The Daily Ketchup

What is reincarnation and how many past lives do we have? Are aura cleanses real or just a scam? Is meditation just mindfulness with a prettier name? In today’s episode of The Daily Ketchup, we sit down with Premmayi Gurumaa, a globally respected spiritual teacher with over 45 years of experience in the sacred traditions of Sanatana Dharma. Known for her powerful satsangs and grounded wisdom, Gurumaa helps us navigate real spiritual questions with clarity and compassion. We confront the skepticism: Is holistic living just “woo-woo”? Can karma be broken or healed? How do you forgive someone who’s never apologised? Plus we explore ancient breathwork techniques for longevity, how reiki and meditation actually work, and why spirituality isn't about blind belief but remembering who you really are. Hosted on Acast.
