Welcome to the Ask Sadhviji podcast! This special episode was recorded live on Day 2 of The Freedom Within Retreat at De Vere Horsley in the UK, where Sadhviji explores what it means to live our dharma — to act in the world while staying connected to the deeper truth of who we are.
What does surrender really mean? How do we work with anger without suppressing it or allowing it to control us? And how can we respond to the suffering and injustice we see in the world without adding more anger, hatred and division?
Drawing on the Bhagavad Gita, the wisdom of yoga and Vedanta, and her own experiences, Sadhviji explores the relationship between surrender, action, love and dharma. She reminds us that surrender isn't giving up — it is recognizing what is and isn't in our hands, and offering the results of our actions to the Divine.
She also explores anger as a signal rather than something to repress, and how love can become the deeper, more sustainable energy behind meaningful action. From working with difficult emotions to becoming more conscious of our thoughts, she offers practical ways to create space between what arises within us and how we choose to respond.
