David Boyle's Ashram Antics: Humor and Truth in India's Spiritual Scene

Whenever whiteys find a guru, they end up being perverts. That's how it works.
Ever wondered what happens when a comedian visits an ashram? David Boyle's trip to Auroville, India, is nothing short of a rollercoaster. In this episode titled 'Day 235 - Blowies for Carrots', Boyle serves up his trademark humor and unfiltered honesty as he navigates the quirky world of ashram life. Picture a golden orb, a sea of white foreign followers, and a hefty dose of skepticism—Boyle leaves no stone unturned.
He hilariously questions the authenticity of the spiritual movement and pokes fun at the sometimes absurd practices he encounters. But it's not all laughs; Boyle also sheds light on the harsh realities of poverty in India and warns about the dangers of blindly following gurus. This episode is perfect for anyone curious about the less glamorous side of spiritual retreats, all delivered with Boyle's sharp wit and candid reflections.
