Think 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

Leaving a legacy of compassion and service wherever we may go.   Through great examples of unlikely people dealing with challenges in strength and integrity, we are reminded that a life worth living isn't necessarily easy. Developing equal vision in happiness and distress, towards rich and poor, and in all dualities of life, can aid us in ascending to a level of being able to see the unity in the diversity of all living things. Seeing all beings as beings of love. This is the essence of Bhakti.

In this episode, Radhanath Swami describes how our very living force, the soul, is a part of the divine, just like how a particle of light is a part of the sun. Love for the divine and love for every living being is dormant within us all, it only needs to be awakened through the simple but sublime practice of Bhakti yoga.  This episode is filled with deep insights and relatable lessons that are not only profound, but instantly applicable to our daily lives.

An evolved society is one in which people love people and use things.  Unfortunately, we live in a time where we hear more often that not, that people love things and use people to get them and to keep them.   Through unbelievable stories, memorable lessons and realised wisdom, Radhanath Swami shares with us how we can never be satisfied with this consciousness.   This address to the students at Cambridge Union is an invitation to all. An opportunity to realise that we do not need vast amounts of money or resource to have a positive influence on the world and on those around us in our day to day lives.

I met an interesting guy who made me think. I was telling him about what I do, and he asked, “What does the healer do when they need healing?” And that's how we got to today's topic. I have created a gumbo of rituals, people, and items I use to help me heal as a healer. I incorporate many things into my wellness gumbo, but I only focused on ten ingredients currently nourishing my soul in today's episode. Sidenote: I'm not sharing these to endorse any person or product, but as resources of quick ways I pause and refuel my mind, body, and spirit as a Black woman in America. And trust me, we all need to find what works for us to keep our sanity! If you have recommendations of quick ways I can further nourish myself that are working for you, send me a message, and I'll give you a shoutout and share with the collective on a future podcast episode.

From Radhanath Swami we can learn how to flow with grace and surrender, seeing every moment as an opportunity to serve and please Krsna. He inspires us to reevaluate our behavior and act in a way that Krsna will be satisfied with us. We can learn to be more present and intentional in every interaction and approach every situation as a service opportunity. Our spiritual advancement rests on how much we take our day to day process of spiritual life seriously. Surrender means to open ourselves up to the infinite possibilities beyond what we can do on our own.
