Dr. Manish Pandit is a physician who lives in the United Kingdom. He arrived in England in the mid 1990's and trained as a surgeon (FRCS General Surgery and FRCS ENT) before switching career streams to Nuclear Medicine and obtaining a Masters with a Merit from Kings College in the process. He is an alumnus of BJ Medical College in Pune. He has published on many research topics within the fields of medicine and is a senior tutor for medical students in England as well as regional director for training in his medical speciality.Dr Manish has had an active interest in Indian history and spirituality since he was 21 years old, which is also when he met his Guru, Nakhate Maharaj. However he considers that spirituality (and alignment with so called dharma) is mostly useless unless closely moving with humanity and compassion on the ground in real life. It is easy for those who have not been miserable in life and not been engaged in the service of others for decades to be dismissive of any other sentient being's troubles as mere “thought” or “nonsense”. Medicine provides him that impetus as nothing moves humans more than the sight of others suffering.He maintains an extensive personal library of books on Indology. He has studied the dating of the Mahabharata sufficiently enough to be considered as an expert on dating the Mahabharata using ancient Indian astronomy and is considered as a student of Dr Narahari Achar (a physics professor from Memphis who dated the Mahabharata to 3067 BCE).He is also a director, scriptwriter and cinematographer, who is known for making films on topics which very few within the broadcast and non-broadcast media like to touch. He has made several films including the acclaimed Krishna: History or Myth, Mumbai: Pani Mafia, SaiBaba: An Indian Jesus, Bharat ek Chetna and perhaps his best known film “The Ishrat Jahan Conspiracy (2014)”.His films can be divided into two principal categories, those which pertain to religion and those which pertain to politics. Apart from his feature length documentaries, he also makes short films which can be seen on saraswatifilms.org.

Gioia Guerzoni"T"Chetna MarooAdelphiwww.adelphi.itTraduzione a cura di Gioia Guerzoni.Ha solo undici anni, Gopi, quando muore la madre. Per zia Ranjan lei e le due sorelle maggiori non sono che «selvagge». Così ha detto al padre di Gopi: sottintendendo che non rispettano le regole della comunità indiana a cui appartengono. E aggiungendo che per dargli una mano è pronta a prendersi in casa una di loro. Per il momento, però, il padre pensa che le figlie abbiano bisogno di appassionarsi a qualcosa che le accompagni poi «per tutta la vita» – e decide che sarà lo squash. Non funzionerà per tutte: l'unica che diventerà sempre più brava, e continuerà caparbiamente a cercare di scoprire, fra le quattro pareti del campo (ma non solo), che cosa fare dei suoi sentimenti, della sua vita, delle persone che incontra, e a quali traguardi può aspirare, sarà Gopi. Ed è lei stessa a raccontarci quell'anno di lutto e di rinascita – l'anno in cui sperimenta il dolore e l'assenza, ma anche la tenerezza e la determinazione, i cambiamenti del corpo e le sue potenzialità, le regole e la necessità di trasgredirle – con una voce insieme pacata e audace, sommessa e perentoria. In questo suo primo romanzo, con mano insospettabilmente sicura, e con uno stile essenziale, preciso, allusivo, la scrittrice angloindiana Chetna Maroo ci apre le porte di un mondo che ci era ignoto – e non è esattamente questa, come ci ha insegnato Kundera, la funzione del romanzo?IL POSTO DELLE PAROLEascoltare fa pensarewww.ilpostodelleparole.itDiventa un supporter di questo podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/il-posto-delle-parole--1487855/support.
