Mostly I'm posting this for the Hindus but I wanted to know what the Buddhists and Jains here think? I do not know much about Nirvana as according to Buddhism but I found it interesting to listen to right up until the boys began talking about the Hindu equivalent of moksha and mentioned only Krishna as the source of all. I have sent them an email gently correcting them of this folly!
The podcast isn't long, under 30 minutes, but it is definitely interesting, even if it raised my hackles towards the end by talking about how only those born into the brahmin caste can attain moksha (they were contradicting themselves here as they said Gandhi possibly attained moksha but he was not a brahmin!).
So, thoughts?
