Recently, I had the opportunity to watch a podcast conversation between my father, Dr Anekant Kumar Jain, and Dr Medhavi Jain, Founder of Dharma For Life. It turned out to be one of the most meaningful experiences I’ve ever had. As a teenager growing up in a world filled with noise, confusion, and constant distractions, this podcast felt like a breath of fresh air. It wasn’t just a conversation — it was a doorway to deeper thinking.
Throughout the podcast, Medhavi aunty asked simple yet thoughtful questions about religion, spirituality, and how the youth seeks guidance in understanding these concepts. My father answered each query with clarity and honesty. What struck me the most was the natural and respectful flow of the conversation. There was no pressure, no judgment — just pure sharing of ideas and experiences.
One of the main things I learned was that spirituality is not something you have to accept blindly. My father shared that even he had questioned many things in his younger days. It was only after exploring deeply and sincerely that he found peace in the answers. That message stayed with me that it is okay to question. In fact, questioning is a part of both spiritual and intellectual growth. Spirituality is not about following strict rules or rituals without understanding; it’s about discovering peace within and finding truth through awareness.
Another powerful takeaway was the idea that youth do not require force to believe something. Instead, they should take their time, approach with an open mind, and stay connected to the present moment. My father mentioned that the real change happens when one starts walking the path with awareness — when we become observers of our thoughts, our actions, and the world around us.
The conversation also touched upon how many young people feel disconnected from religion or spirituality because they see it as outdated and rigid. But when explained with love, logic, and simplicity — like in this podcast — it becomes something we can relate to. I realized that spirituality isn’t about doing something dramatic. It’s about small, consistent efforts to live more mindfully, truthfully and peacefully.
Overall, watching this podcast was an eye-opening experience. It felt like a peaceful yet powerful conversation that brought clarity to many of my thoughts. It encouraged me to embark on my own inward journey, not by blindly following something, but by asking questions and exploring the truth with awareness.
I had a wonderful experience participating in this podcast session. It inspired me, and I’ll always remember the lessons I took from it. While watching the conversation, I found myself filled with many questions — it honestly felt like the podcast shouldn’t end. The dialogue was so engaging and thought-provoking that I wished it could continue even longer. At the end, they also mentioned that if anyone has doubts or questions, they are welcome to write them in the comments, so a follow-up part of the podcast can be created. I’m really looking forward to that, and I hope to explore even more in the next session.
