Episode notes

Militant atheist Richard dawkins held a government post at oxford University. His successor marcus dusatoy said his approach is more conciliatory. He wants to go out and learn what can be learned, preserving the rigor of the scientific approach but open to dialogue with religion. A dwita veranta says that it is possible to become enlightened in one lifetime.

"The objects of knowledge, viz., sound, touch, etc., which are perceived in the waking state, are different from each other because of their peculiarities; but the consciousness of these, which is different from them, does not differ because of its homogeneity." Inspired by this verse from the book, Pancadasi by Vidyaranya (Ch 1, Verse 3), Swami Sarvapriyananda gives a discourse on direct path of Advaita Vedanta.
