“I just needed you to know what a positive impact your podcast has made in my life. I’m a 20-year-old university student and although I’ve been exposed to Hinduism my whole life I’ve always questioned it and never understood so much.

Your discourses and teachings make it super relatable and digestible especially to a younger audience such as myself to really appreciate Hinduism for its simplicity and also how complex it is at the same time.”
