Gunter Swoboda explores the concept of Kali Yuga from Hindu cosmology as a powerful lens for understanding modern civilizational and psychological conditions.Often described as the “Age of Strife,” Kali Yuga offers a framework for examining societal fragmentation, declining trust, the pursuit of status and wealth, and the growing sense of disconnection many people experience today. This episode explores how ancient wisdom traditions anticipated these challenges and what practices can help individuals cultivate resilience, meaning, and renewal in turbulent times.Key Topics• Kali Yuga as a civilizational cycle• The psychological impact of living in an age of strife• The role of the masculine introject in modern culture• The influence of the Manosphere and decline narratives• Renewal, resilience, and the cyclical nature of history• Practices for navigating uncertainty and cultivating meaningSound Bites“Kali Yuga means the age of strife.”“Wealth becomes the primary measure of worth.”“Every era tends to imagine itself as in decline.”Inside This Episode• Exploring the concept of Kali Yuga• Understanding civilizational cycles and decline narratives• The psychological consequences of an age of strife• The masculine introject through the lens of Kali Yuga• The appeal of Manosphere ideology in uncertain times• Renewal and the cyclical nature of history• Dharmic practices for modern life• Building honesty, community, and relational depth• Finding meaning during periods of social disruptionResourcesMahabharata https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MahabharataBhagavad Purana https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PuranaMarcus Aurelius' Meditations https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MeditationsGratitudeWe want to extend a huge thank you to our listeners in Olney (OHL-nee) and Silver Spring for bringing Maryland to #7 on the Top 10 USA listeners list.And to our Global Listeners, we extend our gratitude to our listeners in London and Caerphilly (kaar-fill-ee) for bringing the UK up to #9 on our global listeners list!CONGRATULATIONS!! you made the Top Listeners List.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/inspire-change-with-gunter--3633478/support.PatreonIf this episode resonates with you and you'd like to go deeper into practical exercises and guided reflection, Gunter offers extended self-development resources and exercises through our Patreon community: www.patreon.com/inspirechangeSponsorDistil UnionThis episode of Inspire Change with Gunter is brought to you by Distil Union, creators of beautifully designed, functional everyday carry accessories that help bring organization, simplicity, and intention into your daily life.Distil Union blends craftsmanship with thoughtful design to help you carry what matters most — without the clutter.
As AI companies race toward Artificial General Intelligence (AI), many assume consciousness will eventually emerge from computation. But Indian philosophical traditions — Vedanta, Samkhya, and Jain thought — challenge this assumption at its foundation.Is consciousness an output of complexity? Or is it ontologically primary?

Welcome to a brand new season of the podcast! Welcome to a brand new season of the podcast! This week's episode is all about dharmic dating. Originally dubbed “duty dating” by one of my former patients, this is the type of dating that isn't about finding your prince charming, but instead about finding yourself. Last fall, I entered the dating world in the traditional sense for pretty much the first time in my life. In my short-lived experience, I'd say the modern world of dating is equal parts genuinely fun and absolutely unhinged. I've met mostly great and some questionable men along the way, but most importantly I've learned pivotal lessons about myself. Highlights: * Defining dharmic dating* How do you know you're ready to dateafter a big breakup?* Dating stories on the spectrum ofstrange, funny, and gutting* Surprisingly effective rituals I practiced to call in specific men and lessons* Dating with non-attachment, and being sure not to use it as an excuse to bypass* The difference between a sovereign safe woman, and a violated womanLear more about the School of Whispers: www.schoolofwhispers.comIf you'd like to learn more about working with me, click here.

This is the 3rd talk in a Series on Wellness dealing with Trauma from a spiritual perspective.The two core premises presented in the discussion to help with a spiritual perspective is the Dharmic traditions understood that all pain and suffering will be somehow rooted in ignorance, and secondly, material existence and spiritual life as operating under completely different paradigms based upon the understanding (or misunderstanding) of the ‘self', who I actually am. Am I the temporary and constantly changing material body and mind, or am I an eternal spiritual being who is inhabiting the material body and mind?During the talk a previous series of seven videos was referenced, titled “Weathering a Storm”. Links to the highly recommended Series are at the end of this post.Some quoted verses:“The more one is freed from material identification, the more one can realize that the spirit soul is qualitatively as good as the Supreme Soul.” – AC Bhaktivedanta Swami PrabhupadaPersons devoid of ātma-tattva do not inquire into the problems of life, being too attached to the fallible soldiers like the body, children and wife.

