Each of us unconsciously make nearly 35,000 choices each day. That's a rough 2000 choices every waking hour. You deciding to even land on my podcast involved a small set of choices too... While we're constantly deciding what to do... Do we really have time to think if they're right or wrong? How can you know what's right or what's wrong? This is where my curiosity towards Dharma started... Our elaborately written scriptures have laid out ways we could live our life to the full extent, whilst following Dharma. Many quickly mistake following Dharma, to the equivalent of being superstitious, or meant for the older generations. But I've come to realize that's probably not the case... Its for each and every one of us born as humans.In this podcast, I will try and pick the brains of those very wise people who have spent a major part of their lives learning these scriptures. People who are better well versed in Dharma than I am. I'm aiming at exploring the practical applications of Dharma to our life.Please join me in this journey and give me your precious inputs so lots of others out there can learn and live better fulfilled and happier lives.
