Wisdom of the Sages

purusha & prakriti / I'm a tiny speck but I have worth through dharma / the bad odor of religion / reading regularly chips away at our bad thinking / the arrogance of thinking there is nothing beyond us / seeing the divine though nature / creation stories - where do we place our faith / when we approach the Bhagavatam with a pure motive Krishna captures our heart / the Supersoul is giving advice within / heaven and hell on earth / Brahma is born from the navel of Vishnu and the Devas are empowered with universal responsibility / Krishna's only concern is sweet loving adventures / an enlightened being is free of attachment, fear and anger / Srimad Bhagavatam is the commentary of the Vedanta Sutra by the author himself / and other topics with Raghunath & Kaustubha

as long as I'm complaining I'll never be able to go within / what good is philosophy if it has no practical application? / tolerance is a key to meditation - big deal if you can do lotus / what is real surrender / #radicalresponsability / don't go wide, go deep / don't try to see God - but act in such a way where God will see you / Raghunath, why are you yelling at God? / the entire yoga system can be seen as a way of purifying our intention / yoga, the Vedas, knowledge, dharma, etc. are meant for realizing Vasudeva / and other discussions with Raghunath Cappo & Kaustubha Das

My kids should change! / harmonizing the ego with the self through karma-yoga / different types of liberation / every object is radiating the influence of one of the three gunas (modes of nature) / passion sandwich - keeping the mornings and evenings sattvic / connect with Laxmi or Radha - #dontsacrificegoats and other topics with Raghunath Cappo and Kaustubha Das

The material world is fools gold / willingly limiting oneself / knowledge is born of sattva / Loosening the knot in the heart which forces us to identify with the body / bring the unsteady mind back under the control of the self / the richness of Indian-Vedic Culture / beauty is skin deep / what is Vishnu tattva / Vishnu is the soul of the universe

Discussion regarding curing abnormal tendencies towards Illusion through hearing truth, genuine radical responsibility, the real blessings on the yoga path, the Paramatama, the cleansing of the heart step by step thorough Bhakti Yoga beginning with faith and ending in Divine love, on the spiritual level the form is less important than the substance, getting connected to the electric charge of spiritual power, doing kirtan in public, and the value of serving great souls and other fun with Raghunath & Kaustubha.

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.

Raghunath & Kaustubha discuss how the mind is going to get addicted to something - so choose the addictions that lead to getting grounded, connected, and liberated, through Bhakti Yoga. 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).

Raghunath Cappo & Kaustubha Das discuss transcendental sound, true happiness as an internal experience, the material world as a warped reflection, expanding the space between stimulus and response through sattvic yoga lifestyle, and Raghu's fat head. (Covers Srimad Bhagavatam 1.1.12-1.1.19)

"Yoga is a practice which empowers one to overcome the obstacle of the mind, for the purpose of the self experiencing it's own true nature." The sages of the Srimad Bhagavatam place their questions to the learned and saintly Suta Goswami, including how the people of our difficult age can find atma suprasidati, complete satisfaction of the self. (covers Srimad Bhagavatam 1.1.4-1.1.11)

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)
