⚠️ Disclaimer: This episode features a deep-dive discussion into sensitive and complex historical events, religious histories, and political figures. The insights and analyses presented are those of the guest, based on their research, and do not necessarily reflect the viewpoints of the production team or host. Something Bigger does not intend to offend, defame, or hurt the sentiments of any individual, community, or religious group. Our goal is to facilitate nuanced academic exploration and peaceful civic discourse.In this insightful episode of Something Bigger, we dive deep into the complexities of Indian history, exploring how the impact of colonialism, manipulated historical narratives, and the layered legacy of figures like Mahatma Gandhi continue to shape modern India's national identity and future.About the Guest: Dr. Vikram Sampath is a highly acclaimed historian, author, and fellow of the Royal Historical Society, widely recognized for his rigorous archives-based research into Indian history. Specializing in biographies and historical reconstructions that challenge mainstream, post-colonial consensus, he has penned definitive works on figures like V.D. Savarkar and Gauhar Jaan, as well as explorations of India's forgotten regional resistance movements.HighlightsThe Weight of Colonial Legacy: The British colonial apparatus systematically dismantled and reframed India's historical narrative to instill a psychological "loser complex," effectively capturing the minds of the colonized to legitimize foreign rule.The Whitewashing of Traumas: Critical and uncomfortable historical realities, including the brutal destruction of ancient universities like Nalanda and the severe nature of the Islamic conquests, have been historically suppressed under the guise of maintaining contemporary social harmony.The Myth of Solely Nonviolent Success: While Mahatma Gandhi's mass movements successfully galvanized the public consciousness, India's independence was a dual-track victory heavily accelerated by aggressive, armed revolutionary movements and the pivotal 1946 naval mutinies.Gandhi's Enigmatic Scrutiny: Stripped of hagiography, Gandhi emerges as an incredibly complex, patriarchal political patriarch who utilized deep emotional manipulation (such as fasts unto death) to enforce his worldview and conducted highly controversial personal lifestyle experiments.TimestampsIntroduction to Historical Manipulation – 00:00The Impact of Invasions on National Psyche – 00:27The British Colonial Project and the "Loser Nation" Myth – 02:15A Nation vs. A Nation-State: Emotional Connect Beyond Borders – 03:40The Suppression of Medieval Traumas & Ancient Universities – 04:27The Holocaust and Apartheid Models – 06:15Intergenerational Trauma – 08:30The Fragmented Reality of Modern Indian Identity – 10:38The Case of Tipu Sultan and Controversial Historical Monikers – 21:11How Education and Historians Warped the Mainstream Narrative – 24:40The Unsung Warrior Kings & Five Centuries of Indian Resilience – 28:15The Historian as a Blind Man Describing the Elephant: A Lesson in Humility – 01:04:12

A spiritual school in Victoria teaches that we each have a spiritual guide who we can rely on to help us through life, and that the couple who run the school – Ian and Pearl Rogers – sit on a council alongside entities who have lived many lifetimes before this one. Students are lucky enough to gain access to incredible knowledge through this council, which boasts Leonardo Da Vinci, Mahatma Gandhi, and Lady Di amongst its members. But forum posts dating back to 2012 allege that Sphinx Spiritual has been operating as a cult for many years. It's only now that former members have started speaking out.Part 2 is already available to Patreon supporters, and will be released on the main feed on Wednesday 27 May.Full research sources listed here.

