Author: Hindu American Foundation June 30, 2022 Duration: 21:31

In this episode we’re bringing back HAF’s very own California Advocacy Director Easan Katir, who, doesn’t just do Hindu advocacy work, but rather since 1983 has provided wealth management for families, individuals, and retirement plans. Last time we spoke about Dharmic Investing in general. Today we’re talking about the current state of the financial markets, how to weather them, which sectors are doing well, and how to think about wealth management through the lens of dharma.

There's a particular rhythm to life when ancient tradition meets contemporary reality, and That's So Hindu finds its pulse in those conversations. This isn't a lecture or a sermon; it's a series of genuine dialogues with people you might recognize from the news, from your community, or from your favorite books. Each episode sits down with a diverse array of American voices-entrepreneurs navigating boardrooms, activists organizing for change, artists creating new works, and scholars deepening public understanding-to explore a simple but profound question: how does Hinduism actively shape their daily work, their creative vision, and their personal journey? You'll hear how spiritual concepts translate into practical business ethics, how philosophical ideas inform political advocacy, and how cultural heritage fuels artistic expression. The Hindu American Foundation brings forward these stories not as monolithic statements, but as individual, lived experiences that collectively paint a vibrant picture of modern identity. The result is a podcast that feels both intimate and expansive, revealing the subtle and overt ways wisdom traditions weave through 21st-century American life. It’s about the grounding found in a morning mantra before a big meeting, the resilience drawn from an ancient story during a personal challenge, and the innovation sparked by a timeless principle. Tune in for thoughtful, often surprising discussions that celebrate the dynamic and deeply personal ways these paths are walked every day.
