The Two Tongues Podcast explores the most interesting topics that aren't "fit" for popular consumption (or polite dinner conversation). Here you will find honest, unfiltered and unedited conversation between two life-long friends on the state of the world as we see it; politics, religion, mind-altering substances, psychology and philosophy are fair game. Let the fun begin!

S3E20 - The Embryo that is Everything - Creation in the Rig Veda

In this episode Chris reviews a selection of the most ancient creation stories known to man, from the Hindu text--The Rig Veda. He compares and contrasts with the Zoroastrian myth we looked at last week, which is equally ancient, but he doesn't stop there. He also offers comparisons in the Scandinavian Edda's and as far afield as ancient China. We then wrap up with what makes the Hindu accounts unique...and (spoiler alert)...it's the very same thing that leads to the Upanishads...a profound commandment to contemplate the great mystery behind all experience.
Enjoy ;)
