Welcome to Building Brand You™, the podcast that helps you accelerate your success by unlocking your greatest asset – you.   KEY TAKEAWAYS Discovering places and practices that align with your innate spiritual or emotional connection to the natural world can be a source of solace, inspiration, belonging and divine connection. Healing from trauma is a slow, non-linear journey that requires immense patience and resilience, celebrating every small win and recognising that setbacks are a normal part of progress. Tough experiences help us shed what's not essential, encouraging us to go off old ambitions, material things, and the need for approval to find the joy in a simpler, more authentic life. Cultivating deep introspection and actively listening to your soul or inner voice will steer you toward your true path.     ABOUT OUR GUEST: Nathalie Latham is a multidisciplinary artist whose work is fuelled by a deep commitment to storytelling, creative expression, and environmental advocacy.

When Tamil Nadu claimed the title of “India’s No. 1” in economic growth, Andhra Pradesh hit back with a sharp, self-aware message: “We are No. 2. We work harder.” Borrowing from a legendary advertising playbook, the move sparked a fresh wave of competition among southern states vying for investment and influence. In the first episode of our special limited series South Capital, we put the spotlight on Andhra Pradesh’s renewed push under Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu. From reviving stalled mega-projects to enticing investors across state borders, AP is pulling out all stops to reclaim its place on India’s economic map. Host Nidhi Sharma sits down with Nara Lokesh, Minister for IT, Electronics, and Communications, to unpack the real story from leadership transitions and political recalibrations to whether Andhra’s promise of “speed of doing business” can challenge the established investor ecosystems of Tamil Nadu and Karnataka.You can follow our hosts Nidhi Sharma on their social media: Twitter & LinkedinCheck out other interesting episodes like:The Curious Case of HUL’s CEO Shuffle, Health Hazards in your Grocery Bag, Trump vs Harvard: India Impact, Brandalore Rising! and much more.

The first section was, 'Change the channel, change your life.'" We talked about why we are where we are now: it's because of what we've been listening to, what we've been reading—the sound that we're allowing to come into our mind and our heart. So, how do I get into this most intimate of services, a connection with a pure devotee, Śrīla Prabhupāda, under whom I've taken shelter in this Krishna Consciousness Movement? How do I do it? How? It sounds okay—maybe it's for others, maybe not me. Page by page, reading Śrīla Prabhupāda's books every day is a prerequisite for knowing him and for advancing in spiritual life. So, we actually have to make voluntary life changes. We call this the VLCs. You are human, you can decide; you make the voluntary life change because you're the agent of your own improvement. Here are the two elements that are necessary: knowledge and practice, that will move you to your destination. Remember that nobody—there's no soul that's permanently unqualified. Everyone can rise in due course of time. And remember, even if you're inept, even if you're not very good at it, at least show up, because there's magic in just being there for the reading. So here's one of the obstacles. After we've surveyed many devotees around the world and asked them, "What's the main obstacle?" The answer is, "I don't have time." Here's breaking news for those of you who may be missing it: it's not time we lack, it's taste, and we only get a taste by taking time. This unlocks and disposes off this particular obstacle that "I don't have time." We already found out we all have 24 hours, at least the ones we interviewed. It may be different in Iceland or something, but we all get the same amount of time. So, it's not time; it's taste. Why do some people read more than others? Because they have a taste for it. How do you get a taste? You have to take the time. So you have to budget some time to start. Another common thought is, "I can't understand Śrīla Prabhupāda's books." Śrīla Prabhupāda said he couldn't understand his guru when he first heard him, but he stayed. That's the reason Śrīla Bhaktisiddhānta noticed him at his initiation. Śrīla Bhaktisiddhānta said, "I marked him. He likes to hear. He does not go away." So if you want to be recognized, you could stay there and listen. There was a brāhmaṇa in South India that Caitanya Mahāprabhu met, who was every day reading the Bhagavad-gītā, but he couldn't read. He just did the best he could; he hacked away at it, and everyone was laughing at him. Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu saw that this brāhmaṇa was crying when he was reading, and He asked him, "Why are you crying?" And he said, "My guru told me to read this every day, but I can't read." He said, "Then, why are you crying?" He said, "Because I think of Krishna when I'm doing this, that He drove the chariot for Arjuna, and He's so kind to His devotee, so I can't help but cry when I think of Krishna and holding this Gītā and trying to read it. Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu took that brāhmaṇa with Him. He said, "You've actually understood the Bhagavad-gītā." You don't have to be a great scholar or a Sanskritist. You just have to have a little sincerity and try to read Prabhupāda's books. ------------------------------------------------------------ To connect with His Grace Vaiśeṣika Dāsa, please visit https://www.fanthespark.com/next-steps/ask-vaisesika-dasa/ ------------------------------------------------------------ Add to your wisdom literature collection: https://iskconsv.com/book-store/ https://www.bbtacademic.com/books/ https://thefourquestionsbook.com/ ------------------------------------------------------------

