, and/or Kindle formats on Amazon ▶ WRITE your REVIEW of RADICAL PERSONALISM ~ Tadatmya Sangha’s Channels ▶ WEBSITE ▶ FACEBOOK ▶ INSTAGRAM ▶ YOUTUBE
