HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 28 сен 2024
- Mayim's reunion with Big Bang Theory co-star explores Kunal Nayyar's childhood and path to becoming an actor - including getting punched in the face by Mark Harmon on NCIS. While Kunal is known for his acting, his Instagram account Buddha in Jeans shares deep spiritual wisdom which Kunal brings with him to this episode. He discusses the importance of seeing past perception and shares how his experiences of anxiety and debilitating panic attacks led him to hypnotherapy and a modern day path of self-discovery.

Ya gotta get Jim Parsons on here and do a Fun With Flags episode. Mental health red flags and when to wave a white flag, if ever.
Wonderful.
How clever! Great idea.
Please get Jim on. We beg.
Love this idea!
Love this idea
He is lucky he grew up in a culture that does yoga, meditation and knows how to be present. Took me 35 years to find that bliss.
Most meaningful conversation thus far in my opinion: “Is not about good thoughts or bad thoughts, but who’s listening.” I’m so happy I stopped to watch this and to get to know Mr. Nayyar better. What an extraordinary human being he is. I knew nothing whatsoever about him as a person. This was a great and inspiring introduction. Bravo!
That means a lot. Thank you so much Delcia for your comment, and for being a loyal listener!
I mirror your sentiment. I really enjoyed listening. 😍💥
I agree! Wow! I have to listen to this podcast a few more times to absorb everything. Powerful conversation! ❤️
Definitely!
Same here. I’m glad you tube popped this video up as a suggestion!
What a mind blowing podcast. Really deep and the whole concept of spirituality and the beauty of Hinduism brought out so wonderfully. Thank you Kunal and thank you Mayim !
Fan of The Big Bang Theory , sir ??
You are a fan too? Interesting. . . CA student here and your subscriber
Hii... Sir
Beauty of hinduism 😂😂😂
Kunal looks like Raj when he was back from the North Pole at the end season 2.
Thats the funny thing ... he is raj ... he is raj
Saanvi..He is Raj. 😊
I thought all the guys looked good in their beards.
Lol so true😄😄
Exactly...
OMG! Kunal is such an amazing person! Seems like you can sit down with him and talk about anything for hours and hours and never get bored. I loved this episode of breakdown 💗
“You can be there for someone, but you can’t do the work for them. You just cannot.”
This is so true. No matter how many friends we have, no matter how strong our support system is, if we don’t take the courage to fight what’s inside us, we will be stuck in our situation. We have to help and stand-up for ourselves. Another heartfelt episode! Kunal is such a wise man. Love you all💕
I agree with what you said here!, Vianca!!
Well said! ❤️
I’m happy to see an Indian talking India’s spirituality/ culture with pride. Thanks kunal.
Well yes because there seems to be a great divide with Indians, either they are very spiritual or religious or not at all, very uninvolved or atheist. A lot of more of the latter than people realize
@@bluelotus9654 well, that’s the beauty of this Indian culture/religion . I mean Hindu religion (that’s what invaders called it)
Hindus comes in various forms and with different belief system
1. Who believes in god(n #of gods lol)
2. Who believes nature is the god
3. They can also be atheists
4. Believe in one universal soul(and us being a tiny part of it)
Etc etc.. it’s for us to decide what we can learn and what to choose ,that’s seeking [spirituality]
You can question anyone as long as they do not demean their beliefs. It’s lot more i can ever explain. That progressive it was. It always amazes me. And people just are so screwed,they don’t realize this beauty. Even me until a couple of years ago. Now I just feel absolutely lucky/grateful to be born here.
@Madhav Sharma Hinduism is not the word we use to describe our culture. And definitely it's not a religion name we called ourselves before invasion.
@@bluelotus9654 you're delusion.. get over your hate with Indian
@@yinyang.333 are you feeling ok? Speaking of being delusional.... go get help
I opened notes on my phone as I was listening and started jotting down some of the things Kunal was saying. The one that has been stuck in my head since then is “You can’t run from yourself anymore, then you have a meeting with yourself and you decide.” I realized during quarantine that I’ve been running for years and something needs to change. I’m working through those details, but I’m getting there. I enjoy the way your podcast gets me thinking each week.
