Self-Sovereignty
Introduction
Welcome to another enriching episode of the Interactive Knowledge Exchange series, brought to you from the tranquil halls of the Dwarkadhish Holistic Centre, in collaboration with the Centre for Indian Knowledge Systems at NIT Calicut. Today, we delve into the profound depths of ‘Self-Sovereignty,’ an exploration of the ultimate freedom and mastery over oneself.
In the hustle of our daily lives and the complexity of the world we navigate, the journey towards Self-Sovereignty is both a destination and a pathway to rediscover the essence of who we are beyond societal labels and constraints. We are honoured to have Dr. Vipin Gupta with us once more, whose insights in the previous episode on the distinction between a Guru and Teacher, and the process of reaching Nirvana, left us all illuminated and inspired.
As we steer through today’s session, Dr. Gupta will unravel how Self-Sovereignty is not just a concept, but a transformative practice that empowers us with the independence of spirit and material, guiding us to unchain our inner potential and embrace the divinity within.
With our minds open and spirits attuned, let’s embark on this journey towards personal liberation and autonomy, here at the crossroads of ancient wisdom and modern understanding. Join us as we illuminate the path of Self-Sovereignty, right here on the Interactive Knowledge Exchange.
