The father of the first atom bomb quoted an ancient Hindu scripture when he saw the mushroom cloud exploding over the New Mexico desert. His immortal quote "I am Become Death, destroyer of worlds," framed the dawning of the age we live in today. I recently saw the Chirstopher Nolan's film on Robert Oppenheimer and it got me wondering about the famous passage. It's not just a badass phrase, but a deep philosophical consideration about the very meaning of Duty. In this week's episode I talk with the Sanskrit scholar and warrior-poet Surendriya Rao about the Bhaagavad Gita and Oppenheimer's fateful decision to open up the world to nuclear warfare. Find out more about Surendriya Rao at his website: www.shiningdarkly.com.