Au XIXe siècle, l'Empire britannique a construit en Inde l'une des frontières les plus étranges de l'histoire : une gigantesque barrière végétale faite… d'arbustes épineux. Son nom ? La « Grande haie de l'Inde ». Et derrière cette idée étonnante se cachait un enjeu immense : le sel.Aujourd'hui, cela paraît absurde, mais le sel était alors une ressource stratégique. Indispensable pour conserver les aliments et survivre sous les climats chauds, il était consommé quotidiennement par toute la population indienne. Les Britanniques avaient donc décidé de lourdement taxer ce produit afin de remplir les caisses de la colonie.Le problème, c'est que cette taxe encourageait une contrebande massive. Dans certaines régions, le sel coûtait jusqu'à dix fois plus cher à cause des impôts britanniques. Des milliers de marchands tentaient alors de transporter clandestinement du sel depuis les zones moins taxées vers les territoires contrôlés par Londres.Pour stopper ce trafic, les autorités britanniques créèrent ce qu'on appelait la « Inland Customs Line », une immense ligne douanière traversant l'Inde. Au départ, il ne s'agissait que de postes de contrôle dispersés. Mais surveiller un territoire aussi vaste était presque impossible.Alors, dans les années 1840, les Britanniques eurent une idée radicale : transformer cette frontière fiscale en mur végétal.Ils plantèrent des acacias, des cactus, des euphorbes et d'autres arbustes extrêmement épineux afin de créer une barrière presque infranchissable. Avec le temps, cette haie atteignit parfois plus de 4 mètres de hauteur et plusieurs mètres d'épaisseur. À son apogée, elle s'étendait sur près de 4 000 kilomètres, soit davantage que la distance entre Paris et Moscou.Des milliers de gardes surveillaient cette frontière végétale. Des postes de douane étaient installés à intervalles réguliers et les voyageurs devaient payer des taxes pour transporter certaines marchandises, notamment le sel.La Grande haie de l'Inde est longtemps restée méconnue car elle n'était pas construite en pierre comme la Grande Muraille de Chine. Pourtant, certains historiens la considèrent comme l'une des plus longues barrières jamais édifiées par l'être humain.Mais ce système avait un coût énorme et provoquait une profonde colère parmi les populations indiennes. Beaucoup voyaient cette taxe sur le sel comme injuste et humiliante. Quelques décennies plus tard, cette question du sel deviendra d'ailleurs un symbole majeur de la lutte contre la domination britannique.En 1930, Mahatma Gandhi lancera sa célèbre « Marche du sel », défiant directement le monopole britannique.La Grande haie finit par disparaître à la fin du XIXe siècle avec la réorganisation fiscale de l'Empire. Aujourd'hui, il n'en reste presque rien. Pourtant, cette frontière végétale géante demeure l'un des exemples les plus incroyables de la façon dont un simple impôt peut transformer un paysage entier.

In 1930, a 4 year old girl in Delhi, India started to make some incredible claims, claims relating to the concept of reincarnation. As we'll see these weren't just the random babblings of an innocent child, the claims proved strangely accurate. Who was this little girl? And how did she convince Mahatma Gandhi himself that reincarnation is real? Time for Rory and Kit to investigate!

Rev. Wendy Craig-Purcell's talk explores how Mahatma Gandhi embodied “soul force,” teaching that true power comes from self-awareness, simplicity, authenticity, and the courage to stand alone in pursuit of truth. It emphasizes that real change begins within—by living your values, starting small, and taking personal responsibility to be the change you wish to see in the world.Website: http://www.theunitycenter.net Download Our New App: https://theunitycenter.churchcenter.com/setupAsk Yourself This: https://www.amazon.com/Ask-Yourself-This-Questions-Expand/dp/087159336XSubscribe to our YouTube channel: http://bit.ly/2hBqp7F Purchase Lesson Series Packages: https://theunitycenter.net/sunday-series-packagesListen to our Podcast: https://open.spotify.com/show/6YJWcAhQUnkEHFqBXQmz1G

In Episode 8, we explore:• The historical origins of the Digambara–Śvetāmbara division • Differences in monastic practices and interpretations of renunciation • Debates over scripture, canon, and authenticity • The role of geography, migration, and councils in shaping sectarian identities • Philosophical continuities despite institutional divergenceThis episode reveals how the division within Jain Dharma was not merely a split, but a complex historical process shaped by memory, migration, and interpretation. While Digambara and Śvetāmbara traditions developed distinct practices and textual traditions, both continued to uphold the core teachings of Mahāvīra — Ahimsa, Aparigraha, and the pursuit of liberation. By examining this divergence with nuance and scholarly clarity, Episode 8 highlights how plurality itself has been an enduring feature of Dharma traditions in India.About the Presenter: Dr. Pankaj Jain is Director of The India Centre and Professor & Head of Humanities & Languages at FLAME University. Author of Jainism: From Bhagwan Mahavira to Mahatma Gandhi (2025), he is a Fulbright-Nehru Fellow and internationally recognised scholar of Dharma traditions, sustainability, and Indian intellectual history.Subscribe to continue the Mahāvīra Biography Series as we explore the evolution, diversity, and intellectual richness of Jain Dharma.#DigambaraSvetambara #JainSects #Jainism #JainHistory #Digambara #Svetambara #JainDharma #IndianPhilosophy

