Summary

Kiran Bedi engages Sadhguru on the issue of what holds Bharat together as a nation, despite being ethnically and culturally so diverse. Sadhguru starts by explaining that what we know as India or Bharat varsh has existed for over 8,000-10,000 years. Though it was divided into various political entities, it is the fundamental spiritual longing in people which has kept India together for so long. Set the context for a joyful, exuberant day with a short, powerful message from Sadhguru. Explore a range of subjects with Sadhguru, discover how every aspect of life can be a stepping stone, and learn to make the most of the potential that a human being embodies.
