In this deeply heartfelt and thought-provoking episode of Spirituali-TEA, we sit down with Kashi Whitten — a former Hindu monk, tech professional, and now transformational coach — who shares his incredible journey of devotion, intuition, and authenticity. From spending 18 years in a Hindu monastery to navigating burnout, Kashi’s story is one of evolving purpose and radical honesty with the self.
We talk about what it really means to "know yourself" — beyond labels, beyond expectations, beyond the inner critic. Kashi opens up about making lifetime vows, and what it meant to let go of them when his intuition told him it was time to move forward. He reflects on fear not as something to avoid, but as a teacher to dialogue with. How can we discern fear's wisdom from fear’s resistance?
We also dive into spiritual perfectionism, the human need for intimacy, and how the monastic life both enriched and complicated his human experience. Kashi challenges the transactional view of karma and instead embraces a heart-centered approach: "Do good because it feels good."
We also unpack ideas from the book "4000 Weeks: Time Management for Mortals", discussing how we can reclaim time not through productivity hacks, but through meaning, presence, and surrender.
Whether you're in the midst of a life transition, confronting burnout, feeling the pressure to “have it all together”, or questioning your spiritual path, this episode offers a grounding invitation to return to your truth — and to live it out loud.
☕ Pour yourself a warm cup of Spirituali-TEA and join us for a beautiful reflection on purpose, presence, and the soulful path of doing good simply because it feels good.
