Welcome back to Words That Burn, the poetry podcast taking a closer look at poetry. In this episode, host Benjamin Collopy offers a close reading of Kaveh Akbar's "Famous Americans and Why They Were Wrong", from his 2021 collection Pilgrim Bell.The poem runs to seven couplets and moves from a ribbon tied around an oak tree to a wish that somebody forgets you today. Benjamin situates Akbar as a poet formed by prayer and by place, tracing the poet's biography from a boy reciting Arabic he could not translate to a writer preoccupied with what empire does to language.In This Episode, I Explore:The Ribbon and the Hostage Crisis: Why the opening image reads so strangely to a non American audience, and how the yellow ribbon curdled from a welcome into a warning after 1979. We follow the poem discussion through the oak's roots sinking into the dirt and the heart that sinks alongside them, and ask what exactly is seeping into whom.Akbar's Ghazal: A look at the form, its couplets, its refrains, and the strict rules Akbar declines to follow. The ghazal is famous for what Agha Shahid Ali called its formal disunity, and that disunity turns out to be the literary technique doing the heaviest lifting here. We break down how enjambment carries meaning across couplets that seem unrelated on the page, one of several literary devices worth slowing down for.Data at the Centre of a Heart: The sinking library, the architect who forgot the weight of the books, and Akbar's argument that empire uses abstraction to cudgel us into idleness. We look at what the word "data" is doing in a poem that also treats untranslated prayer as a kind of data, and why only one of those is sacred.The Mercy of Being Forgotten: Why a poem about erasure ends by wishing for it. Visibility inside an empire is rarely a gift, and Akbar's closing hope is offered in the grammar of prayer, which is to say with no guarantee anyone is listening.Accessible enough for poetry for beginners and no prior reading required. As always, this poetry interpretation belongs to Benjamin and is very much up for debate.

Global Reverberations of Palestinian Historical Trauma: A SAND Community Gathering with Dr. Samah Jabr, Dr. Gabor Maté & Dr. Jennifer Mullan, facilitated by Dr. Jess Ghannam Join us for a conversation marking the book launch of Radiance and Pain in Resilience, a powerful collection of essays by Palestinian psychiatrist, psychotherapist, and internationally respected mental health advocate Dr. Samah Jabr. We are gathering in the midst of genocide. The massive, deliberate traumatization of an entire people, cheered, funded, and shielded from accountability by Western governments, is unfolding in real time. As Israel's assault on Gaza continues to annihilate bodies, families, and entire lineages, this conversation refuses to look away. It asks what it is to tend to the psyche under conditions of systematic destruction. Drawing on decades of clinical practice, political analysis, and lived experience under occupation, Dr. Jabr examines the psychological consequences of colonization, displacement, and historical trauma on the Palestinian people. Through personal reflections, case studies, and cultural critique, she challenges dominant Western paradigms of mental health and offers a decolonial, psycho-spiritual framework rooted in dignity, collective care, resistance, and truth. Proceeds from this conversation go directly to Project Hope Palestine, supporting 500 orphaned children living at Al-Baraka orphan camp in Gaza. Guests Dr. Samah Jabr is a psychiatrist practicing in Palestine, serving communities in East Jerusalem and the West Bank. She was formerly Head of the Mental Health Unit within the Palestinian Ministry of Health and is an Associate Clinical Professor of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at George Washington University. She is the author of several books including Behind the Frontlines, Sumud, Sumud in Times of Genocide, and most recently Radiance in Pain and Resilience: The Global Reverberations of Palestinian Historical Trauma. Dr. Gabor Maté is a physician, trauma expert, and bestselling author of The Myth of Normal, In the Realm of Hungry Ghosts, and When the Body Says No. Dr. Jennifer Mullan is a clinical psychologist and the author of the national bestseller Decolonizing Therapy: Oppression, Historical Trauma, and Politicizing Your Practice. She is the founder of Decolonizing Therapy®. Dr. Jess Ghannam (facilitator) is Clinical Professor of Psychiatry and Global Health Sciences at UCSF.

