ÜBER DIESE EPISODE
Welcome to Beyond Borders, a premium podcast series presented by the AP Globale channel, exploring the forces shaping the future world order.
In this thought-provoking episode of our BRICS Conversations series, we are joined by Nitish Bharadwaj—celebrated actor best known for his iconic portrayal of Lord Krishna in Mahabharat, veterinary surgeon, director, and former parliamentarian. Together, we explore the cultural, spiritual, and social shifts defining modern India.
Nitish Bharadwaj reflects on his unique personal journey from veterinary medicine to Indian cinema, unpacking the timeless philosophy of Karma is Dharma and the wisdom embedded in the Vedas and the Bhagavad Gita. The discussion addresses pressing contemporary challenges: why modern families are drifting apart, the impact of short-form content on discipline and mental health, why smartphones should not be handed to children before age 18, and the irreplaceable value of reading real books over digital consumption.
Whether you are seeking perspectives on parenting, civilizational identity, leadership, or personal discipline, this masterclass provides actionable wisdom for navigating the modern world while remaining anchored in foundational values.
