    Our Life is a Dream – Wake Up!

    The ancient texts of yoga wisdom share that, in one sense, The world we live in is an illusion or like a dream. When we are having a bad or fearful dream, there is no point in trying to correct our situation within the dream. Rather the solution is to wake up! The wisdom of the sages of the Srimad Bhagavatam is the way to do it.  (covers Srimad Bhagavatam 1.1.1-1.1.3)

    Choose Your Addictions Carefully

Plus the appearance of the young sage Sukadeva Goswami the six symptoms of the soul found in all life (humans, animals and plants), equality and difference in human beings, and how life is a series of questions and answers but certain questions can lead to atma suprasidati (complete satisfaction of the soul).

    Human Life is Meant For Inquiry Into the Absolute Truth

    Human Life is Meant For Inquiry Into the Absolute Truth

    Raghunath & Kaustubha discuss the answer to the big question by the sages, "How can people find complete satisfaction of the self?" The answer is pure devotion. They also discuss that human life is meant for inquiry into the absolute truth, that knowledge and detachment come automatically with bhakti, that much of the yoga (asana) in the West, as well as America in general, could benefit from some sattva guna, the slippery slope into tamas, and recalibrating on Mondays.

So much love and wisdom

Love to listen to this with family on road trip. Love to listen to this alone driving home from work. I laugh out loud and I am filled w so much love that people like Raghu, and Kastubha and Mara are here and bring us such a down to earth- touch the grass- yet reach the heavens- podcast.

Sacred teachings delivered in a cheerful & chill vibe

Raghu & Kasthuba provide a fresh rendition of the Srimad Bagavatam. Don’t let their colloquial, New York delivery fool you on their devotion & wisdom of the Hindu scriptures. These guys are the modern day teachers making their own sauce on ancient wisdom 🙏🙏✨

The most important part of my morning

I have been listening since pretty much the beginning and this show quickly became a crucial and core part of my daily sadhana. I look to Raghunath, Kaustubha, and Mara on a daily basis to be a compass for my spiritual journey. No matter where my head is upon waking (usually scattered and distressed) my boat seems to at least be pointed back in the proper direction after the show has finished. What you are doing here is extremely important and I thank you so very much.