In this episode, Lama Rod and Chetna talk about: What liberation smells like, sounds like, feels like and looks like for Lama Rod from both an abstract and embodied experience Contentment and acceptance alongside the wrongness, suffering and crisis of the world The subtle practice of “holding the chaos and crisis, instead of the chaos and crisis holding you” Holding space for everything that's arising is still feeling the chaos and tension, feeling our hearts breaking and enraging, and also still being connected to the space that's holding us and everything Reacting to everything may create more harm, and gives little space to respond The choicefulness and consent of this practice Chetna references Dylan McGarry's art that speaks to how to hold ourselves and each other accountable requires holding Accountability is meeting the reality, showing up and telling the truth We have to confront our personal broken-heartedness as an expression of the collective disappointment Not giving in to everything being “too much”, letting things arise in the nature of one's own mind Liberation work is calling us to do what we thought was impossible Lama Rod's practice of “no choice” as a way to not bypass the work or give himself excuses Chetna's relation to this with choosing to be in recovery, and having chosen “no choice” when it comes to engaging with certain substances The necessity of “no choice” despite our human shit, to eliminate complexity and not enabling ourselves to get out of the work Boundaries as a way to maintain discipline and dedication in the face of difficulty “No choice” as conducive for empowerment, balance and liberation On the other side of some rigidity, hard choices is discomfort is space, like a crucible and the discomfort of alchemy Seed processes and the struggle of a seed cracking open to sprout, and how it relates to our nature's propensity to emerge through discomfort Surrendering to the dark or the unclear, where our awareness isn't and where there are narratives of danger Lama Rod's relationship to the energetic of depression, and the medicine of surrendering to get close to the depression and see what it needed The darkness is asking to be tended to, and the need to offer care to the things we're afraid of Pressing down, avoiding and pressurizing the darkness before it leaves us without choice due it's need to be released Depression as a portal to liberation, love and compassion when we sit down and ask what it needs and why it's here Tending to the darkness softens our hearts and reduces the isolation The advanced practice of loving the things we're most afraid of The distinction between love and like; wanting someone to be free and resourced even if I don't want them to be my friend If someone, or a collective of people were free and getting what they needed, what harm would that prevent? Trying to love in this way has to come after we spend time with the rage, fear, grief The coexistence of loving someone (and understanding that they deserve to be free) and being pissed off at them too How this could allow us to take less personally our anger without it overtaking us or making it wrong in us The Love is what holds the space, the watery Love sets the boundaries for the fire of anger without repressing it or letting it overtake or spread wildly You can sometimes help someone be free by staying out the way, and whatever we do in Love is helpful The apocalypse as something that's been around for centuries, not just our lifetime or our disruption The apocalypse has been experienced by many different communities across time; this can allow us to zoom out beyond the confines of our lives This is a time of decolonization, when we are dealing with the wounds of colonialism Abolition as a way of healing to abolish the systems that perpetuate violence The pain and suffering of individualism that narrows our realities and produces isolation and separation, which is a root of colonialism Decolonization is really about community; Loving people without feeling like we need to like them and holding chaos are ways to decolonize and be in community This work is both personal and collective; us as individuals have to name the experience of our pain, and our ancestors pain, in order to abolish and heal the pain of the collective Remembering who we were before systems of oppression is hard work; the cellular structure of our hearts proves our capacity to return to who we were born as We have to grieve our way back, for our ancestors and ourselves, in order to move forward The importance of unwounding our hearts to be present in community more and in this liberation work Find more: Lama Rod online: lamarod.com Lama Rod on IG @lamarodofficial Chetna on IG @mosaiceye and the podcast @creationforliberation Other offerings: Upcoming Events: Reclaiming Creativity Workshop with Kripalu.

In this episode, Feroza and Chetna talk about: The creative process being a spiritual one, and how honoring that is transcending the inner critic that says “you're a fraud” Feroza's relationship with her creative muse Creativity rising up in her like water that have to be poured out based on experiencing a lot of emotions Creativity also rising up in her when her muse comes gently knocking Developing a relationship with her muse where there is a trust and patience Honoring her body's request to make music, even though “no one is asking for it” Her joining Creative Somatic Alchemy which was a journey back to her creativity and herself after a medical trauma The impact of community connection in her creative practice Negotiating with her muse, speaking to her nicely, and treating her well Revolving her life around her intuition and honoring that there's always time to pause Setting herself up to have no excuse to pause by walking with a notebook and pen to honor the whisperings The felt sense of music from her muse and music from her mind, based on the sensations in her body and emotions Creating music that invites people to feel, and recognizing that many people aren't ready or willing to go there She asks the question, “what does your soul say?” “what does your heart say”, and focuses on offering her music to folks who are thirsty for this The important activism in art that invites us to feel and rest, to give water to the fire of the world Her experience with Mosaiceye community as her fellow witches and unicorns, and what it helped steward in her to create differently than she has before Being held in graceful accountability made her want to be herself even when she felt sad, how it helped her be honest The challenge and beauty of sharing music and watching folks listen, receiving affirmation and being together in it The permission to play and flow with herself and within her collaborations Grace and grit being invitations she took on and accepted from her learnings Taking generative space from creative practice, whether it be music, ceramics, relating and conversing; to rest and give space for divine alchemy to have a hand Bringing open experimental energy to creative practice like Dee Dee from Dexter's Lab (lol) The difference between “passion” and doing what she needs to do, because “I am, therefore I create.” The deeper we get in touch with our creativity the more likely we'll be disrupting systems that oppress our creativity, and we need community to do this hard work and play.

