What happens when Hindu philosophy is viewed through a Western lens?
And why did the very land where this thought was born lose the vocabulary to study it? Shaunaka Rishi Das — founder of the first Centre for Hindu Studies at Oxford — explains how generations grew up connecting to Hinduism with emotion, but not intellect.

This is the HighFive section from my conversation with Shaunaka Rishi Das — a man whose journey from Ireland to India is one of faith, philosophy, and self-discovery.
