The Krishna Das Pilgrim Heart Hour features Krishna Das’ no-nonsense take on everyday struggles for finding balance on the spiritual path. Through the honesty, humility and humor of his own personal experiences, he points to the possibility of navigating life’s trials with a true inner yearning for truth. His own practice of kirtan or chant is the well stone of his ability to share from his spiritual heart. As KD says, “Love is a disease - we catch it from those who have it.”

1 1599: Exiting the Path of Emptiness: A Bhakti Yoga Take on Desire & Liberation 55:29
55:29 Na później Na później Listy Polub Polubione55:29
Na później Na później Listy Polub PolubioneAncient yoga texts call it sama-darshana—equal vision. It’s the ability to see the soul in every being, regardless of their body, background, or even behavior. And according to the sages, it’s not just a lofty idea—it’s the very foundation of a life well-lived. Here’s the twist: it’s not just the moral thing to do—it’s the key to happiness, peace of mind, and, ultimately, a graceful exit from this world. In contrast, the pursuit of material fulfillment becomes a path of emptiness. Listen in as Raghunath and Kaustubha reflect on the yogi’s mindset: to live in a way that places no one else in difficulty, and to love in a way that clears the heart of all fear and resentment. Key Highlights: • Sama-darshana—the yogic practice of seeing beyond externals • Why a life of non-harm and kindness clears the path to liberation • “My name is King Yayati, and I’m a sex addict.” • How material desire drives us to harm even those we love • How spiritual vision helps us let go—without fear or bitterness • And how chasing sense gratification will make a goat out of us. 🐐 (and not the good kind of GOAT) This episode is a call to shift how we see the world—and how we live in it. 🎧 Listen now and join the global conversation on living with deeper vision. #EqualVision #BhaktiYoga #Samadarshana #SrimadBhagavatam #LettingGo #YogaWisdom #WisdomOfTheSages SB 9.19.12-15 ********************************************************************* LOVE THE PODCAST?

Na później Na później Listy Polub PolubionePolitics shift, bodies age, relationships break—we see the surface, the temporary illusion. Yogis look deeper to see the eternal reality behind it all. In this episode, Raghunath and Kaustubha explore how sacred texts—the Bhagavad Gītā, Śrīmad Bhāgavatam, the Rig Veda, and the New Testament—urge us to fix our vision on the eternal. From pearls resting on a hidden thread to the saints’ constant gaze toward the divine, these traditions all point to the same truth: what’s real can’t always be seen with the eyes - so look deeper though the eyes of knowledge. Key Highlights: • Pearls and clouds—what the sages say about what really holds life together • The world is a stereogram - keep staring into it and eventually the vision pops • Kaustubha’s near bike-lane road rage (he almost lost it.) • How bhakti can awaken even in a materially entangled life (yes, there’s hope for all of us) 🔔 Subscribe for daily episodes and timeless inspiration on the path of bhakti yoga. #BhaktiYoga #YogaPhilosophy #SrimadBhagavatam #BhagavadGita #RigVeda #StPaul #SpiritualVision #SeeTheUnseen SB 9.18.47-51 ********************************************************************* LOVE THE PODCAST?

59:38 Na później Na później Listy Polub Polubione59:38
Na później Na później Listy Polub PolubioneWith humor, vulnerability, and sharp philosophical insight, Raghunath and Kaustubha unpack the gritty reality of spiritual growth: that it sometimes begins with a period of loss, confusion, or even melancholy—but on the other side is joy, clarity, and freedom. This Q & A episode tackles big, relatable questions from listeners on the spiritual path: • How do I live a life of dharma—seeing the good in everyone—without letting people take advantage of me or drain my energy? • How do I practice detachment without becoming emotionally distant from the people I love? • Does devotion to Krishna mean not exploring other spiritual traditions? Discover how the simple mantra “Adjust. Tolerate. Focus.” can become a compass when life feels chaotic and the heart is pulled in too many directions. Key Highlights: • Adjusting your circumstances vs. tolerating them—and how to know which to do • Why Krishna’s blessings can feel like lemon in milk—and why that’s a good thing • The difference between real detachment and just shutting down emotionally • A perspective-shifting metaphor about butter that’ll stick with you forever • Why kirtan and philosophy together are like spiritual ayahuasca (minus the vomiting) Whether you’re navigating toxic coworkers or simply trying to love your family without losing yourself, this episode will give you both tools and comfort for the inner work that really matters. 🎧 Listen now and join thousands on the transformative path of bhakti. 🌟 Subscribe for daily wisdom and spiritual guidance with Raghunath & Kaustubha. #BhaktiYoga #SpiritualGrowth #DetachmentWithLove #KrishnaConsciousness #WisdomOfTheSages #SrimadBhagavatam #KirtanAndPhilosophy #LetGoAndLetKrishna #AdjustTolerateFocus ********************************************************************* LOVE THE PODCAST?

