Wed, 25 Jun 2025 16:00:00 +1200

listen to the Podcast with this Long Story: “Sanatana Dharma is not a religion. It is the eternal tradition of humanity. It is a call for peace, unity, and conscious living. If war is the disease, Sanatana is the medicine. It offers both revolution and serenity, not through rage, but through awakened consciousness. If Indians abroad cannot stand together, if they cannot uphold their heritage, values, and unity, they risk losing not only respect from others but their connection to their very roots.” Bageshwar Dham Sarkar, during a Conversation with Indian Newslink in Auckland on June 23, 2025. https://youtu.be/l3jK71O55hM;
