TAD Talks—RADICAL EMBODIMENT: embracing our body in bhakti—warts and all | Krishna Kumari

Being born with spina bifida, Krishna Kumari’s journey began in a very intense way—with over 50 surgeries by the time she was 15 years old. Succumbing to feelings of deep shame, she turned to body-denial as a way to survive. Being introduced to Gaudiya Vaishnavism with the sutra “You’re not this body,” she thought she had found the jackpot of affirmation, the ultimate permission, freedom and necessity to reject her body. Finally she belonged…but in what way?

Join us as Krishna Kumari shares her challenges and healings as she struggles free from the crushing weight of body- and self-denial into the embrace of Radical Embodiment, an aspect of radical personalism.
