from Chai Across Generations · host Nikil and Shankar
We welcome Tim Bruster, a retired United Methodist pastor, who met Shankar by chance after a delayed flight turned into friendly conversation and, eventually, a real friendship. Tim read Shankar's book, "The Seven Steps to Bliss: A Modern Upanishad," and we wanted to hear what he took from it.Tim shares how the book gave him a deeper understanding of Hinduism, and the three of us dig into what resonated with him. He talks about how the book's core message, about moving forward on your own spiritual path, is a value that matters to everybody, regardless of what you believe, and how relatable that makes it.It's a conversation about spiritual growth as something universal, not confined to any one tradition, and about the quiet joy of realizing that different faiths might be pointing at the same underlying truth.You can purchase your copy of "The Seven To Steps: A Modern Upanishad" audiobook here: https://www.drshankarcoach.com/product-page/audiobook-the-seven-steps-to-bliss-a-modern-upanishad
