EP-157 | Mythology and History, Art of Storytelling, Sanatana, Bharat vs India with Ashwin Sanghi 

FEEDBACK for Ishan Buddy, next time someone wants to say something, let him finish. Keep your question ready, wait. Ashwin was getting into something when you asked him about the process of Chanakya Chant

Biggest crime is to cut in when the guest is speaking ..Both Smita and Ishaan are guilty of it in this Podcast ..Let the guest SPEAK !!!!

For the first time Ashwinji has pointed out the truth. India is secular only because Hindu is sanatani.

Ashwin sanghi and smita prakash at their best as always

He is not a fiction writer he is a true Guru.

Just a correction: Zohra Sehgal was with Uday Shankar ( the dancer), not Ravi Shankar (the sitar-player)

An absolutely amazing discussion !!! Smita ji you are an absolute blessing … you have made so many diverse topics accessible for understanding.. in simple words… kudos

This was such a wonderful conversation. Have read Ashwin Sanghi's books and they are so gripping. Thabks for this podcast.

I am still watching the episode but stopped by to applaud Ashwin for mentioning the importance of the editor in book writing... thank you so much, sir, for talking about us!! very few people talk about it so openly

Brilliant author and thanks for the podcast.

Thank you Smita Prakash for this wonderful enlightening interview.

Great guest

Knowledgeable ❤❤❤

Thank you for this podcast! ❤ Loved his Krishna key... Finished during my commute though I couldn't stop thinking about it in my office hours. It's beautiful. Looking forward to reading others as well.

Great choice for the podcast guest, as always. Great going, Smita Prakash. Am a regular listener (watcher) of your podcasts now.

Amazing interview. Smita ji able to take out the best of all the her guests. 🙌

Enjoyed the conversation dipping into much of Ashwin's work and his research work, thank you Smitha. I would request you to get Dr. S. L Byrappa one of the legendary writers of India since 60 years who's work is translated into many indian and foreign languages.

Very nice to hear him. This is the first time i did come across Mr. Sanghi

He is one of my favourite author.

Wonderful watch

Thank you for this episode as for the other ones

Grt author! A forever fan of your work, which a reader would certainly remember even years later after reading

If you want to do a podcast about our Itihasa based on archeoastronomy and hydrology then please invite Nilesh Oak... He has done the deepest research about the antiquity of our epics and Vedas...

BRING BACK SAMOSA CAUCUS

Gunvantrai Acharya's Sahas Kathas in Gujrati are fictions full of history. i remembered them while listening this.

Fascinating chat

Finally I get to meet the writer Ashwin Shangi

Smita bring Akshay Khanna on your show. He's one of the underrated actors of the industry...

Good one again.

Excellent 👍

Can we have some new age educationists too on the podcast. I haven't seen one education related podcast. Our future is our present generation and I personally feel what they are taught today, makes them or breaks them. Just a suggestion. And smitaji, I love your dressesz especially sarees. 😊

Madame excellent indepth interview with tough man mayank

During my visit to Chichen Itza near Cancun Mexico, a street vendor tried to attract me by calling Mr.Amitabh Bacchan 😂

His books are really good I read chankya's Chant it is best

Why did you deactivate the download button? Hum save karke office Mai sunte the

I have seen your first podcast because of ashwin only

Why is Ashwin hiding the source of his character Gangasagar Mishra? Gangasagar Mishra is of course based on Dwarikaprasad Mishra,earlier a follower of Sardar and later known as Chanakya,who is believed to have advised Indira. Smita/Ishaan did mention Brajesh Mishra (Son of Dwarikaprasad Mishra) in the passing. Obviously the two anchors are not thorough and Ashwin hides the character source.

I read his books great author

OMG. WHAT A SHOW.

Jai Maa Bharati…..

Wow

Ishaan looking classic in this ensemble.

Strangely the same Vyasa's astronomical reference (Star or Arundhati moving auead of Vashistha) has been claimed to have been found at 5574 BCE by Nilesh Nilchandra Oak. Now he doesnt write fiction, and has no cover. Ye Saahab ko challenge bhi kiya to bolenge maine fiction likha bhyi serious kyu ho raha hai 😅😂

We want Raj thakare in your podcast.

He should write something related to Mahabharat but in a way of Game of Thrones.

