For seekers who’ve outgrown spiritual fluff. This isn’t about trends, vibes, or blind devotion. This is real talk for real seekers.
🎙️ Each episode is part of a larger journey. This isn’t random content—it’s a structured path into deeper truth, not easy comfort.
I’m Premanand Das Bhagat (Aaron Joy), in Portland, Maine, USA.I followed the so-called spiritual path—believed everything and anything, joined a cult, and ran in circles. Through honest effort, deep unlearning, and painful self-awareness, I found clarity in Sanatana Dharma (Hinduism).
Now, I speak to those who feel the same disillusionment. If you believe in asking questions, rejecting lazy universalism, and using logic and scripture together to navigate this chaotic world—you’re in the right place.
🕉️ I'm a Integral Vedic Counselor, Certified Spiritual Life Coach and Ayurveda Specialist. I'm a student of Dr. David Frawley and devotee of Sri Dharma Pravartaka Acharya, following the non-Advaita, non-Universalist Vaishnava lineage of Ramanuja. My spiritual name was a gift from Dr. Chaturbhai Babaria (Swaminarayan Gurukul USA).

[For anyone curious, sharing this vow - which likely has been updated - I believe is under fair use. I share this vow for the purpose of commentary, criticism, religious scholarship, spiritual teaching, and expanding upon my life experience of activities I did. The goal is to educate others about what an eternal vow may look like, while continuing my on-going work to educate people to guru/cult behavior. While, noting my opening thoughts, sharing this not necessarily a condemnation of Adidam followers and/or Adi Da Samraj. Actually, with the extensive process to bring in members they are weeding out those who are not really interested.]
