What if rituals are more than just ceremony?
In part two of our discussion on rituals, our expert Ashok Mishra presents a compelling case that rituals function as a fundamental source of knowledge, transcending traditional reliance on reason and senses alone.
- Action as Knowledge: We analyze the argument that ritualistic action provides unique insight, moving beyond intellectual theory into physical engagement.
- The "Theater of Transformation": Explore how rituals serve as pivotal moments that redefine an individual’s standing—whether through personal milestones or societal roles.
