In this episode Govind and Sarath talk about destiny and how it features in the sale pitches of astrologers, numerologists and palmists. They talk about how the fatalistic thinking of destiny in Indian society has roots in interpretation of mythological stories by religious preachers and take the story of Karna from the Mahabharata as an example. They also take comments and questions from callers and engage with one caller on genetics, heredity, reproduction, death and fate.