Na później Na później Listy Polub PolubioneRaghunath and Kaustubha dive into the comical yet piercingly honest downfall of King Yayāti and explore how the ancient Vedic culture didn’t just shame desire—it organized it, regulated it, and ultimately helped one transcended it. Drawing from the Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam, we uncover how real evolution begins not by denying our lower nature, but by accepting the guidance of wisdom tradition that helps us see through it. Key Highlights: • Why the world makes you foolish when you chase desire The brilliance of varṇāśrama: not a box, but a ladder Why trying to be Krishna never works • Young Puru’s ultimate mic drop moment of detachment and devotion • Plus: How a hardcore cookbook made its way onto the show (Walk-On Wednesday… on a Friday) • And, Raghunath’s high school brawl over a mustached senior (seriously) 🎧 Listen in and laugh your way through lust, curses, wisdom, and the yogic path of real freedom. 🌟 Subscribe for daily spiritual insights, and join thousands exploring bhakti-yoga through sacred texts and honest conversation. #SrimadBhagavatam #BhaktiYoga #KingYayati #SpiritualGrowth #DesireAndDetachment #WisdomOfTheSages #VedicWisdom #YogicLife SB 9.18.30-47 Find Laura Lee Flanagan's cookbook, Hardcore Vegetarian at https://a.co/d/8WgdWcn ********************************************************************* LOVE THE PODCAST?

Na później Na później Listy Polub PolubioneGatorade-stained beard? Check. All-night emergency room visit? Check. Spiritual wake-up call in aisle 12? Double check. But behind Raghunath’s dizzy spell and collapse on the floor of Home Depot lies a far more universal theme: our desperate urge to avoid silence, stillness, and the terrifying weight of our own inner emptiness. Drawing from Blaise Pascal’s haunting insight—that “all of humanity’s problems stem from man’s inability to sit quietly in a room alone”—Raghunath and Kaustubha explore how distraction and diversion keep us from doing the inner work that leads to peace, purpose, and awakening. Also: a peaceful garden walk devolves into a warrior princess throw-down. Key Highlights: • Is that spiritual ecstasy… or dangerously low blood sugar? • Why we flee silence—and how it sabotages our spiritual evolution • Pascal meets the Bhāgavatam: diversion as the disease of our age • When status, envy, and petty revenge collide—ancient wisdom, high-school drama • Level up before the universe has to shove you down 🎧 Listen now and reflect on what’s really keeping you from peace—before your next wake-up call comes in the plumbing aisle. #BhaktiYoga #SpiritualAwakening #WisdomOfTheSages #SrimadBhagavatam #ExistentialCrisis #BlaisePascal #HomeDepotLilas #StillnessAndSilence #JapaNotNetflix SB 9.18.1-29 ********************************************************************* LOVE THE PODCAST?

Na później Na później Listy Polub PolubioneWhen something looks so promising—so beautiful, so exciting—you think, this has to be it… but in the end, it leaves you empty. That’s what it means to live in the shadows - the imitations we chase: reflections that mimic the real thing, but have no substance. In this episode, Raghunath and Kaustubha conclude the wild and painfully relatable story of King Purūravā and Urvaśī from the Śrīmad Bhāgavatam, and share a bit about their own heartbreaks too. From noble warrior to emotional wreck, Purūravā’s obsession leads him to whimper before goddesses, trying to win back a woman who ghosted him in the most cosmic way. Key Highlights: • Reflections, shadows, and AI girlfriends: welcome to Purūravā’s downward spiral • When spiritual practice becomes just another form of escapism • Kaustubha, Raghunath, and Mara share their heartbreak stories 💔 • Is Raghu Mara’s rebound? • Material solutions won’t cure our material heartbreak • The pleasure codes come preloaded with pain Tune in for ancient wisdom, modern neurosis, and a whole lot of spiritual therapy.

Na później Na później Listy Polub PolubioneWhen the object of our desire becomes the center of our universe, and our dignity becomes the cost of the chase. In this brutally honest and strangely hilarious episode, Raghunath and Kaustubha dissect the story of King Pururava and Urvashi—a psychological case study from the Śrīmad Bhāgavatam that shows what happens when infatuation clouds the intelligence and the fantasy of love eclipses reality. Key Highlights: • “Desire is never far from despair” • When romance becomes a shortcut to self-worth, things get weird… fast. • Toxic masculinity? For sure. But let’s talk toxic femininity too. • The ancient Vedas meet Youth of Today lyrics and Bob Dylan—because of course they do. • “Romance keeps us in Maya”—and other unsexy truths we all need to hear • And yes, Raghunath actually has a “house axe” for intruders. Don’t ask. This episode hits the theme head-on: that heartbreak, that confusion, that desperation we feel when we lose ourselves in the fantasy of love—and how the Bhakti path calls us to something real. 🎧 Subscribe for daily wisdom rooted in timeless texts, and walk the path of Bhakti with clarity (and a little comedy). #HeartbreakAndHumility #VedicPsychology #SrimadBhagavatam #BhaktiWisdom #IllusionOfLove #DesireVsDiscernment #WisdomOfTheSages SB 9.14.17-38 ********************************************************************* LOVE THE PODCAST?

