Namarasa Das's parents became Hare Krishna when he was one year old. His dad got really into it and his mum was very unsure, especially since she saw it as a threat to stable family life. He grew up part of a spiritual community on weekends and a typical American high school kid Monday to Friday.
He started to have doubts about his faith and needed to figure it out for himself so he embarked on a life-changing trip to India to study philosophy there and came back ready to commit his life to spiritual ideals.
He talks about the importance of humour on the spiritual path, his love of memes and why we shouldn't take ourselves too seriously. We talk in-depth about having to grow up and mature in spiritual life, learning to let go of certain aspects of culture if they aren't helpful and definitely not letting anyone rule your life too much.
Fatherhood, marriage, progressive and traditional approaches are all in there too.
Have a listen.