If you & Jonathan are the first 2 members of Kunal’s cult, I call dibs of being the 3rd!
Can I be the 4th one😀
I’m the 5th one..and the apostle overseas!
And also how Indians are smarter than Americans in that they know that people don’t get sick from Boogey Germs, but rather because of upsetting traumatic events in their lives. The Germ Theory is fraud and it’s been a repeated lie for 100 years.
6th here
xoxoxo
Mayim is just an absolute delight, she genuinely radiates good vibes and she’s helped me through out lockdown more than she could possibly ever know ☺️
And she is not afraid to draw a face on her hand as a conversation starter😆❤❤BBT4EVA❤❤
I TOTALLY AGREE
@@Szupilami q 21st
“Take responsibility for how you perceive things.” That hit home. Thank you
What a beautiful man. I know I am going to listen to this again very soon. I could listen to Kunal for hours.
I cannot articulate this in a better way, except that this interview made me cry so hard. The things Kunal said about knowing our true self hit me so hard.
"It's not about a good thought or a bad thought, it's about who's in here listening." That blew my goddamn mind, Kunal, you are an absolute gem. This was a powerful, powerful conversation.
I admire the fact that Kunal’s parents left England to take care of their parents. That’s true love. Wish more people thought of taking care of their aging parents
That part I loved too❤️🙏
Yes 👏
That's one of the religious Dharmic duty.
That's karmic duty, check out the vedic story of the shravan
@@marshallmarthes It is One of the 5 yajya called Pitr yajya ( पितृज्ञ), it means to serve the parents and other elders. Vedic samhitas are revelations, hence contains no story. Story of shravan is inspiring but it is from Ramayana which is a history text.
This was so thought-provoking. I particularly loved it when he was talking about how people let the circumstances that they were born into define them. It's a complex relationship because they can be important components of who we become and that connection can be very positive, but at the same time, we often use them as an excuse to limit ourselves. Kunal said that it's a cage we enjoy being in and I find that very true.
True
That's so relatable.
What a lovely interview! I love how he wraps it up..."It's ok, everyone's fine!" We are all human, living and experiencing what it's like to be human, which includes joy and also anxiety. It's all ok.
“It doesn’t cost anything to look within”
Mayim, this podcast is outstanding. Cheyenne and Kunal, sharing their struggles and their journey to betterment shines a bright light into helping these situations. The panic attacks that happen in the car are the worst. Having to pull over. I have to get out of the car. Shaking, crying, hyperventilating. Its worse when the children are in the car. My job as a parent is to keep them safe. You lose that during an attack.
Thank you for all of this. We can all walk towards a helpful path thanks to your guest, and your, advice. Lots of love.
HOpe you feel better.
Just another voice here to say that this interview is phenomenal. Thank you, Mayim, Kunal, and Jonathan!
I was hanging on to Kunal’s words too. He’s such a special person. I’ll join his cult. He’s so calming. I think we all need that. Meditation is key in finding a calm. It’s taken me 50 yrs (my age now), to learn I need 5 minutes to breathe.
This is ... beyond a doubt.... the most honest, open, interesting, inspiring and in my opinion ...awesome interview I have ever heard and witnessed.
Thank you Kunal and Mayim.
Amen!
I literally said to my sister two days past, "what if jim or kunal comes one day"!? Later we convinced ourselves that's never going to happen and my goodness this just made my day!
Hope you sent it to them!!! And enjoyed the episode!!
@@MayimBialik Omg!!! I woke up to this, me and my sis are freaking out! We admire you so much and we're from India too! We still can't believe this, We love you and your genuine work! This is surreal, Thank you for replying!