Despite their modern reputation, pigeons were once beloved by royalty. Akbar the Great, ruler of the Mughal Empire in the 16th Century, kept over 20,000 pigeons. Owning pigeons in parts of Europe was a privilege restricted to the nobility. Pigeon ownership became a flashpoint during the French Revolution, when commoners finally gained the right to raise pigeons. Learn more in Rosemary Mosco's book, A Pocket Guide to Pigeon Watching.

Dr. Beckett recaps Kyle Robertson's busy Watters Creek Dallas Card Show, praising it as top-notch in the U.S. (behind only the National and Toronto Sports Expo) and noting aggressive pricing and big sales. After missing Thursday to attend an event honoring his wife's volunteer work, he returns Friday, shares an interaction that leads to meeting Akbar's wife, and describes why the show is his “happy place” for both buying and listening to hobby conversations. Beckett discusses fewer dollar boxes due to dealer changes and sell-outs, his bulk-buy discount approach, and discomfort with being offered special treatment as “the price guide guy.” He previews a future episode about a Friday-night hobby dinner and lists the eight attendees, and closes with upcoming shows and invitations for future hobby dinners.   00:28 Why Dallas Stands Out 01:46 Missing Thursday and Dealer Sellouts 03:50 Talking Star Basketball with Dave Dzendzel 04:44 Dollar Box Routine and Show Chatter 05:24 Two Overheard Hobby Conversations 07:07 Fewer Dollar Boxes and Pricing Strategy 08:30 Secret Shopper and Fair Deals 09:21 Hobby Dinner Plans and Sunday Skip 10:25 Dinner Guest Roll Call 11:28 Wrap Up and Future Dinners

There's a moment in Hajj most people only think about as a logistical headache — the stoning of the Jamarāt. Crowded, hot, exhausting. You queue up, you throw, you move on.But behind that act is one of the most instructive scenes in our religion. And it happens to a father and a son, thousands of years before any of us were born.-----Ibrāhīm ﷺ waited decades for a child. He was an old man — the only worshipper of Allāh in his world. Just him, his wife, and his cousin Lūṭ. That was the entire ummah.He made duʿāʾ. Allāh gave him a son.And then, as soon as Ismāʿīl reached the age the Qurʾān describes as **بَلَغَ مَعَهُ السَّعْيَ** — old enough to walk with him, work with him, hike with him, that beautiful pre-teenage age where the father is still the hero — Allāh told Ibrāhīm in a dream to slaughter him.I want you to sit with that for a second.Not as a young man tested with his own life. As a father, tested with his only son. Allāh wasn't asking him for everything. Allāh was asking him for the *one thing* most dear to him.This is the test that meets you in fatherhood. The test of whether Allāh comes before everything — including the people you love most.Both of them passed. Both submitted. The son said:> يَا أَبَتِ افْعَلْ مَا تُؤْمَرُ ۖ سَتَجِدُنِي إِن شَاءَ اللَّهُ مِنَ الصَّابِرِينَ> > *O my dear father, do as you have been commanded. You will find me, in shāʾ Allāh, among the patient ones.*-----Now here is the part I want you to focus on.On the way to the slaughter, Iblīs came. And what he whispered wasn't crude. It was clever. He listed every sacrifice Ibrāhīm had already made: *You were thrown into the fire. You were exiled. You migrated. You circumcised at an old age. Hasn't Allāh asked enough of you? And now your only son?*Ibrāhīm ﷺ didn't argue. He didn't debate. He didn't even just make duʿāʾ for protection.He bent down. He picked up seven pebbles. And he threw them.*Allāhu Akbar. Allāhu Akbar. Allāhu Akbar.*Then he moved.Iblīs came again, at a second spot. Seven more pebbles. *Allāhu Akbar.* He moved again.Iblīs came a third time. Seven pebbles. *Allāhu Akbar.* And Iblīs left, and didn't come back.-----Every Hajj, two to three million Muslims re-enact this. We throw stones at three pillars. We say *Allāhu Akbar.* We move on.But I think most of us don't realise what we're commemorating. We're not just throwing rocks at a symbol of evil. We're rehearsing a *method*.**Ibrāhīm didn't only make duʿāʾ. He picked up stones.**This is something I think about a lot. We have a tendency, when something is hard, to make duʿāʾ and then sit down. As if duʿāʾ alone is the entire toolkit. As if Allāh wants nothing more from us than our words.But Allāh gave us hands. He gave us bodies. He gave us pebbles. He wants to see what skin we have in the game. Not just our tongues — our *physicality.* He wants to see us bend down, pick something up, and throw it.Make duʿāʾ. *And then act.*-----The second thing Ibrāhīm did was even more underrated.**He moved.**He didn't stay at the same spot and keep throwing. He moved to a new location. And then another.This is huge. Because the lesson is: your environment shapes you. You cannot defeat the whisper of Iblīs while standing in the same place that lets him whisper.We have a principle in Islam — *al-jārū qabla al-dār.* The neighbour before the house. Look at your neighbourhood before you look at the property. The Prophet ﷺ said a person is on the religion of their closest friend. The one you spend the most time with — that's who you become.So when we ask Allāh to protect us from a sin, from a bad habit, from a toxic relationship, from a destructive workplace — and then we go right back into the same room, with the same people, in the same scroll, on the same screen — we are standing where Ibrāhīm refused to stand.Move. Move your body. Move your house. Move your friendship circle. Move your phone out of the bedroom. If you keep falling asleep when you open the muṣḥaf, don't read in bed — find a chair, find a desk, have a cup of coffee.Don't try to outlast Iblīs from his own territory. Pick up the pebbles, throw, and walk somewhere else.-----Here's what gives me hope.Ibrāhīm ﷺ moved *three times.* And then Iblīs left. He didn't come back.That's the promise embedded in this story. If you keep throwing and you keep moving, eventually the whisper gives up and goes looking for someone else. The struggle isn't infinite. It just feels infinite when you stand still.And the ending of Ibrāhīm and Ismāʿīl's story is the ending of every story where someone gives Allāh everything: nobody died. Allāh replaced the sacrifice with a great one. The son lived. The father was honoured. The act was immortalised in our worship until the end of time.When you put Allāh first — really first, not in a sentimental way but in a *here are my hands, here are my pebbles, here is the room I'm walking out of* kind of way — you don't lose. Barakah flows through everything you touch.-----So this Dhū al-Ḥijjah, even if you're not at the Jamarāt this year, take the lesson home with you.What is your Iblīs whispering at you right now? What's the pebble you need to pick up? And — this is the harder one — *what is the spot you need to move from?*Throw. Then move. Throw. Then move.He gives up before you do.-----*With duʿāʾ for those making Hajj this year, and for those still building toward it.* This is a public episode.

