Katha as Pedagogy: Embedding Vedanta, Jyotisha, and Atman in Storytelling | Katha Series #7

from Rajiv Malhotra's Podcast · host Rajiv Malhotra

How did ancient Rishis combine empirical science with profound metaphysics? In Episode 7, Smt. Vandana Mishra challenges the Western Grand Narrative by illustrating how Sanātana Dharma has always integrated scientific observation with Addhyatmic wisdom. Through the Katha of Bhagwan Ganesh and Chandra Dev, we explore how astronomical concepts like Jyotisha were taught alongside ethical conduct and self-realization.Smt. Vandana explains how Daṇḍa Neeti (correction methodology) operates not as divine vengeance, but as a mechanism for rehabilitating the mind and controlling ego. By bridging abstract Gyan(Vedanta) with lived experience, Kathas safeguard our traditions against systemic Digestion and Category Imposition. This session provides viewers with the Civilizational Literacy required to claim their Narrative Sovereignty. Join us to understand why the wearer of the clothes —the Atman—is the ultimate focus of all Dharmic inquiry!Register here- https://tinyurl.com/ymv4upepDirection & Cinematography : Biswajit MalakarEditing, Sound design & animation : Rajkumar ThoratEditor & Audio : Ankit Singh Script : Vandana MishraBased on works by Rajiv Malhotra & infinity Foundation Who Is Raising Your Children? - https://whoisraisingyourchildren.com/Battle For Consciousness Theory - http://battleforconsciousnesstheory.comSnakes in the Ganga - http://www.snakesintheganga.comVarna Jati Caste - http://www.varnajaticaste.comThe Battle For IIT's - http://www.battleforiits.comPower of future Machines - http://www.poweroffuturemachines.com10 heads of Ravana - http://www.tenheadsofravana.comTo support Infinity Foundation’s projects including the continuation of such episodes and the research we do:इनफिनिटी फ़ौंडेशन की परियोजनाओं को अनुदान देने के लिए व इस प्रकार के एपिसोड और हमारे द्वारा किये जाने वाले शोध को जारी रखने के लिए: http://infinityfoundation.com/donate-2/
