In this podcast episode, we explore the contemporary culture of spirituality within the marketplace of life. Unlike in previous ages when immersion into the spiritual life was a total devotion by becoming a monk or living on the metaphorical mountaintop, or else took place in the latter years of one’s life when householder duties were over, today spirituality has filtered into the mainstream culture.
Amoda Maa is in conversation with host and husband, Kavi, talking about whether this spiritual filtering into the everyday life has changed the nature of the spiritual path and if there are any obstacles and/or benefits to the marriage of the spiritual and the secular.