As a Portland native, I get so giddy whenever someone mentions my city. Thank you for speaking about so kindly, Kunal 💖
I don’t know why there are 40 people who disliked this video, but Mayim, please continue to upload these kinds of informative video for us, avid listeners, and even to the other silent viewers here 💜
Kunal hit a new cord with me. I have ptsd anxiety and panic attacks. He helped bring to life how I feel. My counselor has tried to make me see my problems from my past as I feel comfortable holding onto them. I feel God is there for me but it's having faith for others good but I lack it for me. I know I deserve love like others but for some reason I can't give it freely for me. Thank you for this broadcast.
And now he can talk
It's happening just as I said it would...the healing phase of being "scared to death " is pneumonia, aka "flu". So as people are released from the solitary confinement of their homes (because of media and government lies based on the fraudulent Germ Theory), and people begin to get happy and feel less stressed, the result will be the healing phase....of pneumonia. The fear campaign has caused ALL the illnesses, not a Boogey Virus.
Every disease is based on the Germ Theory, which was the theory of ONE man over 100 years ago. It was never proven to be 100% valid, and has not even been QUESTIONED again. Why? In order for a theory to be valid, it must be reproduceable in each and every person 100% of the time. Every single person exposed to a "virus" MUST get sick from it 100% of the time, over and over again. It's how you PROVE a theory is valid. This was never done. Scientists used to think witches and witchcraft were valid!! Educated people?? hahaha!! If you cannot "catch" cancer, arthritis or diabetes from another person, then you cannot "catch" a cold or flu. There is no such thing that only SOME diseases are communicable, but not all. It's either all or none of them...they are all based on the same Germ Theory. If you can't "catch" someone's lung cancer, you can't "catch" their colds or flu. Upsetting and distressing events in a person's life is what cause ALL cancer and cancer-equivalent disease, cold, flu, pneumonia, bronchitis, etc. The cause of death in Small Pox was PNEUMONIA, not acne lesions. The only people who “caught” Small Pox were the ones who were attacking each other..Indians and Militia....people who feared and were attacked by each other. A massive fear campaign will CAUSE people to be "worried sick", but sickness doesn't happen until people resolve their fears. Why do you think kids get sick in October? Because their fear of going back to school and being upset about it finally dissolves, and they get back into their routines. What the media and government is doing to people is criminal. Western Medicine is pure fraud. I can't be the only person in this disgustingly brainwashed world who knows about German New Medicine.
Lol 😂
OMG I can hear Amy lmao
@@AgendaInMind Wow, your opinion is definitely not based on reality.
When you are the only one who knows some thing you think is important it is incredibly hard to not share it. The question is how do you know what you know is true or the reality?.......For example if one person hallucinates they may believe in what they see or here. They may believe they are the only one who has this important information..... What is the best way to make them see what the they think they know is just a hallucination.....?
Open question..... would like your thoughts
"Before I run away from myself" . pacing in garden listening to this and that made me tear up. I have diagnosed adhd and suspected aspergers and lost jobs because of exhausting myself trying to be "normal". Dr pushed pills at me to control anxiety and panic and I had the same moment as Kunal, "No, I want to find myself, not run from it anymore".
Thank you Kunal for sharing your personal moment. 🌻
Hey, I'm struggling hard to find/keep a job because of my ADHD and Asperger's as well. I'm scared of what will come when I leave university soon. You're definitely not alone, sending my good thoughts to you!
@@SatieSatie thank you 🌸💛 wishing you the best of luck in finding a job that accomodates your needs in a kind way.
I miss him 🥺 Edit: Kunal was a bright spot on IG during the first months of quarantine. He is such a calm presence.
This episode totally spoke to me. Panic attacks in the car...totally. I first started with mine during a break from a conference; I was at lunch and could not eat. I got in the car and could not drive. And I hear the elevator fear, too. It was a two-year journey that changed my life. You are one person inside and another outside. Very true. Grateful to have strategies I live with now that keep anxiety at bay. This episode was so true to life. Thank you, Mayim.
What a great gift for my 39th birthday (yes, i'm disappointing my mother since 1982) :) Love from Poland
Happy birthday :)
Happy birthday from Germany!
