a community learning space to support & inspire your modern spirituality
Pause with Dayal
Pause community platform is my offering of support to those seeking to apply spiritual principles into our often messy and complicated lives. It is a private, online community learning space where I will post regular wisdom notes and reflections along with practical insights, tools, and support needed to sustain and integrate spiritual teachings and wisdom into your life circumstances. Spiritual growth is never linear and requires regular reminders, reassurances, and recalibrations, which is why I’ve created this space for you. While our approach to spiritual wisdom will be broad and inclusive, I will often connect our learning and growth exercises to the timeless philosophy of the Bhagavad Gita along with the insights of inner healing provided by Internal Family Systems (IFS). I would be honored for you to join today and find the spiritual alignment, healing and support you seek.
What you get
The Daily Pause
Every Monday, Wednesday and Friday I will post audio reflections to our private community platform inspired by selected books about spirituality, inner work, and personal growth. I will share excerpts and insights that connect to our lives in ways that are authentic and relevant to modern living. Reflections will be short and digestible—designed for your busy life on the go— and accompanied by contemplative journal prompts to encourage contemplation and engagement with the community.
Group Coaching
Live sessions with me twice a month where you can ask questions and receive group coaching around how to apply spiritual wisdom to your current life circumstances. These sessions will be a space to develop deeper self-awareness, learn how to integrate and apply spiritual insights and principles into your life, and receive overall support through life’s challenges and transitions. All sessions are recorded and archived for later viewing.
Wisdom Library
Archive of pre-recorded spiritual classes that I’ve given over the past years on teachings and wisdom from the Bhagavad-gita, Srimad-Bhagavatam, and other bhakti texts, allowing for a self-paced, transformative learning experience.
Like-minded Community
We aren’t meant to grow in a vacuum, which is why online message boards will provide an opportunity for us to foster an active, like-minded, and inspiring community together. You will be able to connect with other members and share experiences, encouragement, and realizations, fostering a sense of acceptance, belonging, and collective growth.

"I have studied with Dayal on several occasions. His light hearted and joyful presence makes his depth of knowledge of the Vedic literature even more easily accessible, for all levels of learning. His ability to relate the teachings of some of the most dense ancient texts to today's daily circumstances and derive the deep wisdom to apply in every day struggles, is superb. After every session with him, you are left wanting more. He makes it look easy, he makes it fun, inspiring you every single time."

“I had the pleasure of attending Dayal Gauranga das’ classes during a 10-day retreat hosted at the Govardhan Ecovillage in India. The sessions with Dayal were amazing. They included the perfect blend of timeless wisdom, essential knowledge and spontaneous humor. The sessions were so engaging, I just did not want them to end. I left the retreat with a better understanding of how to implement these learnings into my daily life. I would recommend Dayal Gauranga das’ classes to anyone who wants to deepen their understanding of bhakti, strengthen their devotional practice, open their hearts and have a good time.”

Group coaching is a powerful space to share and connect live with other members, ask questions specific to your own life, and work with me in a small, intimate setting. During the group coaching there will be a brief check-in with everyone and then we’ll dive in with anyone who’d like to ask the first question. l then focus my attention directly on that person while others get an intimate glimpse into how I work with someone as if it’s 1-1. You’ll learn from their story, experiences and transformations that may apply to your life as well. Take what resonates and leave what doesn’t. You will get the most out of the group coaching if you come prepared with something in your life that you would like to discuss and get clarity on or have support with. Depending on the group size, we will have time for multiple questions and opportunities to receive coaching. The group coaching sessions are NOT an open forum for others to comment on or give their advice to another. You can, however, offer solidarity or gratitude for sharing their story in the chat. With that said, please absolutely use the community forum to openly share and request dialogue, feedback and input from other members if you desire. The community message boards are the perfect place for those of you with big wise hearts who are eager to share your own brilliant insights and advice.

You will receive wisdom messages and reflection prompts from me in the form of 5-10 minute voice notes that will be posted Monday, Wednesday and Friday morning. They can be accessed directly within the community platform.

Each month there will be a book that I choose to read through and share excerpts from that will guide and inform the messages on the Daily Pause. I will share those books with you ahead of time if you would like to read on your own. Each message will encourage deep reflection, personal growth, and practical application of spiritual values and principles in everyday life. The topics will hopefully make you feel less alone, feel seen and heard, reassured with where you are at, and strengthen your spiritual connection and commitment, bringing more clarity, calm and purpose to your life.

The community space will be hosted on Circle.so which can be accessed on your computer as well as conveniently within the app on your cell phone.

I will be available on the community forum EVERY single day, connecting, sharing and answering any follow-up questions from group sessions in between our sessions. No message will go unanswered beyond 24 hours, and hopefully very soon after you post. You can message me directly or send your message out on the forum, so we can ALL see it and gleam whatever insight comes from the discussion that unfolds. Likely if you have a question, someone else has the same one too! Likely if you have a struggle someone else does too. And if you have a win, we want to acknowledge and celebrate that with you. I really want you all to get to know each other and be there for one another, which in many ways can be the biggest level of support you can receive.

I completely understand! There’s so many things to join, do, and catch up on—why would you want to add to the list? I get it. My suggestion is to approach this experience not as another “thing” on your list of to-dos, but rather as a solid support system for your mental-emotional-spiritual health that is meant to meet you where you are at and be there for you as you need it. This is not designed as something you can fall behind on, but rather help you easily build a regular daily habit to check-in with your spirituality, be reassured you’re exactly where you’re meant to be, and feel a sense of community and progress.