Summary Max City VOW Literature Festival Probal discussed the upcoming Max City VOW Literature Festival, explaining that its purpose is to celebrate diverse voices and ideas in Mumbai, which he described as India's gateway to the world. He outlined the festival's theme "One World, Many Words," which aims to provide a platform for different perspectives on global issues, including conflicts, gender, and environmental concerns. Probal emphasized the importance of engaging and embracing diverse opinions rather than shaping a single opinion. The festival will take place on March 28-29 at the National Gallery of Modern Art in Mumbai, with a schedule available on the Maxcity Lit Fest Instagram handle. Lit Fest Structure and Planning Probal explained the structure of the upcoming Lit Fest, highlighting two main sessions: a welcome session focused on contemporary issues and non-fiction works, and a panel discussion on the West Asia war, which has been rescheduled to day two due to rapidly changing circumstances. The West Asia panel will explore the direction of the conflict and its implications for India, featuring panelists Ambassador TCA Raghavan and Menaz Merchant. Hrishi announced that Homi Bhabha State University will also serve as a venue for the festival this year, and mentioned Probal's book "General Brass Tacks" which will be featured in a session titled "Five Assassinations and an Arms Deal." General Sundarji's Life and History Probal discussed his upcoming panel on General Sundarji's life and the 1980s, highlighting key events including political assassinations and an arms deal. He explained how he discovered that Sundarji's life parallelled India's post-independence history, revealing new details through research such as Sundarji's presence at Mahatma Gandhi's funeral and raising the tricolor in Pakistan on Independence Day 1947. Probal described the writing process as revealing more about Sundarji's life than initially expected, transforming the book from focusing solely on the 1980s to telling a broader story of India's history through Sundarji's perspective. Operation Brass Stacks Military Exercise Probal discussed his book "Operation Brass Stacks," which details a significant military exercise from the 1980s that was four times larger than NATO exercises and the biggest mobilization since World War II. He explained that the operation, led by General Sundarji, aimed to defend India's borders while launching strikes into Pakistani territory to target nuclear facilities. Probal noted that these important historical events are often overlooked in India due to military history not being widely popular outside military circles, and he sought to "de-jargonize" the story to make it more accessible to the general public. General Sundarji Book Discussion Probal Dasgupta discussed his book on General Sundarji, describing him as India's most important military strategist who influenced both military and political decisions in the 1980s. He explained how writing the book involved personal excavation of memories from growing up in the 1980s, including events like Operation Blue Star and the Sri Lankan campaign. Probal also promoted the upcoming Max City Lit Fest in Mumbai on March 28-29, highlighting various panels and speakers including Amish Tripathi and other notable authors.

力量不是蛮力，是死磕到底的意志莫罕达斯·卡拉姆昌德·甘地（Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi，1869—1948），印度民族解放运动的主要领导人之一，印度国民大会党领袖，被尊称为“圣雄”。“圣雄”一词源自梵语，“摩诃（Maha）”意为“大”，“阿特玛（Atma）”意为“灵魂”，合起来就是“伟大的灵魂”。他19岁赴英国攻读法律，后来在南非领导反种族歧视斗争，提出“非暴力抵抗”口号，1915年回到印度后倡导“非暴力不合作运动”，带领印度脱离英国殖民统治。他用一生践行“非暴力”哲学，影响了全世界无数争取和平与正义的人。这句话——“Strength does not come from physical capacity. It comes from an indomitable will.”——直译是“力量并非来自体能，而来自不屈的意志”。甘地本人身形瘦削，从不靠武力说话，但他带领整个民族走向独立，一生绝食21次、被捕8次、坐牢约6年半，靠的就是这股“不屈的意志”。西方文化常常崇拜“强者”的肌肉与权力，而东方哲学从甘地到中国传统文化，都更相信内心的定力。孟子讲“富贵不能淫，贫贱不能移，威武不能屈”，不就是“indomitable will”最好的中国表达吗？我们在职场里、在生活里，常常觉得自己不够强大、不够有力。但甘地告诉我们：真正的力量从来不在你的肌肉里，而在你心里那股打死不退的劲儿。学英语也是一样，不是今天背多少单词就能立竿见影，而是靠每天一点点坚持的意志力。New Wordsstrength [streŋθ] n. 力量；力气；实力As an office worker, the strength to keep learning English every day helps me get a promotion. 作为一名职场白领，每天坚持学英语的力量帮我获得了晋升。capacity [kəˈpæsəti] n. 能力；容量；才能Your potential is far beyond your current capacity. Keep learning and you will grow.你的潜力远远超出你当前的能力。坚持学习，你就会成长。indomitable [ɪnˈdɒmɪtəbl] adj. 不屈不挠的；不可征服的She faced every challenge with an indomitable spirit and never gave up.她用不屈不挠的精神面对每一个挑战，从不放弃。will [wɪl] n. 意志；意愿；决心Learning a new language requires strong will and consistent practice.学习一门新语言需要坚定的意志和持续的练习。Quote to learn for todayStrength does not come from physical capacity. It comes from an indomitable will.——Mahatma Gandhi翻译力量并非来自体能，而来自不屈的意志。——甘地更多卡卡老师分享公众号：卡卡课堂 卡卡老师微信：kakayingyu002送你一份卡卡老师学习大礼包，帮助你在英文学习路上少走弯路

