Bhagvad Gita, Spirituality, Krishna, & Karma: Jaya Kishori Explains It All | Karishma Mehta | Ep 15

"What will happen in your destiny is already written…The paths are charted out by the Lord. But your karma depends on what path you choose in life. Your karma is the result of your choices."
Jaya Kishori's tryst with spirituality began at the young age of 7. A name that resonates with millions today as a dynamic motivational speaker, she was brought up in a family that taught stories from scriptures since an early age, she developed a keen interest and curiosity, and set out on this enlightening journey.
At the age of 7, she began singing bhajans and over the years, became a devotee of Lord Krishna. And today, the 'Meera of the Modern World' as she's fondly known, Jaya Kishori is a true embodiment of unwavering devotion whose Kathas, bhajans and soul-stirring discourses have touched the lives of countless individuals worldwide.
Join us on this enlightening journey with Jaya Kishori as we explore her spiritual awakening, uncover the secrets of the Geeta, her philosophy on unconditional love, friendship, death, karma & destiny, and so much more!