Send us a textMonique Kemp's world turned upside down when her unborn son was diagnosed with an interrupted aortic arch at seven months of pregnancy. What followed was a harrowing journey through six open-heart surgeries, months of hospitalization, and the birth of something unexpected – a powerful vision for supporting other families facing similar challenges.From those early days sitting beside her newborn's hospital bed to founding Heart of Hope-Cape Town, Monique shares with raw honesty how she transformed her personal pain into purpose. Her support group, now running for 12 years, fills a critical gap she identified during those long hospital stays – medical staff trained to heal bodies, not necessarily to hold space for parents' emotional trauma.The conversation takes a dramatic turn when Monique reveals how her maternal instinct potentially saved her son's life. As Daniel entered his teen years, his complaints of pain were repeatedly dismissed as psychological by doctors who had known him since infancy. Only after switching to a new pediatrician did they discover his heart conduit had grown down into his stomach, displacing organs and causing genuine physical distress. This experience highlights a dangerous blind spot in CHD care–the critical transition period between ages 10-21 when patients are most likely to fall through the cracks.Perhaps most eye-opening is Monique's perspective on global CHD care disparities, comparing attitudes toward heart interventions between North and South India, and advocating passionately for what the CHD community needs most: to become "one voice" as prominent as the condition itself, which remains the number one birth defect worldwide.Whether you're a heart parent seeking community, a medical professional wanting deeper insight into patient experiences, or simply someone interested in how personal tragedy can transform into powerful advocacy, this conversation will leave you understanding why the CHD journey requires both medical expertise and emotional support that only other heart families can truly provide.Links Mentioned in the Episode:Top 20 Congenital Podcasts: https://podcast.feedspot.com/congenital_disorders_podcastsBaby Hearts Press: https://www.babyheartspress.comSupport the showAnna's Buzzsprout Affiliate LinkBaby Blue Sound CollectiveSocial Media Pages:Apple PodcastsFacebookInstagramMeWeTwitterYouTubeWebsite