We live in a busy world. If we aren't in a meeting, or working on a project, or going to an appointment – we are looking at our phones, or answering emails, or hopping on a video conference. Technology has made work accessible ALL. THE. TIME. Not just from nine to five. But as Mahatma Gandhi once said, "there is more to life than increasing its speed." So, how about you? Are you running so fast that you are missing the things God has in store for your day? Try intentionally slowing down and scheduling in blank space on your calendar. When you do, you may be surprised by the connections and conversations you are able to have. When we make time for people, the Lord opens incredible ministry opportunities. Who does God want you to speak to today? 

After some prompting, AI helps us understand why Mahatma Gandhi is one of the greatest influencers of all time.

Should the United States and Israel have launched a war against Iran? It's a question many people are asking. It has stirred intense debate, controversy, and even wild conspiracy theories. But let's step back and try to address this in a sober, rational, and thoughtful way—without politics, without propaganda and slogans, and without the noise that so often clouds our judgment.Perhaps the real question begins even earlier. Before we ask whether this particular war is justified, we must ask a more fundamental question: What is the case for war at all? War is bloody, painful, and tragic. There is nothing desirable about it. No one truly wants war. No one dreams of sending their sons and daughters to fight on a battlefield. So why do wars exist in the first place? And is any war ever legitimate?There are those, like Mahatma Gandhi, who argued that war is never justified—even when one is attacked. According to that view, violence should never be met with violence. But history forces us to confront a difficult moral dilemma: if aggression threatens innocent lives, is it always moral to stand down? Or are there circumstances where defending life may require force?So before we rush to conclusions, we need to establish a framework. What are the criteria that make a war morally justified? What principles should guide such a decision? Once we have that clarity, we can then apply those standards to our current situation. Doing so allows us to cut through the rhetoric, the pundits, the disinformation, and the distortions that dominate public discourse.Only then can we ask the real question: Do operations like Epic Fury and Roaring Lion stand on solid moral ground? Because history teaches us something very important—clarity of purpose is essential. When a nation lacks that clarity, it loses direction. Vietnam is a powerful example of a conflict where the absence of a clear moral and strategic framework led to confusion and ultimately failure.But when there is moral clarity, it creates focus, unity, and purpose. And that is why the first step is not choosing sides, but understanding the principles.Please join Rabbi Simon Jacobson to explore together the deeper question: What is the true case for war—and does it apply here?

Qasar Younis is the co-founder and CEO of Applied Intuition, a $15 billion AI company that adds intelligence to cars, tractors, planes, submarines, and other vehicles—essentially, Tesla or Waymo without the hardware. He was previously COO of Y Combinator, started his career as an engineer at GM and Bosch, and was born on a farm in Pakistan.We discuss:1. Why the biggest AI revolution will play out in mining, farming, construction, and trucking over the next 5 to 10 years, not in software2. Why Qasar intentionally stayed under the radar for nearly a decade while building Applied Intuition, and why most founders shouldn't do that3. The truth about China's AI capabilities and why comparisons to American companies are fundamentally flawed4. The company values that drive Applied Intuition: speed above everything, laugh a lot, half the work is follow-up, never disappoint the customer5. The biggest lessons from Qasar's stint as YC's COO, including that the most successful companies show traction very early6.

We talked last episode about the Communist Revolution in China, and apparently there was a two for one special on revolutions, because this episode also has a revolution, but this one is VERY different than what happened in China.  Part of the reason that the revolutions were so different was that what is about to happen in India is not a communist revolution.  Communist revolutions are usually destructive, as the old order of things is being aggressively done away with, and so communism is expecting to do away with the old order by using force and violence.   The Indian revolution is going to be done exactly the opposite, using peace and non-violence.  And that is largely due to the person who is going to lead the revolution in India - Mohandas Gandhi.  

In our second episode on the Mahabharata, the great Indian epic from c. 300 BCE, we dive into what is perhaps the most famous section of it: the 700 verses that make up the Bhagavad Gita. We discuss the main points of this foundational Hindu scripture, which recounts a discussion between the warrior Arjuna and his charioteer, Krishna on the eve of an apocalyptic battle. We also discuss debates around its authorship and explore the profound influence it had on Mahatma Gandhi, who didn't read it until he was a young law student in London, when some friends he made at a vegetarian restaurant recommended it to him.