Earth Day, April 22, 2026, invites us to rethink how we relate to nature. Western Deep Ecology argues that all life has equal value and that wilderness must be protected. But is that enough? In many Indian traditions, nature is not separate from human life—it is sacred. Communities like the Bishnois and sacred grove traditions have protected ecosystems for centuries through dharma, everyday ethics, and lived practices.This short video explores why Dharmic Ecology offers a powerful alternative—one that integrates spirituality, community, and sustainability.#Earthday #Sustainability #DharmicEcology #DeepEcology #Environment #India #ClimateJustice

What compels a prince to renounce power, privilege, and comfort in search of the ultimate truth?In Episode 2 of the Mahāvīra Documentary Series, Dr. Pankaj Jain explores the transformative moment of Vardhamāna's renunciation — the decisive turning point that shaped him into Bhagavān Mahāvīra, the 24th Tīrthaṅkara of the Jain tradition.This episode examines:• The socio-political world of 6th century BCE India• The inner and philosophical motivations behind renunciation• The śramaṇa ideal of ascetic discipline• The concept of aparigraha (non-possession) as a civilisational ethic• Renunciation as a radical critique of power and material accumulationMoving beyond hagiography, this documentary situates Mahāvīra's renunciation within the wider Dharmic quest for liberation (mokṣa) — a pursuit that redefined ethics, selfhood, and responsibility toward all living beings.Through textual insights, historical context, and philosophical reflection, Episode 2 reveals how renunciation was not an escape from the world but a profound engagement with the nature of reality, suffering, and freedom.About the Presenter:Dr. Pankaj Jain is Director of The India Centre and Professor & Head of Humanities & Languages at FLAME University.

More about The Fire Inside: The Fire Inside explores the writings of Audre Lorde and James Baldwin through a Dharmic lens, revealing for the first time how two of America's greatest literary voices reflect—and expand—Buddhism's most timeless truths toward justice and liberation. Dr. Rima Vesely-Flad dives deeply into a dharma of liberation as lived by Baldwin and Lorde, offering timely lessons to help us each meet this moment.

Why do mothers worship the cow on Sakat Chauth?This short explains the deeper Dharmic meaning behind Gau Pūjā—where motherhood, ahimsā, and ecological responsibility come together. In Dharma traditions, prayer is not just asking; it is an ethical action. Feeding and protecting life becomes a way of protecting the future. Sakat Chauth shows how Dharma links personal devotion with care for land, water, and living beings—what we may call Dharmic ecology today.#SakatChauth#GauPuja#Dharma#Ahimsa#DharmicEcology#IndianTraditions#Motherhood#SanatanDharma#YTShorts