59:22 Na później Na później Listy Polub Polubione59:22
Na później Na później Listy Polub PolubioneNot all sorrow is a step backwards—sometimes, it’s the signal that real growth has begun. In this powerful Q & A episode of Wisdom of the Sages, Raghunath and Kaustubha dive deep into what one listener calls “the sorrow of losing joy in the material world.” What unfolds is a raw, insightful conversation on threshold sorrow—the strange pain of shedding old pleasures that no longer satisfy, and crossing into the unknown terrain of spiritual depth. 🎧 All Questions Answered in this Episode: • Is it normal to feel sadness when losing taste for material pleasures? • How to understand sattva guna (the mode of goodness)? • Were Lord Rāma’s exiled sons bereft of His loving affection? • How do I know if I’m doing what God intends for me to do in life? From the bittersweet poetry of spiritual surrender to the mystery of divine separation, Raghunath and Kaustubha unpack what it means when Krishna starts cleaning out the clutter of your heart. Sometimes, enlightenment feels like heartbreak. But there’s beauty in the break. Key Highlights: • Why “threshold sorrow” is a sign of real progress on the bhakti path • What happens when you try to relive your old joys and it just tastes like… Carvel? • Poetry can capture the bittersweet taste of spiritual growth • Why Luv and Kush weren’t spiritually shortchanged—even if their dad was Lord Rāma and they were raised by a sage in the woods • The surprising power of sattva (goodness) as more than just “calm energy” • God’s will, your purpose, and the secret of finding clarity in a confusing world 🔔 Subscribe for more daily drops of yoga wisdom and truth bombs from the bhakti tradition. 🎙️ Listen now and let the old self die—so something better can be born. #BhaktiYoga #ThresholdSorrow #SpiritualAwakening #LettingGo #KrishnaConsciousness #WisdomOfTheSages #BhagavadGita #SitaRam #VedicWisdom #ThreeGunas #ModeOfGoodness #BhaktiTransformation #EgoDeath #LoveAndSeparation ********************************************************************* LOVE THE PODCAST?

They unpack a verse that flips the spiritual script: liberation doesn’t require a cave—it requires clarity. With vegan cheesecake hangovers, Tom Sawyer tricks, and a dose of Shakespearean angst, this episode reveals how kings lived as yogis—and how your own messy, modern life can become sacred ground for spiritual evolution. Key Highlights: • “There is nothing either good or bad, but thinking makes it so.” — Hamlet (and basically the Bhāgavatam too) • Why your mind is a meaning-making machine—and how that distorts reality • Eastern philosophy says good and bad are illusions—here’s what that really means • The Bhagavad-gītā’s bold message: you can transcend duality without renouncing your responsibilities • How tolerance is the first quality of a true sadhu or yogi • Why red isn’t good, blue isn’t bad, and Denmark is just a mindset 🎧 Tune in, subscribe, and share the love. #BhagavadGita #SrimadBhagavatam #BhaktiYoga #Hamlet #NonDuality #MeaningMakingMachine #SpiritualWisdom #WisdomOfTheSages SB 9.13.27 ********************************************************************* LOVE THE PODCAST?

But this isn’t just some mythic utopia. It’s a blueprint. Key Highlights: * Simone Weil’s insight: “To be rooted is perhaps the most important and least recognized need of the human soul.” * What Ayodhya, Delhi and the Cross Bronx Expressway tell us about spiritual disconnection * The loop of degradation—and how to break it * Lessons from Christian cathedrals, Hindu temples 🎧 Tune in now and rediscover what society looks like when it’s built around the sacred root. #Bhagavatam #UrbanSpirituality #Ayodhya #DivineCenteredLife #BhaktiYoga #SpiritualArchitecture #SimoneWeil #WisdomOfTheSages #SacredCityDesign ********************************************************************* LOVE THE PODCAST?

In this power-packed episode, Raghunath and Kaustubha discuss one of Bhakti-yoga’s most liberating teachings: the more we hear about the life and character of Lord Rāma, the more the disease of envy is cleansed from our hearts. This is a real look at the subtle ways hostility creeps into even spiritual communities… and how to root it out before it festers into full-blown inner plague. Key Highlights: * “No hostility in the heart of a yogi”—what this really means and why it’s non-negotiable * The mind always finds a way to rationalize animosity (and what to do about it) * The ‘hot coal’ analogy that might change how you handle resentment forever * Sauerkraut, ego death, and learning to see others through Rāma’s eyes * Why spiritual life means no selective love — even for that one person Drop the hostility.

Na później Na później Listy Polub PolubioneIn our existence in this world, we carry the burdens of duty, judgment, and anger—and then we project them onto God. But reality? He’s just playing His flute, dancing, and inviting us back into a life of divine play (lila). In today’s Wisdom of the Sages, Raghunath and Kaustubha reveal a revolutionary truth rooted in the Upanishads, the Vedānta Sūtra, and the Śrīmad Bhāgavatam: the Absolute Truth isn’t weighed down by judgment or duty—the Absolute’s only “business” is joyful līlā, or divine play. So why all the suffering and conflict in this world? We break down why Advaita Vedanta struggles to answer this—and how Bhakti Vedanta offers a beautiful, clear vision: the spiritual world is pure play, and the material world exists to help us remember how to “play nice” again. Key Highlights: * Why Ram, even when fighting Ravana, was just playing with His friends (yes, the monkeys 🐒). * How the real nature of God isn’t the cosmic judge—but the cosmic dancer and lover. * Why suffering doesn’t contradict divine play—it points us back to love. * Vedānta’s ultimate secret: Creation exists solely for the joyful exchange of love. * Is my irritable bowel syndrome really divine play? * The Bhakti Vedanta advantage: a coherent, heart-transforming vision of the Absolute.

