Episode 6: The Wisdom of Eden - Inverting an Ancient Tale

In this episode, Dr. Raj discusses the interplay between masculine and feminine principles. After deconstructing the masculine ethos of the Garden of Eden story, Dr. Raj inverts that rather than being cursed by God, Adam and Eve are blessed by the Goddess.

Hosted by Dr. Raj Balkaran, a Sanskrit scholar, storyteller and online educator. In addition to academic training, he was lineally trained by Mantriji, our sangha's parama-guru. He teaches at the Oxford Centre for Hindu Studies and at The Indian Wisdom School where he applies ancient Indian wisdom to modern Western life. He is also the author of "The Stories Behind the Poses: The Indian Mythology that Inspired 50 Yoga Postures."
