This is the podcast incarnation of the substack Philosophy As Therapy, where I practice free range philosophy both "eastern" and "western." I do this by interviewing fascinating people.

    In this episode, I have a delightfully long conversation with David Godman, writer, editor, anthologist, and former librarian at Sri Ramanasramam in Tiruvannamalai and probably the world's leading English language expert on the teachings of Ramana Maharshi. We discuss his work on the poetry of Sri Murugunar, an important disciple of Ramana, as well as his time with and writings about Nisargadatta Maharaj, Papaji, and Ganga Maa.

    In this episode I was honoured to speak with Ven. Bhikkhu Bodhi, perhaps the greatest living english language scholar of Theravada Buddhism about his life and work. We discuss his monastic life, his time with Nyanoponika Thera, his creation of the Buddhist Global Relief Fund, and his public statements about the conflict in Gaza.

We discuss his life, the nature of reality and enlightenment, and the many teachers and fellow adventurers he crossed paths with, including in this episode Vishvanathan Swami (a direct disciple of Ramana Maharshi), Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj, and others!
