Wisdom of the Body


Sep 18, 2020

Dr. Suhas Kshirsagar, Ayurvedic physician and medical astrologer, has been pioneering Ayurveda and Vedic Counseling all over the globe for decades, thanks to his background traveling with the organization behind Transcendental Meditation. In this episode, he talks about how humans make sense of the world and the tension between free will and destiny. His son, Dr. Manas Kshirsagar, joins us and shares how he planned to study conventional medicine, and why he ultimately came back to do healing panchakarma work as an Ayurvedic doctor.

In this interview, we discuss:

  • Where the word atom actually came from
  • Whether astrology, or jyotish, and other quantum sciences, are too “woo woo” for physical scientists
  • Fate vs. free will
  • Why the truth can be difficult to hear
  • How crossing cultures with Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, the guru to the Beatles, taught the Kshirsagar family about universal human desires
