This episode of The Sacred Everywhere podcast and video series features Swami Padmanabha, an Argentinian-born and Catholic-raised Hindu monk who writes and teaches all over the world. This is the first half of our conversation which can also be heard on YouTube at https://youtu.be/OZOPUhbKOwg.
The full conversation is available to paid subscribers on Substack at https://sherikling.substack.com/p/evolution-in-divine-love-with-swami.
At an early age, Swami Padmanabha delved deeply into the theology of diverse mystical traditions. After taking up Gaudiya Vaishnavism in 1999 at the age of 19, he has dedicated himself to an extensive study of the Gaudiya scriptures under the guidance of his various mentors. Fluent in English and Spanish, Swami has written hundreds of articles in both languages, with his first two books published in English and in the process of being translated to other languages.
For the past twenty years, he has traveled around the world and lectured in universities, ashrams, and yoga studios. All of his numerous talks and seminars are available online for free at swamipadmanabha.com. As a leader of spiritual retreats and communities, he inspires both practitioners and visitors with his penetrating teachings and personal example.
He is the author of Inherent or Inherited? Bhakti in the Jiva according to Gaudiya Vedanta, Radical Personalism: Revival Manifesto for Proactive Devotion and, most recently, Evolution in Divine Love: The Eternal Becoming of God, Soul, and Matter.

MY STORY: My name is Dr. Sheri Kling, and I’m interested in helping you discover a whole-making Sacred in your own sacred life.
I’ve spent my life walking the journey I teach. It’s been a path shaped by deep questions, hard-won insights, and moments of grace that awakened me to new, life-giving images of the sacred. These shifts didn’t just change my thinking—they gave me the strength to face profound adversity and the joy of finally feeling at home in my own life and body.
Whether you’re seeking personal healing, professional clarity, or a more meaningful spiritual path, I offer grounded, heart-centered tools to help you thrive—and to remind you that wholeness is not just possible, it’s your birthright.