Join us in this powerful episode as we dive into the heart of river biodiversity and conservation in South India with Sandeep Menon of the Wildlife Association of South India (WASI). Discover the story of the critically endangered humpback mahseer (Tor remadevii), a keystone and iconic fish species endemic to the Cauvery River and protected within the Cauvery Wildlife Sanctuary. This episode highlights the urgent need for fish conservation, biodiversity management, and sustainable engagement with river ecology in the face of rising threats to freshwater ecosystems.Founded in 1972—the same year India enacted its Wildlife Protection Act—WASI is one of Karnataka's oldest conservation organizations. While much of India's conservation history has centered on charismatic megafauna like tigers and elephants, WASI pioneered efforts to protect aquatic life, emphasizing the overlooked yet vital role of river systems. The humpback mahseer, often growing over five feet in length and weighing up to 50 kg, is not only ecologically important but holds deep cultural and mythological significance in Karnataka, with temple sanctuaries along the Cauvery River historically offering it protection.Sandeep explores how the health of the Cauvery River ecosystem is intrinsically tied to the survival of the mahseer. These fish require clean, oxygen-rich, fast-flowing waters for spawning and survival, making them a natural indicator of freshwater integrity. As dams fragment habitats and pollution disrupts flow regimes, the mahseer's survival becomes a symbol of broader freshwater conservation challenges.In this conversation, Sandeep outlines WASI's innovative three-pronged conservation strategy. The first is rigorous scientific research—including telemetry tracking, habitat mapping using drones and GIS, and an in-situ breeding program for the endangered humpback mahseer. Second, WASI physically protects stretches of the Cauvery by leasing river sections from the Fisheries Department—not for fishing, but for conservation. These stretches are patrolled to prevent poaching, dynamite fishing, and other destructive practices. Third, WASI has established a unique self-sustaining model: issuing catch-and-release angling licenses. Revenue from this ethical angling supports research, anti-poaching patrols, and community outreach, making conservation both participatory and economically viable.Importantly, this episode also touches on how catch-and-release practices are regulated with strict guidelines to minimize stress and injury to fish. From handling protocols to photographic limits and de-hooking tools, WASI's best practices ensure that angling becomes a force for conservation rather than exploitation.Listeners will also learn about the threats facing the humpback mahseer, such as declining water levels, hybridization with other mahseer species, habitat degradation, and the introduction of invasive species like grass carp. The episode details WASI's efforts to create India's first comprehensive management plans for aquatic sanctuaries—filling a critical gap in freshwater biodiversity conservation.Sandeep also emphasizes the critical role of public awareness and local engagement. From school and college volunteers conducting telemetry fieldwork to social media campaigns and community outreach with fishing communities, WASI's approach is deeply collaborative. Listeners passionate about wild Karnataka and namma Karnataka's rivers will find practical ways to get involved—whether through volunteering, spreading awareness, or supporting evidence-based river conservation.This conversation reminds us that beneath the surface of India's rivers lies an invisible world teeming with life, and that biodiversity conservation must include all species, from the tiger to the tiniest fish. Protecting the humpback mahseer is not just about saving one species; it's about restoring entire ecosystems, cultural heritage, and sustainable coexistence with nature.Watch now to understand why river biodiversity matters, and how one organization is making a big impact in the waters of South India.

What do anthropologists do when they compare, what do people do when they compare? Professor Soumhya Venkatesan shows how comparison produces meaning, including fresh ways of understanding the world and making particular projects worthwhile by way of contrast. Equally, she asks: when does comparison stop being helpful? When might greater insights be gained by staying with things? She will think through these questions ethnographically as well as synthetically, the latter mainly by focusing on decolonisation and its aspirational reach. Soumhya Venkatesan is Professor of Social Anthropology at the University of Manchester. She is the author of Decolonizing Anthropology: An Introduction (2024, Polity). She has conducted ethnographic fieldwork in South India among Muslim weavers and Hindu priests, and in England among freedom-loving Brexiteers and pub philosophers. Venkatesan's keynote lecture was recorded on June 16, 2025 in Helsinki at the conference organized by the Finnish Anthropological Society.

He pursued finance in London, covering European equities, before returning to the US to manage a global equity portfolio. He reflects on the role of chance in his career, noting that while he made decisions along the way, crucial jumps happened by accident. Moving to this current role at Diamond Hill we discuss the importance of teams, and how this is often an overlooked aspect of portfolio management. We look at how he nurtures a team – even from a largely remote base – and how autonomy is key to agency and empowerment. Thank you to GCM Grosvenor and Resolute Investment Managers, Inc. for sponsoring Series 3 of 2025.GCM Grosvenor is a global alternative asset management firm with a longstanding commitment to supporting small, emerging, and diverse investment managers.

In this profound episode of Parallax, Dr Ankur Kalra welcomes Dr Pam Taub, Professor of Medicine and Director of Preventive Cardiology at UC San Diego, for an enlightening conversation about integrating spirituality, purpose, and scientific curiosity in cardiovascular practice. Dr Taub shares her unique philosophical foundation, shaped by exposure to diverse religions in South India. This experience fostered her belief that all faiths fundamentally center on being a good person and serving others. She explores how this spiritual perspective transforms medicine from a profession into a sacred calling, where patient interactions become profound privileges that fuel her desire to make meaningful impact beyond individual achievements. The episode highlights Dr Taub's groundbreaking work with POTS (Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome), demonstrating how scientific curiosity serves as a spiritual path. Her research journey—from recognizing misdiagnosed conditions to conducting the first clinical trial for ivabradine in POTS—exemplifies how deeper questioning and evidence-based inquiry can transform patient lives on a broader scale.

In this SBS Hindi podcast, we discuss Indian author Banu Mushtaq's win of the 2025 International Booker Prize for her book 'Heart Lamps'. Translated by Deepa Bhasthi from Kannada, this collection features twelve short stories about the daily lives of women in Muslim communities in southern India.