Happy birthday!!
Happy Birthday!!
Happy birthday from Barcelona, Catalonia! 🎂
Kunal is so wise. I am here paying attention while I am trying to learn and study english and at the same time I am feeling totally connected with all things he is saying. Its just something like that I had to listen and this episode was made to me. Such a incredible talk thats help me thought about bad feelings I currently dealing with. I am a big fan from Brazil, thanks. Xoxo
What an amazing episode! Kunal’s spiritual journey was fascinating and life affirming. I was almost ready to fill out the form to join his cult as member #3 right behind you, Mayim and Jonathan!😌
I started watching intending to listen to about 10 minutes of this just to see what Kunal was like in person, but was mesmerised and listened to the entire broadcast. Well done to all of you, a really interesting session.
This is the first episode of the breakdown that I’m listening to, and the sheer wisdom that oozes out of this whole conversation is staggering. “You are in the present “ - the simplest yet the most complex understanding that each one of us has to come to.
Dude, write a book, I need all these wise words in written form! Absolutely awesome. My journey with mental health is very similar to that of Kunal, I also was afraid to take any medication, and so I had to work my ass of in therapy, still doing it, coz as he said, there's no finality to this. I like, identified with so much of what he said it's unbelievable. I truly believe that when people start accepting the reality, the real reality and not our expectations of it, real change starts to happen. I am obssesed with the podcast, amazing work Mayim and Jonathan and everyone!
He has written one. It’s name is « Yes, My accent is real ». I loved it.
Finally raj is here... Cant wait for sheldon and howard anymore
Wow
I mean wow.. Deep yet so light .
Thankyou Mayim, thankyou Kunal
After minute 44, things started to get deeper and I cried in realization of my current self awareness. I have worked so hard to be where I currently am, and these were just words of affirmation of me being in the right path. I am so grateful for you Mayim Jonathan and Kunal.
"I'm functioning on the outside and I'm dying on the inside." Couldn't give a more accurate description for a lot of us.
I'm dying more than function these days.
Functioning outward in disguise, barely alive inside. Your mind cannot tell you which foot to put forward first. It's deep a therapist chats for any hour, okay, see you in two weeks. Click..... (tele health) this is a pathway to or from hell. At my age, we'll never reach the points which are the most valid parts in my life.
Wow I am happily surprised at Kunal’s journey and wisdom. Extremely positive and mentally healthy. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you for this podcast as I have lived with PTSD , anxiety and panic attacks for many years. I finally resigned after 32.5 yrs of govt work prior to being eligible for my pension due to these issues. Ty for all that you do!! I look forward to listening to more episodes.
I am obsessed with this podcast and I get so excited seeing the RUclips notifications 🥺🥰
Same 🥰
Mayim Bialik's breakdown has really helped me with my own inner breakdowns in many ways. I really sat through the entire runtime. Super good conversation style. Truly truly engaging.
Wonderful reunion with Kunal. His words are heartfelt and he's a calming presence every time I listen to him. Thank you!
I like the intimacy that this show has been able to create--right from the get-go.
Mayim, your podcast is truly the best on RUclips, so awesome. Thank you so much!!!
I agree with this I grew up in the states, but my Dad is a Thai Physician, my Mother is American and we frequented Thailand and the exposure to poverty and class and multiple religions and East vs West. I understand. Also, my close friends were Indian too, I’m a part of that community too. I loved the wakefulness and consciousness discussion.
Good time to listen to this today. Just learned a neighbor/friend had a stroke at the age of 50. Helpful calming words Guru Kunal, so young, so wise.
I think I came closer to be in the present by listening to Kunal. Remedied my pain. thank you guys
Kunal is an absolutely beautiful man. I’m loving these podcasts/videos Mayim! They are much needed by many and so very well done. Thank you thank you thank you!
I’m two years “late” to this video but in the right place of mind to hear what he’s saying and looking forward to keep on learning about what he said. Incredible soul and mind 😊
I watched your show with Kunal today, one of your best ones yet. He is an amazing man. Thanks for doing this Mayim.
