Episodes
Death is inevitable, but this episode reframes it as a physical process—rooted in the brain, body, and cellular systems—and explains how fear grows from losing identity, the unknown, and the anticipation of pain. Drawing on neuroscience, near-death reports, cellular memory hints, and dying-brain activity, it shows how understanding physiology can soften terror.
Practical takeaways: better pain management, emotional resilience, and ...
Explore how the living body is an adaptive, self-regulating system that seeks balance—healing itself through homeostasis and a deep link to its environment. The episode connects modern biology with traditional wisdom to show why maintaining equilibrium is central to health.

Hello. My name is Anil Rajvanshi (https://nariphaltan.org/shortbio.pdf) and today I will talk about death and how to reduce fear of death.
Death is the most certain thing for any living entity and yet we know so little about it. It may come earlier or later in life but the inevitable always happens. Yet we carry out our actions and behave as if we are immortal and death does not enter our scheme of things. In a way that maybe a go...
I think all thinking Indians who love this great country have a vision for its future. Most think about it but very few write it down. Naturally that vision is dictated by their existing circumstances, their history and the forces acting on them at the time when they write the vision document.
Same is with me and what I have given in this podcast is a distillation of all my work and dreams that I have for India. I have written ...
Sleep and dream are still the two major mysteries of the brain. Since time immemorial mankind has been intrigued as to why we sleep and what is the nature of dreams.
Various theories exist about the sleep process. We spend almost one third of our life sleeping. There must be a good reason why nature makes us sleep for this much time. Now slowly but surely scientific investigations are unraveling this puzzle.

Death is the most certain thing for any living entity and yet we know so little about it. It may come earlier or later in life but the inevitable always happens. Yet we carry out our actions and behave as if we are immortal and death does not enter our scheme of things. In a way that maybe a good thing because the fear of death may not allow us to be bold enough to do lots of things in life. Nevertheless, if we understand death th...
