In this episode I have an interview with a special guest: the great scholar of Indian philosophy Dr. Debashish Banerji. In this wide-ranging discussion, we discuss the esoteric philosophies of 19th century Indian mystics Sri Ramakrishna, Swami Vivekananda, and Sri Aurobindo. We also discuss the basic spiritual cosmology of ancient Indian philosophy (Brahma, Vishnu, Shiva), before heading into a discussion of the ancient Indian tradition of the "Arya".
My computer was battling with internet connectivity issues throughout so there are many audio blips. I did my best to edit around them: I hope you stick with it, because there's a lot of really good material contained within.

Thank you very much to Dr. Banerji for joining me! Here's a link to his site: https://debashishbanerji.com
Make sure you also find his excellent interviews of Dr. Jeffrey Mishlove on New Thinking Allowed (findable on YouTube).
Thanks for tuning in and I'll be back soon. - Alex
