Dr. Kamran Ahmed on Spirituality & Mental Health | Rising Pakistan | PTV News | 02-07-2026

In this episode of Rising Pakistan, hosts Shoaib and Sabeen are joined by Dr. Kamran Ahmed, a clinical psychologist with over three decades of experience and a PhD in South Asian Spirituality. He discusses his latest book "Goddess of the Indus," a novel set 3,500 years ago that explores the tension between indigenous spirituality and the arrival of Vedic religions. Dr. Kamran explains the difference between spirituality and religion — spirituality being about daily life, relationships, love, and being grounded in the world around us, while religion often separates the spiritual from the worldly. He emphasizes how our 9,000-year-old pluralistic heritage, where people of different faiths lived with mutual respect, is being lost. He calls for reconnecting with our traditions and teaching children to define their identity through love and tolerance rather than division. #PTVNews #Spirituality #GoddessOfTheIndus Visit our website: https://news.ptv.com.pk/ PTV News Official YouTube Channel.
