Practical Spirituality: Hinduism & Current Events with Premanand Das Bhagat
This show is a 2025 People's Choice Podcast Award nominee. For seekers who’ve outgrown spiritual fluff. Real talk for real seekers. A no-BS Hindu/Sanatana Dharma based cultural critic dissecting modern society with spiritual clarity. I challenge lazy universalism, reject blind guru-worship, and speak directly to seekers on a practical level. I'm not here to entertain. I'm here to provoke thought, while being grounded in dharma. Each episode is part of a larger journey. This isn’t random content—it’s a structured path into deeper truth, not easy comfort. See videos for contact info.
