A Woman’s Gita: Bhagavad Gita by and for Western Women is a new podcast discussing Bhagavad-Gita, the timeless classic of Eastern Wisdom reinterpreted from the perspective of two Western female teachers who are both former monastics, Nischala Joy Devi and Kamala Rose, who have dedicated their lives to the Yoga Tradition. At a time when women’s voices are finally emerging, a feminine perspective of the wartime treatise could not be more timely.


Each episode will explore the main teachings in the Bhagavad Gita from a female perspective and describe the process of bringing the Gita to a wider audience.


--- Nischala Joy Devi ---

Nischala Joy Devi is a masterful teacher, author, and healer. She spent 25 years as a monastic in the Vedic tradition, learning all aspects of Yoga from great masters worldwide. Her teaching reflects her love of Yoga and scripture, highlighting the Bhagavad Gita, considered one of the quintessential scriptures of Yoga. The Gita, previously deemed unrelatable to Western women, has inspired Devi to adapt the teaching by infusing content and commentary with feminine-based insights and parables. Now the Bhagavad Gita, like most of her teachings, reflects a heart-centered perspective of spirituality in scripture.

--- Kamala Rose ---

Kamala Rose brings over 30 years of contemplative training, a background in Sanskrit, and a lifelong immersion in the Bhagavad Gita. She studied with traditional teachers like Srivatsa Ramaswami, several academic institutions, explored interpretive lineages through the Theosophical Society, and was shaped by a father who studied the Upanishads and a mother who nurtured her feminist and academic orientation from an early age. She has dedicated her life to preserving yoga’s wisdom tradition by making it more accessible to yoga teachers.

    In this episode of A Woman's Gita, Kamala Rose and Nischala Joy Devi explore the foundational wisdom of Bhagavad Gita Chapter 4.

    Key Topics Covered:

    • Elevating Karma Yoga from simple physical action to deep wisdom

    In this episode of A Women’s Gita Podcast, Kamala Rose and Nischala Joy Devi step into Chapter 4 (Jñana Yoga) and explore what it means for Krishna to “remind” Arjuna of an ancient, forgotten yoga—and why that matters now, in the chaos of the Kali Yuga.

    They reflect on:

    • How desire, karma, and selfless action from Chapter 3 flow into the wisdom of Chapter 4
    • Krishna’s transmission of yoga through Vivasvat, Manu, and the royal sages—and what this lineage teaches us about stewardship of sacred knowledge
    • Why remembering, not acquiring, is at the heart of yoga: the Self as deeper than mind and intellect
    • The responsibility and humility of being a modern yoga teacher or practitioner in a capitalist culture
    • How the Gita meets us exactly where we are—whether we are devoted, skeptical, confused, or heartbroken

    This conversation is especially for yoga practitioners and teachers who sense that yoga is more than wellness or fitness—and feel called to carry the tradition with integrity, depth, and love in turbulent times.

    Under the Banyan Tree: Rajas, Compassion Fatigue, and the Women’s Gita

    Why do we sometimes act against our own best intentions—say the sharp thing, make the hurtful choice, or spiral into burnout even when we deeply want to do good?

    In this episode, Kamala Rose and Nischala Joy Devi sit “under the banyan tree” with Bhagavad Gita Chapter 3, verses 36–41, exploring Arjuna’s question to Krishna: What impels a person to act, even to do harm, “as if urged by some force”?

    Together they unpack:

    • Rajas guna as the restless force behind desire, anger, and overaction
    • How this same energy fuels both life and violence—from spring blossoms to the battlefield
    • The slippery slope from mental agitation to tamas, inaction, and even war
    • The difference between true compassion and compassion fatigue—“caring too much for too long about what we cannot change”
    • How daily yogic practice, self-awareness, and discernment (viveka) help us clear the dusty mirror of consciousness

    Drawing on women’s lived experience, the hosts weave in examples from family life, activism, and spiritual figures like Mahatma Gandhi and His Holiness the Dalai Lama. This conversation is an invitation to hold righteous anger, deep care, and wise action together—without burning out or checking out.