In this episode, Ameera and Noa talk with Chetna about: What life is like lately for each of them at the time of recording this conversation at the end of February, around 140 days after October 7th What “peace” means to each of them today, alongside the violence that they're actively threatened by daily How Ameera holds the human need to defend and protect against violence while working for peace Why each of them are committed to the work and mission of Tomorrow's Women Ameera's background in joining the organization for cross-border collaboration when she was a teenager How their empathetic and connecting conversations give them both resilience and hope in humanity despite the violence What they each want us as activists outside of Palestine and Israel to be aware of and how to be supportive in this time of crisis How they keep hope when the war goes on and people lose faith in the future Find: Tomorrow's Women online via their website Art to benefit the mission of Tomorrow's Women Chetna on IG @mosaiceye and the podcast @creationforliberation The Chetna Unfolding newsletter on Substack (chetnaunfolding.substack.com) Other offerings: Upcoming Events: Welcome Spring 2024: an Intention-Refreshing workshop; Reclaiming Creativity Workshop with Kripalu; Embodying Bhakti: The Yoga of Love - a series for women and non-binary activists Work 1:1 with Chetna for high-achieving changemakers to get out of your heads and into embodied creative alchemy
In this episode, Chetna shares: The Chetna Unfolding newsletter where she's been publishing more recently about longing and depression as portals, second arrow suffering, the addiction to binary thinking, and more Ahimsa and nonviolence, and the confusing contemplation about what peace means today The day count and loss of 30,000 Palestinian lives, 1,400 Israeli lives, and uncountable plant and animals lives taken by genocide An introduction of Hawah Kasat, an award-winning educator, community organizer and yogi among other things HawaH talking about “negative peace” and “positive peace” How the negative/positive peace binary helps her understand to some degree, but also has its limitations HawaH talking about the nuance of nonviolence Binary-thinking as a strategy to make quick moves in a panic The illusionary clarity of binary-thinking that leaves little room for nuance and complexity How relying on panic to carry us forward f*cks us over even more by fueling even more panic and suffering. The distracting suffocating binary of enough and not enough in regards to our activism The present-traumatic stress caused by over-consuming media How there is no one-right way and to believe and assert on others that there is one right way to think, to be, to act right now may be a perpetuation of domination and separation The inquiry: “how can I expect to steward- from my dysregulated nervous system- a New Earth that's wholly different from the one built by dysregulated nervous systems?” The inquiry: “how can I- and we- be influences of change in the world without perpetuating colonial cultures of separation and domination?” The inquiry: “how can I expect to disrupt the cycles of trauma and fear when I'm acting from my trauma and fear?” Her desire to normalize when and what we don't actually know…and to open to the possibilities of connection and healing in that unknown.

The game of squash and a family overcoming grief are at the heart of Chetna Maroo's debut novel, Western Lane, which has been shortlisted for the 2023 Booker Prize. She talks to Samira about creating the story which centres on a spirited 11-year-old protagonist, Gopi. In Lyonesse, Kristin Scott Thomas plays Elaine, a star who gave up her career and retreated to a remote house on a Cornish cliff. 30 years later she decides she must return and tell her story. Kate, played by Lily James, is a young film executive, juggling work, a toddler and a peripatetic director husband. She comes to help Elaine – and is transformed. But who will control her story, who will get to tell it? Playwright Penelope Skinner tells Samira Ahmed about her new drama of female solidarity and male power.