In today’s episode, Raghunath and Kaustubha examine the profound teachings behind Lord Ram’s separation from Sita, explore why material “love” is often the cause of fear, and reveal how the illusory love relationships of this world can be aligned with the spiritual reality. Forget the Hollywood endings—the Vedic sages offer a powerful upgrade in understanding the ways of love. Key Highlights: * Ram’s heartbreak: a cosmic love story * In union, the Beloved is seen in one place; in separation… everywhere. * Why material “love” comes with a side of fear * The oneness and the duality of the spiritual realm * You don’t need a “you complete me” moment… you need a Supersoulmate. ✨ Jump into a discussion where ancient wisdom meets everyday neuroses — and discover why true love means learning to be blissful, even when life kicks you right in the shins. 🎧 Tune in now! #BhaktiWisdom #RamayanaRevealed #YogaOfSeparation #SpiritualHeartbreak #WisdomOfTheSagesPodcast ********************************************************************* LOVE THE PODCAST?

In this episode of Wisdom of the Sages, Raghunath and Kaustubha dive into the extraordinary standard set by Lord Ramachandra, whose rule began not with conquest but with renunciation. The conversation also takes a deeper look at the controversial episode of Sita’s banishment though the eyes of the sages (as opposed to the lens of ones’s own painful divorce). When seen with spiritual clarity, the pain of separation transforms into an expression of divine love, where Ram and Sita’s apparent distance reveals the depth of their unbreakable connection. Key Highlights: * How Ram’s leadership flips modern politics on its head * Sages with melted hearts receive the supreme gift - inner illumination * Sita’s banishment—and why comparing it to your messy breakup doesn’t quite work * What Jay Shetty, and Douglas Adams and Socrates have to do with karma yoga * Abraham Lincolns touching letter about losing a loved one * Bhakti as the “Platinum Package” of yoga paths (yes, karma and jñāna are included) * How Sita Sings the Blues delights, but disappoints 🎧 Tune in for sacred stories, sharp insight, and plenty of laughs. 🌟 Subscribe and join the global bhakti movement. #LordRam #SpiritualLeadership #BhaktiYoga #SitaAndRam #KarmaYoga #WisdomOfTheSages #Ramayana #DharmaAndDetachment #PlatinumBhaktiBundle #SrimadBhagavatam ********************************************************************* LOVE THE PODCAST?

Na później Na później Listy Polub PolubioneThink a better system will fix everything? In this episode, Raghunath and Kaustubha encourage us to think again by exploring the idea that until we transform the mind and purify the heart, no political structure will truly work. We chase reforms, write new laws, and elect new leaders, but if we’re not addressing the root within, the same problems resurface. Different system, same chaos. Drawing wisdom from Plato, Bhaktivedanta Swami, and Radhanath Swami, we explore how inner clarity is the foundation of any truly functional society. Also: what does Lord Rama’s return to Ayodhya—and his eventual heartbreaking separation from Sita—teach us about the deepest currents of love? Key Highlights: * “The city is what it is because the citizens are what they are.” —Plato * Why policy without purification is just window dressing * What Radhanath Swami told a government official about cleaning rivers * Love in separation: the most esoteric (and confusing) part of bhakti * A tiny chicken, a brutal pecking order, and the quest for a tribe 🐔 * Prabhupāda’s radical idea: train hearts, not just professionals * The river of love flows between two banks: union and separation This episode is part philosophy, part Ramayana, part barnyard tale—but all bhakti. 🎧 Tune in, subscribe, and share if you’re ready to stop treating symptoms and start addressing the root. #FixTheHeartFixTheWorld #BhaktiYoga #SpiritualSociety #PlatoToPrabhupada #LoveInSeparation #WisdomOfTheSages #BhaktivinodaThakura #RadhanathSwami ********************************************************************* LOVE THE PODCAST?

In this powerful episode, we hear from our longtime friend Yasso who, after forty years of devotion, is now facing terminal illness with stunning clarity and peace. What makes this conversation especially moving is how Yasso’s fearless, attitude of gratitude so closely mirrors the timeless wisdom of Śrīmad Bhāgavatam, where the dying King Parīkṣit embraces his final days with devotion, humility, and total absorption in the divine. Also in this episode: the epic homecoming of Lord Ram and the tear-jerking reunion with his brother Bharat, whose 14 years of radical simplicity (cow urine barley, anyone?) reflect the deepest brotherly devotion—zero envy, all love. And we also explore how devotional art can lift consciousness, using a vivid verse from the Śrīmad Bhāgavatam as our canvas. This one goes deep—real life, real death, and real bhakti. Key Highlights: * A rare window into how a bhakti yogi prepares to leave this world * Lord Ram returns to Ayodhya—no one has ever waved a chadar with more love * No envy, no ego—just love: the bond between Ram and Bharat * Why Krishna art > overpriced splatter art * Chant Hare Krishna and don’t criticize.

53:54 Na później Na później Listy Polub Polubione53:54
Na później Na później Listy Polub PolubioneHave you ever wondered whether the modern narrative of empowerment is missing something essential? We live in a world where empowerment is often defined as the independent freedom to do as we please. But in this thought-provoking episode, Raghunath and Kaustubha explore a radically different idea—drawn from the bhakti-yoga tradition—that deep commitment can be a source of supernatural strength. Sītā, whose unwavering integrity and loyalty ultimately crushed the might of Ravana, is more than a mythological figure—she’s a spiritual archetype. This episode challenges the assumption that power comes from autonomy, and offers a vision of strength rooted in devotion, integrity, and focus. Whether it’s to a person, a principle, or the Divine, commitment—according to the Bhakti tradition—isn’t weakness. It’s where real empowerment begins. Key Highlights: * The Bhagavatam doesn’t just expose Ravana—it holds up a mirror to our modern cravings * Why unexamined desire can lead to destruction—even when you “have it all” * “Attractive, but not what I need”—the mantra that builds inner strength * The supernatural force of Sītā’s chastity and the deeper meaning of loyalty * A masculine path to power that isn’t about suppression, but sacred focus * Speaking truth to power—without hostility or ego * Raghu & Kaustubha imagine what it would it be like seeing Hanuman flying in the first class cabin 🌟 Subscribe for daily wisdom and join thousands on the transformative path of bhakti.