Award-winning director, producer, and writer Ruán Magan joins Irish Stew for a timely conversation ahead of his double appearance at this weekend's Solas Nua Capital Irish Film Festival, where he'll present two very different visions of Ireland on screen.Ruán reflects on a creative life that has taken him from early collaborations with his brother, writer and broadcaster Manchán Magan, through decades of boundary-pushing work that has reached audiences around the world. He talks about growing up in a family steeped in story, language, and history, and how that background propels him toward projects that dig beneath the surface of Ireland's past and present.One of his festival offerings is the new documentary “Daniel O'Connell – The Emancipator,” which marks the 250th anniversary of O'Connell's birth and revisits the life, legacy, and global impact of “The Liberator.” Ruán describes the film as “a chance to step back from today's noise and remember how one determined Irish lawyer changed the democratic DNA of the modern world,” connecting O'Connell's campaigns for Catholic Emancipation to later movements led by figures like Frederick Douglass, Mahatma Gandhi, and Martin Luther King Jr.He then turns to his Irish-language drama “Báite,” a feature that takes his fascination with Irish history and identity into more intimate, psychological territory. Ruán calls it “a story where the past seeps up through the floorboards of ordinary lives,” using the rhythms of the Irish language and the coastal landscape to explore guilt, memory, and the pull of old ghosts.Throughout the episode, Ruán shares his approach to filmmaking as “trying to make the invisible visible—whether that's buried history, an overlooked revolutionary, or the quiet truths people carry inside them.” He talks about balancing scholarship and emotion, why collaboration matters, and what keeps drawing him back to Irish subjects for a global audience.Irish Stew will be the Podcast in Residence at the Capital Irish Film Festival, Feb. 26 – Mar. 1, appearing on stage after the Friday 6:30 p.m. screening to discuss Northern Irish film with a panel of Northern Irish filmmakers.LinksSolas NuaWebsiteCapital Irish Film FestivalBáiteDaniel O'Connell: The EmancipatorRuán MaganWebsiteIMDbLinkedInIrish Stew LinksWebsiteFacebookInstagramLinkedInMedia Partner: IrishCentralEpisode Details: Season 8, Episode 10; Total Episode Count: 151

Buenas, aquí nuestro podcast prometido. Frente al aire de discursos de división y de acciones de cruel injusticia que suceden en el mundo, exploramos la arquitectura del Apartheid en Sudáfrica: un sistema levantado sobre leyes, mitos bíblicos y un racismo que se pretendía 'científico' para invisibilizar a un pueblo. Pero también narraremos la respuesta desde la verdad y la humanidad: la dignidad organizada de figuras como Gandhi, Luthuli, Biko y Mandela. Veremos cómo la conciencia y la No violencia demostraron que ningún sistema de opresión, por sofisticado y estructurado que sea, puede apagar el espíritu de libertad. Porque del mismo sitio donde se origina la peor crueldad también puede levantarse la esperanza que ilumine al mundo. Notas del episodio: La estructura del Apartheid Una utopía nefasta: las aspiraciones puestas en el Apartheid La vida de Mahatma Gandhi en Sudáfrica John Langalibalele Dube: resistencia frente a la injusticia (en inglés) Albert Luthuli: la existencia y la lucha entregada a la No violencia El discurso de unidad de Nelson Mandela para superar el Apartheid  Contactanos en: www.dianauribe.fm Sigue mis proyectos en otros lugares:  YouTube ➔ youtube.com/@DianaUribefm  Instagram ➔ instagram.com/dianauribe.fm Facebook ➔ facebook.com/dianauribe.fm Sitio web ➔ dianauribe.fm Twitter ➔ x.com/DianaUribefm  LinkedIn ➔ www.linkedin.com/in/diana-uribe    Gracias de nuevo a nuestra comunidad de patreon por apoyar la producción de este episodio.

Inaugurated in 2021, a 400 kg Mahatma Gandhi statue was allegedly cut and stolen from the Rowville-based Indian Australian Community Centre on 12 January 2026. Victoria Police said the theft is believed to have been carried out by three unknown people, who reportedly used an angle grinder to remove the statue from its base. The incident has drawn condemnation from the Indian community, as well as from the Victorian Premier Jacinta Allan and the Indian government.

This episode challenges the term "nonviolence," proposing that movements for social and political change often succeed by relying on the opponent's violence. We introduce the concept of sacrificial violence: the intentional absorption of an opponent's brutality to gain strategic concessions, a topic explored in the article "Nonviolence is Violence, Too: Somebody's Gotta " written by BMP host Too Black. The discussion analyzes historical actions like the Freedom Rides and the Albany Movement, drawing on the work of figures such as Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., Mahatma Gandhi, and political scientist Erica Chenoweth. It explores the idea that confronting established power inevitably results in conflict and, often, violence.