Traditionally, interior designers in the UK were well-heeled, well-connected lady decorators with good posture and expensive handbags, creating interiors for people just like them.  One could even go so far as to say ‘Pale, Stale and Female'. It felt like this would never change, but then, in 2020, seemingly out of nowhere, a charity called United in Design appeared with a mission to shine a light on the issue and do something about it! Jeff and Susie welcome Alex Dauley and Eman Akbar from United in Design to talk about the charity, explain what exactly did they set out to do and find out how are they doing it? This episode was recorded at the wonderful showroom of The Rug Company in Chelsea Harbour, London.

Episode 215: Meth-associated HFrEF.   Abishak and Zat (medical students) explain the cardiotoxic effect of methamphetamine and the diagnosis and treatment of heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF). Dr. Arreaza adds insight into the reversibility of meth-associated HFrEF.   Written by Abishak Govindarajan, MSIV and Zat Akbar Shaw. American University of the Caribbean. Edits and comments by Hector Arreaza, MD. Welcome Dr. Arreaza: Welcome to Rio Bravo qWeek. My name is Hector Arreaza, family physician, faculty and associate program director of the Clinica Sierra Vista/Rio Bravo Family Medicine Residency Program. Today we will explore heart failure with reduced ejection fraction, a high-yield and clinically relevant topic in medicine. We will discuss the role of methamphetamine use in the development of HFrEF. This is a pressing issue because about 0.8% of the population 12 and older in the US reported using methamphetamine within the past 12 months in 2024 (National Survey on Drug Use and Health, NSDUH), that's about ≈2.4 million people!We are joined by two aspiring physicians who will help explore this topic. By the way, we will refer to methamphetamine in this episode as “meth”. [Abishak and Akbar introduce themselves] Abishak: [Introduce yourself] The role of meth in HFrEF Dr. Arreaza: Meth is a growing problem in many places, including Bakersfield, where we live. Meth is also known as Meth Crystal, Poor man's cocaine, Ice, Glass, Crank, Speed, Chalk, and Tina. How does meth contribute to the development of HFrEF? Abishak: So, first, let's understand how methamphetamine works. It has a chemical structure similar to dopamine and norepinephrine, and it gets taken up through the neuron transporter proteins. Once it enters the synaptic vesicles (storage sacs for neurotransmitters), it displaces and forces the release of large amounts of dopamine, norepinephrine, and serotonin into the synapse (the space between neurons). Additionally, meth blocks the reuptake of those neurotransmitters into the neuron, ensuring they remain in the synapse for a prolonged period. All this causes a downstream effect of increased sympathetic pathways in the body. Diagnosis Dr. Arreaza: The diagnosis starts with collecting a good history and performing a complete physical exam, and then we confirm with an echocardiogram.  Abishak: Yes, diagnosis requires both symptoms consistent with heart failure and objective evidence of reduced ejection fraction. Echocardiography is the primary diagnostic tool. We also measure BNP. In certain cases, cardiac MRI is used to evaluate myocardial fibrosis and exclude infiltrative or inflammatory etiologies. Coronary angiography may be performed if ischemic disease is suspected.Guideline-Directed Medical Therapy Dr. Arreaza: GDMT Guideline-Directed Medical Therapy started around 1987 when ACE inhibitors were proven to improve mortality in patients with heart failure. Then, during the following decades, many medications have been added to GDMT. Until around 2019–2022 we came out with the main 4 groups of medications that we know as GDMT. Let's talk about GDMT. Akbar: There are four core pillars in GDMT. First, an angiotensin receptor-neprilysin inhibitor, such as sacubitril with valsartan (Entresto), is preferred over ACE inhibitors when tolerated. This medication reduces mortality and heart failure hospitalizations. Second, evidence-based beta blockers including carvedilol, metoprolol succinate, or bisoprolol are used to reduce sympathetic overactivity and improve ventricular remodeling. Third, mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists such as spironolactone or eplerenone reduce fibrosis and improve survival. The Fourth pillar is SGLT2 inhibitors such as dapagliflozin or empagliflozin, which provide significant reductions in heart failure hospitalizations and cardiovascular mortality, regardless of diabetes status. Abishak: Other main parts of the treatment are diuretics, which are used for symptom control but do not reduce long-term mortality. Dr. Arreaza: As a recap: The current 4 pillars of GDMT are: ARNI/ACEi + β-blocker + MRA + SGLT2i)  Beta Blocker Considerations Dr. Arreaza: Sometimes we may be concerned about using beta blockers in active meth users. What did you read about it? Abishak: Historically, there was concern about unopposed alpha stimulation. However, in chronic heart failure, beta blockers remain essential. Carvedilol is often favored because it provides both alpha and beta blockade. Careful titration and close monitoring are critical.Reversibility and Remodeling Dr. Arreaza: Regarding meth-associated HFrEF, we have good news for meth users. Tell us about how reversible this condition is.  