In this episode, Raghunath and Kaustubha explore one of the most profound contrasts in the epic: how Ravana and Hanuman each approach Sita. What unfolds is not just mythological drama—it’s a powerful spiritual teaching. Sita is the personification of good fortune herself. In bhakti wisdom, how we approach her—whether with reverence and devotion or with a mood of exploitation—determines the auspiciousness or inauspiciousness that flows though our lives. This isn’t just about Sita and Ravana. It’s about all of us and the world around us. And yes, the Pope gets a shout-out. So do monkeys with torches. Key Highlights: * Ravana, Hanuman, and the spiritual do’s and don’ts of divine energy * Why auspiciousness isn’t random—it’s relational * The Pope, Easter, and holy humility * Monkeys vs. modern weapons: Why the jungle army wins * The arc of the moral universe is long—but don’t worry, zoom out * Why Sita’s curse beat Ravana’s black magic 🎧 Tune in for timeless wisdom, epic storytelling, and spiritual depth—with just enough monkey mischief to keep it fun. 📿 Subscribe and join the daily pilgrimage of the heart. #BhaktiWisdom #GoddessOfFortune #RamayanaTruths #JusticeAndKarma #SrimadBhagavatam #WisdomOfTheSages #SpiritualTransformation #HanumanPower ********************************************************************* LOVE THE PODCAST?

Na później Na później Listy Polub PolubioneIs trying to understand spiritual truth a futile task? Is it all beyond words and beyond the logical understanding of the human mind? In this Q&A episode of Wisdom of the Sages, Kaustubha Das, with guest host Kishori Gopi, takes on one of the deepest questions of spiritual life—whether the ultimate reality can be known, described, or even spoken of. Drawing from the ancient dialectic between Advaita Vedanta and Bhakti Vedanta, they explore how the Absolute is perceived across different schools of Indian philosophy, and whether Krishna’s teachings are meant to be understood—or simply surrendered to. Then, things get bold and existential: If we’re not the body or the mind… why not just commit suicide? This intense question opens the door to a profound discussion on karma, the soul’s journey, and why trying to “opt out” is ill advised. Morgan Freeman shows up. So does Groundhog Day. Somehow it all makes sense. Key Highlights * The Bhakti perspective: Krishna can be understood—and described—in rich detail * How Shankara’s “neti neti” approach led to the idea of the indescribable Absolute * Karma as a cosmic reformatory system * Why suicide doesn’t break the cycle—just moves it like a whack-a-mole * What Newton might say about karma (and why we’re not totally convinced) * “They muddy the waters to make them seem deep.” — Nietzsche, and also Kaustubha 🔥 🌟 Subscribe for daily inspiration and join a global community exploring life’s most important questions through the lens of ancient yoga wisdom. 🎧 Listen now.

From philosophical insight to real-life stories, they reveal how detachment isn’t cold or passive—it’s the soul’s doorway to freedom. Key Highlights: * “Train yourself to let go of everything you fear to lose.” — Yoda (Bhakti approves.) * Why loss is not punishment—but a spiritual upgrade in disguise. * Chest-waxing and ego-stripping: a painful but necessary metaphor for spiritual growth. * The man who thought his wealth could buy him a free pass at the barber shop—and what that reveals about false identity. * What it means to live as if nothing is yours, and love as if everything is. * The yogi’s mindset: clarity in chaos, faith in the face of death. 🎧 Tune in now and discover how the Bhakti tradition reframes loss as grace, grief as growth, and endings as the beginning of true connection. #LettingGo #FearOfLoss #BhaktiYoga #SpiritualTransformation #SrimadBhagavatam #EgoToEternity #YogaHumor #WisdomOfTheSages #BarberShopEgo #ChestWaxMetaphors ********************************************************************* LOVE THE PODCAST?

Na później Na później Listy Polub PolubioneEvery life holds a hidden epic. In this stirring episode, Raghunath and Kaustubha unlock the timeless teachings of the Ramayana and the Śrīmad Bhāgavatam to reveal how Lord Ram’s divine story is far more than mythology—it’s a living guide for our own transformation. Alongside the insights of Joseph Campbell’s hero’s journey, the sages explore what it truly means to conquer inner demons and rise to the occasion of your own sacred adventure. But this episode goes deeper than just inspiration. It offers a bold clarification of what līlā truly is—and what it’s not. It’s a common spiritual misstep to view the pain, confusion, and trauma of material life as brahman engaged in “divine play,” mistaking our suffering for the līlā of the Supreme. Raghunath and Kaustubha draw a clear line: true līlā is not the fractured experience of conditioned life, but the ecstatic, conscious, and love-saturated interactions of Krishna with His eternal energies—Ram and Sita, Radha and Krishna, Lakshman, Hanuman, and the gopīs, etc. To conflate the two is to miss the sweetness of bhakti, to remain trapped in illusion, and to miss the opportunity to enter into eternal līlā—the highest potential of the self. Key Highlights: * Why the Ramayana is more than story—it’s a training ground for the soul * The crucial difference between true līlā and conditioned suffering * Why Lord Ram left without resentment—and how we can too * How to starve the inner Ravana and awaken your inner Hanuman * What it really means to return from the forest with “boons” for the world Join us and rediscover your highest potential—not by pretending to be the hero, but by walking the sacred path of one who’s learning how to love. 🌟 Subscribe and walk the hero’s path with us, through ancient wisdom, daily insights, and the transformative power of bhakti. 🎧 Tune in now! #Ramayana #BhaktiYoga #HerosJourney #KrishnaLila #Vedanta #InnerDemons #WisdomOfTheSages #SpiritualPodcast #TrueLila #JosephCampbell #LordRam #SitaRam #SrimadBhagavatam SB 9.10.1-7 ********************************************************************* LOVE THE PODCAST?

