🕉️ आस्तिक vs नास्तिक ⚛️ | Podcast EP-03 | ft. Acharya Yogesh and Kushal Mehra | Atheism vs Theism

Join us for an engaging and thought-provoking debate in Episode 3 of the Striking Thoughts Show by Hyper Quest, where we dive deep into the timeless clash between Astik (theism) and Nastik (atheism/agnosticism). This isn’t just a discussion—it’s an intellectual duel that explores the essence of belief, spirituality, free will, and morality in the modern world.

🧠 On one side, we have Acharya Yogesh Bhardwaj, an expert in Vedic literature and Sanatan Dharma philosophy, representing the Hindu theist (Astik) viewpoint.

🔥 On the other, Kushal Mehra, a well-known voice in Nāstik Darshan (atheist/agnostic thought) and a powerful advocate for rationalism, brings sharp arguments backed by science, logic, and philosophical reasoning.

In this episode, we explore:

🔹Is belief in God necessary for morality?
🔹What do Upanishads, Vedas, and Charvaka philosophy say about God?
🔹What is the relevance of religion and dharma in today’s fast-evolving society?
🔹How do atheism, agnosticism, and Hinduism coexist—or collide?
🔹The role of free will, Karma, and New Atheism in shaping modern thought.

Whether you're a devout believer, a skeptic, or simply curious about Indian philosophy, this conversation between Acharya Yogesh Bhardwaj and Kushal Mehra will leave you with new perspectives and deep questions to ponder.