Akbar: It can be reversible. One of the most important aspects of this condition is that significant reverse remodeling may occur if the patient stops methamphetamine use and adheres to medical therapy. The Left ventricular ejection fraction can improve substantially and, in some cases, normalize. On the other end of the spectrum, continued meth use may lead to progressive fibrosis, ventricular dilation, and potentially irreversible damage, leading to death.Complications of meth-associated HFrEF Abishak: These patients are at increased risk for ventricular arrhythmias, sudden cardiac death, left ventricular thrombus formation, and progressive pulmonary hypertension. If the ejection fraction remains below 35 percent after at least three months of optimized therapy, implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (known as ICD) placement should be considered for primary prevention.Addiction Treatment as Core Therapy Dr. Arreaza: It sounds like GDMT cannot be done without talking about meth use disorder treatment. Akbar: Absolutely. Treating the myocardium without addressing the substance use disorder is ineffective. Primary care providers can be trained to manage addictions, but if resources are available, you can place a referral to addiction medicine, psychiatric support, behavioral therapy, and social support services. This is an essential part of the treatment. Sustained abstinence is the single most powerful predictor of recovery.Prognosis Abishak: Prognosis is highly dependent on abstinence. Patients who stop using methamphetamine often experience meaningful improvement in EF and even return to normal.  Dr. Arreaza: Yes, the key factor is complete abstinence, plus standard heart failure treatment. If the damage is mostly functional and inflammatory, recovery is possible. If there is extensive fibrosis (scar) recovery is less likely. Observational studies have shown that patients with meth-associated cardiomyopathy who stop using meth have significant improvement in EF over 3–12 months, fewer hospitalizations, and lower mortality. Akbar: Absolutely. Not all meth-associated cardiomyopathy behaves the same way. The extent of fibrosis determines recovery potential. Cardiac MRI with late gadolinium enhancement can help us estimate scar burden. Patients with minimal fibrosis often have better improvement with abstinence and medical therapy. Dr. Arreaza: So, MRI can actually help us determine the prognosis. Abishak: Yes, very much so. If MRI shows extensive fibrosis, the likelihood of full EF recovery is lower. That information helps us counsel patients more accurately. Akbar: Another key issue is right ventricular involvement. Methamphetamine can affect both ventricles. When the right ventricle fails, patients may develop severe peripheral edema, ascites, and hepatic congestion. Right ventricular dysfunction also worsens prognosis significantly. Dr. Arreaza: And pulmonary hypertension can also worsen the whole picture.  Akbar: That's correct. Meth is associated with pulmonary arterial hypertension independently of left-sided heart failure. In some patients, you may see a combined picture of both pulmonary vascular disease and right ventricular dysfunction. That can make management more complicated because pulmonary pressures may remain elevated even after EF improves. Dr. Arreaza: Tells us about the role of BNP in monitoring these patients.  Abishak: Serial BNP levels can help track response to therapy. Additionally, troponin may be elevated at times in meth users due to myocardial injury. Monitoring renal function is critical because many heart failure medications affect kidney function and potassium levels. Akbar:Other lifestyle modifications include sodium restriction, regular follow-ups, vaccination, and avoidance of other cardiotoxic substances such as alcohol or cocaine. Sleep disorders, especially OSA, should be evaluated because untreated OSA worsens heart failure outcomes. Dr. Arreaza: WhatIs there any role for wearable devices or remote monitoring? Abishak: Yes, increasingly so. Remote weight monitoring, blood pressure tracking, and symptom reporting can reduce hospitalization. In select patients, implantable hemodynamic monitors may help detect rising filling pressures before symptoms occur. Dr. Arreaza: It was a great discussion. Thank you, Abishak and Akbar for bringing all that valuable information to us. Let's wrap it up.

