Divine Discoveries

This podcast explores the various aspects of spirituality and how one can benefit from embarking on the spiritual path. The information shared is largely based on the Vedic scriptures and knowledge that originates from the subcontinent of India but we most certainly strive to include great wisdom from all world religions to give it an interfaith type of flavor as well.

Pratyaksh Pai

Born a 2nd generation Indian American, I consider myself fortunate to have such a strong connection to my heritage, religion, and music. Growing up I loved watching Bollywood movies so one part of me is a performing Bollywood karaoke singer. The other part of me is that of a spiritual seeker. My Guru (& paternal grandfather) Sadguru Sant Keshavadas, traveled globally 30+ times, preaching the profound teachings found in the ancient Vedic scriptures and other world religions. Thanks to his influence and my parents maintaining strong Indian traditions, I always had a natural fascination towards the Hindu epics and deities. This lead me to reading the Bhagavad-Gita which was a life transforming experience. Inspired by various spiritual sources, I decided to share this great wisdom through this podcast. I am grateful for the opportunity to work with like-minded friends/co-hosts Kristianne and Vikrum for this spiritually introspective and progressive project. Hari Om! 🙏🏽

Kristianne Schotzinger

Hi, I’m Kristianne, or Chaya. And I’m sure like most of you, I’m striving to live a

purposeful, joyful and ethical life. A longtime student of philosophy and theology,

my true passion is Jewish studies. Believing that no one faith has a monopoly on

truth or meaning, I’m excited to learn more about the Vedic tradition and its

wellspring of wisdom. When I’m not traveling, I spend most of my time in Florida,

U.S.A. and Colombia, South America.
