Podcasts about srimad bhagavatam

Most of us long for a quiet mind. But what fills it once the noise is gone? On a solo bike ride across upstate New York, Raghunath finds that solitude alone doesn't bring peace. Left to itself, the mind drifts to its default setting. Raghunath and Kaustubha explore why the path of bhakti points beyond stillness to something fuller. Amid the violence of Krishna's wrestling match in Mathura, the women in the crowd make a startling claim: the greatest yogis aren't hermits on mountaintops, but village women whose hearts are absorbed in love while churning butter and caring for their children.

When something is wrong and we say nothing, our own inner light begins to fade. But speaking up only heals when it comes from a place of love. Raghunath and Kaustubha draw on an old Quaker insight: love endures and overcomes, while hatred destroys, starting with the one who carries it. Online comment threads can drag out our lower nature and cloud our spiritual clarity, and posting is cheap. The more meaningful, illuminating path is not only to speak truth to power, but to live it.

I'm a man. I'm a woman. I'm American. I'm this, I'm that. Every label we carry colors how we see the world, ourselves and God. Yoga starts from a bold premise: our perception is clouded, and it can be cleared. Bhakti goes further still. As the lens clears, a love unique to each of us awakens. Raghunath and Kaustubha explore that teaching through Krishna's entrance into Kamsa's wrestling arena, where the same boy stirs terror in one heart, wonder in another, and varieties of love in others. Srimad Bhagavatam 10.42.32 - 10.43.40 Nārada Pañcarātra, quoted in Caitanya-caritāmṛta, Madhya 19.170 ******************************************************************** LOVE THE PODCAST?

Our sense of security is based on illusion — confirmed by both modern science and the sages of the Bhakti Yoga tradition. A landmark psychiatric study reveals something startling about what actually determines whether we panic or stay calm. The Vedic sages were ahead of the curve, and put it plainly: we are living in two illusions — false terror and false security. The material energy is infinitely more powerful than us. True security comes only when we wake up from the dream and step into the spiritual truth, connecting with the power that is actually stable. In this episode Raghunath and Kaustubha explore what that looks like in practice. Srimad Bhagavatam 10.42.15-31 ******************************************************************** LOVE THE PODCAST?

In the form of a beautiful teenager God enters a new city, meets a hunchback girl in the street, transforms her body and enters a romance with her. On the surface it sounds bizarre. But read with the right eyes, it is rich in ecological and theological depth. The girl is an expansion of Mother Earth herself, bent low under the burden of wicked rulers. Krishna straightens her out, indicates the value in loving nature personified, and demonstrates how God can reciprocate with all varieties of love.

The Bhagavad-gītā sings of Krishna as the Absolute Truth — complete in himself, independent and lacking nothing. He doesn't need anything we can offer him. And yet — he wants our love. Raghunath and Kaustubha explore that paradox through the narration of Krishna's entrance into Mathurā — and what two very different encounters reveal about the one thing that actually matters in our relationship with God.

In the 1970s the book Jonathan Livingston Seagull became a bestseller. A parable about a gull who refuses to follow the flock and discovers that his true nature is limitless. It serves as an insightful description of the spiritual path. The masses mistake worldly objects for sources of happiness — and spend their lives chasing what can never deliver. And some brave few dare to fly higher, brushing aside the disapproval of the flock. In this episode Raghunath and Kaustubha explore that courage alongside Akrūra's extraordinary prayers — about chasing the mirage and missing the divine love in one's own heart.

Voltaire — the greatest writer of the French Enlightenment wrote that there is a dim flame burning in every heart — an intuition that somewhere there is a home, a happiness that is real and lasting.  We spend our lives chasing it in bodies, children, homes, wealth, relationships. And it never quite delivers. In this episode Raghunath and Kaustubha explore that intuition, what covers that dim light, and how the sacred texts of the bhakti tradition say it can be uncovered.

Westerners who take interest in Eastern Spirituality may be reacting to elements of exclusivism found in Western religion (we're right and everyone else is wrong).

Most Vedic literature speaks from a perspective within this universe. But some reveal that this universe is just a tiny bubble among countless others — and invite us to view our place in existence from outside. Depending on which angle we look from, either Vishnu or Krishna will appear to be the origin of the Avatars. Raghunath and Kaustubha explore that question alongside Akrūra's extraordinary vision in the Yamuna — seeing Vishnu in the water, coming out to find Krishna on the chariot, going back in and seeing Vishnu again.

