#107 - Sexuality from the Hindu Perspective - a podcast by High Noon

“Our perception is  to not stick with “this is my religion”. Religions are made by man, but Divinity or spirituality already exists in the universe.” -Dileepkumar Thankappan

Every religion has its own set of cultures and beliefs. We all have different perspectives when it comes to discussing such topics and matters, yet it is very important that we learn to also listen and respect one another's views to maintain our unity and peace.

Sexuality is openly discussed among Hindus. Children are guided by their parents and educated by their gurus. From the Hindu perspective, sex is a divine action within a committed relationship, which is marriage. Marriage is a sacred union and it involves not just two individuals but an arrangement between two families. 

In episode 107, we are joined by Dileepkumar Thankappan, internationally known as "Avadhuta H.H. Jagat Guru Dileepji Maharaj" (Spiritual Name) and otherwise known as "Guruji". He is a world-renowned Yogi and Interfaith Minister from Tripunithura erstwhile, the capital of Cochin kingdom in Kerala, India. He is an honorable guest speaker and judge in many international conferences, events, competitions, festivals and is a recipient of several peace awards and titles for his yogic services to humanity.

Guruji shares with us the teachings of Hindu, and how sexuality is viewed from the Hindu perspective. He also discusses the importance of understanding the real meaning of life, and universal spirituality. 

We are not defined by the religion we belong to, and we are not different or divided simply because we do not share the same faith or beliefs. What matters most is how we connect with God and live our lives in a way that honors Him.