We recorded this some time back and its not as comprehensive as I would have liked it to be (lineage is such a rich and sprawling conversation, after all) so I never posted it but inspired by the conversations in the Discord this morning, I felt that this reflection would be good to have!There is some debate as to whether Macchanda, the founder of the Kaula lineage (who along with his consort and 12 children probably taught around 6-8th CE) is the same as the legendary Matsyendranatha who founded the Hatha Yoga tradition and who taught around the 12th or 13th CE. These are siddhas so they can live forever and materialize any body at any time for any reason, so dating can be a little complex! But there is no doubt that even if they are two different lineage founders that the Nath Sampradaya is included in the Kaula marga! Sri Ramakrishna inherits this lineage from both Kedarama Bhattacharyaji, who initiated him into the Kali mantra and also from Bhairavi Brahmani, who iniated him into the Kaula marga. Both Bhairavi Brahmani and also the legendary Macchanda, are said to have come from Assam. Whereas Konkanamba, by her name must have come from Maharasthra and Matsyendranath but especially Gorakshanath are perhaps from South India. By some accounts, Abhinava Gupta's guru Sambhunatha came from South India and Jnanetra Natha who founds the the Krama/Kali-Kula might have come from Jalandhara and been initiated by Kali herself in the form of the Yogini Mangala Devi in Oddiyana, in the swat valley! So what we get is a sort of Pan-Indian Kaula movement!You might enjoy Śani Deva's beautiful lineage tree which is part of the "community cheat sheet" he's working on!Support the showLectures happen live every Monday at 7pm PST and Friday 10am PST and again Friday at 6pm PST.Use this link and I will see you there:https://www.zoom.us/j/7028380815For more videos, guided meditations and instruction and for access to our lecture library, visit me at:https://www.patreon.com/yogawithnishTo get in on the discussion and access various spiritual materials, join our Discord here: https://discord.gg/U8zKP8yMrM

Sundar reflects on a childhood spent partly among intellectuals travelling between countries, and explains how this led to her recent novel, Habitations, in which the protagonist leaves her home in South India for graduate school at Columbia. Sundar discusses international students' contributions to American intellectual life and how the current assault on diversity damages academia. She also talks about how work-restrictive policies treat international students as “takers” who are not welcome to integrate fully into American society. Sundar reads from Habitations.

The government and opposition are clashing again—this time over delimitation. With the process set to begin after the 2026 census, southern states, led by Tamil Nadu CM MK Stalin, are pushing back against population-based delimitation. Stalin is calling for a 25-year freeze while demanding a "fair" approach—but what's fair for the South may not be for the North. Tune in as Ishaan Gera discusses the complexities of this debate with Ajit Phadnis, Associate Professor at IIM Indore, and Paras Jasrai, Senior Analyst at India Ratings & Research.

In this episode of Bharatvaarta, host Sharan engages in a deep and insightful conversation with Professor Goutham Desiraju from the Indian Institute of Science. The discussion revolves around Professor Desiraju's follow-up book on the delimitation of states in India, a pressing and contentious topic in contemporary Indian politics. The conversation addresses the need for equal value of votes across different constituencies, the historical and political context of the delimitation freeze, and the implications of reconfiguring state boundaries. Professor Desiraju provides a comprehensive analysis of how delimitation, if done scientifically and fairly, can help India become a more balanced and prosperous democracy. The episode also touches on the broader themes of governance, the effects of linguistic states, and the importance of electoral reforms in achieving a true global leadership status for Bharat by 2047.

Earlier this month, at the third History Literature Festival held at Christ University, a session titled ‘Stones and Shadows' traced South India's journey from prehistoric settlements to Megalithic traditions. The discussion examined the indigenous evolution of cultures in peninsular India, challenging the ‘north-centric gaze' on its history. While Megaliths – large stones used to construct a structure or monument – are generally associated with the Iron Age, the exact origins of the Megalithic tradition are shrouded in mystery. Senior archaeologist Ravi Korisettar – honorary director at the Robert Bruce Foote Sangankallu Archaeological Museum – hinted during the event that its antecedents could be found in the ‘Southern Neolithic' period; an era characterised by ash-mounds, grinding and polished tools, and Black and Red Ware pottery.----more----Read full article here: https://theprint.in/opinion/south-india-is-the-missing-link-to-our-megalithic-past-and-it-shows-history-isnt-linear/2562428/

