Free Will vs Destiny

Show Notes

It’s the ultimate bout, Destiny vs Free Will, the subject that’s had philosophers debating for centuries. 

Despite the centuries of debate, the subject still remains unresolved. Or does it?

The Vedic perspective is quite simple. In fact, there isn’t even a contest because Free Will and Destiny are actually both on the same team.