On 30 January 1948, Mahatma Gandhi was assassinated on the steps of Birla House in New Delhi while on his way to lead his multi-faith evening prayers. In this episode, we speak with Dr Vedabhayas Kundu, Program Officer at Gandhi Smriti and Darshan Samiti in New Delhi. He shares how the world responded to the news of his assassination and reflects on why Mahatma Gandhi continues to be remembered worldwide 78 years after his death.

David Belden was born into a family of Oxford Group leaders and committed activists. The Group set out “to change the world” and throughout his early years David devoted himself wholeheartedly to this challenge.  But while “carrying the message” in Africa, his life took an unexpected turn that led to his questioning some of principles and practices he had once taken uncritically for granted.David returned to Oxford University to write his doctoral dissertation on the Group's history, influence and shortcomings. He recently published a still more intimate account of his own journey toward personal and social transformation and change: The World Remakers' Child.This series affords a rare insider's view of the Group responsible for contributing no fewer than ten of A.A.'s Twelve Steps and yields fresh insights and challenges throughout. Mahatma Gandhi's grandson praised David's book for its “steady candor,” “humor about himself,” and “a thirst for a less harsh, more loving, and fairer world.”In this final episode Dave's early Oxford Group goal of “world changing” may have traveled full circle. It's reminiscent of the poet T.S Elliott's famous lines:We shall not cease from exploration And the end of all our exploring Will be to arrive where we started And know the place for the first time.Show notes:David Belden's book: The World Remakers' ChildDave's Oxford University Doctoral Thesis:https://www.academia.edu/27545723/The_Origins_and_Development_of_the_Oxford_Group_Moral_Re_Armament_Dave's website: https://www.davidbelden.com/Dave doing a recent book reading at his Unitarian Universalist Church:https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/?tab=wm#inbox/QgrcJHsHpqWKvMChSdmxXjJNlDCGCJGCgHL?projector=1This Is an Uprising: How Nonviolent Revolt Is Shaping the Twenty-First Century by Paul and Mark EnglerHow 12 Step Programs Can Help Build Healthier Movementshttps://wagingnonviolence.org/2025/10/how-12-step-programs-can-help-build-healthier-movements/

Ralph Waldo Emerson said, "The first wealth is health". The Roman poet Virgil said, "The greatest wealth is health" and Mahatma Gandhi said, "It is health that is real wealth and not pieces of gold or silver".    In the spirit of these three greats, I recorded a podcast and YouTube video about my health journey called: "How I Lost 40 Pounds of Fat While Putting on 10 Pounds of Muscle."   I've spent the last 4 years on a major health journey investing my time and energy into losing weight and building muscle. I'm sharing my health journey with the goal of inspiring you to create the wealth of health and wellness. I've learned so much and feel compelled to share it.   In this conversation, I share 25 strategies. The first four are: listen to a positive eating script, find your motivation, grow your discipline muscles, and observe "putyourforkdownatarianism." I also talk about using a scale that measures body fat and changing your paradigm to increasing your fat free mass vs. just losing weight.    While Conversations About Conversations is a business podcast, and the topic is not a business topic per se, I feel so passionate about this conversation that I had to share it. Moreover, everything I've done on my health journey is along the same lines of what has led to my business success: experimentation, iteration, learning, discipline, consistency and effort.   Conversations About Conversations is available on YouTube, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Amazon and iHeart Radio.

This episode covers the start of chapter 30 to: “...but what gravitation and electricity are, no mortal knoweth.” Summary: As we start this heavy chapter and think about our expectations, the chapter explores miracles and religious perspectives, with particular focus on Leo Tolstoy's teachings and their connection to nonviolence. We review Tolstoy's views on Christianity and his similarities with Mahatma Gandhi, discussing his writings and experiences that challenged traditional religious practices. The discussion concluded with an exploration of scientific principles and the limitations of human understanding, touching on concepts like Maya and the mysteries of the universe. 0:00 Expectations from the chapter; 6:20 Leo Tolstoy and Nicholas Roerich footnote; 20:00 The (complete) three hermits story; 38:50 Duality in the physical creation; 38:50 Duality in the physical creation; 55:10 Maya; 1:06:30 Looking Ahead. Links discussed in the chapter:  Kingdom of God is within you - https://www.gutenberg.org/files/43302/43302-h/43302-h.htm Letter to a Hindu - https://www.gutenberg.org/files/7176/7176-h/7176-h.htm Three Hermits complete story – https://www.online-literature.com/tolstoy/2896/ Three hermits animation: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aEu8i1FblCg Tolstoy's twenty three tales: https://www.ccel.org/ccel/t/tolstoy/23_tales/cache/23_tales.pdf https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guglielmo_Marconi  Homework for next episode— Read, absorb and make notes on the next part of chapter 30 from: “To surmount maya was the task assigned to the human race...” to “...but that atomic energy is essentially mind-stuff". #autobiographyofayogi  #autobiographylinebyline  #paramahansayogananda Autobiography of a Yogi awake.minute Self-Realization Fellowship Yogoda Satsanga Society of India #SRF #YSS 

