About This Podcast

Most podcasts keep politics and spirituality separate. We don’t.

We believe understanding the world requires both, and a willingness to ask deeper questions, practice discernment, and look beyond surface-level narratives to see what’s actually happening beneath the headlines.

This is a truth-seeking podcast for conscious thinkers exploring geopolitics and current culture through a spiritual lens rooted in Vedic philosophy.

What is the 8th Element? It is Oxygen, the breath of life. We cannot live without it. And for the soul’s nourishment and awakening we need this life giving information based on clear thinking and transcendental knowledge.

As a trio of decades long practicing bhakti yogis or Vaisnavas, we unpack hidden truths, challenge power structures, and apply common sense to understand with coherence a rapidly changing world.

So come as you are my friend, prabhus from all walks of life, with sincerity and an open heart. We’ll meet you here every week on Thursday night/Friday morning.
