The Forgotten Religion Of Tibet | Bon Religion existed before Hinduism? | S.S Pangtey Ex-IAS (2026)

The Forgotten Religion Of Tibet- S.S Pangtey Bon Religion is often described as one of the oldest spiritual systems of the Himalayan region, practiced long before organised Hinduism and Buddhism. In this in-depth podcast, we explore the forgotten spiritual, cultural, and philosophical roots of Uttarakhand, focusing on Bon Religion, Tantra, nature worship, dev parampara, Nanda Devi traditions, Jagar, and Himalayan belief systems. This conversation looks at how early mountain communities understood fear, survival, nature, energy, and protection, how Tantra evolved as a system of balance, and how many Bon practices continue today — even after cultural transitions into Sanatan traditions. ----------- Uttarakhand ke culture aur history mein interest hai?
