Seva Care has released a new episode in its ongoing podcast series, Care During Tough Times, entitled “Marriages and Vaiṣṇava Community Support.” This episode features Dhanya Rico, M.Ed., Ed.S., NCC, a National Certified Counselor specializing in personal and relationship wellness. The discussion offers a sober and compassionate examination of how individuals and devotional communities may respond to marital challenges, separation, and divorce within the shelter of Vaiṣṇava principles.
The episode is hosted by Dhanya Devi Dāsī together with Tamohara Dāsa, PhD—an educational psychologist, former faculty member in counseling and clinical psychology, and a member of the Gṛhastha Vision Team. Their dialogue centers on approaching these delicate and often painful life circumstances through the lens of devotional service. Together, they consider how members of the Vaiṣṇava community can acknowledge and process the emotions that arise during marital difficulty, extend practical and spiritually grounded support to others, and thoughtfully integrate such experiences into their own spiritual practice.
Dhanya Devi Dāsī brings to the conversation a rare synthesis of professional training and lived devotional experience. A musician and traveling kīrtanīyā, she is also a widely respected educator in the field of personal and relationship wellness. She holds a Master’s degree in Counselor Education and a Specialist’s degree in Couples and Family Therapy, and for more than a decade she has dedicated her work to helping individuals and relationships flourish by situating profound spiritual principles at the heart of genuine personal transformation.
