Join Mukunda as he talks to Gopi Shankar Madurai, Founder of Srishti Madurai and an LGBTQIA Hindu Activist. They discuss biological sex, gender identity, sexual preference, the treatment of LGBTQIA people across history and in Indian traditions, the role of spirituality and Hindu thought in these communities, indigenous movements in opposition to American and European notions of LGBTQIA and a host of other topics. This was a fascinating topic and I learned a lot from Gopi. We have added some intro and exit music performed by Krishna Parthasarathy (the song is Gayati Vanamaali by Sadashiva Brahmendra and in the Raaga Hamsadhwani). Let me know your thoughts!
