Join Mukunda, Racchit and Professor Jeffery Long, Professor of Religious and Hindu Studies at Elizabethtown College in Pennsylvania. Professor Long is the author of many books and articles on Hinduism, Jainism and Buddhism. Most recently Professor Long is the editor of “Perspectives on Reincarnation: Hindu, Christian, Scientific”. This is part 1 of 4 of our discussion and in Part 1 we discuss:

  1. Professor Long discusses his journey to Hinduism from Christianity starting with the tragic loss of his father at a young age to finding the Bhagavad Gita and his path to taking initiation in the Ramakrishna Mission. (from the beginning to about the 13:30 min mark)
  2. We discuss Ramakrishna, Vivekananda and the tradition that they built world wide. We discuss the similarity and differences between this tradition versus the traditional Kevala Advaita Vedanta of Sankaracharya. (starts at 13:30 mark to end of part 1 at 40 min 21 sec mark )
