Carter and teZa Lord discuss the spiritual concept of self versus others. This applies to social obligations, being kind and respectful, and in today's ideologically divisive world, letting the "other guy" have their say without judgment.

teZa and Carter, the cohosts of ZLORD, discuss the significance of this special day they're speaking on: the Hindu and Yoga-world auspicious day of Shivaratri.

Shivaratri is when repeating "the Name" Shiva bestows ble...

Another first on ZLORD podcast! Carter is interviewing (well, sort of) teZa, his co-host because she's just put up a special FREE treat for everyone.
