Managing Relationships from a Spiritual Perspective - The Kriya Yoga Podcast Episode 42

In this episode of The Kriya Yoga Podcast, we explore relationships.  Relationships can contribute to some of the most fulfilling and supportive aspects of our spiritual life.  However, modern culture, fantasy, and immaturity tend to make relationships more of a hindrance than a help on the road to spiritual growth.
