Join us as we engage in a meaningful conversation with Dr. Jayant Bapat OAM and Mr. Makarand Bhagwat, both of whom are prominent Hindu priests dedicated to serving the community at various levels, including educational and governmental sectors. Dr. Jayant Bapat, who migrated to Melbourne in 1960, holds dual PhDs and is a respected researcher and author of numerous publications focused on Hindu deities. Mr. Makarand Bhagwat serves as the head of the Hindu Council of Australia in Victoria and is a recognized Hindu Civil Marriage Celebrant, Hindu Chaplaincy member, and representative on the Faith Community Council of Victoria. In this episode, we aim to scratch the surface of understanding how the Indian diaspora has evolved over the past 60 years in Australia. We explore the current needs of our community and what steps can be taken to address them moving forward. Our guests share their invaluable experiences and insights, shedding light on the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead for the Indian community in Australia. We invite you to watch and gain knowledge from their perspectives as they discuss their contributions to the Hindu community in Melbourne and reflect on the future of the Indian diaspora.