Let me admit up front that I like Rishab Shetty. A lot. I'd probably go see anything he makes, and I wish him well, because he is an actor with terrific presence. To be honest, I was blown away by his performance in Kantara, both as protagonist and director/writer. I had no idea about the bhoota-kola of Tulunadu, although I have seen the similar theyyam of nearby Malabar, and was suitably impressed.Therefore I was disappointed and underwhelmed by the prequel Kantara Chapter 1, for a variety of reasons. I understand this is not the universal reaction to the prequel: in particular, young people I spoke with liked the esthetics, the special effects, the big budget production, and the expansive canvas of the spice trade, a large kingdom, and good cast including veteran Jayaram as the weary king, and Rukmini Vasanth as a suitably gorgeous but sinister princess.But to me it came across as an untidy mishmash of various genres, with the principal purpose of creating a franchise: surely we can expect Chapter 2, Chapter 3 and so on. I don't begrudge Rishab Shetty and his producer their success, especially as the original Kantara was a sleeper success on a tiny budget.Warning: spoilers ahead.My problems were manifold. The first was that the original Kantara hit me with the force of a hurricane, when the coming-of-age tale of the wild-boar-hunting-and-carousing Shiva takes a sudden and unexpected turn and he becomes, reluctantly, the bhoota-kola oracle, taking on the role of his father who disappeared, and his cousin who was murdered.It was a revelation: a moment when a man turns into the Divine, in a wholly believable and entirely autochthonous, Dharmic tradition, a celebration of the presence of benign powers all around, a manifestation of a pantheistic world-view. It was one of the few recent films that powerfully put across a wholly Hindu perspective, which unfortunately is unusual in India.As a child, I remember devotional and patriotic films in Malayalam, which engendered a certain affection for the traditions of one's forefathers. And often the story-lines, from well-known literary works, were rooted in the local milieu. Over time, this has been dissipated, and replaced by unremarkable films that are technically quite good, but for lack of a better word, lack ‘soul'.In general, this has been true of the dominant Hindi/Urdu language films as well: the narrative is some kind of a global, ‘liberal', westernized, ‘modernized' and deracinated tale, where in particular Hindus get short shrift. For example, a recent, highly-rated Malayalam film mined Kottarathil Sankunny's Aithihya-mala, but turned the protagonists into people of other religions. There was another named 19th Century in which the recently-invented (in the 2010s) fiction of a ‘breast-tax' on lower-caste women was turned into ‘fact'.This sort of digestion of, and worse, denigration of, native tradition has been true of Hindi/Urdu films for a long time as has been amply and devastatingly recorded by the efforts of ‘Gems of Bollywood' on twitter. Therefore it is refreshing when a few films offer a Hindu point of view, eg. Kantara, Bahubali, or the shatteringly powerful Baramulla. This is one reason I am loath to criticize Rishab Shetty too much, but I do have my own complaints.One is that the Kantara Chapter 1 seems like a mish-mash of various ideas, borrowed from various sources. The origin myth of the hero Berme, where he appears as an abandoned child on a bed of leaves (and the presence of the computer-generated white tiger) may be a nod to the Sabarimala legend: Lord Ayyappa is a foundling, and he is sent on an errand to fetch tiger's milk by the evil queen who hopes that he will die in that quest.Then there is the battle of the good vs bad, which reminded me of the battle scenes from Bahubali, and indeed the dark-skinned barbarians from that film got a reprise here with the black-cowled evil sorcerer Kadapa tribe. And I wondered in passing if the very name ‘Kadapa' was a reference to the Telugu stronghold of the proselytizing Christian Reddys.Then there is the untidy story of the port city that the Kantara folks want access to, so they can sell spices to white people with no middleman. They also dragged in a superfluous white trader. Yes, the West Coast has been trading with the Middle East and points west for millennia via the Spice Route, but that seems irrelevant to the deep-forest-dwelling Kantara villagers.In addition, there were cliched memes about slavery (of tribals) and exploitation by the rich and powerful. These came across as nods to the prevailing dogma of woke victim narratives. The remarkable thing is that slavery was virtually unknown among Hindus: the first textual and/or epigraphic examples of slavery in India were by a Christian church in Kerala (the Tarisapalli copperplate, 849CE) and during the Muslim invasions.The characters were also hit and miss. There were the picaresque companions from the original film, including a vidushaka type who was silly in the original, but annoying here; so was the prince's kinkara. Neither of them added much to the film, and could easily have been written out. The prince was so typecast from the moment you laid eyes on him – clearly a dissolute, useless fellow – that you knew he was going to be dispatched summarily.I did like the princess. She was apparently born with paralysis in her hands and legs, and she was handed over to the sorcerer Kadapas, who cured her, but also (it is implied) turned her into a wily seductress, whose efforts to distract the hero (Berme) from his quest were, fortunately, futile. The old king was rather good, too. Rishab Shetty impresses as always with his physical presence, as well as his signature primal roar.I missed the glowing varaha and the superb Varaha-roopam song which was so electric in the original Kantara. (I hear there were some copyright claims from a band in Kerala, but it baffles me that an old traditional song or tune could be copyrighted by some upstart.) There was a little piglet in one scene, but that was not enough. The VFX of the Brahma-rakshas was unsatisfying, and should have been left to the viewer's imagination.All in all, the prequel was a disappointment after the original Kantara, which was refreshingly unpretentious: it did not preach, nor did it explain – it just was, and it forced you to accept the reality of the demigods Panjurli and Guliga. In effect, you went into an alternate reality, along with the bhoota-kola dancer. There was no such staggering insight in the prequel Kantara Chapter 1. If you were expecting a spiritual high, as I was, you'd be disappointed.If on the other hand, you were looking for light entertainment on a big canvas, you'd be just fine.Thus my dilemma about the prequel: yes, it does tell a Hindu tale, and I once again wish Rishabh Shetty the best, but I wish it had left me feeling spiritually moved as the original did.1200 words, 16 Nov 2025The AI-based Malayalam podcast on this by notebookLM from Google.

