Spiritual Leader & Social Reformer Vinoba - Episode 4

  • Summary

  • Let’s talk about a figure in indian history who, for Indian authorities, just would not “Bhave” himself!

    Today, we're diving into the story of Vinayak Narahari Bhave, aka Vinoba, the man who took "hangry" to a whole new level.

    Vinoba was a spiritual leader and social reformer who went on a hunger strike at the age of six, all because he wanted to go to school. We don't know about you, but we can barely go six hours without snacking, let alone six days without food. But Vinoba didn't stop there. He went on to become a prolific writer, philosopher, and advocate for nonviolence and social justice. He even walked across India on foot, spreading his message of love and peace. We like to imagine him strolling through the countryside, with a bag of snacks tucked under his arm just in case he got hangry again.

    So, if you're ready to mis-Bhave, join us for this episode about the one and only Vinoba. Just don't forget to bring some snacks!
