On this latest episode of Prim Rose Light, what do you get when you blend ancient wisdom, global grit, and a dash of BBC Radio charm? Brahmacharini Shripriya—a Hindu monk, Vedantic teacher, and podcast host whose journey from London academia to Mumbai ashram is anything but ordinary.
Born in Kenya, raised in the UK, and now the resident teacher at Chinmaya Mission UK, Shripriya Ji brings the timeless teachings of Advaita Vedanta into boardrooms, youth retreats, and your podcast feed. Her shows That Heroic Fish and Living Ramayana explore courage, transformation, and the kind of spiritual clarity that doesn’t require incense or Sanskrit fluency.
She’s been featured on BBC Radio 4’s Prayer for the Day, contributed to The Woman Seeker, and—just casually—ran the London Marathon this year. Yes, in robes. Yes, with grace.
In this episode, we dive into:
🏃♀️ What inspired her to run the London Marathon—and what it taught her about the body, mind, and ego.
🧘♀️ How Vedanta helped her push through when her legs said “no” but her spirit said “go”.
🕉️ What Vedanta really is—and how a moment of deep conviction led her to leave academia for spiritual service.
🌱 How to discover your dharma (life’s calling) and whether it evolves over time.
🔍 How to untangle fear, conditioning, and societal expectations from your true self.
🎭 What swadharma means—and why it’s the key to living authentically.
🧠 How to quieten the ego (ours and others’) without losing our voice.
🌈 How to move beyond labels and boxes to live out oneness while celebrating individuality.
Shripriya Ji doesn’t just teach Vedanta—she lives it. With humour, humility, and a whole lot of heart.
