Lived Hinduism: Religion Beyond Academics Parts 1 & 2
from Common Threads: An Interfaith Dialogue · host Fred Stella
One of the major beefs (OK, not the best word in this context here) that so many Hindu friends have with academia is that when they study Hinduism in high school & college they don't really recognize the religion they've been practicing all their lives. This is often due to the colonial mindset that many researchers hold. In these 2 episodes I speak to a couple of brilliant academicians who have attempted to present Hinduism in book that features multiple points of view, but focus not on the lore of old, but as it is lived in modern times. This is from 2017. Enjoy Theme music "Nigal."
