  • 1688: Einstein Meets the Bhagavad GÄ«tā: Yogic Perception Beyond the Intellect
    When cramming facts hits a ceiling, yogic practice opens the window. In this conversation, Raghunath and Kaustubha explore how Einstein’s relativity and Vedic ideas of time echo a truth from the Bhagavad GÄ«tā—that spiritual realization isn’t conquered by intellect but received through receptivity. Drawing on the GÄ«tā, the Yoga Sutras, and insights from Terryl Givens, they unpack the yogic disciplines that transform perception: humility, sattva, service, and devotion. The episode bridges science and spirituality to show how the mind studies, but the heart sees. ********************************************************************* LOVE THE PODCAST?

  • 1687: Diwali & the Art of Outgrowing Desire
    Diwali is the perfect moment to upgrade your relationship with desire. In this episode, we contrast the material formulaā€”ā€œif the world gives me what I want, I’ll be happyā€ā€”with the yogic move to become the observer of desire, calm it with clear knowledge, and outgrow it through devotion. As love deepens, the craving mind quiets and new, service-shaped desires appear. Expect festival-of-lights reflections, Bhakti insights on detachment and fulfillment, a Bob-Dylan-approved reminder that we all serve something, and a few laughs about Raghu’s gym heroics and MRI adventures—because even on the path of devotion, humor helps the medicine go down. Srimad Bhagavatam 10.13.50-51 ********************************************************************* LOVE THE PODCAST? WE ARE COMMUNITY SUPPORTED AND WOULD LOVE FOR YOU TO JOIN!

  • 1686: From Bypass to Bhakti: 12-Step Honesty with Jiva G
    When devotion turns into performance, honesty becomes the new yoga. In this powerful conversation with Jiva G, Raghunath explores how 12-Step recovery principles blend seamlessly with bhakti yoga to heal the heart. Together they unpack spiritual bypassing, codependency, trauma, and the courage to drop the mask. It’s raw, funny, and deeply transformative—showing that real bhakti isn’t about perfection, it’s about honesty, humility, and doing the inner work that makes love real. ********************************************************************* LOVE THE PODCAST?

  • 1685: Do I Have Glowworms Living in My Heart? / Idols Stop Dazzling as Devotion Dawns
    Do I Have Glowworms Living in My Heart? / Idols Stop Dazzling as Devotion Dawns When the real sun of devotion rises, all the little stars we once worshiped start to look dim. Drawing from ŚrÄ«mad-Bhāgavatam 10.13, Raghunath and Kaustubha explore how Brahmā’s cosmic humbling reveals a truth we all face: the glowworms of worldly admiration can’t compete with divine light. Srimad Bhagavatam 10.13.45-50 ********************************************************************* LOVE THE PODCAST? WE ARE COMMUNITY SUPPORTED AND WOULD LOVE FOR YOU TO JOIN!

  • 1684: Fooling Mother Nature? Why Material Solutions Backfire
    When we try to ā€œfixā€ life, sometimes it only breaks further. In this episode, Raghunath and Kaustubha examine how our material solutions—cars, technology, medicine—can backfire when they stem from the impulse to control, not harmonize. Through the lens of ŚrÄ«mad-Bhāgavatam 10.13.44, Tagore’s warning, and a margarine ad that tried to fool Mother Nature, this discussion reveals how true wisdom isn’t about domination—it’s about surrender, humility, and learning to live in harmony. What you’ll take away: * Why control breeds chaos and how we get stuck in whack-a-mole fixes * The folly of ā€œdoing better than natureā€ — margarine vs. butter * Newton’s insight: explanation is not origin * The meaning of sattva (contentment) vs. rajas (complication) * How Viṣṇu’s all-pervading nature humbles our intellect * Observing the small (even just chickens) to glimpse the cosmos * Practical suggestions for aligning with nature instead of conquering it šŸ”” Subscribe now for daily spiritual insights and stay tuned for more explorations on Bhakti, wisdom, and the art of living.
