Swami Tadananda on Holistic Wellbeing with Hemant Parikh

In this enlightening episode, Swami Tadananda, President of the Vedanta Centre, joins Hemant Parikh to explore the true meaning of holistic wellbeing.

Swami Tadananda explains that taking care of our physical body — through a balanced diet, regular exercise, and avoiding harmful habits — is just one part of the equation. The deeper challenge lies in addressing our mental and emotional wellbeing.

He highlights how, in today’s fast-paced world, stress can quickly escalate into deeper psychological issues, leaving people feeling disconnected and lost. Many turn to medication or counselling, but Swami ji suggests that the real journey begins by looking within.

With relatable examples, he offers insight into developing mental strength and introduces the powerful role of meditation. He describes meditation as a vital tool — a means to tap into our inner spiritual dimension, where true balance and peace begin to flow.

Swami Tadananda on Holistic Wellbeing in Conversation with Hemant Parikh

In a thoughtful exchange with Hemant Parikh, Swami Tadananda, President of the Ramakrishna Mission, delves into the concept of holistic wellbeing — a state of harmony that goes beyond just physical health.

Swami Tadananda begins by highlighting the depth behind a simple greeting like “How are you?” — a question that often addresses far more than one’s physical condition. He emphasizes that as human beings, we are more than just our bodies; we are spiritual beings housed in a physical form.

He elaborates on the teachings of Vedanta, explaining that the Vedas — compiled after centuries of internal exploration — capture the essence of humanity’s spiritual search. While we often identify with our physical form, Vedanta reminds us that our true nature lies beyond it.

Swami Tadananda stresses that one may appear healthy on the outside, yet still struggle internally. True wellbeing, he says, must consider the mind, body, and spirit — an integrated approach that reflects the core teachings of the Vedas and the Ramakrishna tradition.