I've been pretty proud about the journey we've taken together learning about the Indo-Europeans. The linguistics versus the cultures versus the religions. We've done a lot of comparing and contrasting, and a lot of deep dive exploration. But we've spent a lot more time on the European side of the term. Today we put the focus on the Indo aspects.To do so in an academic manner, we welcome back Professor Michael York. From the heart of the Steppes, we go in many directioms, but mostly stick to the East. From modern day Iran to Western China, and the vast lands between, we touch on the Eastern aspects.Sure, we stray periodically back to Greece or Egypt or Thrace, we force outselves back to India and the Central Asian "Stans". We visit the ancient pantheons, Zoro Astur, Mithras, and into the Dharmic religions. As always when a professor is tolerating a semi edicated monkey (me), we get sublime and ridiculous. But the Garden does not disappoint.
Maharishikaa illustrates the essence of Sanatana Dharma in response to Dnyaneshwar Nartawadekar's question about two renowned spiritual masters—Premanand Maharaj and Swami Rambhadracharya—asking which of them was acting out of ego when they publicly questioned or opposed one another. In the wake of the many attacks on Hindus and Sanatana Dharma from several fronts, he wonders why Hindu spiritual leaders are not united, and Premanand ji Maharaj controversy has ignited. Maharishikaa illuminates that Sanatana Dharma does not require ideological uniformity. On the contrary, it thrives on debates, reasoning, and questioning. This tradition ensures that Truth prevails while paving the way for new knowledge to emerge and existing knowledge to be refined and adapted to modern times. The crucial point, Maharishikaa explains, is that when an external threat arises, they hold together. The true enemy of Sanatana Dharma, She says, is any religion that claims its path to the divine is the only valid one. She reminds Dnyaneshwar of the ongoing period of Chatur Maas—the four monsoon months—when Gurus would traditionally remain indoors, and engage in deep philosophical debates and challenges, both with their disciples and with one another. These discourses, rooted in Sanskrit traditions and Hindu philosophy, embody the spirit of Sanatana Dharma. Maharishikaa reveals the timeless ethos of Sanatana Dharma: it naturally provides for the freedom to hold contradicting opinions, ideas, and beliefs, and inherently makes space for Gurus to meet, debate, and challenge one another. Unlike Abrahamic religions, where a Pope or a religious leader dictates how believers must behave and respond, at the heart of Sanatana Dharma lies its boundless openness, a fabric woven of freedom, questioning, and ever-renewing wisdom. Maharishikaa reassures Dnyaneshwar that such questioning and discourse are well within the realm of Sanatana Dharma and Dharmic behavior. #Maharishikaa #PremanandMaharaj #JagadguruRambhadracharya #SanatanaDharma #Hinduism Aaryaa Maharishikaa Preeti Maiyaa, is a revolutionary female mystic who fearlessly dares to demystify spirituality in her unrelenting call to realize Self, and act from Source.

Since 1969, Maetreyii Ma has been a student of Shrii Shrii Anandamurti, affectionately known as Baba. In 1970, she began to have profound mystical experiences of the Divine and experienced the inner presence of her Guru. Baba's inner presence brought a deep knowledge of the endless love and compassion of the Divine, perfect beauty and wisdom, and the unconditional love and overflowing grace of the Sadguru.

