EPISODE 4 IS OUT NOW!
The energy of this episode is very different — we speak about the beautiful mix of the mind, the body and the soul.
We’ve all read about the monk who sold his Ferrari, but today, we’re in conversation with the engineer who became a monk - Guru Gauranga Dasji, who found his calling after a life altering accident and then, went on to mentor digital icons such as Jay Shetty!
After being invited to Govardhan – an eco-village that emulates his belief of slow living; he captivated us with every topic – from his switch to monkhood, his fascination with death, and his learnings from the Bhagavad Gita - we discussed it all!
There's so much to learn and even more to ponder upon.
So if you seek answers to questions like, "What's the purpose of life?" "Why do we compare?" and "What happens after death?" this episode is for you!

“How The Hell Did I Do It?” is a Humans of Bombay Original – a talk show where we speak with the dreamers, the pioneers, the go-getters and the never-say-no’ers from all walks of life. We discuss their journeys – the highs, the lows and everything in between. And through our candid conversations, we try to decode the human behind the name, and get pretty close to figuring out – How The Hell Did They Do It?

About Humans of Bombay –

Humans of Bombay is a movement that started 8 years ago. We believe that every person has a story to tell and we want to help them tell these stories. In these years we’ve published stories across genres – stories of love, hope, faith and courage. And through our storytelling, we’ve built an engaged community of over 4.5M!
Our idea is simple – to strike a chord with our community and catalog the beat of humanity, one story at a time.
