My Mom Thought I’d Joined a Punk Rock Band | Shaunak Rishi Das

Hindu thought approaches life through knowledge (vidya), choice, and personal responsibility. Western theological thinking often frames life through sin and salvation. These are not competing truths, they are alternate philosophical traditions for understanding life, consciousness, and human agency. When one worldview is filtered through the lens of another, nuance can get lost and so can understanding. What  happens when someone born into a Western Christian world encounters Hindu philosophy? That’s exactly what the episode, “My Mom Thought I’d Joined a Punk Rock Band” is all about Shaunaka Rishi Das, Director of the Oxford Centre for Hindu Studieson India: A Story in the Making. One of my most insightful conversations with someone who considers himself an Irish Catholic Hindu.  If you liked this video, the full conversation is a must-watch.
