Our experience of the world, our identity, and our physical reality are based on our learned perceptions.  Today on the Dhru Purohit Podcast, Dhru sits down with spiritual leader Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar to talk about how to break down false beliefs of our own experience in this life to end suffering and find infinite joy and possibility. They also talk about how things like mindfulness and meditation can help us get out of an ego-centered mindset and into a greater awareness of our purpose.