1:00:07 Na później Na później Listy Polub Polubione1:00:07
Na później Na później Listy Polub PolubioneCan you practice deep spiritual life without walking away from your worldly responsibilities? Or is renunciation—of family, career, and social ties—a necessary cost of devotion? In this essential Q&A edition of Wisdom of the Sages, Raghunath and Kaustubha address one of the most pressing questions for modern spiritual seekers: can the path of bhakti be lived fully without uprooting your life? What unfolds is a powerful conversation about clarity, compassion, and the dangers of spiritual misunderstanding. This episode dives into three thought-provoking questions: • Is bhakti really free from the strict renunciations of other yogic paths—or is that just a myth? • How do we trust Krishna’s plan without falling into inertia or passivity? • How should we respond to skepticism around the bhakti tradition, especially in light of scandal and misrepresentation? Key Highlights: • Why external renunciation is not the essence of bhakti—and how reorienting our vision of family, work, and social life is often the real path forward. • The subtle but vital difference between walking away from the world and seeing it through a new lens of service. • What it truly means to “accept what’s favorable and reject what’s unfavorable” for spiritual growth. • How to stay steady in your practice even when exposed to harmful or fanatical representations of bhakti. • Why spiritual life is about progress, not perfection—and how to build a path that is sustainable, sincere, and real. 🎧 Tune in now for a conversation that redefines what it means to be spiritual in the real world. 🌍 Join the bhakti movement: #BhaktiYoga #SpiritualProgress #WisdomOfTheSages #YogaInModernLife #BhaktiWithoutRenunciation #KrishnaConsciousness #SpiritualBurnout #SrimadBhagavatam #BhagavadGita #ModernBhakti #DailyWisdom #QandA ********************************************************************* LOVE THE PODCAST?

Na później Na później Listy Polub PolubioneMore than sacred—this is about cosmic justice, karmic cleansing, and the mysterious flow of divine grace. In this provocative conclusion to our two-part deep dive, Raghunath and Kaustubha unpack why the Ganges is revered as the purifier of sins and how its sanctity is upheld—not just by myth or ritual, but through the living presence of Krishna and His devotees. What makes a river more than water? How does mercy override karma? And how can we become a river of grace ourselves? Key Highlights: • The Ganges as a portal of divine compassion—from Vaikuntha to Earth. • How saintly souls become walking places of pilgrimage. • Grace vs. karma: why fairness isn’t the highest principle in the universe. • The mystical relationship between Krishna’s feet, the holy river, and the pure-hearted. • Why Bhagiratha’s mission wasn’t just personal—it was a multi-generational act of love.

Na później Na później Listy Polub PolubioneCan water actually wash away your karma? For thousands of years, pilgrims have journeyed to the Ganges River with unwavering faith that her sacred waters can liberate the soul. But where does that power come from? And why is it believed that even the most sinful acts can be purified through a simple bath in her current? In this episode, Raghunath and Kaustubha explore the profound story of King Bhagirath and the descent of the Ganga, as told in the pages of the Śrīmad Bhāgavatam . Together, they unpack ancient insights into how grace flows through sacred elements, and how divine consciousness transforms even the physical elements of this world. Key Highlights: • Why Bhagirath’s mission to bring down the Ganges spanned generations • The deep Vedic symbolism of “lotus feet” and approaching the divine from the ground up • Ganga’s own doubts—can she handle the sins of the world? • What makes something sacred in bhakti: form, faith, or transcendental connection?

54:27 Na później Na później Listy Polub Polubione54:27
Na później Na później Listy Polub PolubioneDiscover how modern psychology’s insights into motivated reasoning and confirmation bias align with ancient yogic teachings on how desire and attachment distort our perception of truth. In this eye-opening episode of Wisdom of the Sages, Raghunath and Kaustubha explore how both science and the Bhakti tradition describe the mind’s tendency to protect its illusions rather than seek reality. Drawing from the Śrīmad Bhāgavatam, they unpack why truth feels so elusive, how even scholars and scientist can be blinded by comfort zones, and why the Bhāgavatam’s vision of Krishna as the personal Absolute is the ultimate disruption to the ego’s false narratives. 🔥 Key Takeaways: • Your mind isn’t always seeking truth—it’s seeking emotional safety. • Vedānta through the lens of Bhāgavatam reveals a spiritual evolution that challenges impersonalism. • Why we may cling to comforting spiritual philosophies—even when they contradict the sacred texts. • How the modes of material nature (guṇas) influence our worldviews, preferences. • The difference between subjective attraction and ontological truth in the path of bhakti.

