Description: Lunch With Bokara explores the frontiers of religion and metaphysics, of science and spirituality. Join host Bokara Legendre, as she brings together an engaging group of well-known scientists, thinkers, and spiritual teachers from around the world. Be a part of a unique, spontaneous conversation as fascinating guests who have often never met are brought together for the first time to share their insights, knowledge and wisdom.
GOD IS EVERYWHERE AND NOWHERE with Swami Chidanand Saraswati and Wes Nisker, 34 min.
In this program, witness to teachers from 2 very different cultures and traditions share their insights on the core concepts of religious faith.
Celebrating her penchant for bringing interesting people from different traditions together for the 1st time, host Bokara Legendre invites a Hindu swami from the Himalayas who believes in a pantheon of gods, to meet an American Buddhist teacher who follows the nontheistic spiritual path of emptiness.
“ In Hinduism, there are not 'many gods' – there is nothing BUT God. But 'God' in Hinduism says that whatever the way that my devotee worships me, I will appear in that form. Whatever that is. It's no problem, he cause he's God. He can come in any form, and yet he is formless. So, it's not that we worship 'the form', we worship THROUGH the form." -- Swami Chidanand Saraswati
“I'm a secular humanist, and I think one of the reasons that I was so attracted to Buddhism was that it did not ask me to have a belief in any particular form of a God. So when I bow to the Buddha, I'm bowing to that quality in all of us that is compassionate, and awake, and alive, and appreciative of this moment, this present moment, right now.” -- Wes Nisker