Recent events have made it increasingly clear that India is utterly alone. I call this the Abhimanyu Syndrome, in honor of the teenaged Abhimanyu, who only knew how to enter the impregnable Chakravyuha, and who was then murdered, alone, against all Dharmic principles, by several powerful Maharathis.India's possible rise as an economic and military power is being resisted tooth and nail by the incumbent major powers. This is natural: all 'insurgent' powers face this problem. India's rise will need some paradigm shifts, which may or may not happen.China's rise was helped by two things: an industrial policy and inadvertent help by the US's managers and Wall Street who were seduced by the short-term appeal of the lower-cost 'China price'.The ruthless industrial policy is a result of China's civil services being full of engineers who understand the near term. In the long run, it may or may not succeed because of second-order effects such as population implosion, environmental ruin and skewed investment decisions.The US is now facing decline (and the EU has already begun a steep decline) for a variety of reasons, including natural cycles and the loss of comparative advantage in weaponry.In this context, I wish I knew what paradigm shift, if any, will propel India to a G3 slot, but the general global churn, new technologies, etc might create an opportunity. In the meantime, India has to struggle alone, against a mass of hostile powers.I read an article in a Sri Lankan newspaper that painted India as a tyrant, but China as a benevolent friend dispensing largesse. Yes, the same China that has grabbed Hambantota! And it called for a new SAARC, one minus India. This is the kind of propaganda that China and Pakistan are rolling out in the Indian subcontinent.China has every reason to want to kneecap India, the only Asian power that can (and hopefully will) challenge its hegemonistic pretensions. Even the US doesn't: Obama anointed China as the guardian/manager, if not owner, of 'South Asia'. Spheres of influence, you see.The US, in general, has been a disappointment. Many Indians expected, after Biden's antics with Yunus in Bangladesh, that Trump would be more in tune with Indian interests, partly because the US and India both need to keep China in check, and Trump wants to move more manufacturing out of China.But that has clearly not happened. Instead, India has been in Trump's gunsights over trade (although India's surplus is small, and agricultural items that the US wants to sell are a serious no-no for India). Their embrace of Pakistan during and after Operation Sindoor has been inexplicable unless Trump has adopted pure Deepstate policy.India cannot be a Chinese vassal (although it is in BRICS) and it doesn't want to be an American vassal though it's in the Quad (its ties with Russia and strategic autonomy are too important). Thus India is squeezed; for instance, the recent threat by some NATO muckity-muck to impose Russia-related sanctions was sinister.This could be both good and bad. Let's face it, nobody likes a rising power (see Thucydides Trap). While the Sri Lankan paper glorifies China, let us remember that China has territorial disputes with literally every one of its neighbors, and most of ASEAN is deathly scared of them. That comes from hard power. If SAARC or G20 or somebody is worried about India, that is a good sign that home-grown military power is noticeable.Everyone complains that India is not loyal to them. BRICS boosters grumble that India is a Western ‘mole' that is preventing them from toppling the dollar and making the US irrelevant. Conversely, the Anglosphere complains that India is not sufficiently committed to them, as in not toeing their Ukraine line. This is as it should be: multi-alignment means India is not beholden to anybody, but will pursue its selfish interests first and foremost.This is qualitatively different from the late lamented ‘non-alignment' of Nehruvian days, which meant everybody disliked India for its moral posturing. Multi-alignment means India will engage with everybody, on its own terms. With the US, for technology and trade. With Russia, for weapons and oil. Even with China, despite China being India's staunchest enemy, for electronic components. And even with perfidious Britain, as in the just-concluded FTA, which I personally consider pointless.Thus the splendid isolation is a back-handed compliment: the rest of the world is anticipating the rise of India as a superpower; and superpowers have no friends, only interests. And remember, Abhimanyu died, yes, but his side won overwhelmingly.780 words, 22 Jul 2025 updated 25 Jul 2025 This is a public episode.

A version of this essay has been published by firstpost.com at https://www.firstpost.com/opinion/shadow-warrior-air-india-crash-how-to-spin-doctor-and-peddle-narratives-the-western-way-13912025.html There has been a virtual masterclass lately in the creation and dissemination of biased narratives. Not only in the case of the ill-fated Air India 171 (Boeing 787, June 12, 2025) that crashed, but also in some other, unrelated instances. The age-old practices of "truth by repeated assertion" and "dubious circular references" as well as "strategic silence" have all been deployed in full force.The bottom line with the Air India flight: there is reasonable doubt about whether there was mechanical/software failure and/or sabotage or possible pilot error. Any or all these caused both engines to turn off in flight. But the way the spin-doctors have spun it, it is now "official" that the commanding pilot was suicidal and turned off the fuel switch. Boeing, the plane maker, and General Electric, the engine maker, are blameless.This is, alas, not surprising. It is in the interests of western MNCs to limit reputational damage and monetary loss related to their products. They do massive marketing by unleashing their PR agencies. We also saw how they protect themselves in other instances. A leaked Pfizer contract for their Covid vaccine insisted that if anything happened, it was the user's problem, not Pfizer's: there was no indemnity.Incidentally, a report on July 19th said that the Pfizer COVID vaccine can lead to severe vision problems. Oh, sorry, no indemnity.What is deplorable in the Air India case is that the AAIB, the Indian entity investigating the disaster, chose to release a half-baked preliminary report with enough ambiguity that a case could be (and definitely was) built up against the poor dead pilots. Any marketing person could have read the report and told them that it would be used to blame the pilots and absolve the manufacturers.Besides, the AAIB report was released late night on a Friday India time, which meant that the western media had all of one working day to do the spin-doctoring, which they did with remarkable gusto. Meanwhile the Indian media slept. Whose decision was this? Clearly, Indian babus need a remedial course in public relations if this was mere incompetence. Of course, if it was intentional, that would be even worse.There is a pattern. In earlier air accidents, such as the Jeju Air crash involving a Boeing 737-800 in South Korea in December, the pilots were blamed. In accidents involving Lion Air (Boeing 737 Max 8, 2018), China Airlines (737 200, 1989), Flydubai (737 800, 2016), ditto. I am beginning to believe that a lot of Asian pilots are poorly trained and/or suicidal. Ditto with the F-35 that fell into the ocean off Japan.Truth by repeated assertion is a powerful force for gaslighting the gullibleI wonder what excuses we'll hear about the Delta Airlines Boeing 767 whose engine caught fire in the air after take-off from LAX on July 20th. The pilots didn't die so they will speak up. Besides, they were westerners. I am eagerly awaiting the spin on this.I also noticed with grim amusement how the BBC, WSJ, Bloomberg and Reuters and so on were busy quoting each other to validate their assertions. This is a standard tactic that India's distorians (see Utpal Kumar's powerful book 'Eminent Distorians') have perfected: B will quote third-hand hearsay from A, then C will quote B, D will quote C, and before you know it, the hearsay has become The TRUTH. But if you wind it back from D to C to B to A it becomes, "I hear someone told someone that xyz happened". Out of thin air, then.There is also the lovely tactic of strategic silence. It has been used to un-person people who ask inconvenient questions. It has also been used to defenestrate inconvenient news. Just days ago, under the Deepstate-installed new regime in Syria, hundreds of minority Druze were brutally massacred. There was video on X of armed men in uniform forcing Druze men to jump off tall buildings, and desecrating their shrines.Similary, there is a brutal reign of terror, rape, murder and thuggery against Hindus, Buddhists and others under the Deepstate-blessed regime of Mohammed Yunus in Bangladesh: a clear genocide. Neither Syria nor Bangladesh gets any headlines. There are no loud human-rights protests as in the case of Gaza. This is not news. It is un-news."Manufacturing Consent" all the way.India is particularly vulnerable to this gaslighting because Indians consume a lot of English-language 'news'. Scholars have long noted how the US public has been maintained in a state of ignorance so they could be easily manipulated. The same is true of the Indian middle class. So there is yet another reason to do less in English. Fooling, say, the Chinese or Japanese public is a lot more difficult.The fact is that even though Indians may be literate in English, they do not understand the context and the subtext of what is fed to them by the likes of The Economist, NPR, The Financial Times, the New York Times, etc. The best way I can explain this is the 100+5 analogy in the Mahabharata: they may fight with each other on domestic matters, but Anglosphere and Deepstate are in cahoots when it comes to international matters.Things are both getting better and getting worse. On the one hand, social media and its imprint on generative AI mean that it is ever easier to propagate fake news (in addition to deepfake audio and video, of course). On the other hand, despite the problem of charlatans and paid agents provocateurs getting lots of eyeballs, the large number of Indians on social media may push back against the worst kinds of blood libel against India and Indians, of which there's plenty these days often created by bots from 'friendly' neighbors.This is a serious matter indeed. One solution is to do a version of the Great Chinese Firewall and ban wholesale the worst offenders. Indeed, a few of the vilest handles have been ejected from X. However, the pusillanimity with which notorious Pakistani handles were unbanned, then re-banned after outrage, shows there's something rotten in the Information Ministry. Almost exactly the same as the unbanning of Pakistani cricketers, then rebanning after outrage. Is there anybody in charge?Information warfare is insidious. Going back to the Air India case, I think the families of the maligned pilots should sue for gigantic sums for libel and defamation. The sad state of the Indian judiciary may mean that, unfortunately, this will not go far. However, there is precedent: Lee Kwan Yew in Singapore used to terrorize villainous western media by suing them in his courts. They learned to toe the line.If this tactic does not work, India should eject the hostile media. The Indian market is increasingly important to western media (not vice versa) because soon there will be more English-reading consumers in India than in the Five Eyes Anglosphere. I should say that in quotes because as I said above, most Indians are blissfully unaware of the hidden agendas, and naively believe them. But "Judeo-Christian" culture is very different from Dharmic.I keep getting emails from the New York Times with tempting offers to subscribe to them for something really cheap like Rs. 25 a month. They need Indian readers. I have been shouting from the rooftops for years that one of these charlatan media houses needs to be kicked out, harshly, with 24 hours notice to wind up and leave. As in the Asian proverb, "kill the chicken to scare the monkeys". The monkeys will notice, and behave. Otherwise the information warfare is just going to get worse.1290 words, Jul 22, 2025 This is a public episode.

