Satsang: Shaping of the Divine in Hindu Thought | Dr Robert Svoboda | Rahul Dewan | Dr Ramkumar

Fate unfolds through karma—when aligned with it, life flows. Sankhya teaches that all things arise from awareness. Our journey is shaped by Prarabdha (destiny) and Sanchit (accumulated karma), with some actions fixed (Drirah), some flexible (Adrirah), and others transformable through effort and faith.Deities exist beyond our perception—part energy, part sentient force. Their forms are co-created, revealed when one connects deeply. In ancient times, oracles and possession acted as bridges to the divine. Urban life made this connection static, weakening our link to prana. Without harmony between prana, action, and wisdom (Vidya), imbalance arises—hence the need for Ayurveda. Science explains matter, but not consciousness. Sankhya’s vision of Sachidananda mirrors modern physics, pointing to the divine as the universe experiencing itself.
