A story about cultural appropriation and open-mindedness
Episode 10
Thursday, 8 May, 2025
If this collection of practices, teachings, philosophies, and methodologies for living, for spiritual exploration that we call Hinduism, that we call the Hindu Dharma Traditions, has real value in the world for people who may never fully embrace it or call themselves Hindu — and it certainly does, of that I am entirely convinced — then I think we must be careful to be as welcoming of people dipping their toes in the water as I was welcomed initially.Missed the first series of episodes of All About Hinduism?