Did Rajaraja Chola, who built the world-renowned Brihadisvara temple in Tanjore, and Suryavarman II of Kambuja Desa (Cambodia), who built the world's largest temple complex, Angkor Wat, erect these enduring marvels with a magic wand? Surely not. How did they nurture prosperity? What were the economic models that enabled them to leave the world awestruck? Sriram Balasubramanian's sequel to the pathbreaking Kautilyanomics answers these questions by examining Common Era empires and kingdoms ranging from the Cholas, Pallavas, Pandyas and Vijayanagara to Southeast Asian kingdoms. Balasubramanian audaciously puts forward a novel, indigenous and sustainable framework called Dharmanomics—a function of Kautilyan Dharmic capitalism, of a Dharmic ecosystem driven by temples and Sreni (corporate guilds) Dharma—that spans thousands of years. It was put into practice much before the likes of Adam Smith and modern economic thinkers. Dharmanomics seeks to present a coherent and structured economic framework based on the idea of Dharma for at least 1500 years. In the session, Sriram Balasubramanian is in conversation with Vikram Bhat. This is an excerpt from a conversation that took place in the BIC premises in November 2024.

In this episode I am joined by Tulku Sherab Dorje, Buddhist teacher, translator, and author of scholarly and popular books about Tibetan Buddhism. Tulku Sherdor recounts his unusual childhood and past-life proclivities, his graduation from Columbia Law School and subsequent elite level law practice, and years of spiritual retreat under masters of Tibetan Buddhist lineages.

Democracy is meant to reflect the will of the people, yet when demographic segmentation is weaponized, this often fuels the politics of projection. Fault-lines are drawn to define the exercise of othering: us vs them. At the heart of global debates about power, identity, and democracy, lies the concept of majoritarianism. In an era where the voices of majorities are often framed as inherently oppressive, it's easy to overlook the complexities that shape these narratives. But what if, in various contexts, the idea of a "tyranny of the majority" is not just oversimplified, but fundamentally flawed? In this episode of Satya Samvad, we explore these questions through the lens of the book The Majoritarian Myth by Prof. Kausik Gangopadhyay. This provocative book challenges the conventional understanding of majoritarianism, particularly in Bharat, where the term has become a buzzword for various sections of the political spectrum. The conception of linear theories of social evolution (LTSEs) and instances of conflict and polarization in modern society is deliberated on.

Speaking at the Satish Dhawan Auditorium at the Indian Institute of Science, Bengaluru, Rajiv Malhotra discusses the influence of the illustrious scientist and mathematician Satish Dhawan on his own childhood and journey into the philosophy of science. He recounts how his Theory of Digestion came to be formulated, the gross distortions of Dharmic concepts and entities that he fought against, which led to major breakthroughs in creating new frameworks in Indology. Rajiv's actions, though, began to be seen as controversial by those who preferred inaction as a response instead of challenging the disfigurement of Dharmic concepts.Battle For Consciousness Theory : battleforconsciousnesstheory.comSnakes in the Ganga - http://www.snakesintheganga.comVarna Jati Caste - http://www.varnajaticaste.comThe Battle For IIT's - http://www.battleforiits.comPower of future Machines - http://www.poweroffuturemachines.com10 heads of Ravana - http://www.tenheadsofravana.comTo support Infinity Foundation's projects including the continuation of such episodes and the research we do:इनफिनिटी फ़ौंडेशन की परियोजनाओं को अनुदान देने के लिए व इस प्रकार के एपिसोड और हमारे द्वारा किये जाने वाले शोध को जारी रखने के लिए: http://infinityfoundation.com/donate-2/

