Summary: (http://kamlashow.com/podcast/wp-content/uploads/GCD-in-Conversation-150x150.jpg) In Part-2 of our conversation Gurcharan Das (http://gurcharandas.org/) talks about his new book “The Difficulty of Being Good: On The Subtle Art of Dharma.” He turned to the ancient Indian epic Mahabharata to study the concepts of dharma or doing the right thing. He writes that the Mahabharata “is unique in engaging with the world of politics.” What is more the epic is “suspicious of ideology.” “The Mahabharata is about our incomplete lives, about good people acting badly, about how difficult it is to be good in this world,” writes Mr. Das. Can the ancient Indian epic help us understand the moral failure of governance and financial disasters of the 21st century? Tune in to find out.
