The Bhakti Talk Podcast, hosted by Ananda Dev and Swami Sky, discusses the necessity and practical approach to spiritual practice (sadhana). They emphasize that spiritual practice is essential for growth, akin to how plants need sunlight. Swami Pramadaya, their guru, advocates for daily meditation and the importance of community (Sangha) and guidance. They highlight the interdependence of humans and the fallacy of self-reliance. The conversation also touches on the challenges of modern spiritual seekers, the importance of discipline, and the transformative power of having a living guru. They stress that spiritual practice is an ongoing process that should be integrated into daily life.
