In this rich and wide-ranging episode, Swami Padmanabha is joined by Swami Medhananda—a monk of the Ramakrishna Order and a renowned scholar in global philosophy of religion.
Their conversation explores the dynamic interplay between Brahman and Bhagavan, personalism and impersonalism, and the nuanced theological implications of each. Together, they consider whether these categories are mutually exclusive or can coexist harmoniously within a single tradition. The dialogue also delves into the perceived hierarchies some traditions place between personal and impersonal realizations—and whether such distinctions are necessary or even accurate.
