Summary

In this Unheard Cut, Krista speaks with musician Anoushka Shankar from a Minneapolis hotel while she was touring in 2002. This interview is included in our program Approaching Prayer.

We explore the subject of prayer, how it sounds, and what it means in three different traditions and lives. See more at onbeing.org/program/approaching-prayer/67‎
