Shastra Charcha are recordings of informal meetings between Babaji and his students and guests at Jiva Vrindavan during the Bhakti Ratna semester between October 2023 – March 2024. The entire set will contain about 90 recordings each with a duration of approx. 20-30 minutes.

Questions asked and answers provided by Babaji cover a variety of śastric and devotional subjects and practical day-to-day queries. Thus the name śāstra-charcha — discussion on śāstra, mostly scriptures relevant to Gaudiya Vaishnavism.

In between the questions, Babaji also reads from the book Chitta-vinodini, “A collection of ślokas that entertain the heart.“
