Abigail Perry and Nico Oscoff, Executive/Creative Producer of Good Day Film, discuss the instrumental impact Swami Vivekananda had on the yoga mindset in the eastern and western cultures, and how–in our very beings–we are free. 

Listen to this episode to learn about the amazing hero’s journey of Swami Vivekananda, an Indian Hindu monk and chief discipline of the 19th-century mystic, and how this yogi’s influence impacted and changed not only Nico’s life–but the union of the eastern and western cultures, including how he influenced, if not initiated, the Indian Independence movement. 

Embrace Nico’s wisdom and the great homage he pays spiritual masters like Vivekananda by sharing these important stories. Email Abigail at abigailkperry [AT] gmail [DOT] com to continue the conversation.
