Ghosts in Sanatan vs. Monotheism: Author Amish Explains 'Bhoota Aradhane'

Bests-selling author Amish Tripathi explains the ancient tradition of Bhoota (spirit) worship in Karnataka and how it reflects the deeply inclusive nature of Sanatan Dharma. Unlike Abrahamic religions, where ghosts are often seen as evil or frightening, Sanatan doesn’t fear the Bhoota. Instead, it acknowledges that some Bhootas can even benefit humans—a belief rooted in respect for all forms of consciousness.
