Ep. 92: Name & Form

In this episode of "The Daily Vedantic”, James explores the profound concept of "Nama Rupa" – name and form. Delving into the radical philosophy of Advaita Vedanta, we unravel the layers of superimposition that veil our perception of reality. Join us on a journey to understand how the world, as we see it, is merely an illusion, a projection of names and forms. As we peel back this veil, we discover the unity behind the plurality and realize the essence of our true self. Don't miss this exploration into the nature of existence and identity.

The Daily Vedantic is a daily podcast and YouTube channel dedicated to the timeless wisdom of the Upanishads (https://www.thedailyvedantic.co). Dating back to over 5,000 years ago, the source of nearly all Eastern Philosophy, and loved by Western giants from Emerson to Thoreau to Carl Jung and Alan Watts, studied daily by Joseph Campbell to Aldous Huxley to Arthur Schopenhauer and countless others, The Daily Vedantic aims to make this ancient philosophy as modern and accessible as it is simple, practical — and profound.
