Themes of food in literature inspire questions of resistance, cultural memory, gender and identity. This episode titled Khayali Pulao: On Food Writing touches upon food and food politics in Indian writing. Here, it is not merely a marker of identity, but can be a source of joy as well as pain and alienation. Writers Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni and Sumana Roy discuss the ways in which food operates to construct nostalgia and to evoke historical and individual memory. Along the way, it can also expose class, caste and gender divides in society. It may mean coming together as family and sharing bonds of sisterhood but fictions about food can also express hunger, poverty, displacement and subsequent marginalization. Roy reads the poem "The Astonishing Smell of Rice" by Birendra Chattopadhyayon which is about hunger and how the refrain is a reminder of circadian rhythms broken by hunger pangs. Divakaruni's writings use food as symbols of diasporic identity and even feminist solidarity. She argues that food can bring about an ethos of feminist empowerment and sisterhood beyond the stereotypes of gender. Both writers come together to engage food in Indian writing across various registers. They highlight the significance of “eating cultures” and also reveal their favorite foods and what they like to cook!

This is through the involvement of guests from the world of music, art, literature, science, etc... Vedanta is not a religion. Vedanta is a philosophy, the Mother of all world philosophies and religions. The Bhagavad Gita is the most representative text of Vedanta, one of the most widely read books ever.

Indian mythology fiction novels. The new episode of the Cosmic Dancer podcast, involved renowned writer Chitra Divakaruni and Vedanta teacher S. A Shreedaran, a student of Swami Parthasarathy at the prestigious Vedanta Academy, and addressed the topic of Indian mythology and philosophy as a great source of inspiration for contemporary and highly successful Indian historical/fantasy novels, if we consider international best-selling authors such as her, Amish Tripathi and Ashwin Sanghi. Chitra later told us how she came to write the best-selling novel The Palace of Illusions, centered on the Indian epic text Mahabharata, but told from a totally new perspective, (that of a woman), and featuring refined prose.
