They told him to be strong. So he hid his pain, swallowed his tears, and smiled through the storms. This is for every man who was told to ‘man up.' Your emotions are valid. Express them. Don't bottle up or think that they are a sign of weakness.Your tears are natural because real men feel. Real men cry too. Crying doesn't make you less of a man. It makes you honest. It makes you human.Lets find our safe space, accept and express the emotions and heal.Arjuna surrendered to Sri Krishna with tears in his eyes before the Mahabharata war. Sri Rama broke down in front of Sita. After Sati's self-immolation, Shiva wept and roamed in grief, carrying her body. Bharata was shattered upon learning Rama was exiled; he expressed his emotions and refused the throne.Please share more examples in the comments.In Sanatana Dharma, emotions are not suppressed—they are purified and transformed.#MasculinityRedefined #ItsOkayToCry #MenCryToo#MentalHealthForMen #ItsOkayToNotBeOkay #BreakTheStigma #RedefiningStrength #HeFeelsToo #TearsAreValid #StrongMenFeel #ManEnoughToCry[Ramayana Lessons, Mahabharata Wisdom, Arjuna's Tears, Rama's Grief, Shiva's Loss, Yudhishthira's Regret, Sanatana Dharma Emotions, Vedic Masculinity, mens mental fitness month, mental health]Please support this podcast by pressing the follow button and support Chinmaya Mission Mumbai projects taken up by Swami Swatmananda, through generous donations.

Asked by Sri Rama to tell him the news about Sita, Hanuman apprises Sri Rama of her presence at the foot of a Shimshapa tree in the midst of ogresses and delivers her message after narrating the incidents related by her as a token.Recitation: 00:00 - 04:52Translation: 04:56 - 11:38
Hanuman tells Sri Rama, how Sita expressed her doubt in the first instance about a monkey being able to leap across a vast sea and how her doubt was resolved by him.Recitation: 00:00 - 05:10Translation: 05:13 - 12:00*** END OF SUNDARAKANDA ***
Hanuman reproduces at length the incident connected with a crow that took place during the sojourn of Sita with Sri Rama at Chitrakoota, related by her by way of a token, and further describes her piteous lament and the way in which she was comforted by Hanuman.Recitation: 00:00 - 07:24Translation: 07:27 - 17:43
Pressing to his bosom the jewel for the head sent by Sita and piteously wailing in many ways, Sri Rama urges Hanuman to repeat the message of Sita.Recitation: 00:00 - 02:47Translation: 02:51 - 07:06
Returning to Madhuvana as commanded by Sugriva, and craving the forgiveness of Angada, Dadhimukha submits to the latter that he is urgently summoned by Sugriva. Set out in the company of Hanuman and others, and approaching Sugriva, Prince Angada apprises Sri Rama, after saluting him, of the discovery of Sita and other events.Recitation: 00:00 - 07:27Translation: 07:31 - 17:21
Having heard from the mouth of Dadhimukha the story of Madhivana having been laid waste by the monkeys, Sugriva concludes from the jubilation of the monkeys that Sita has been traced out. Comforting Dadhimukha, he asks him to send Angada and others without delay.Recitation: 00:00 - 05:50Translation: 05:53 - 13:40
Feeling encouraged by the tributes paid to his valour by his fellow monkeys, Price Angada undertakes to exterminate the entire ogre race including Ravana and bring back Sita from Lanka. Jambavan, however, who is more sagacious and practical-minded, discourages him by recourse to potent counter-arguments.Recitation: 00:00 - 03:39Translation: 03:43 - 09:12
Picturing to his fellow monkeys the said plight of Sita, and feeling that it behoved them all to see Sri Rama only after recovering Sita from Lanka, recounting the past heroic exploits of Jambavan and others, Hanuman incites them all to have recourse to the arbitrament of war.Recitation: 00:00 - 05:33Translation: 05:37 - 13:41
Having leapt from the coast of Lanka and touching the Mainaka mountain, which he came across in the way, advancing further, Hanuman roars at the top of his voice at the sight of the Mahendra mountain in order to bring joy to the monkeys awaiting his return there. Jambavan tells the monkeys, who got up impetuously on hearing the roar, that Hanuman has returned successful from his expedition as was evident from his jubilant roar. Having greeted Jambavan and others on alighting on the summit of the Mahendra mountain, Hanuman narrates to them in a nutshell the story of his discovery of Sita. Applauding Hanuman, Prince Angada, who was eager to hear the story, sits down to do so on an extensive flat rock along with all. Recitation: 00:00 - 08:53Translation: 08:55 - 20:11
Hanuman sees Sita once more and bidding adieu to her, takes a leap across the sea.Recitation: 00:00 - 08:33Translation: 08:37 - 19:25
Lecture by Swami Tyagananda, given on April 6, 2025, at the Ramakrishna Vedanta Society, Boston, MA
Narrating the story of Sri Rama from the latter's entry into the forest, to his own sight of Sita being borne away by Ravana through the air over the Rshyamuka mountain, and celebrating the glory of Sri Rama, Hanuman points out to Ravana that if he longed to survive he should restore Sita to Sri Rama and that he should be prepared for the worst if, on the other hand, he chooses not to part with her.Recitation: 00:00 - 07:52Translation: 07:56 - 19:03
Wrapping up the tail of Hanuman in rags and soaking it in oil, and then lighting it up, the ogres, as urged by Ravana, take Hanuman round the city to the accompaniment of beats of drums. Hearing this news from the lips of the ogresses, Sita prays to the god of fire on oath to see that Hanuman remains unscathed. Climbing up the gate and shedding the fire by attenuating his body, and then resuming vast proportions and seizing the iron bar of the gate, Hanuman kills with it the ogres guarding the gate.Recitation: 00:00 - 07:53Translation: 07:56 - 18:14
Seeing the whole of Lanka reduced to ashes and presuming Sita too to have shared its lot, Hanuman begins to reproach himself and gets overwhelmed with grief. In the meantime, he hears of her safety from the lips of Siddhas, Chaaranas (celestial bards) and others and feels comforted.Recitation: 00:00 - 06:03Translation: 06:06 - 15:12