To the philosopher, the weeping of Krishna's lovers looks like ordinary suffering. To the mystics it's the culmination of the highest knowledge. Evelyn Underhill — first woman to lecture in theology at Oxford — said the mystic speaks the disconcerting language of first-hand experience, something only really understood by another who has felt it. Raghunath and Kaustubha explore what it means to move from thinking to tasting — and why the passion of the gopīs is where all philosophy ends.

It's not the coat of many colors that mattered. It was the love her momma sewed into every stitch. Dolly Parton understood something the Bhagavad Gīta states plainly: offer me a leaf, a flower, a little water — but offered with love, that moves me. It's not the grandness of the offering. It's what's inside it. Raghunath and Kaustubha explore that truth alongside Akrūra in the home of Krishna — fed, honored, overwhelmed. "What is unattainable for one who has satisfied the Supreme?" And yet those who truly love Krishna want nothing. They are so full of love there is nothing more the heart can desire.

It's what's inside it. Raghunath and Kaustubha explore that truth alongside Akrūra in the home of Krishna — fed, honored, overwhelmed. "What is unattainable for one who has satisfied the Supreme?" And yet those who truly love Krishna want nothing. They are so full of love there is nothing more the heart can desire.

A taste, a smell, a place, a song — something dormant rises suddenly from the depths. The Vedic tradition calls this Udīpana — stimuli that transport you. But where? Raghunath and Kaustubha explore that question through Proust's famous Madeleine moment and Akrūra finding Krishna's footprints in the cowherd pasture — the footprints whose pure dust the rulers of the planets hold on their crowns. This is a shadow world — it has the imprints of the real world but can't give you what the real world gives. The senses have the power to transport you.

"I laugh when I hear that the fish in the water is thirsty. You don't grasp the fact that what is most alive of all is inside your own house, and you walk from one holy city to the next with a confused look." Kabir — the fifteenth century Indian mystic poet claimed simultaneously by Hindus, Muslims and Sikhs — saw it clearly. We are made of God's energy, sustained by God's energy at every moment. And somehow we're thirsty for what is nothing but- God's energy.  In this episode Raghunath and Kaustubha explore that image alongside Akrūra's journey to Vrindavan — and the four verses that summarize the entire Bhagavatam: God exists within everything and beyond everything. When you see without relation to him, know it as his illusory energy.  Today's episode is also a farewell. Gus — beloved dog, fixture of the podcast from its very beginning — prepares to depart with the blessing and love of devotees. May you go back to the Lord sweet Gus.

"Everything on the earth has a purpose. Every disease, an herb to cure it. And every person, a mission." Morning Dove — the first Native American women to publish a novel — called this the Indian theory of existence. In this episode Raghunath and Kaustubha explore that alongside Bhakti's idea of Dharma and its different levels - temporary and eternal. We all have to embrace different temporary roles, but beyond that there is a divine purpose that every living being shares.

Commonly people speak of time as measurements – days, months, years, etc. Philosophers speak of time as the force that moves — and ultimately crushes — what we measure. The Viking King of England, Canute, said: "Let all men know how empty and worthless is the power of kings." Our beauty, our influence, our position — it comes and it goes by the force of time. In this episode Raghunath and Kaustubha explore the power of time, the yogī's vision of sweet Krishna appearing as time personified, and how time is the enemy of the materialist and the friend of the spiritualist.

Mariano Rivera — the greatest closer in baseball history — was willing to teach his rivals exactly how to throw his most devastating pitch. He knew that, regardless of their strength or skill, unblessed they were blessed by God to throw they wouldn't be able to. The Stoics understood it. They called it "amor fati" — love of fate. There are things within our control and things outside our control. The wise person focuses entirely on what's within their control and releases entirely what's outside. In this episode Raghunath and Kaustubha explore how doing one's best and then accepting one's fate is favorable for Bhakti, alongside the Bhagavad-gīta's five factors of action and the Mahabharata's story of Drona, who taught the military arts to the student who he knew was fated to kill him.

