The Ramayana is more than a story — it is an epic whose details, characters, and events continue to shape our understanding of India's civilisational heritage. With the upcoming Ramayana film releasing on November 5, 2026, featuring Ranbir Kapoor as Lord Rama, Yash as Ravana, Sai Pallavi as Sita, and Sunny Deol as Lord Hanuman, this episode offers a chance to explore the original epic before watching its cinematic adaptation.

Kundalini is often described as the dormant energy within every human being — but what is it, how does it awaken, and what happens when it does? In this episode of Supertalks, Raghav sits down with Sadhvi Amruta Trivedi, a spiritual master, philosopher and Tantrik rooted in the sacred tradition of the Maha Siddhas, known for preserving and sharing the ancient wisdom of Kashmir Shaivism. The conversation explores the purpose of life, Sadhvi ji’s early initiation by her Guru, the connection between Shiva and Shakti, and the deeper meaning of Kundalini.

Navratri is not just a festival. It is a powerful period for sadhna — but what does Navratri truly signify, and how should one approach it? In this Navratri special episode of Supertalks, Raghav sits down with Adi Suyash, a self-realised mystic of the Kashmir Shaiva tradition of Tantra and author of Threads of Transcendence: Decoding Shiva Sutras.

What happens after we die? Not as a philosophical question, but as described in one of Hinduism's most sacred texts, the Garuda Purana, spoken by Lord Vishnu himself. What happens to the soul after death, and what awaits it on the journey beyond? Nityanand Charan Das Ji returns to Supertalks to open the Garuda Purana and take us through what the text says about death, the soul and what comes after. A practising monk at Sri Sri Radha Gopinath Temple, ISKCON Chowpatty, Mumbai, disciple of His Holiness Radhanath Swami and bestselling author of A Monk's Almanac, Icons of Grace, Ask the Monk, Bound by Love and SHIVA, his discourses have reached audiences across 50+ countries. This episode explores the subtle body formed after the soul leaves, the Yamdoots who arrive from Yamlok, and the soul's experience of witnessing its own funeral. We follow the 13-day journey described in the Garuda Purana, including the Vaitarini Lake, the arrival before Yamraj and the judgment that follows. We also discuss the signs of death, what can be done for someone on their deathbed, the descriptions of hell in the Vedic verses, and what the text says about preparing spiritually during this lifetime. And then comes the simplest answer: the chanting of Krishna's name. A journey through death, judgment, the soul's passage beyond the physical world — and how we can prepare for what comes next. 🎧 Available in Audio & Video on Spotify.

She is a past life therapist, Reiki Grandmaster and one of the earliest students of Dr NK Sharma, India's most renowned past life regression expert.

This episode covers the most searched and most felt questions about love, relationships, karma and past lives that most Indians carry silently. We begin with brahm hatya and why some souls are destined to walk this life alone without a partner. Meenu shares real cases that will stop you cold. A girl who feared marriage because of a childhood wound traced back to her previous lifetime. A girl who carries birthmarks from how her last life ended. A wife who suffered deeply in this life only to discover in a past life regression session that she had done the same to her husband in a previous one. We then go deep into twin flames. Twin flame kya hota hai. How one soul divides into two. The 7 stages of a twin flame journey. Why twin flames resist each other even when they are destined to meet. Why older souls travel further to find meaning. And why some soul mates never meet in this lifetime because even eyes cannot meet if it is not destined. We discuss soul mates, soul groups and soul contracts. Why divorces happen even when the kundali is perfectly aligned by astrologers and pandits. Extra marital affairs explained through past life karma. What happens when a married person feels drawn to someone outside their marriage and how that attraction may be a twin flame connection.

Abhijit Chavda — Deep Ocean, Loch Ness, Megalodon, Black Holes & The Mysteries of the Universe 95% of the ocean remains unexplored. And most of the universe is made of something we cannot see or fully explain. Somewhere between the deepest ocean trenches and the edge of the observable universe lie questions that science is still trying to answer. In this episode of Supertalks, Raghav sits down with Abhijit Chavda for the third time. This time, the conversation moves beyond geopolitics and history into the mysteries of our planet, space and the universe. What we cover: ◼️ What could be hiding in the deepest parts of the ocean that humans have never seen? ◼️ The Loch Ness Monster — what does science actually say about its existence? ◼️ Could Megalodon, the largest shark ever known to have lived, still survive somewhere in the deep ocean? ◼️ What lies beneath the ice of Antarctica, and could an undiscovered civilisation exist there? ◼️ What happens when two black holes collide — and what would happen if a human entered one? ◼️ How could DNA have arrived on Earth from space? ◼️ Why did gold not originate on Earth, and where did it actually come from? ◼️ Dark matter, dark energy, quantum gravity and the unanswered questions shaping our understanding of the universe. Abhijit Chavda is a theoretical physicist whose research spans dark matter, dark energy, black hole physics, quantum gravity and physical cosmology. He is the creator of the #AskAbhijit Show, with over a million followers, and has been a member of the consultative group to the Principal Scientific Adviser to the Government of India. He has also spoken at the G20 2023 and the World Hindu Congress in Bangkok. This conversation is not about pretending we have all the answers.

Swami Shuddhidananda — Bhagavad Gita Explained: Arjuna’s Breakdown, Krishna’s Answer & The Gita Saar Arjuna was ready to fight. Then he saw his family, teachers and loved ones on the other side. He dropped his bow and said he could not do it. The Bhagavad Gita begins not with victory, but with a breakdown. In this episode of Supertalks, Raghav sits down with Swami Shuddhidananda, a senior monk of the Ramakrishna Order and Head of Advaita Ashrama, Kolkata. A scholar and speaker on Vedanta, Sri Ramakrishna and Swami Vivekananda, he breaks down the essence of all 18 chapters of the Bhagavad Gita in one powerful conversation.