It's said that in the absolute reality, there are varieties of feeling—but all of them are of the same quality of transcendental bliss. How can what looks like heartbreak actually be an entry to the deepest spiritual joy? 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.

THIS IS A spontaneous episode covering the recent horrific massacre of Hindus in Pahalgam, Kashmir. What we call as the Kashmir “problem” is a polite way of describing a civilisational problem. It is a festering wound created by India's first Prime Minister, Jawaharlal Nehru. In this episode, I recount the brilliant article written more than 30 years ago by Sita Ram Goel, one of the greatest intellectual warriors of Sanatana Dharma. In it, Sri Goel gives not only a historical perspective to the Kashmir issue but links it to the failure on the part of the "secular" governments since Independence. In this connection, it is pertinent to remember current the fate of the Hindus in Muslim-majority Pakistan and Bangladesh. It is the same fate that Hindus in Kashmir are also suffering in Kashmir since the last thirty years. In fact, the civilisational problem in J&K is one of Hindu astitva and asmita.Do tune into this powerful episode!

Perceiving the destruction of the royal pleasance at the hands of Hanuman, the ogresses keeping watch over Sita asked her who he was. On Sita's pleading her ignorance in the matter, some of them hurriedly seek the presence of Ravana and report the matter to him. Hanuman makes short work of a company of ogres known by the name of Kinkaras, despatched by Ravana. Thereupon Ravana sends Prahasta's son to punish the intruder.Recitation: 00:00 - 07:31Translation: 07:33 - 16:42
What does it means to lead without ego, serve without exploitation, and rule with spiritual detachment? 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

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

The Ramayana doesn't just tell an ancient story—it reveals eternal truths. 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

