Does Hinduism Really Exist? | The Free Radical Podcast #56 — Arjuna | October, 15, 2025

In this episode of the Free Radical Podcast, Swami Padmanabha sits down with Arjuna—devotee, podcaster, and creator of Theology Unleashed. Based in Auckland, New Zealand, Arjuna has been practicing bhakti-yoga for 15 years, grew up in a Christian background, and brings a thoughtful, inclusivist lens to the world’s wisdom traditions. Together they explore a provocative question: Does “Hinduism” really exist?Where did the term come from? Does it actually reflect the richness and diversity of the Indian subcontinent’s traditions—ranging from atheism, skepticism, and logic to panentheism, polytheism, monotheism, impersonalism, and radical personalism? Or does it flatten this vast landscape into something misleadingly uniform? ✨ This conversation unpacks the nuances behind the term and searches for creative, universal ways to engage with India’s spiritual heritage—and beyond—in a manner that truly honors its depth and diversity.