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit groundeddaily.substack.comHere's the expanded version:Tafsir Thursday — Surah Al-Muzammil: Stand Up, Pray, and Let Allah Handle the Rest8th of Ramadan ReflectionsWe're one week into Ramadan. If you started slow — that's okay. Ramadan is a marathon. You start steady and sprint towards the end. What we don't want is the opposite: starting strong and slowly fading — attending Taraweeh in the first few nights then drifting away, stopping the extra prayers, and then preparing more for Eid than seeking out the blessings of the last ten nights. The goal is for the last night of Ramadan to be the best night of our Ramadan.The Prophet ﷺ said that whoever stands up and prays at night in the nights of Ramadan, expecting reward only from Allah — with sincerity, purely for His sake — Allah will forgive all their past sins. So no matter how tired we are, no matter how early Suhoor is or how hot the day gets at 38 or 39 degrees, we should make sure we stand some extra rakat after Isha. Even just two, four, or six — whatever we can manage. Don't make Ramadan nights just like the nights of other months. This is our worship festival. Make it special.Grounded is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.The Command to Stand at NightSurah Al-Muzammil opens with Allah commanding the Prophet ﷺ to stand and pray through most of the night — except for a little. And what was he doing in those long hours of prayer? Reading Quran.This is the best thing we can do at night: read Quran in our prayers. If we've memorised, this is where we test and revise our memorisation. If we haven't memorised much but can read fluently, it is permitted to read from a mushaf — Sayyidatuna Aisha had one of her servants lead prayer while reading from one. The key is to have everything ready and in place, and to be careful with excessive movement.But why this command? Because Allah says: We are going to send down upon you heavy ayat. A serious, challenging mission. The Prophet ﷺ was being prepared to change the world. And the preparation wasn't political strategy — it was night prayer, Quran, and dhikr.This is the prophetic formula: to face a difficult day, strengthen the ruh the night before.Dhikr: The Only Command Allah Tells Us to Do AbundantlyAllah then says: Wadhkur isma Rabbik — and make mention of the name of your Lord. SubhanAllah, walhamdulillah, wa la ilaha illAllah, wallahu Akbar.Dhikr holds a unique place among all the acts of worship in the Quran. Allah commands prayer, and prayer is essential — Aqimi as-salata li dhikri, establish the prayer to remember Me. But when it comes to dhikr, Allah says to remember Him katheeran — abundantly. It is the only act of worship in the Quran that Allah commands us to do in abundance.And then: Wa tabattal ilayhi tabteela — devote yourself solely for Him. Who is He? Rabbul mashriqi wal maghrib — the Lord of the East and the West.