The Other Rāma (SUNY Press, 2020) presents a systematic analysis of the myth cycle of Paraśurāma ("Rāma with the Axe"), an avatára of Viṣṇu best known for decapitating his own mother and annihilating twenty-one generations of the Katriya warrior caste in an extermination campaign frequently referred to as "genocide" by modern scholars. Compared to Rāma and Ka, the other human forms of Viṣṇu, Paraśurāma has a much darker reputation, with few temples devoted to him and scant worshippers. He has also attracted far less scholarly attention. But dozens of important castes and clans across the subcontinent claim Paraśurāma as the originator of their bloodline, and his mother, Reukā, is worshipped in the form of a severed head throughout South India. Using the tools of comparative mythology and psychoanalysis, Brian Collins identifies three major motifs in the mythology of Paraśurāma: his hybrid status as a Brahmin warrior, his act of matricide, and his bloody one-man war to cleanse the earth of Katriyas. Collins considers a wide variety of representations of the myth, from its origins in the Mahābhārata to contemporary debates online. He also examines Paraśurāma alongside the Wandering Jew of European legend and Psycho's matricidal serial killer Norman Bates. He examines why mythmakers once elevated this transgressive and antisocial figure to the level of an avatāra and why he still holds such fascination for a world that continues to grapple with mass killings and violence against women.

An astonishing variety of murals greet visitors to the temples and palaces of southern India. Beautiful in execution and extensive in scope, murals painted on walls and ceilings adorn the most important spaces of early modern religious and political performance. Scene by scene, histories of holy sites, portraits that incorporate historical figures into mythic landscapes, and Tamil and Telugu inscriptions that evoke the imagined topographies of devotional poetry unfold before the mobile spectator. Body, History, Myth reconceives the relationship between art and devotion in South India by describing how the extraordinary sensory experience of a viewing body in motion unfurls a sacred narrative exquisitely designed to teach, impress, and inspire. Anna Lise Seastrand offers new insights into the arts of early modern southern India, bringing to life one of the most culturally vibrant yet least understood periods in Indian art. She shows how temple visitors become active participants in the paintings through their somatic engagement with visual stories and devotional landscapes. Seastrand highlights the significance of textuality in early modern South Asia by examining the status of professional scribes and the prominence given to authorship of religious literature and art. Her insights are presented alongside new translations of the texts that accompany mural paintings. Featuring a wealth of stunning images published here for the first time, Body, History, Myth: Early Modern Murals in South India (Princeton UP, 2024) provides a multidimensional reading of temple art that fundamentally reframes the artistic, intellectual, religious, and political histories of early modern India.

On September 5, 2017, the journalist Gauri Lankesh was shot and killed outside of her house in Bangalore by armed assailants traveling on a motorbike. Lankesh, a journalist and social activist, was known for being a fierce critic of right-wing Hindutva politics and her murder has widely been seen as retribution for her outspoken views.A new book by the journalist Rollo Romig, I Am on the Hit List: A Journalist's Murder and the Rise of Autocracy in India, recounts the extraordinary life and tragic death of Gauri Lankesh. Rollo is a journalist, essayist, and critic.

