In this episode, Sanjay reflects on the ancient wisdom of the Nava Rasa — the nine essences of human emotion that shape art, storytelling, and life itself. Love, joy, sorrow, wonder, fear, anger, courage, disgust, and serenity — each rasa reveals a facet of what it means to be fully human.
Drawing a bridge across cultures, he connects this Indian aesthetic vision to the classical Greeks, who also saw drama and poetry as mirrors of the soul’s movements. What emerges is a timeless meditation: that across civilizations, emotions have been the language through which humanity has understood itself.