David Belden was born into a family of Oxford Group leaders and committed activists. The Group set out “to change the world” and throughout his early years David devoted himself wholeheartedly to this challenge.  But while “carrying the message” in Africa, his life took an unexpected turn that led to his questioning some of principles and practices he had once taken uncritically for granted.David returned to Oxford University to write his doctoral dissertation on the Group's history, influence and shortcomings. He recently published a still more intimate account of his own journey toward personal and social transformation and change: The World Remakers' Child.This series affords a rare insider's view of the Group responsible for contributing no fewer than ten of A.A.'s Twelve Steps and yields fresh insights and challenges throughout. Mahatma Gandhi's grandson praised David's book for its “steady candor,” “humor about himself,” and “a thirst for a less harsh, more loving, and fairer world.”This third episode traces the origins of many of the 12 Steps as they were practiced among members of the Group. Remember, Bill Wison said he derived no fewer than ten of his twelve Steps straight from his experience within the Oxford Group. They had no Steps, but they were well on their way to finding the Answer!Show notes:David Belden's book: The World Remakers' ChildDave's Oxford University Doctoral Thesis:https://www.academia.edu/27545723/The_Origins_and_Development_of_the_Oxford_Group_Moral_Re_Armament_

This video explores the theology, philosophy, and Christology of Martin Luther King Jr. I argue that he is best understood as a moderate American Unitarian.I mention Martin Luther King Jr., Martin Luther, Michael King Sr. (Martin Luther King Sr.), Schleiermacher, Paul of Samosata, William Ellery Channing, Paul Tillich, Henry Nelson Wieman, Coretta Scott King, David Hume, Immanuel Kant, Søren Kierkegaard, Friedrich Nietzsche, Karl Jaspers, Martin Heidegger, Jean-Paul Sartre, Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel, Walter Rauschenbusch, Mahatma Gandhi, Saint Augustine, Saint Anselm, Blaise Pascal, Os Guinness, Keith Ward, Desmond Tutu, Francis Collins, Christopher Hitchens, and more.

Mahatma Gandhi's words of: "Be the change you wish to see in the world," are spoken often and shared on social media and on bumper stickers. They are wise words. If we want things to change, we need to do whatever we can to contribute to that effort.My podcast guests this week Jennifer Graham Partyka and Sabrina Hannon were inspired to make their contributions by running for local office. Both women were elected in 2025 as the first women on the Glenburn Township Board of Supervisors. These women bring experience from the frontlines of life, often interacting with people in times of crisis through their day jobs--a benefit that Jen believes is vital to understand how the decisions made by elected officials can truly impact them. If you are considering running for office in Northeast PA, Jen will certainly be your cheerleader and help you to prepare. Reach out to the Abington Democrats to get involved alongside Jen and many others in the community who care. Tune in to hear what inspired Sabrina and Jen to become involved in local politics and hear what they're planning in their new roles.Thank you to my podcast sponsors Healthy Lifestyle Management with Lisa Rigau and Reinvented Threads with Gabby Lynn for their generous support.

As we begin a new year, the Tuesday People podcast opens with a gentle but powerful reframe: what if, instead of living each day as if it were our last, we lived it as if it were our first? Inspired by Mahatma Gandhi's reminder that change in the world begins with change in ourselves, host Mitch Albom invites listeners to step back into a sense of wonder—to notice, to appreciate, and to engage with life without the weight of fear or finality. Rather than focusing on what we might lose, this episode encourages us to rediscover what it means to arrive each day with curiosity, openness, and gratitude. It's a hopeful, grounding conversation about beginnings, perspective, and the quiet power of choosing how we show up—one ordinary, extraordinary day at a time.  Learn more about your ad choices.

