Listen "Sacred Fire – The Flame of Transformation and Devotion"
Episode Synopsis
This episode explores fire as a universal symbol of transformation, purification, and divine presence. In Hinduism, the sacred fire Agni connects humans and gods, carrying prayers heavenward. Zoroastrianism venerates fire as a symbol of truth and purity. In Christianity, it represents the Holy Spirit and the light of faith, while in Judaism, it signifies divine guidance—from the burning bush to the eternal menorah flame. Islam views fire as both a gift and a reminder of divine power, with Sufi mystics embracing it as the fire of love that consumes ego. In Buddhism and Sikhism, fire rituals symbolize clarity, devotion, and unity. Indigenous cultures see fire as a living spirit—used in ceremonies for healing and remembrance. Through vivid stories—from a Himalayan monk tending an eternal flame to a woman lighting a candle in mourning—the episode shows that fire, like faith, both illuminates and transforms. It reminds us that within every flame lies life, memory, and divine connection.
