Cultural Appropriation and Spirituality with Pavithra Banavar (Part II)

Multitudes

What would you do when a spiritual system you have found helpful also has problematic aspects? How does cultural appropriation manifest in spirituality?
We talk about these questions, as well as the connection of Hinduism and spirituality, assimilation and Indian culture in America, and the revolutionary importance of rest.