Being accessible in her self-expression through empathy, shared leadership, warmth, and awareness of others through eye contact, thoughtful conversations, meaningful engagements with presence “Bad habits” being a way to cope or get a deep need met; i.e. smoking tied to easing the mother wound, for nourishment, sustenance, and connection which feels more accessible than connecting with people. “Bad habits” coming from a deeper need for care, but in a way that aren't beneficial for us or others Music as an audio timestamp of emotion, amplifying sincerity in music-making Some of Kiran's “bad habits” like eating badly, drinking too much, etc. Her desire to meet the root cause without the distractions by eliminating alcohol, being plant-based, and meditating Understanding the depth of the pain as a way to amplify the joy Emotions as currency that we can create from, feed ourselves from, etc. The self-respect of restraint (like bumper lanes on a bowling alley), boundaries, and what you do when no one is around Her work as healing; finding her way into healing by doing her work of service and purpose Her attraction to people who are strong in their feminine, a divine mother queen despite gender, and learning this from gay men and trans women Her going on tour doing a strong feminine show that is her dream show that she's always wanted to watch Find: Kiran's website including her upcoming tour schedule: madamegandhi.com Madame Gandhi on IG @madamegandhi Chetna on IG @mosaiceye and the podcast @creationforliberation The podcast to watch on youtube Other offerings: Upcoming Events: Clarifying your North Star Workshop on 11/11 (mosaiceyeunfolding.com/communityevents) You Are Chosen: a free 5-day practice in choosing yourself and being divinely chosen (https://chetnamehta.myflodesk.com/chosen) Work 1:1 with Chetna for self-trust, creative reclamation and divine aligning (chetnamehta.co/sessions)

In this episode, some of what Ruthie and Chetna talk about: Ruthie's soul's work and dharma to welcome and love all the parts of us, including those that have been shamed or rejected Ruthie's story of being hit by an ambulance, being hospitalized for a month and getting a wire implanted in her spinal cord infusion Growing up as a sweet Southern girl and her doing everything she had to do for belonging and love Her being disassociated and numbing with food and screens, as a way to stay on the planet early on Doctors putting Ruthie on the highest level of narcotics to cope with pain that they later discovered to be a broken wire piercing her brainstem Living in a bed for 7 years in debilitating pain and addiction until her husband left and her father passed away Her gratitude for a breakdown that happened and got her out of bed to start living again in 2013 A period of time when Ruthie was wanting to die due the debilitating pain she was always living with Her work now is inviting and welcoming pain when it visits, affirming with others that “it's not the end of your story”, that transformation and healing is possible Grieving who she thought she was and what she thought her life would be like, including having many children, which is not part of her current reality The practice of “being with”, with whatever pain or pleasure comes up, all of it getting to be here without being denied, then it transmutes and transforms, and love gets to drive Choosing love, forgetting and then remembering, and choosing love again Ruthie saying “the pain is visiting me” versus “I am in pain”, to acknowledge that the pain comes and goes The parable of the 2nd arrow: the first arrow being the circumstances and realities of our lives, and the 2nd arrow being the shame, resistance and judgment of the first arrow Ruthie sharing Dr. Hilary McBride and her framework of 7 core emotions (anger, disgust, excitement, desire/sexual excitement, joy, fear, sadness) The “inhibitory emotions” we create (shame, anxiety and guilt) to keep us from feeling any “bad” core emotions, that are “check- engine lights” giving us information about what needs to be felt Then we numb our inhibitory emotions with additions to avoid feeling those Social anxiety coming up as a “check-engine light” for Chetna saying that she's trying to be like others or match the energy of others Noticing how we feel certain emotions in our bodies through noticing its sensations, temperature, textures, colors and the emotions underneath the sensations Being in our bodies allows us to be here now, connected to the oneness of everything around us, how embodiment will change the world because you can't hate another when you're in love and in your body Ruthie going beyond the pain story into her excitement for remembering and reclaiming our divinity because we exist! Her obsession with studying sacred sexuality, reclaiming pleasure, and challenging purity culture and patriarchy! Her passion about money consciousness and getting more money in conscious women's hands! Giving money and energy of blessing, welcoming and stewardship Ruthie sharing her learning with Kate Northrup about how lack stories and welcoming money is about regulating the nervous system Honoring and blessing the small things to show the universe that she's capable of honoring and blessing the bigger things that could transform the world Find: Ruthie's website: ruthielindsey.com Ruthie on IG @ruthielindsey Chetna on IG @mosaiceye and the podcast @creationforliberation The podcast to watch on youtube Other offerings: Upcoming Events: Creative Somatic Alchemy, SA Femme Disruptors Reflection Group, and Boundaries for Peace Support Group (mosaiceyeunfolding.com/communityevents) Work 1:1 with Chetna for self-trust, creative reclamation and divine aligning (chetnamehta.co/sessions)

