Show Notes

This is the story of David Stollar.

David lives in London and it has always been his home. He dropped out of A levels, and yet defied the odds to become a teacher… and then something even rarer: the Englishman who helped shape how Sanskrit is taught in the UK, writing course books, and contributing to the GCSE syllabus. David has never set foot in India. And still, Sanskrit became his unexpected connection to something ancient, beautiful, and profoundly human. There was a time when David fell into deep depression and sometimes felt suicidal. What helped him hold on and slowly rebuild was study, discipline, and the guiding light of his life: the Bhagavad Gita.

David's captivating journey unfolds in India: A Story in the Making. It’s a story that reminds us geographies don’t define destinies. Meaning can be found. Purpose can return. And even in the most modern world, an ancient language can still change a life. If you’re looking for quiet inspiration, this episode is for you.
