The discussion explored how timeless values, purpose, humility, and forgiveness can enrich leadership, strengthen organizations, and create a lasting positive impact on society.

In this episode of the BAPS Better Living Inspired Series, psychiatrist, physician leader, founder, and lifelong learner Dr. Sejal Mehta shares why she continues to evolve, serve, and pursue new possibilities at every stage of life.

From building a career in psychiatry and leading within the medical community to launching a nonprofit and exploring responsible AI in healthcare, Dr. Mehta’s journey is grounded in one central belief: purpose doesn’t diminish with time - it deepens.

In this conversation, we explore:

• Why it’s never too late to learn, grow, or begin again
• How faith and spiritual values can shape leadership and service
• Moving beyond the limits we internalize
• Finding purpose through our careers, families, and communities
• Why service can become a way of life rather than something separate from it

Her message is simple: Life is beautiful. Life is short. Make every moment meaningful.

This episode of Dharmic Life explores smartphone and social media addiction through personal experiences, research, and a dharmic lens.

Today, digital platforms are intentionally engineered to capture our attention through constant notifications and endless feeds. This has fueled the rise of “doomscrolling,” a habit known to negatively affect our mood, mental well-being, and relationships.

In fact, rising smartphone use has coincided with a sharp increase in youth depression, anxiety, self-harm, and sleep deprivation. Meta has faced billions of dollars in legal claims over allegations that its algorithms harm young people.

But this struggle is nothing new. Hinduism has long explored the concept of maya and offers a path to overcome it. Bhagwan Swaminarayan’s teachings in the Vachanamrut reveal how we can regain control of our minds through awareness, better habits, purposeful living, and spiritual practice.