I finally watched this episode and I can’t express how much this hit home. When Kunal was talking about his experiences every fiber in my being was screaming out. I have been experiencing most of what he was talking about, the thoughts are controlling me, but I know now I need to work on how I should feel. Thank you for this cause I have a lot of work to do. I want to feel more in control how I feel.❤️
"I was functioning on the outside, and dying on the inside" 👀 that hit me hard!!! That's me right now! 😢
I want to thank you for this podcast! I found this video on RUclips and realized it was a podcast. I’ve never listened podcast or audiobooks before, because I couldn’t concentrate and I just listened to the music instead. Then I just turned on this episode to fall asleep and found out that o can’t fall asleep as it’s too interesting!
So I’m hooked now and it’s because of your podcast. Very interesting X very informative and easy to listen!
This was a wonderful interview. I don't know if Kunal will see this, but thank you for being so open and generous.
Not just the look. and the accent, its the tone and quite confidence in his voice. I also agree, I could listen to him all day long....so well thought out and explains things so well.
I suffer from panic attacks where I feel like I’m going to die. I thank all of you for the so close to heart talk. Namasday
He's got such a beautiful soul. Another thump up from me!
Agree! :) 💜
So Mayim, that experience you are feeling when hearing Kunal's voice where you say it "brings me into the presece" is a valid spiritual experience called Satsang. It is when the person's focus allows you to become the truth speaking. Many Indian devotional groups exercise Satsang, it's like Service in Talking.
This episode is so cool. Oh Call out is for Calgary, AB (specifically the trendy area called Kensington)
I love listening to Kunal speaking. His explanations are so clear to me...
this podcast was one of the best things i've ever heard people saying... thank you so much for you three having this conversation and letting us admire those amazing words! I really appreciate it!
These interviews are awesome! Kunal's book Yes, My Accent Is Real is also fantastic
I couldn't have stumbled upon this conversation at a better time.
Thankyou for this❤️
Thank you Mayim and thank you Kunal! I love the point that was made that "looking within" does not take money or specific time, it only takes actually doing it. Truth and being in the moment. Awesome!
I’ve never ever heard anyone talk about fear of driving before - I had that come upon me out of nowhere 3 years ago... then I was stuck in an elevator for 20 minutes after a doctor’s appointment... it’s difficult to be mindful sometimes
It's so nice to see them together and how Kunal tells his life
wow!!! I've suffered from panic attacks for years...and Kunal's description was spot on. I've never been able to explain it to anyone!!!
This episode was so helpful for me. I’m always saying how difficult it is to be struggling (physically, emotionally or both) when you are trying to look okay on the outside. Getting in touch with what’s happening inside, with your true self, is key. How each of us gets there will be unique to our individual circumstances. It’s also wonderful to see Kunal, and to know that he is finding his own way to self. Thank you for sharing this conversation. 🤗❤️😊
Kunal as Rajesh😍😘 was one of my favorite person on Big Bang Theory. He was such a vibe. Great to see this reunion. Would love to see the rest of the beloved💕 cast especially Jim Parsons a.k.a Sheldon the Genius. 😄
Kunal, you should definitely consider sharing your philosophies and understandings with the world on a greater scale. It might not be the most popular idea, yet, but there's a huge need and demand for it in the world. I loved all of this. Thank you, all three of you, for the amazing awareness you are spreading. We all need more of it as inspiration and tools on our own journeys.
This was a REALLY GREAT episode! So worth keeping and REWATCHING!! Kunal was very wise! I’m so glad he came on and TALKED about his way of living, learning, self digesting what HE’S LEARNED! If I wasn’t a fan of his character (cuz I was and still am a huge fan of Big Bang Theory! I knew people who were JUST LIKE ALL THE CHARACTERS!), I am now!!
