A monk’s guide to life | Pandit Dasa
Pandit Dasa immigrated from India with his family when he was just a child. With no money in their pockets, Pandit witnessed firsthand the importance of working hard. Over the years, Pandit would learn to define his own life based on those same experiences. After 15 years as a monk in a monastery in India and then New York City, Pandit seeks to share his wealth of knowledge on mental health, forgiveness, jealousy, and success. He now shares his wisdom with college students but didn’t hesitate to share his own life experience with Jared. Listen on for the enriching conversation.