People use religion it to feel superior, or to protect their position. The name and rituals remain. But the love is gone. "What passes as Christianity is a negation of the Sermon on the Mount." Gandhi wasn't rejecting Jesus — he was rejecting what had been done in his name. Something starts with a genuine God experience, rooted in love. Over time it gets warped — In this episode Raghunath and Kaustubha explore that pattern across traditions alongside Srimad Bhagavatam's telling of Aristiaura, a shapeshifter adopting the form of Dharma but sent to kill.

You need people who have everything to show you that everything is nothing. George Harrison had wealth, fame, mansions, cars — everything material desire could want. And he said just sitting down and chanting the Hare Krishna mantra gives more happiness than all of it. "The response that comes from chanting is bliss — a much higher taste than any happiness found in the material world." Raghunath and Kaustubha explore that alongside the Yugala Gīta — where the gopīs at the highest perfectional stage are doing exactly what George did on a boat with John Lennon sailing through the Greek islands. Glorifying Krishna. In bhakti, the means and the end are the same thing. Srimad Bhagavatam 10.35.20-26 ******************************************************************** LOVE THE PODCAST?

The majority of Americans say no one truly knows them. Research shows that warm, real connection correlates directly with physical health and peace of mind. We are relational beings by nature. The question is whether we've found the right object of love. Raghunath and Kaustubha explore that question alongside the Yugala Gīta — where Bhakti Vedānta paints a picture of spiritual relations in perfection: Krishna moving through the forest with his arm over the shoulder of an affectionate friend, wearing a garland of Tulsi flowers bearing the fragrance of his beloved, surrounded by cows, companions, and lovers, all drawn to him by different flavors of love. This is what we are built for. And it is an open invitation. Srimad Bhagavatam 10.35.12-19 ******************************************************************** LOVE THE PODCAST?

Many spiritual traditions lack a personal conception of the Divine. Other's do, but offer little description of what that means. The Bhakti tradition's Srimad Bhagavatam goes further — painting an incredibly detailed picture of the Absolute Truth, and doing it through poetic exchanges of love. In this episode Raghunath and Kaustubha enter Canto Ten, Chapter Thirty-Five — the Yugala Gīta. Pairs of verses, each describing Krishna in the forest, followed by the world's response to his beauty. The rivers tremble. The trees overflow with fruits and flowers. The bees sing to him — and he answers them with his flute. The cranes and swans close their eyes in deep meditation.

"I would believe only in a God who knows how to dance." Nietzsche didn't reject God — he rejected a God who was solemn, heavy and joyless. What he wanted was a God with joy in him. He had no idea that on the other side of the world, thousands of years before he was born, that God had already been described. Raghunath and Kaustubha explore George Harrison's idea that everybody is looking for Krishna – some just don't know it yet.

Studies show that beautiful people earn more, get hired faster, and receive lighter sentences in court. Beauty is power. But Dostoevsky saw the danger: "God and the devil are fighting there, and the battlefield is the heart of man." Beauty pulls in two directions — one kind inflates the ego and drags the consciousness down without you noticing, another makes you want to be better, kinder, more alive. In this episode Raghunath and Kaustubha explore that distinction — and the two very different ways the Vedantic traditions respond to it.

How does meditating on Krishna's romantic pastimes conquer lust? Not through repression — through a higher meditation. In classical yoga, the very first demand is to root out every vestige of erotic thought. With the meditators on Krishna, the romantic mood became the queen of all meditation. The gopīs' love is the diametric opposite of lust — being entirely selfless. Meditating on something so pure reprograms the heart from within — the counterfeit simply loses its pull. Raghunath and Kaustubha complete all five chapters of the Rāsa Līlā. Krishna's pastimes are not the product of material desire. They are its antidote. And anyone who hears them faithfully will attain pure devotion and quickly conquer the disease of the heart.

When we first find the spiritual path, we imitate. It's natural. We put on the costume before we've done the inner work. We adopt the style before we've absorbed the substance. We copy what we see in the saints and the sages — the dress, the language, the mood. But it's been said: "No man was ever great by imitation. Almost all absurdity of conduct arises from the imitation of those whom we cannot resemble." Raghunath and Kaustubha take that insight into one of the most important questions in the Bhagavatam: how could Krishna, the original speaker and guardian of morality, have a romantic relationship with so many girls? The answer extends to reframing who we are and what our purpose in life is. On the broadest level, the material world itself is the result of us imitating the Divine. That imitation produces absurdity and suffering. Returning to our natural position can be found through bhakti.