59:09 Na później Na później Listy Polub Polubione59:09
Na później Na później Listy Polub PolubioneOur perception of truth is rarely objective—it’s colored by what we crave and what we fear. In this eye-opening episode of Wisdom of the Sages, Raghunath and Kaustubha unpack a powerful quote from Carl Jung: “Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life and you will call it fate.” Paired with deep wisdom from the Śrīmad Bhāgavatam, they explore how our internal programming—our icchā (desires) and dveṣa (aversions)—create filters that distort our understanding of the world, ourselves, and God. The episode takes a fascinating turn as the hosts recount the story of King Sagara’s sons, whose perception was so warped by anger and false assumptions that it led to their destruction. In contrast, a single grandson approaches with humility and clarity, revealing how higher consciousness means learning to see clearly—beyond the lens of the ego. Key Highlights: • How unconscious preferences distort spiritual understanding • Krishna’s words on icchā and dveṣa in the Bhagavad-gītā (7.27) • Why seeing the divine requires transcending the “box” we’ve built for truth • The difference between living under illusion and recognizing Krishna’s hand in all things • A reflection on how saints, mystics, and avatars may be walking among us unnoticed This episode isn’t just theory—it’s a call to courageously examine the filters we carry and begin the inner work of uncovering truth as it is. 🎧 Subscribe, tune in, and join the global bhakti conversation. #BhaktiWisdom #SrimadBhagavatam #CarlJung #AttachmentAndAversion #YogaPhilosophy #SelfAwareness #SpiritualPerception #ConsciousLiving #WisdomOfTheSages #KrishnaYoga SB 9.8.19-22 ********************************************************************* LOVE THE PODCAST?

Na później Na później Listy Polub PolubioneLife’s most painful moments often carry the seeds of our deepest transformation. In this powerful episode, author and scholar Simon Haas joins Wisdom of the Sages to illuminate how the Bhagavad Gita frames personal crisis—not as a detour from the spiritual path, but as an integral part of it. Known as Vishad Yoga, the yoga of crisis, this ancient wisdom reveals how despair can become a gateway to awakening. Through the lens of Arjuna’s breakdown on the battlefield, Simon explains the four universal symptoms of a dark night of the soul: • Intense suffering tied to time—fear of the future, lamentation for the past, and confusion in the present • A powerful urge to withdraw from life or even give up • Confrontation with parts of ourselves we’d rather not see • A feeling of complete helplessness, where even our best tools no longer work Rather than avoiding these moments, Simon shows us how to recognize them as sacred rites of passage—times when the soul is being reshaped by divine design. Learn how to navigate the inner battlefield with the guidance of yoga philosophy, and why the teachings of Krishna to Arjuna offer a timeless blueprint for turning breakdown into breakthrough. Key Highlights: • Why suffering often precedes spiritual evolution • How to listen, surrender, and evolve when everything falls apart • Why the world’s greatest spiritual texts were born from suffering • Practical tools from the Gita for navigating emotional crisis This episode is a profound companion for anyone going through grief, loss, disillusionment, or inner change.

Na później Na później Listy Polub PolubioneFor some of us, it seems like the mind will never let us go. In this raw and deeply insightful Q&A episode, Raghunath and Kaustubha confront the complex intersection of trauma, depression, and the spiritual path. They unpack how the Bhakti tradition doesn’t promise a quick fix for erasing psychological suffering—but it radically reframes it. Drawing from the Bhagavad Gītā and Śrīmad Bhāgavatam, they explain how the soul carries the subtle mind into the next life, how karma shapes mental struggles, and how deep devotional practice can burn through even the heaviest mental burdens. Bhakti offers a transformative lens—a way to see the mind not as the self, but as an apparatus we carry on the soul’s long journey. For anyone dealing with mental health challenges, or supporting those who are, this episode offers real spiritual tools to face it, live with it, and grow beyond it. Key Highlights: • Why Bhakti might not quickly “fix” depression—but it can transform how we live with it • How trauma and psychological pain may carry over from previous lifetimes • The yogic technique that instantly reveals you are not your mind • Raghunath shares candid reflections on fatherhood, heartbreak, and spiritual surrender 🎧 Dive into a conversation that’s equal parts psychology and soul. 🌟 Subscribe for daily spiritual insights and join a global community living the path of Bhakti.

Resentment is a silent killer of peace—and it’s one of the biggest obstacles on the spiritual path. In this powerful episode of Wisdom of the Sages, Raghunath and special guest Jiva G dive deep into the spiritual and psychological mechanics of forgiveness.

54:39 Na później Na później Listy Polub Polubione54:39
Na później Na później Listy Polub PolubioneLike a great classical composition, the Śrīmad Bhāgavatam unfolds as variations on a theme—repeating, refining, and revealing a singular truth through different stories and characters. That truth? Beyond the pursuit of pleasure (bhoga) and even the escape of liberation (mokṣa), the highest fulfillment is found in bhakti—a relationship of divine love. In this episode of Wisdom of the Sages, Raghunath and Kaustubha explore how this theme plays out in the dramatic encounter between Durvāsā Muni and King Ambarīṣa. More than just an ancient tale, their story touches on something deeply relevant—our modern struggles with power, ego, and the fear of surrender. What does it really mean when Vishnu declares that He is controlled by love? And how does this vision of the divine challenge our deepest assumptions about strength, authority, and freedom? 🔥 Key Highlights: • The Bhāgavatam’s structure—how it echoes the classical technique of variations on a theme. • Why the pursuit of power, knowledge, or even liberation is ultimately incomplete. • How Bhakti rewires our understanding of strength—not as domination, but as devotion. • Vishnu’s unexpected revelation: “I am controlled by the love of my devotees.” • What true freedom looks like when it’s rooted in love rather than detachment. If you’ve ever wrestled with the idea of a personal divine or questioned what true fulfillment looks like, this episode offers a fresh perspective—one that unfolds like a beautifully composed symphony, leading us back to the essence of spiritual life. 🌟 Subscribe for daily wisdom and join a growing global conversation on Bhakti and the deeper meaning of life. 🎧 Tune in now! #DivineLove #BhaktiYoga #SrimadBhagavatam #WisdomOfTheSages #SpiritualFreedom SB 9.4.65-71 ********************************************************************* LOVE THE PODCAST?