Whew; a wide-ranging Ron Show from Tuesday:+ an AJC bombshell: we knew all along the Mayor wanted to shelve Beltline rail on the east side, but no one had the authority to just halt work being done in preparation for it, and yet work was, indeed halted, without MARTA board authority. Matthew Rao with Beltline Rail Now joined Ron to figure out who's responsible (guilty) and who can be held accountable. + Georgia Power and its parent Southern Company is doubling down on dirty energy options to prepare for speculative data center needs, according to the Southern Environmental Law Center, and SELC staff attorney Bob Sherrier joined Ron to discuss the irresponsibility of it all. + Anne Applebaum excoriates Donald Trump's latest public embarrassment - his letter to Norway whining about the Nobel Prize committee (not a government entity) as rationale for sabre-rattling in Denmark's direction (another nation altogether) to snag Greenland. Anne seeks GOP courage to wrest this madman's power - something we've yet to see from feckless Republicans doubtlessly never will until he's gone. + But hey, remember when Ted Cruz - aka "Nostra-dumb ass" correctly predicted in 2016 there'd be an era where a President Trump would threaten to bomb Denmark? Of course, he's tucked tail and course-corrected back in Dear Leader's graces since, but .. + There's hope for a youth movement with young elected leaders popping up in the Georgia legislature. The latest being 21-year old Rep. Akbar Ali, who joined Ron to let him take "young people" quips ("old people interacting with young people" quips, too) but also to learn what motivated Akbar's engagement in politics and the issues that drive him to serve. No big deal, dude; get acclimated to a heady gig while having to also run for re-election immediately. Good luck!

We are being blasted by noise, but we can still see what really matters. Some is casual and some performative? We need true voices of leadership on our side. Are you reacting or resonating? Be authentic because chaos hates that. This is what happens when deception is your job. There are some questionable people surrounding Mike Lindell. This current wild news cycle is not random. The shutdown was planned to stymie the military. Venezuela was first, Columbia is next. Code Pink and the imported uprisings. Watching them is someone's job. Creating noise and detering plans. A planned sacrifice of a hand picked volunteer. Why Tim Walz? Everyone should check their own state's audits. The Greenland debate heats up again. Did he say Ohio was paying migrant trafficking NGO's? What is Welcoming America? Standing between peace and the abyss. Leaders are seeking to inflame passions. President Trump understands strength. He's ending the biggest war since WWII. The dims need an event real bad. Akbar is fake and gay. He did Karl Rove, ewwwww. Those hanging chads were a planned event. Alex Jones exposed, again. Dim false flags are standard ops. Instability is not the same as lost control. Find your inner peace and get to know the still.

In the first episode of our series, we follow the rise of Akbar, a teenage ruler who inherits a fragile empire, surrounded by enemies and nearly bankrupt. Akbar expands Mughal power through conquest, but his most consequential struggles are ideological. As religious hardliners urge him to impose stricter Islamic rule, he chooses a different path: abolishing the jizya, protecting Hindu worship, and insisting that an empire built on exclusion cannot endure. Yet tolerance carries a price. In his attempt to forge a new, universal faith, Akbar begins to alienate many of those he rules and many of those closest to him. And far beyond India's shores, a new threat is taking shape. Across the seas, the rising power of England casts a jealous eye on the immense wealth of the Mughal world... A story of empire, belief, and tolerance. The opening chapter in our "Downfall Of The Mughals" series. ⁠⁠Help support the show on Patreon!⁠⁠ ⁠⁠Sources and Attributions on our website.