This week, Gilly's at the home of award-winning recipe writer, author and YouTuber, one of Bake Off's most celebrated winners and mother of 2, Chetna Makan to talk about her new book, Chetna's Indian Feasts. But in this first episode of a special series this summer, we're talking about food through the prism of matrescence, the raw ingredients which make up the heady mix of motherhood and provide the recipe for life. Like adolescence, matrescence shows us a picture of process, and with it an implicit understanding of what that means. Just as adolescents are always adults in training, so matrescents are mothers in training, and that never stops.The word was coined by anthropologist Dana Raphael in 1973 to describe the experience of half the global population but which is barely known, barely discussed, barely acknowledged. On the contrary, we're supposed to know it all the minute we give birth. It's estimated that perinatal mental health problems alone cost the NHS and social services around £1.2 billion annually. Imagine the impact on families and wider society of way post natal mental health issues – the massive lows that come with the roller coaster of emotions of motherhood – at all ages and stages.The aim of this Cooking the Books series is to introduce the word into the national conversation. Chetna is the first of four writers, mothers, matrescents who have much to say on the subject throughout the whole of August.

In this episode, Megan and Chetna talk about: What dance means to Megan, a way to relate to the world, to space and other bodies, and self-express beyond what people assume How in her body and Asian identity, she's explored her physical strength through movement practices Breaking through walls of expectation through exploring movement through the body Going beyond the rigid way of what “dance” is commonly looked at within performance, production or a certain body type Megan's emphasis on individual bodies and the histories, modalities and passions that each individual has, as opposed to doing it a certain way Contact improvisation as a way to connect to one's own body and other bodies The importance of deep listening and asking for communication, making invitation in contact improv dance Deep listening with living and inanimate objects is part of Megan's practice A way to develop this deep listening, even today, is noticing how your body interacts with the space and objects around you, noticing what it's like to send your energy into an object, whether it's your laptop or phone, or the trees outside, the seat your in Taking movement classes and contact improv help with this deep listening of your body and your surroundings The intimacy of deep listening with dance, to oneself- into me I see- and those in shared space Megan's practice of building intimacy with her collaborators by prioritizing relationships full of respect, generosity, gratitude, trust in her dance-making Megan's “Gathering Pieces of Piece” project being a culmination of her contemplations in her life thus far about the liminal space of being mixed Chinese and Irish Her tattoo with half of the Chinese symbol for “peace” being a mark of her identity The ways we mark our identities with tattoos, how we dress, our rituals and routines, etc. The experience of liminality that Chetna has experienced as a third culture kid; one being between a beautiful artist retreat with folks feeling comfortable being naked at her lake swimming together, and living at home with her South Asian parents Contact improv being a way to meet the primal need of platonic and attuned touch The importance of moving the body as a way for expression and creation Find: Megan's website: www.MeganLoweDances.com More about "Gathering Pieces of Peace" Megan on IG @MLoweDanceKitty Chetna on IG @mosaiceye and the podcast @creationforliberation The podcast to watch on youtube Other offerings: Organizational Offerings: bring a mindful and expressive arts engagement to your people Upcoming Events: Creative Somatic Alchemy and SA Femme Disruptors Reflection Group Work 1:1 with Chetna for creative reclamation and authentic expression
