Mantra practice holds immense potential—but what should you realistically expect from it? In this episode, Giovanni dives into the long-term view of mantra sadhana and explains how faith, focus, and feeling are the true currencies of transformation. 

From karmic compression to divine signs and mysterious setbacks, you’ll learn how to recognize genuine progress—even when it doesn’t look like what you imagined. Whether you seek spiritual growth or practical life change, this episode helps you ground your expectations and deepen your commitment.

We cover:

• Why results may at times be slow—and why that’s a good thing.
• How karmic resistance may cause things to get worse before they get better.
• The role of divine intelligence in orchestrating life changes.
• How to interpret nimittas (spiritual omens) and synchronicities.
• What kind of inner experiences (visions, scents, dreams) may arise in sadhana.
• The difference between coincidence and a true divine sign—and how to attune to it.
• How deities may accelerate your karma to fast-track your growth.

Real-life stories and examples make this episode not just philosophical, but deeply practical and encouraging.

This is a must-listen for anyone in the midst of mantra practice wondering if it’s “working.”
