ACT RADIO - Hinduism & Compassion

Greg & Tom talk with philospher, activist, and author Lisa Kemmerer.  Kemmerer discusses the issues of compassion encountered within Hinduism, and how they differ from Western religions.  She also introduces us to the concept of Interpenetrability within Hinduism, which effectively blurs the distinction between gods and animals.  Many Hindu gods take on the form of animals. http://lisakemmerer.com  Aired Jan. 27, 2013.
