The Dharmic Therapist: Hindu Approaches to Mental Health

Published: June 13, 2023, 9:51 p.m.

This episode of Stars, Stripes, and Sanatanis tackles a topic on the minds of youth in America and beyond - mental health - from a non-Western perspective. Ravi Jaishankar, a member of Hindu Students Council's Board of Trustees, joins the podcast as a special guest to help deconstruct the issue through a Hindu lens. Ravi's clear and lucid explanations of relevant Hindu concepts give listeners a refreshing introduction to a topic that is traditionally considered taboo among present day Hindu society, even though there are countless psychological and philosophical methods rooted in the Hindu tradition that can help us in our mental health journey.