In this episode, Hana and Chetna talk about: Resistance and activism through frizzy hair Creating new worlds through visual art; drawing what we want to see in the world, from cool fashion to authentic femininity Clothes as wearable art yet co-opted by capitalism that make it seem frivolous The paradox in Hana's art between colorful and vibrant and dark and creepy The power in what is deemed as “ugly” Showing the unpleasant parts of humanness, like squeezing zits! Hana's fear of clowns and drawing jester archetypes Going to various phases of mediums in art-making Hana's love for Shakespeare and the value of the wise fool Making art that scares us is channeling our disruptor/tricker energy How Hana's has drawn from her mental illness in her drawing, from literal depictions to more dualistic expressions The paradox and appeal of upbeat or vibrant art that's also speaking to deeper issues like addiction and mental illness The importance of art that reflects multiple realities Creating art for yourself to validate your own experience and being in community with your own art The acceptance that not everyone is going to be a masterpiece, it's okay to experiment with different artistic mediums or processes The struggle of performativity on social media The proverb of “if a tree falls and no one hears it, did it really fall” and how it applies to our art-making practice Recognizing that we are being witnessed by more than the human world, but by the trees and bees and life all around us, including ancestors, spirit, etc… and that can be enough! The significance of art that takes a long time to create, unlike AI art, it's more than “content creation” Sharing from a place of safety and generativity, versus pressure or obligation Being mindful with how we consume art, and how we're consumed from to avoid being extractive in how we consume art or expect from artists Letting ourselves have an eb and flow with our mediums, without adhering to “consistency” if that isn't happening Francisco Goya as a muse in shifting our vibe and energy in our works as artists Cycling through styles and mediums of art-making is normal and natural The creativity within you is worthy to be expressed and freed!

Hi there, today we're excited to release the second episode in our 2022 Baking Month. Today's guest is Brian Levy, whose sugar-free baking book, Good & Sweet, is out now. For all of December, we'll be celebrating some of the year's best baking books with a handful of author interviews, dozens of featured recipes, excerpts, and more. Read on!* Do you love Salt + Spine? We'd love if you shared this email with a friend who might want to #TalkCookbooks with us, too:Episode 148: Brian LevyNext in our Baking Month series, Brian Levy joins us to #TalkCookbooks!Brian's interest in cooking and gastronomy began in high school when he went on a month-long trip to France. He discovered Gourmet magazine and started watching Martha Stewart, The Two Fat Ladies, and more food TV. Before he began his career in pastry, Brian studied journalism and was determined to work for Gourmet. To build up his resume, he thought some experience in the kitchen might help—so he went back to France where he interned in a bistro outside of Paris. Eventually, he made his way to New York where he interned at Michelin-starred Babbo before later studying architecture at Yale. Brian's first cookbook, Good and Sweet: A New Way to Bake with Naturally Sweet Ingredients, has been called a “game-changing collection of desserts” by celebrated author and baker Alice Medrich. In the book, Brian eschews processed sugar and common substitutes like maple syrup, opting instead to let pure fruits and other whole ingredients naturally sweeten and enliven his recipes.Bonus Content + Recipes This WeekThis week, paid subscribers will receive three featured recipes from Good & Sweet: Rosemary-Lemon Shortbread, a Pistachio-Studded Peach Galette, and the Perfect Currant Scone.

It's our annual Baking Month, and we're kicking things off with some return guests! Back on the show today are Rose Levy Beranbaum and her collaborator-turned-hubby Woody Wolston. They're joining Brian in-studio to talk about their latest work, The Cookie Bible.Episode 147: Rose Levy BeranbaumRose likely needs no introduction to those in the cookbook world. But here's what you need to know:* She published the ground-breaking The Cake Bible in 1988, changing how many home and professional bakers approached the craft. (In particular, Rose helped lead the charge to include the more accurate weight measurements in her recipes instead of just volume.) * The Cake Bible is now in its 60th printing (!!!), and Rose shares some news on what's next for the classic work.* In that time, Rose has penned a dozen other cookbooks, from The Baking Bible to The Bread Bible—and other non-bible titles on ice cream, cakes, Christmas cookies, and more.* Rose's latest cookbook, The Cookie Bible, completes her “quartet of bibles” on cake, pie, bread, and, now, cookies. The book includes every type of cookie you could imagine—from macarons to rolled-and-cut holiday cookies, to sandwich cookies and cookie bars. In this first episode of Baking Month, Rose and Woody join us to discuss the book-making process, their newly minted marriage, and play a cookie-themed game.Two Recipes from The Cookie BibleTo celebrate the launch of Baking Month, today's first recipe for Lemon Lumpies is available to all Substack subscribers for a limited time!
