In this podcast, we talk to Abhinav Kadambi & Krishna Rajaganesan - Founders of a Bharatiya strength training startup - about the important but neglected area of physical fitness & strength training, from a Bharatiya POV. What’s the relevance of physical strength & kshaatra for parents? Hear all about mugdar, gadaa (mace), kusti (wrestling). How is the Bharatiya method different from modern gymming? (It is holistic and develops the body, mind, emotions & spirit). There is a diet component and the whole system of training is personalised. There’s also the common thread of the sacred running through all our art forms, making bala-sadhana also a part of self-transcendence eventually. How can you train? (Krishna & Abhinav will walk you through the steps, no matter what your age & profession). Workshops are available for specific groups like Bharatanatyam dancers too. Listen to this interesting conversation on how the fabled Hindu physical prowess is all but forgotten by its descendants today and what we can do to revive it. Please be sure to read about ancient Hindu warriors here. Please support these two young men and their startup by committing to train the Bharatiya way. You can help build a community by getting more people into akhadas. What can you do? Follow “MugdarMonk” and “abhinavk17” on Instagram.