The Bhagavad Gita was not written only for warriors. It was written for anyone who has ever stood at a crossroads and thought, “I cannot do this.” Arjuna had his Kurukshetra.

Geetanjali Babbar — Inside Delhi’s GB Road: Human Trafficking, Sexual Exploitation & Survival What really happens inside Delhi’s GB Road? How are young girls brought into the system? Who controls the networks that keep women trapped? And what does life actually look like for the women living and working inside these buildings? In this episode of Supertalks, Raghav sits down with Geetanjali Babbar, a social activist who has spent years working on the ground with marginalised women and children, including the women of GB Road — one of India’s most well-known yet least understood areas of human trafficking and sexual exploitation. This is not a sensational conversation. It is an attempt to understand a reality that exists in the heart of Delhi, often hidden in plain sight. What we cover: The reality of GB Road and what life looks like for the women living inside it. How girls from villages are lured into cities with promises of a better life and eventually become trapped in a system they cannot easily escape. How trafficking networks operate across India and the people behind them. The role of poverty, family and social circumstances in pushing women into exploitation. How women are trained, controlled and kept inside the system. The health crisis inside brothels, including HIV, alcohol dependency, physical abuse and other risks. Stories of women who found love, lost it and were later exploited. The rare cases of women who fought back and found a way out. Geetanjali discusses Kautilya’s Arthashastra and its references to Ganikas — women who, in that historical context, could hold a recognised position in society and have certain rights and responsibilities. We also discuss how the meaning and perception of the word “Ganika” has changed over time and how language itself can become a form of stigma. But the conversation is not only about the problem. It is also about the possibility of change. What happens when a woman manages to leave? What kind of support does she need to rebuild her life? Why awareness, rehabilitation and stronger systems are essential to breaking the cycle? And what can society do differently? At the heart of this conversation is one important distinction: The women trapped inside these systems are not the criminals. They are survivors. GB Road exists in the middle of Delhi. Thousands of people pass through its surrounding streets every day. Yet the lives inside those buildings remain largely invisible to the rest of society. This conversation is an attempt to look beyond the stigma, understand the people behind it and confront a reality that cannot be solved by simply looking away. 🎧 Available in Audio & Video on Spotify.

Vivek Awasthi — Inside India’s Wildest Jungles: Tigers, Man-Eaters, Poaching & Survival What really happens when you come face-to-face with a tiger in the wild? What should you do when a leopard starts chasing you? And how dangerous are India’s forests when you step beyond the tourist trails? In this episode of Supertalks, Raghav sits down with Vivek Awasthi, a wildlife explorer who has spent years deep inside India’s jungles, to uncover the raw and unpredictable reality of the animals that inhabit them. From surviving an elephant charge on an empty road to discovering a seven-month-old tiger cub inside his own resort, Vivek shares firsthand encounters with some of India’s most dangerous wildlife — including tigers, leopards, elephants, sloth bears and more. What we cover: What you should do when a tiger is far away and staring at you. What changes when a tiger gets dangerously close. Why running from a wild animal can make the situation worse. How elephants, leopards, sloth bears and tigers actually behave around humans. The dangers of travelling through forests alone or in small groups. Stories of encounters with tigers, leopards and elephants. The reality behind man-eating animals and why certain animals become a threat to humans. The Chougal tigress and the story of one of India’s most notorious man-eaters. How wildlife encounters can turn fatal within seconds. The conversation then goes beyond animal encounters and into the darker side of India’s wildlife — the illegal poaching and trafficking industry. From tiger parts and rhino horn to elephant tusks and exotic animals, Vivek explains how wildlife trafficking operates across international borders and how India connects to a larger network involving Nepal, Vietnam and China. We also discuss Veerappan, his decades-long empire built around sandalwood and elephant tusks, and the wider criminal ecosystem surrounding illegal wildlife trade. The episode also explores the recent discovery of five baby orangutans abandoned in Odisha’s Balasore district — animals that are not native to India and were allegedly brought into the country through an illegal trafficking network. India’s forests are not just beautiful landscapes. They are complex ecosystems filled with animals that can be unpredictable, territorial and extremely dangerous — while the forests themselves are increasingly threatened by human activity. This conversation is for anyone who thinks they know what exists beyond the boundaries of India’s cities and highways. Because once you enter the jungle, the rules are different. 🎧 Available in Audio & Video on Spotify.

Simranjeet Singh Tohana — What Happens When We Die? The Sikh Mystery of Death & the Soul What actually happens in the final moments of life? What does Sikh scripture say happens to the soul when it leaves the body — and is there a specific window after death that determines where it goes next? In this episode of Supertalks, Raghav sits down with Simranjeet Singh Tohana, Sikh spiritual orator, to explore what Sikh teachings say about death, the soul and what happens in the moments between life and death.

How this story is connected to the construction of a Gurudwara and Guru Arjan Dev Ji. What Sikh scripture and tradition say about the journey of the soul. Recorded in the aftermath of the devastating floods in the Kailash region that claimed hundreds of lives, this conversation asks questions that become impossible to ignore: What happens when life ends? Does death really happen at the moment the body stops breathing? And what, according to Sikh wisdom, happens to the soul after that? This isn't simply a conversation about death. It is an exploration of one of the oldest questions humanity has ever asked — what happens after we leave the body? 🎧 Available in Audio & Video on Spotify.