In this episode, Kaustubha shares deeply moving stories from his recent Vaishnava Scholars' retreat in Vṛndāvana—revealing why Vrindavan bhakti feels so alive and unmistakably different. Through encounters with Goswamis and sacred lineages, visits to the Rādhā-vallabha and Rādhā-ramaṇa temples, and time at the mystic Tatiyā Sthān—where the "soft sand" of Vrindavan is worshiped by off-the-grid sādhus—a vision of devotion emerges that isn't driven by rules or rituals, but by intimate love that captures Krishna's heart. With warmth, humor, and insight, Raghunath and Kaustubha explore the four major Vrindavan bhakti lineages, why Śrī Chaitanya empowered the Six Goswamis to ground ecstasy in Vedānta, and how history, politics, and bhakti unexpectedly converged in Vrindavan through figures like Akbar, Aurangzeb, the Rajputs, and Shivaji. ******************************************************************** LOVE THE PODCAST?

The History of Jihad: From Muhammad to ISIS. Robert Spencer https://youtu.be/yTMFsl_RmeY?si=RoPPUlCzL8lN2WbD Sangam Talks 1.11M subscribers 176,278 views Premiered Mar 16, 2021 Reclaiming Indian History It is taken for granted, even among many Washington policymakers, that Islam is a fundamentally peaceful religion and that Islamic jihad terrorism is something relatively new, a product of the economic and political ferment of the twentieth century. But in The History of Jihad: From Muhammad to ISIS, Islamic scholar Robert Spencer proves definitively that Islamic terror is as old as Islam itself, as old as Muhammad, the prophet of Islam, who said “I have been made victorious through terror.” Spencer briskly traces the 1,400-year war of Islamic jihadis against the rest of the world, detailing the jihad against Europe, including the 700-year struggle to conquer Constantinople; the jihad in Spain, where non-Muslims fought for another 700 years to get the jihadi invaders out of the country; and the jihad against India, where Muslim warriors and conquerors wrought unparalleled and unfathomable devastation in the name of their religion. Told in great part in the words of contemporary chroniclers themselves, both Muslim and non-Muslim, The History of Jihad shows that jihad warfare has been a constant of Islam from its very beginnings, and present-day jihad terrorism proceeds along exactly the same ideological and theological foundations as did the great Islamic warrior states and jihad commanders of the past. The History of Jihad: From Muhammad to ISIS is the first one-volume history of jihad in the English language, and the first book to tell the whole truth about Islam's bloody history in an age when Islamic jihadis are more assertive in Western countries than they have been for centuries. This book is indispensable to understanding the geopolitical situation of the twenty-first century, and ultimately to formulating strategies to reform Islam and defeat radical terror. About the Speaker: ROBERT SPENCER is the director of Jihad Watch and a Shillman Fellow at the David Horowitz Freedom Center. He is the author of twenty-one books, including the New York Times bestsellers The Politically Incorrect Guide to Islam (and the Crusades) (Regnery Publishing) and The Truth About Muhammad (Regnery Publishing) and the bestselling The History of Jihad From Muhammad to ISIS (Bombardier Books) .

The reign of Mughal emperor of India Akbar the Great was more than four centuries ago, but for Dances of India President Nartana Premachandra, the story of his court — and its welcoming of all nationalities, religions and perspectives — is as salient as ever. She shares some of that history in her original dance-theater production, “Nine Jewels: Music, Art, & Splendor in the Court of Akbar the Great,” which takes the stage this weekend as part of Dances of India's 48th annual performance.

Rachel and Van start the show by talking about the “No Kings” protest, the goals of the protest, and the “blatant hypocrisy” from the reaction of the far right. Then, they talk about two controversies concerning offensive past social media posts, one from Democratic Senate candidate Graham Platner and the other from Grammy winner Tyler, the Creator. Last, they go over the Gaza ceasefire deal with Huffington Post senior diplomatic correspondent Akbar Ahmed and the violations that followed it. 00:00 - Welcome! 09:12 - The “No Kings” protest 44:16 - Joe Rogan declines to debate Gov.
