Intervju med Swami Medhananda

På viktiga kanalen Project Noon i december förra året:

“In this conversation Swami Medhananda joins the host Saad Ismail to discuss his brilliant recent book ‘Swami Vivekananda’s Vedantic Cosmopolitanism’. We discuss Swami Vivekananda’s philosophy of ‘Integral Advaita’ and what makes it different from other forms of Advaita, how are we to approach Swami Vivekananda’s views on religious pluralism in the context of the evolution or maturation of his thought, and where does he stand ultimately in terms of religious exclusivism/inclusivism/pluralism? Where does Islam fit in Swami Vivekananda’s ‘universalism’? What are some common misreadings of his ideas (here we discuss the writing of Jyotirmaya Sharma)? Finally, we look in some detail at how Swami Vivekananda offers us a robust philosophy of mind and consciousness for our times.”
