“Once they test the Audio content they will themselves see the change in their lives”: Sri Ananda Tirtha Das

Mumbai: In an era marked by rapid technological advancements and mounting pressures, today’s youth are seeking authentic ways to find inner peace, purpose, and connection.

‘Transcend’ ISKCON’s E-Library Mobile App, an integrated platform that offers a transformative digital experience of ISKCON’s rich spiritual literature while exploring the profound impact of social media on the spirituality of today’s youth.

Bhaktivedanta Book COO & trustee Sri Ananda Tirtha Das has been at the forefront of offering pragmatic spirituality, showing young individuals how to integrate timeless wisdom into their daily lives.

Indiantelevision.com caught up with Dasa, to explore a bit on this topic, and also to know on how spirituality is necessary for today’s youth.

Edited excerpts

On the primary purpose of the Transcend mobile app developed by ISKCON and types of content are available in the app

Today people don’t have the time to read. Transcend App has 8000 hours of spiritual audio content curated with simple practical steps for better understanding. This will help them gain insights into higher laws governing our lives and then bring in transformation in their understanding of life’s priorities. It will bring them closer to the Divine seated in all our hearts. This will help them overcome depression and enable them to lead life with exuberance rather than dragging through it.

On aiming to empower spiritual seekers through social media

Since most people are linked with SM, our presence in that platform will give them access to timeless wisdom that they can use for their personal transformation. It’s always about choice. One can use SM for wasting time or now they have an opportunity to understand deep spiritual knowledge that will make them face lives challenges and live a content life.

On digital e-books helping the youth to

understand spirituality due to lack of attention span

To address this very issue we have Audio books option. They can convert their commute time, cooking time etc into a transformational one. Faith builds on faith. Once they test the Audio content they will themselves see the change in their lives. This will enable them to dive deeper and set their priorities in life.

Srila Prabhupada has curated the Vedic text into simple practical steps that one can implement easily into their lives and this content is now made available through beautiful rendition in audio format.

On today’s youth not indulging much into spirituality

Well I see a lot of people actually turning to spirituality. With present chaos and pressure in the society I see many youth seeking to find real meaning in their lives. You see many young professionals leaving lucrative jobs and doing farming in remote villages. Many don’t know where to go. That is why we are now giving direct access to authentic spiritual content through a format that they are already adapted to which is Audio books.

Zeenat Aman gives modern dating crash course on Tinder’s Swipe Ride

Mumbai: Tinder, the world’s most popular app for meeting new people, is back with an all new episode of Swipe Ride, a show that celebrates uninhibited, meaningful conversations about what Indian women want from their dating lives, with Zeenat Aman as the surprise celebrity guest! Popular social media content creator and actor, Kusha Kapila, takes the driver’s seat once again to pick up Tinder users to meet their dates. The episode premiered on Friday, 15 September, 2023 on Tinder’s Youtube channel and stream exclusively on JioCinema.

Veteran actress and eternal beauty Zeenat Aman shared her advice for young women on the latest episode of Tinder’s Swipe Ride, “Dating is an incredibly personal journey, and you must navigate it on your terms. As women, we are subjected to so many pressures in life, but here’s what I’ve learnt: go with the flow, pursue your passions, experiment, cherish your relationships, and build a life that fills your soul. Then, when love comes along, it’ll simply enhance the beauty of your existence, not define it. This episode of Tinder’s Swipe Ride is a reminder for all women to talk openly, express your desires and share your hopes and dreams. Finding true chemistry is rare, and when you do, seize it with both hands!”

During the conversation, Zeenat talks about how dating has transformed into a healthier landscape for the younger generation today with conversations around mental health, therapy and depression no longer being taboo. This sentiment resonates with 43 per cent women daters in India who believe dating is healthier (more honest, more open, with a focus on prioritising mental health) for 18-25 year olds today than it was before.* The trio also chat about how dating apps like Tinder offer a vast pool of choices for Gen Z today. Unlike the pre-Tinder era when dating was limited to introductions through parents’ friends, dating apps enable choice and agency. This holds true for 57 per cent young women daters in India who agree that dating apps allow them to meet people they would otherwise never have met – even those outside their social circle opening them up to a world of endless possibilities.*

“Swipe Ride celebrates the diverse perspectives of young Indian women and their dating journeys in a relatable context. At Tinder, our focus has always been to encourage inclusivity, autonomy, and create a safe, non-judgmental space where women are free to choose, discover and interact with like-minded people, and be their most authentic, comfortable self – this show is an extension of that IRL.” said Tinder India marketing director Anukool Kumar.

To empower young women in India to navigate the world of online dating and prioritise their wellbeing, Tinder has recently launched Tinder Love and Care (TLC), a dating wellness guide developed in collaboration with That Sassy Thing. TLC features advice and insights from 15 prominent female experts and queer voices in India, covering a range of topics such as sexual health, intimacy, and fostering honest conversations with dates, all while prioritising self-care.

Co-created with film director Debbie Rao along with popular writer Supriya Joshi, Swipe Ride series is a product of the coming together of these women who like to call their own shots whether it’s in their careers, or their dating lives.

*A study of 1000, 18-25 year old dating singles pan-India between April – May 2023 conducted by OnePoll on behalf of Tinder.