Key Highlights: • The difference between external religion and true spiritual realization. • Why anger and resentment signal a lack of brahman realization. • Maharaja Ambarish’s fearless response to a mystic’s fiery attack. • The power of forgiveness through seeing the soul beyond the body and mind.

Yet, despite their dominance over nature and their vast influence, they often act out of pride, emotion, and material attachment—just like common people.

1 1539: The Secret Purpose of the Avatars 51:07
51:07 Na później Na później Listy Polub Polubione51:07
Na później Na później Listy Polub PolubioneCreation and destruction, cosmic order and divine justice—these may seem like the primary reasons God engages with the world, but the Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam reveals something much deeper. Krishna’s true purpose in manifesting within the material realm isn’t merely to uphold dharma or to punish the wicked—it’s to reciprocate the love of His devotees. And within that love, a happiness is found that far surpasses the impersonal peace of liberation. In this episode, Kaustubha, along with guest hosts Jiva and Chapu, explores these profound truths as Wisdom of the Sages enters the Ninth Canto. Through the story of King Ambarish and the powerful mystic Durvasa Muni, we witness how devotion (bhakti) eclipses all other forms of spiritual attainment. The episode also unpacks a crucial philosophical hierarchy: how Brahman realization—the understanding that one is beyond the material world—is contained within Paramatma realization, which not only perceives the Divine within the heart but also recognizes the Supreme Intelligence orchestrating the workings of the entire material realm. Yet both are ultimately encompassed within Bhagavan realization, where God is understood not merely as an impersonal force or an all-pervading presence, but as the Supreme Person—Krishna—who loves, reciprocates, and reveals Himself fully to His devotees. Key Highlights: ✨ Why Krishna’s primary concern isn’t universal order—it’s love. ✨ The joy of bhakti vs. the impersonal peace of liberation. ✨ How Brahman and Paramatma realizations are included within Bhagavan realization. ✨ Paramatma realization as the recognition of divine intelligence behind the cosmos. ✨ King Ambarish vs. Durvasa Muni: The power of devotion over mystic perfection. ✨ The Ninth Canto as the gateway to Krishna’s most intimate pastimes.

Na później Na później Listy Polub PolubioneScientific studies confirm that a personal, collaborative relationship with the Divine fosters resilience, reduces anxiety, and instills a deep sense of purpose. But what does this look like beyond research? In this episode, Raghunath and Kaustubha explore a powerful story from the ancient text, the Srimad Bhagavatam, revealing how the essence of devotion, even when unspoken, can invoke the rarest form of divine grace. Human life is an opportunity to inquire into the meaning of existence—a quest that naturally leads us to engage with different conceptions of God and explore what, if anything, is behind it all. In this story, we encounter a unique presentation of divinity—not as a distant judge or a figure demanding fear-based obedience, but as an intimately kind presence who responds to the sincerity of the heart, even when that devotion can’t be outwardly expressed. This contrasts sharply with fear-driven religious frameworks, which often breed guilt and anxiety. Instead, this vision of the divine fosters emotional resilience, hope, and genuine connection. 🎯 Key Takeaways: ✨ The Science of Spiritual Connection: Why studies affirm that a loving, collaborative relationship with the divine enhances psychological well-being. ✨ The Power of Sincere Devotion: How even unspoken surrender can invoke profound spiritual growth. ✨ The Power of Intention: Discover why it’s the authentic intention behind your actions—not outward displays—that truly matters. ✨ Freedom from Fear-Based Theology: How shifting from guilt and obligation to love and trust transforms both your mental health and spiritual life. This episode is a powerful reminder that you don’t need perfection to experience divine grace—just a sincere heart.

The moment we gain a little wealth, power, or beauty, we fall into the illusion of ownership. We think, This is mine. I earned it. I control it. But the reality? Everything we claim as ours is on loan, and the more we cling to it, the more we suffer. In this episode of Wisdom of the Sages, Raghunath and Kaustubha unpack the timeless lesson of Bali Maharaj—the king who had everything, yet willingly gave it all to the Supreme. His story exposes how material opulence blinds us, inflates our ego, and makes us forget our true position. Meanwhile, Lord Vishnu reveals the ultimate mercy: sometimes, losing everything is the only way to gain what truly matters. 🎙️ Featuring kirtan leader and author Radhika Das, who shares insights from his new book Mantra Meditation and the growing global movement of sacred sound. Key Highlights: ✨ Why we claim ownership over things that were never really ours. ✨ The intoxicating effect of material success—and how to stay grounded. ✨ How Bali Maharaj’s surrender shattered the illusion of false proprietorship. ✨ The real meaning of offering something to God when He already owns everything.