I finished Big bang theory today and found your RUclips channel today..Thank God I found it❤️ loved this podcast..love you..love Kunal, he is amazing. It's nice to see how proud he is about our culture ❤️
This has to be one of the most interesting video's surrounding this topic that I've ever seen
I saw Criminal and was struck by Kunal's portrayal of the "bad guy". It was chills! Loved it.
I came across this youtube channel when browsing. I have been a fan of BBT. This channel made things easy for me these days. Thank you Dr. Subscribing and Sharing! All the ❤️
So interesting to hear your beautiful minds in this episode! Happy to hear you each week!
Kunal Nayyar what a fascinating person he is. Searching for self truth is not easy you have to admit you are not a pefect person, nor a wise person nor anything else that we humans get hung up about, an amazing interview.
I love Kunal, he is an amazing speaker. He has a calming way about him.
Indeed his voice puts me in a centered crystal clear state that lets the static out and the underlying and undeniable true surfaces for examination and understanding
THIS WAS SUCH A COOL SURPRISE love Kunal and can’t wait to watch this episode 🏃♀️
This is my best podcast find. Thank you so much Mayim.
This is so inspiring. WE all fight our own battles and listening to this conversation was very enjoyable and inspiring! Thank you guys! 😊
Agreed
One of the most profound podcasts I've heard in a long long time.... more of these please ❤
Since the first episode, this is hands-down my favourite podcast! All such beautiful people
I found this by accident, but I’m so glad I did. Thank you, you have no idea how much I needed this. Gentle bear hugs xx
You are doing great work by talking about stuff that needs to be talked about. Thank you. ❤️
I scared my son screaming, "I went to the University with the actor that played Raj from The Big Bang Theory!" I only went my freshman year 1999.
"What would I do with all my freedom?" Esa idea acerca de la jaula en la que nos sentimos seguros es una de las cosas mas profundas que he escuchado en mi vida. Thanks Mayim for having this conversation. Thanks Mr Nayyar.
Right, anxiety bout future becomes addictive, my family copes with a plethora of issues n I have always been the cheerleader, but I am also bipolar n I agree. I decided to not take mood stabilizers cuz numbs my creativity BUT I have done TONS of ongoing inner peace practices and guided meditations to Focus on the Present. Thx for sharing your panic attacks, Mayim n Kunal. I often wonder if the world's imbalance is causing this intuitive/mental imbalance in us. We are finally talking about the HUGE mental illness issues in the Western world.... LOVE you guys for sharing!!! Bless yall 🙏
Such an inspiring interview. Thank you for doing this Mayim!
It feels like sorority listening to you and him, I am not impressed about the fact he is aware of panick attacks, because I think a lot of people struggles with it and say it almost never because of the shame, the interesting part is realizing we all have different triggers, for me was putting myself in situations of extreme stress where I was not myself and had to endure a lot of dark circumstances, since I started meditating every single day all of that vanished, it is amazing, a year ago I was still struggling and now, thanks to all of this changes due to the pandemic circumstances I have finally heal❤ thanks for sharing this, much love
Loved this podcast so much that I immediately had to listen to it again! Really enjoying your work! Thank you!
So much wisdom! I love it! "The gap between the two thoughts! That's where I found myself!" So powerful!
Thank you for doing these videos. I just recently came across these and started watching them. This one really spoke to me and I appreciate all 3 of you taking the time to talk about mental health and your own experiences.
Late to the party but I'm so glad I found this podcast. Thank you, Mayim Bialik.
Wow! He’s a great speaker!
Totally agree with Kunal, for a long time I was miserable and riddled with panic disorder. After awakening I went through painstaking process. Thank you Kunal for stepping up as a lightworker; there are many of us out here. That reach out and do this with out asking a dime for any of it. So those who can't afford stepping into the mindful life we are out here for you. Many Blessings Mea 🙏💜
Mayim, this was a beautiful episode. I was amazed to see this side of Kunal and you! Loved the questions you asked! This helped me immensely! I was anxious today and after listening to this I am feeling present :)
Mayim I just finished the Big Bang Theory. Binge watched this amazing series and now I found this podcast with one of my favorite characters...thank you for it all.