Ishan please answer news laundry's question regarding ANI having image building contracts with CMs of states

Hindi me kab aayega

❤

❤❤❤

Very less to take away from this podcast , quality of podcsts had been declining in recent months. Shall call them more sort of like interviews and not podcasts.

👍

Some species is still alive.

In sanatan dharma there is no mythologies only history's....

Sanatan Dharma (Eternal Religion) is the real name of Hindu religion. In Sanatan Dharma, one-size does not fit all. There are many Gods & Goddesses in Sanatan Dharma (Hindu religion) because requirement of blessings, power & inspiration are different in different individuals & also vary at different life time of the same individual. A student recites prayers invoking blessings of Saraswati, a soldier prays before Durga, a ruler before Lord Rama & a singer before Mother Sharda - all to acquire excellence for the purpose of their being - their existence in the world, which is their true Dharma (Religion). Such prayers have potential to bestow excellence to all segments of society unlike other religions where one size fits all. In Gita, Krishna revealed himself as the divine Vishnu & directly gave sermons to Arjuna about life & duties of an individual emphasizing the principles of creation, preservation & annihilation. It is considered as the real revelation & guidance from God without distortion through intermediary prophets. For this reason Krishna is also called Jagatguru (Teacher of the World).. Krishna explained that those who revere me with devotion (Bhakti), they are in me and I too am in them. In the Bhagavad Gita (IX. 23-25), Krishna proclaims that the devotees who worship other deities are in fact worshipping Him; and that those who offer worship to various other deities reach the goals they desire. Before war of Mahabharata, even Krishna prayed before Durga to bless him with victory which symbolized that various deities represent specific powers, blessings & inspirations of God which the devotees must seek in the fulfilment of their duties (Dharma). There is a distinction between "worshiping through Idols" and "idol worship". Idols per se have no such value so we immerse idols - so you find firecrackers with pictures of goddess Laxmi being burst during Diwali, Ganesh idols washed ashore after immersion. In Hinduism, among the fives senses, visual connect (darshan) to the Divine at temples is given primacy where the idol has been historically installed with specific rituals (Pran Pratistha) to invoke presence of Deity in the temple giving specific blessings & strength to the devotees. No wonder devotees wait for several hours, even days to get Darshan of their Deity. This peculiarity of Sanatan Dharma (Hinduism) can be facilitated to create massive domestic tourism at imp religious sites generating huge employment & catapulting economy. Klaus L. Klostermaier, former director of Oxford Centre of Hindu Studies, said : “Hinduism has proven much more open than any other religion to new ideas, scientific thought, and social experimentation” & “ It would not be surprising to find Hinduism the dominant religion of the twenty-first century.”

Ishan dude, it's not your interview. Don't be rude and interrupt the interviewee's flow. Be patient and listen more, speak less.

Is Ishan Prakash only your colleague? Why don't you introduce him as your son? You old people think it would attract the word ''nepotism''. Don't be naive.

Allow the Author when he is in the flow on one topic.. interruption when a topic gets interested is really irritating. And too many interviewers spoilt the interview with too many interruptions. Honestly we are here to listen to the guest more.

If an advocate Doctor and a journalist doesn't have skill of listening then he is not one

Oh!yes. Our ancestors invented planes,trains,cars,computers,and everything else!!

Liar liar stop, Pakistan has equally good hindustani classical music tradition. Classical music is beautiful assimilation of northern indian bhojpuri - maithili - awadhi lead indigenous music with Persian sufi music and arabic rhythm. Sanathan is sophisticated word for harsh self serving political jingoism of upper caste known as "hindutva".

इतिहास- इति+हास (ऐसा हीं हुआ) History- his story ( whose story? ) Mythology- Myth comes from word मिथक ( falsehood) ...may be it's not true but how can we say it's falsehood with so confidence!!

न था कुछ तो ख़ुदा था कुछ न होता तो ख़ुदा होता डुबोया मुझ को होने ने न होता मैं तो क्या होता मिर्ज़ा ग़ालिब

Sanatan ki bat Hindi me kyu nahi karte

Ishaan Prakash just derailed something really interesting that Ashwin wanted to share. Annoying !

Mythology??? Clowns.

Right wing dave-datt pet-nike?

You people in your hurry to bring in a book or film , you are deviating a lot.

Idiotic blabbering. Smita Prakash GET READY TO FACE TRIAL.

Easy reading is damn hard writing 😊 can relate to even write a single post on social media