Asked by Hanuman for a token, Sita narrates the episode of a crow, which occurred on the Chitrakuta mountain, and asks Hanuman to repeat the story to Sri Rama by way of a token. She further sends her greetings to both Sri Rama and Lakshmana, conveys her enquiry after their welfare and communicates to them her resolve to survive only for a month after the expiry of the time-limit prescribed by Ravana; and last of all, she hands over to him, her jewel for the head as a token.Recitation: 00:00 - 11:50Translation: 11:53 - 29:56
Sita asks Hanuman, when the latter is about to depart with the jewel for her head, to apprise Sri rama and Lakshmana of her own welfare and urge them to rescue her. When Sita expresses her misgivings about the capacity of the heroes on Sri Rama's side to cross the sea. Hanuman expatiates on the might of the monkey heroes and assures her of their abilit yto cross it, and in the end consoles her by promising to bring Sri rama and Lakshmana on his back across the sea in any case.Recitation: 00:00 - 09:03Translation:09:06 - 20:54
Asking Hanuman, who was ready to depart, to remind Sri Rama of his having once painted a decorative mark on her cheek with red realgar, and also of how he threw a reed at the crow assailing her, destroying his right eye thereby, as further tokens of Hanuman having met her, and urging him to apprise Sri Rama of her wretched plight, Sita grants him leave to depart with her blessings.Recitation: 00:00 - 04:28Translation: 04:32 - 10:40
Sita, who was distressed to hear of Sri Rama's excessive grief caused by separation from her, implores Hanuman to bring Sri Rama at once to her. Hanuman, who could not bear to see Sita's sad plight, offers to carry her on his back to the presence of Sri Rama and girds up his loins to do so. In order to inspire confidence in Sita, who doubts his capacity to do it looking to his small size, Hanuman assumes a gigantic form. Sita, however, declines to go with him and urges Hanuman to bring Sri Rama to her.Recitation: 00:00 - 11:37Translation: 11:40 - 26:46
Hanuman delivers Sri Rama's signet ring to Sita in order to strengthen her confidence in him. Applauding Hanuman, Sita, who was rejoiced to receive the token, inquires about the health of Sri Rama and others. In order to appease the lady, who felt indignant at the thought that Sri Rama did not care to come to her rescue so far, which led her to suspect that he had ceased to love her, Hanuman attributes his non-appearance to his ignorance about her whereabouts. Describing Sri Rama's desolation in order to betoken his excessive love for her, he consoles her with the assurance that Sri Rama is sparing no pains to rescue her from her confinement.Recitation: 00:00 - 08:33Translation: 08:38 - 20:40
Accounting his purpose not fully accomplished till he had ascertained the strength of his ogres, even though he had received the message of Sita, and making up his mind to lay waste the royal pleasure-garden as a means ascertaining the strength of the enemy, Hanuman proceeds to do it.Recitation: 00:00 - 04:25Translation: 04:31 - 10:59
Questioned by Sita, who was anxious to ascertain the bonafides of the monkey, Hanuman, after cataloguing the marks on the person of Sri Rama and Lakshmana, narrates his own life-story from his birth onwards including his role as a minister of Sugriva, and ending with his seeing of Sita.Recitation: 00:00 - 15:12Translation: 15:17 - 36:55
Inferring from the suitable replies to his query received from Sita and the trust reposed in him by the latter, Hanuman reveals to her the role of an envoy allotted to him by Sri Rama and repeats the enquiries made by the two brothers about her welfare. Taking him to be Ravana disguised as a monkey, Sita , on the other hand reproaches him when the latter approaches her in order to bow down at her feet. In order to allay her fears, Hanuman for his part discloses to her his reality as a minister of Sugriva as well as requests her to give credence to his words.Recitation: 00:00 - 06:59Translation: 07:04 - 16:42
Keen to hear of Sita's identity from her own lips, even though he had identified her, Hanuman inquires of her whether she was a goddess or anyone else and asks her to disclose her identity in case she was Sita. In reply to this query Sita narrates to him her whole life-story ending with her abduction by Ravana nd tells him how Ravana was going to kill her two months later, and how in this event of her not being delivered from his clutches before that, she has resolved to end her life by herself.Recitation: 00:00 - 05:37Translation: 05:43 - 13:22
Imagining Hanuman to have been seen in a dream, though actually perceived by her, and believing the sight of a monkey in a dream to be ominous, Sita becomes anxious about the welfare of Sri Rama and others. Then concluding him on other grounds to have been seen in her waking hours, she prays to Brahma and other gods that the statement of Hanuman may come out to be true.Recitation: 00:00 - 03:14Translation: 03:17 - 08:07
Weighing the pros and cons of comforting Sita or remaining mum, now that he had come to know everything about Sita at first hand, Hanuman decides upon the former course at the psychological moment.Recitation: 00:00 - 07:54Translation: 07:55 - 17:54
Every 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.
