Why Social Justice Needs Religious Convergence with Swami Padmanabha (Part 2)

Hunger for Wholeness: Why Social Justice Needs Religious Convergence with Swami Padmanabha (Part 2)In Part 2 of Ilia Delio’s conversation with Swami Padmanabha, Ilia and Swami explore the relationship between religious convergence, inter-faith dialogue and social justice. They ask whether religion can possibly play a role in modern peace, and what affects the radical personal spirit can have on global wholeness.ABOUT SWAMI PADMANABHA"We have a commitment to our potential."Swami Padmanabha is an author, monk, and spiritual mentor. For the last 25 years, he has been following the devotional branch of Hindu monotheism known as Vaishnavism (often referred to as bhakti) while at the same time deeply engaged in interfaith dialogue, or what he calls “theological cross pollination.” Swami travels around the world each year as a retreat leader, public speaker, and community-builder. Being a valued scholar in his tradition, his work also includes hundreds of articles and seminars, as well as copious presentations in universities and academic circles. Swami Padmanabha´s first book, “Inherent of Inherited?”, was widely acclaimed by both practitioners and scholars of his tradition. At present, Swami is touring the US while presenting his second book, “Radical Personalism: Revival Manifesto for Proactive Devotion.” To learn more about Swami Padmanabha visit: http://swamipadmanabha.com.arSupport the showA huge thank you to all of you who subscribe and support our show!
