I Started Loving Myself More After Joining Swami's HospitalOn August 15, 1973, a young MBBS graduate from Kasturba Medical College, Bengaluru, began a humble Sunday clinic in the village of Begur. With nothing more than his medical degree, the help of a compounder, and an unshakable determination to serve, he quietly tended to villagers in a corner 33 kilometres from Bengaluru.What started as a small act of service has today blossomed into a movement that provides free healthcare to more than 1,000 patients every week. For over five decades, this dedicated doctor has never missed a single Sunday at his clinic in Begur. In recognition of his lifelong commitment, the Government of India honoured him with the Padma Shri in 2010.Ask him what fuels this unwavering resolve, and he humbly replies:“Baba's message, ‘Hands that serve are holier than lips that pray,' has touched me deeply and given me the strength to carry on and do even more. These hands are not my hands, they are His hands.”Echoing a similar spirit of surrender, Dr Geetanjali Tulapurkar, Head of the Department of Anaesthesia at the Sri Sathya Sai Institute of Higher Medical Sciences, Whitefield, shares: “It is not me doing anything for the patients. Every patient who comes to Baba's hospital actually heals me. Day by day, I am realising that I am not the doer, and this fills me with a great sense of peace and joy."Both of these eminent physicians were among the inspiring speakers at the Global Medical Conference held in Prasanthi Nilayam in June 2025.

As negotiations with Beijing continue, relations with Moscow strengthen, and contentions with Washington become evident, New Delhi finds itself navigating the 'impossible trinity' of its diplomacy. I.e., it cannot maximise one relationship in this superpower triad without creating concerns in at least one of the other two ties. Hence, delicately balancing relations with China, the US, and Russia arguably presents the most important foreign policy question for India in contemporary geopolitics. Amit Kumar argues this, in conversation with Anushka Saxena, in this latest video episode of Takshashila's daily public policy podcast, 'All Things Policy'.

On May 25, Liberia-flagged MSC Elsa 3 sank around 15 nautical miles off the coast of Kerala. Only a few days later, a Singapore-flagged MV Wan Hai 503 caught fire off the coast of Kerala. Two such incidents around India's coastal waters are not a rare phenomenon. There have been multiple such incidents in the seas and oceans surrounding India's long coastline, posing various risks to marine life as well as to coastal communities. Notwithstanding the multiple agencies, such as the Indian Coast Guard and the Indian Navy, that spring into action following such incidents, is India doing enough to tackle oil spills?To discuss these issues, Lokendra Sharma, a researcher with Takshashila's High-Tech Geopolitics Programme, sits down with Swathi Kalyani, a researcher with the Takshashila's Geospatial Programme, and Tannmay Kumarr Baid, who's also associated with Takshashila's High-Tech Geopolitics Programme.

In this episode of All Things Policy, Abhishek Kadiyala is in conversation with Prof. Paul McGarr to unpack the evolution of the U.S. Intelligence Community (USIC) and its often strained, adversarial relationship with President Donald Trump. From allegations of “deep state” sabotage to growing public mistrust of intelligence briefings, we explore how this friction impacted the global strategic landscape—pushing the U.S. into an era of what some call “strategic blindness.”The conversation also looks at the internal challenges facing the USIC, including controversial DOGE operations, a wave of senior resignations, and the consequences for long-term institutional capacity. Finally, they turn to U.S.–India relations examining how intelligence cooperation helped sustain the bilateral partnership even during political turbulence, and how intelligence relations could be answer to the current strains in the US-India relations.All Things Policy is a daily podcast on public policy brought to you by the Takshashila Institution, Bengaluru.Find out more on our research and other work here: https://takshashila.org.in/research-areasCheck out our public policy courses here: https://school.takshashila.org.in
