In this episode, I connect with my friend Subanky to discuss what it is like to be of Sri Lankan descent in Canada and the USA, her connection with India, and what religion and spirituality mean to her. 

Here are some of the books that Subanky recommends to any interested readers:

Passage Meditation by Eknath Easwaran
The Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle
