Introducing Hinduism Panel - Mukunda Raghava, Nityananda Chandra, & Arjuna Gallagher

For past two years I have been invited as a guest speaker for the Introducing Hinduism course at Augustana College led by Dr. ‪@KhalilAndani‬. I first met Dr. Andani a few years ago on Clubhouse.


In this panel we have Mukunda Raghava of ‪@themerumedia‬ , Raghava is a YouTuber with connections to Vedanta. “Meru Media is your home for all things related to Indic Culture/Indology, Tradition, History, Philosophy, Religion, and Consciousness.”

I speak in the middle of the video. I have been teaching Bhakti/Kṛṣṇa Consciousness for a little over 20 years.

Our last speaker is Arjuna Gallagher, who hosts the very popular channel, ‪@TheologyUnleashed‬. “Bringing the Caitanya Vaishnava (Hare Krishna) perspective to the online philosophy of religion dialogue. Hosting debates and producing videos arguing for God's existence, against religious fanaticism and exclusivism, and covering related topics.”

Because this was a class where students did not sign a waiver to have their identities shared, I have blurred their images.