In the fourteenth episode of Satya Samvad, Dr. Mrittunjoy Guha Majumdar talks about how nationalism is inherently spiritual, especially in the Bharatiya context. In a world where politics and nationalism have become uber-mechanistic and even been weaponized, it is important to understand the premise of Bharat itself and what connects us to it, for delineating what nationalism could mean for a more sustainable and Dharmic tomorrow. Luminaries like Sri Aurobindo, Acharya Rabindranath Tagore and Swami Vivekananda spoke of the oneness inherent in Darshanas and Indian Knowledge systems like Vedanta as the basis for bringing together the diversity that we see in Bharat. Dr. Guha Majumdar highlights verses from the Vedas to reinforce the idea that the conceptualization of national identity is inherently transcendental. The key to harnessing this thought would be to look at how this transcendentalism can help us attain balance between the universal and the contextual, the dialectic and the practical, as a nation.

In the twelfth episode of Satya Samvad, Dr. Mrittunjoy Guha Majumdar interacts with Dr. Bhaskar Kamble about the identity, relevance and power of Hindu mathematics. We are moving surefootedly towards Bharatiya decolonization on various fronts, one of which involves reclaiming our mathematical heritage, from realizing that the Pythagoras Theorem should be called the Baudhayana formula just as much as Meruprastara may be more apt name for what we know as Pascal's triangle. Bharat has had the dual of centralization and decentralization in thought. Centralization in a fundamental philosophy and way of life, and decentralization in the ways it is seen in myriad avenues of life and society. Mathematics happens to be one such area. For example, in Dharmic philosophy, the concept of infinity is significant, representing the boundless and eternal nature of the universe, as seen in the celebrated Shloka Purnamadha Purnamidam. During the Vedic Period, religious texts show evidence of the utilization of large numerical values. By the era of the Yajurveda Samhita (1200–900 BCE), numbers as extensive as 10^12 were incorporated into texts. The Satapatha Brahmana, dating back to around the 7th century BCE, includes guidelines for ritualistic geometric constructions that bear resemblance to the principles outlined in the Sulba Sutra, which had one of the earliest extant verbal expression of the Pythagorean Theorem in the world. Over the centuries, we lost many of our traditional mathematical techniques. Decolonization in the modern context means that we must reclaim our intellectual capital, and mathematics must be part-and-parcel of that exercise.

In the eleventh episode of Satya Samvad, Dr. Mrittunjoy Guha Majumdar talks to Dr. Jijith Nidumuri Ravi, a former ISRO scientist who founded Dharma Digital - a platform using VR and AR to promote Sanatana Dharma, and who is currently exploring the fascinating world of geo-ethnography of the Vedas and Itihasa-Purana, from the geography of Ayodhya and Dwarka to the chronological correlation of eminent figures such as Bhishma's father Maharaja Shantanu and Sri Ram. In this episode, we discuss the historical dating of the Mahabharat War, the identification of River Saraswati, definition of the measuring length of Yojanas, Jijith's determination of Ramayana's Laṅkā not being current-day Sri Lanka but being located on the Narmadā river and the conjecture that Śikhaṇḍī was a descendant of Ambā, Studying the geo-ethnography of Hindu texts and Dharmic traditions, we look forward to dismantle the premise of the smear campaign undertaken by anti-Hindu forces that deny the veracity and significance of our civilizational foundations, and hope to establish a sense of rootedness and decolonization based on our ethos and extant heritage.

In the tenth episode of Satya Samvad, Dr. Mrittunjoy Guha Majumdar interacts with Dr. Donca Vianu about the attempts by Wokeist new-age spiritual speakers like Josh Schrei to appropriate and misproject Dharmic ideas and elements, especially in the West. Understanding Dharma is often multidimensional, and therefore, within Dharmic traditions, the importance of a guru for guidance cannot be understated. A good guru selflessly helps advance the spiritual development of the disciple. However, in today's world, there has been the rise and popularity of those who mislead the masses for their own popularity and relevance, by looking at Dharma through a wokeist lens. Everyone from Sri Krishna to Mata Sita to incidents like the Nishad family dying in the Lashagriha incident in the Mahabharata are brought into question or outright criticized, in what seems like a sustained attack on the very foundations of our civilizational heritage, often with brazen lies, continuing the tradition of anachronism of colonial-era Indologists and mythologists.
