Anjali Kumar went looking for God and ended up finding something else entirely. In an uplifting, funny talk about our shared humanity, she takes us on a spiritual pilgrimage to meet witches in New York, a shaman in Peru, an infamous “healer” in Brazil and others, sharing an important lesson: what binds us together is far stronger than what separates us, and our differences are not insurmountable.

U cannot find God but His Divine Healing Light in Johrei n Mahikari. On your way to find God u may encounter a number of earth-bound spirits. God is Light Energy which balance things up in the universe.

God can be realised and experienced like mother's love. No argument no logic required for it like mother's unconditional love. Mother Theresa said when God exist in our thought he will work in our hands and heaven will be created on earth. There are many relegion like many rivers but there is only one ocean

Kevin Thibbles says:

The answer is JESUS

The Senate says:

I would ask for evidence of god and meaning of life because my life has no meaning and i know i can't find love and happiness ever.

TOPMX PACH says:

Have you tried reading the a Bible with your heart ❤️ ???

God speaks you fluently with His word.

Try learning about God, reading St Luke, asking you who is Jesus. Maybe you’ll be surprised !..

God Bless!.

I am a subscriber on TED and at least for me, the contents on this channel are just amazing, reaching all kind subjects and the talks are always very interesting for those who have the pleasure to watch them…. In respect for the institution I have to share something with everyone here, something that is not about discredit or anything on that matters… Is just an Alert about how our world is complicated and we do have to be very careful in what we believe and yes, we have to judge specially everything related to religion and beliefs…
I am Brazilian and those facts are true and very serious about John of God, as it follows:
In late 2018 he was reported for sexual abuse by more than three hundred women who sought his help. On December 14, 2018, he was ordered to be held in custody by the Goiás court for sexual abuse of hundreds of women. On December 16, after being considered a fugitive since December 15, he surrendered to the police and was arrested. According to the Public Ministry, the total number of victims may exceed 330. In addition to sexual crimes, John of God was indicted for false ideology, witness corruption and coercion and illegal possession of firearms and ammunition. On December 19, 2019, he was sentenced to 19 years in prison. On March 30, 2020, the court granted house arrest due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
I am very sure, Ms. Anjali Kumar didn't know that by the time of her research and these facts are for sure from after the video was released…
Anyway her message is amazing and she delivered her message in the best possible… Great Ted Talk

Ranjith says:

The spiritual journey is inwards.

Vivek Goel says:

Then last journey
Go for Jehovah's witnesses.

Paul Driscoll says:

A Very moving message, and I totally get it. She is very beautiful and intelligent, and has a very good moral compass. All of which comes from looking past who the person is but what it is that makes us the same as human beings.

jagdish tripathi says:

Welcome to Sanatan dharma ..
What you perceive in as a god is beyond envisaging and not a matter to proximate.

Lenny Johnson says:

All this religious exploration and she never tried psychedelics. One DMT trip would've ended her search.
