BAPS Better Living

In this episode of the Dharmic Life Podcast on BAPS Better Living, host Dhawal, Dr. Kashyap, and Rashmi discuss what organized religion really means and why it is essential for spiritual progress. The talk delves into concerns that people have about organized religion, especially when relating to losing their individuality, falling into blind rituals, and the real scandals and hypocrisy that often come up. Through it all, the participants address these real concerns through the lens of Hinduism, and their own personal experiences and growth through spiritual practice. #BAPS #BAPSBetterLiving #DharmicLife #ModernSpirituality #OrganizedReligion #Spirituality OTHER PLATFORMS:INSTAGRAM https://www.instagram.com/baps_betterlivingYOUTUBE https://youtube.com/bapsbetterliving LINKEDIN https://www.linkedin.com/company/bapsswaminarayansanstha/  

What does leadership look like when it’s rooted in service? In the latest episode of the BAPS Better Living – Inspired Series, we speak with Dr. Angelina Mehta - a Gunnery Sergeant in the U.S. Marine Reserve and a Naturopathic Doctor who leads with both discipline and compassion. Angelina’s journey spans two worlds that rarely intersect: the rigor of military service and the healing work of medicine. Yet for her, both paths share a common foundation - service to others. Growing up with a strong spiritual grounding and a deep culture of seva (selfless service), Angelina learned early that leadership is not about authority or status. It’s about responsibility. In our conversation, she reflects on: • How military leadership is built on trust, accountability, and shared sacrifice • The Marine Corps principle that “leaders eat last” and what that means in practice • How caring for patients allows her to serve people at their most vulnerable moments • Why science and spirituality can complement each other in the pursuit of healing • How the teachings of spiritual leaders like Pramukh Swami Maharaj and Mahant Swami Maharaj shaped her approach to leadership and humility. Angelina’s story reminds us that true leadership is not about standing above others - it’s about standing with them. Whether in uniform, in the clinic, or in community service, she shows that the strongest leaders are those who serve first. 🎧 Tune in to hear how discipline, compassion, and humility can come together to shape a life of purpose. #Leadership #ServantLeadership #LeadershipMatters #PurposeDriven #LeadWithPurpose #LeadershipJourney #bapsbetterliving OTHER PLATFORMS:INSTAGRAM https://www.instagram.com/baps_betterlivingYOUTUBE https://youtube.com/bapsbetterliving LINKEDIN https://www.linkedin.com/company/bapsswaminarayansanstha/
