430. Living Authentically
Rashna Imhasly-Gandhy with Malini White
Speakers
Courage is not the beginning of self-knowledge. It is the constant condition of it.
Courage to Be You follows two people asking that question from very different lives. Amit and Najib are a gay couple navigating not only their relationship but the religious and social distance between them. Rajeshwari, Amit’s childhood friend, is quietly working to reclaim an identity fractured by early trauma. Their stories run parallel, but their questions are the same: what does it take to choose yourself, and what do you risk when you do?
Rashna Imhasly-Gandhy draws on Jungian psychology and chakra healing, offering the reader a framework for the same inner work her characters undertake. Their guide, in both cases, is a therapist. Their destination is their own.
Yasmeen Premji will introduce the session. Rashna’s presentation will be followed by a conversation between her and Malini White.
In this episode of BIC Talks, Rashna Imhasly-Gandhy will be in conversation with Malini White. This is an excerpt from a conversation that took place in the BIC premises in Mar 2026.

Speakers
Rashna Imhasly-Gandhy
Rashna Imhasly-Gandhy is a Jungian analyst and transpersonal psychologist who has spent four decades building a practice at the meeting point of Eastern wisdom traditions and Western depth psychology. Trained in Zürich, she works across India, Europe, and Mexico, leading workshops in Jungian dreamwork, family constellations, and archetypal exploration.
Her three books pursue the same questions through different mythological terrain. Eros Versus Kama — The Psychology of Love: Wisdom of Indian Mythology and Sita Rising: Discovering the Heroine Within draw on Indian mythology and Jungian theory to illuminate the architecture of love, identity, and feminine consciousness. Her latest, The Courage to Be You: Love, Identity, and Healing in a Changing India, brings those questions into urgent contemporary focus.