Venezuela, Grönland, Iran, dazu der andauernde russische Angriffskrieg gegen die Ukraine – es ist viel geschehen in den ersten Tagen des neuen Jahres. Die bisherige Weltordnung verändert sich. Wo bleibt da Europa? Und was muss es tun, um nicht als schwach dazustehen? Darüber spricht Host Kai Küstner mit Nico Lange. Der Politikberater plädiert für ein selbstbewusstes Europa. „Wenn man in dieser Welt erfolgreich sein will, muss man stark sein, man muss wissen, was man will.“ Herumzujammern bringe die Europäer nicht weiter. Lange fordert, den Ansprüchen von US-Präsident Trump auf Grönland gelassen, aber entschieden entgegenzutreten – und betont, die Europäer müssten Dänemark zur Seite stehen. Der Sicherheitsexperte schaut im Interview auch auf die Ukraine. Hier müssten die Europäer Putin zum Frieden drängen. Sie müssten „handeln und nicht nur mit den Fakten umgehen, die andere schaffen.“ Und sie müssten „schneller das Richtige“ tun. Was die europäische Sicherheit betrifft, so fordert Nico Lange, sich strategisch handlungsfähig zu machen, z.B. auf dem Gebiet der Satellitentechnik, und nicht einfach nur Haushaltsmittel abfließen zu lassen. Die Lage an der Front in der Ukraine bewertet Lange so: Putins Offensiven im vergangenen Jahr seien gescheitert. Dennoch führe Russlands Machthaber den Krieg auch 2026 weiter. Inzwischen dauert Russlands Krieg gegen die Ukraine länger als der Kampf der Sowjetunion gegen Deutschland im Zweiten Weltkrieg. Stefan Niemann schildert, wie unterschiedlich die Zwischenbilanz des russischen Angriffskrieges in Moskau und Kiew bewertet wird. Während Wolodymyr Selenskyj spottet, Russlands Truppen würden “nach vier Jahren immer noch versuchen, denselben Donbass zu erobern”, sucht Putins Propaganda das eigene Volk und die Welt davon zu überzeugen, Russlands Sieg sei unausweichlich. Die Angreifer konzentrieren sich im vierten Kriegswinter auf die Zerstörung der ukrainischen Infrastruktur: Heizkraftwerke, Stromnetze, Wasserversorgung. Die Ukraine greift weiterhin Russlands Energiesektor und Waffenfabriken an. Auf beiden Seiten werden neuentwickelte Waffensysteme eingesetzt – der Krieg macht keine Pause.

When Sydney Sweeney said "Jeans are not Controversial" Mrs. P had to investigate and what she found was astounding. From Sydney Sweeneys stalling career, to her plans with Geoff Bezos,  to the origins of Jeans in India, Britain, America. And how they were touched by the republic of Genoa, the British Ra, East India Trading Company, Mahatma Gandhi, and the prison industrial complex. And then of course back to Sydney Sweeneys GQ interview. GET THE MISCELLANEOUS IMMORALITY SHIRT HERE:

Born in London in 1911, Flint grew up in modest circumstances but claimed to hear voices of the departed from childhood. Those early experiences set him on a lifelong path toward Spiritualism and the exploration of life after death. Unlike trance mediums who spoke on behalf of spirits, Flint's séances were said to produce independent voices, clearly audible to everyone in the room, appearing to come from midair rather than from the medium himself.Sitters described conversations that were intimate, humorous, and deeply emotional. The voices called people by name, shared private memories, and even argued or joked. Among them were recurring personalities such as “Mickey,” a lively Cockney boy spirit, and “Dr. Charles Marshall,” a calm, guiding presence who oversaw communication from the other side.During the Second World War, when grief touched nearly every British home, Flint's séances offered solace. Widows and parents reported hearing the familiar tones of loved ones lost in battle. Others claimed to encounter famous figures, Oscar Wilde, Queen Victoria, Mahatma Gandhi, each speaking in distinct character and style. To many, these sessions felt less like performances than reunions across the boundary of death.Flint was repeatedly tested. Investigators sealed his mouth, filled it with colored water, even bound him to a chair, yet the voices continued. Hundreds of hours of these sessions were recorded and can still be heard today through the Leslie Flint Educational Trust. Whether regarded as genuine spirit communication or an extraordinary unexplained acoustic phenomenon, they remain some of the clearest evidence of voices without visible source ever documented.In this episode, I take you through Flint's life, the atmosphere of his séances, and the enduring mystery of those voices in the dark. Was Leslie Flint truly speaking for the dead, or revealing new dimensions of consciousness still beyond our science? https://www.pastliveshypnosis.co.uk/https://www.patreon.com/ourparanormalafterlifeMy book 'Verified Near Death Experiences' https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DXKRGDFP Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