She is a biocultural anthropologist, human behavioral ecologist, and anthropological demographer with interests in marriage, family, kinship, parental investment, fertility, mortality, and inequality. She has conducted field research on the economics of marriage and parental investment in urban South India, the causes of rapid fertility decline in rural Bangladesh, and the effects of market integration on wealth, social networks, and health in rural Bangladesh.   In this episode, we start by talking about an evolutionary account of the sexual division of labor. We then discuss the different kinds of kinship systems, and how they relate to the distribution of resources and the rise of gender disparities. We also talk about the link between religion and fertility. We discuss fertility decline across the world, and the different factors behind it, with a focus on women's education. Finally, we talk about the evolution of social and economic inequality in human societies, and the transition from relatively equal societies to increasingly unequal societies. -- A HUGE THANK YOU TO MY PATRONS/SUPPORTERS: PER HELGE LARSEN, JERRY MULLER, BERNARDO SEIXAS, ADAM KESSEL, MATTHEW WHITINGBIRD, ARNAUD WOLFF, TIM HOLLOSY, HENRIK AHLENIUS, FILIP FORS CONNOLLY, DAN DEMETRIOU, ROBERT WINDHAGER, RUI INACIO, ZOOP, MARCO NEVES, COLIN HOLBROOK, PHIL KAVANAGH, SAMUEL ANDREEFF, FRANCIS FORDE, TIAGO NUNES, FERGAL CUSSEN, HAL HERZOG, NUNO MACHADO, JONATHAN LEIBRANT, JOÃO LINHARES, STANTON T, SAMUEL CORREA, ERIK HAINES, MARK SMITH, JOÃO EIRA, TOM HUMMEL, SARDUS FRANCE, DAVID SLOAN WILSON, YACILA DEZA-ARAUJO, ROMAIN ROCH, DIEGO LONDOÑO CORREA, YANICK PUNTER, CHARLOTTE BLEASE, NICOLE BARBARO, ADAM HUNT, PAWEL OSTASZEWSKI, NELLEKE BAK, GUY MADISON, GARY G HELLMANN, SAIMA AFZAL, ADRIAN JAEGGI, PAULO TOLENTINO, JOÃO BARBOSA, JULIAN PRICE, EDWARD HALL, HEDIN BRØNNER, DOUGLAS FRY, FRANCA BORTOLOTTI, GABRIEL PONS CORTÈS, URSULA LITZCKE, SCOTT, ZACHARY FISH, TIM DUFFY, SUNNY SMITH, JON WISMAN, WILLIAM BUCKNER, PAUL-GEORGE ARNAUD, LUKE GLOWACKI, GEORGIOS THEOPHANOUS, CHRIS WILLIAMSON, PETER WOLOSZYN, DAVID WILLIAMS, DIOGO COSTA, ALEX CHAU, AMAURI MARTÍNEZ, CORALIE CHEVALLIER, BANGALORE ATHEISTS, LARRY D.

Modern psychology meets ancient wisdom in this thought-provoking episode of Wisdom of the Sages which asks, “Why do we cling to that which was never truly ours?” Join Raghunath and Kaustubha as they dive into intriguing parallels between the Ultimatum Game—a groundbreaking behavioral economics experiment—and the timeless teachings of the Śrīmad Bhāgavatam. Explore how Bali Maharaja's surrender to Lord Vāmanadeva reveals the illusory nature of territorial attachments and provides a new perspective to see a deeper truth: nothing in this world truly belongs to us. ✨ Key Takeaways: •⁠  ⁠What the Ultimatum Game teaches us about fairness, ego, and self-defeating decisions. •⁠  ⁠Bali Maharaja's awe-inspiring vision of Lord Vishnu's universal form. How spiritual wisdom can elevate our thinking and free us from endless conflict. Kaustubha shares about the time he and his wife were turned away at a famous Temple in South India for not being born “Hindu”.

Police Matters: The Everyday State and Caste Politics in South India, 1900–1975 (Cornell UP, 2021) moves beyond the city to examine the intertwined nature of police and caste in the Tamil countryside. Radha Kumar argues that the colonial police deployed rigid notions of caste in their everyday tasks, refashioning rural identities in a process that has cast long postcolonial shadows. Kumar draws on previously unexplored police archives to enter the dusty streets and market squares where local constables walked, following their gaze and observing their actions towards potential subversives. Station records present a textured view of ordinary interactions between police and society, showing that state coercion was not only exceptional and spectacular; it was also subtle and continuous, woven into everyday life. The colonial police categorized Indian subjects based on caste to ensure the security of agriculture and trade, and thus the smooth running of the economy. Among policemen and among the objects of their coercive gaze, caste became a particularly salient form of identity in the politics of public spaces. Police Matters demonstrates that, without doubt, modern caste politics have both been shaped by, and shaped, state policing.  Radha Kumar is Assistant Professor of History at the Maxwell School in Syracuse University. Dr. Kumar holds a PhD in History from Princeton University, where she specialized in Modern South Asian Studies. She has conducted archival research in a range of cities including Madurai, Tirunelveli, Bangalore, Chennai, Delhi, and London, and was supported by the History Department at Princeton University and by the Princeton Institute for International and Regional Studies.
