Hindu Trans-generational Trauma

Hindu Trans-generational Trauma

Author: Hindu Parenting August 6, 2023 Duration: 57:27

In this podcast we converse with Dr. Rajat Mitra, internationally renowned Professor and Clinical Pyschologist on the trans-generational trauma faced by Hindus.

We explore many issues relating to the collective Hindu psyche, the silence and the lack of empathy with other Hindus. Other survivors of genocides have historically had the same trauma response and the way to set our next generation free from these mental shackles is by owning the past, acknowledging the trauma and moving on into joyous healing.

We owe it to our descendants to pass on the glorious tradition of science, learning, knowledge, memory and feeling that is the hallmark of the Hindu civilisation.

Listen to a fascinating conversation that will set our children free!

Please look up Dr. Rajat Mitra’s website to find out about his illustrious career. He has worked with the grief and trauma of people across many countries, giving him an unparalleled perspective into the issue. He is the author of the much-acclaimed work of fiction The Infidel Next Door, recommended reading for parents and children.
