Modern spirituality often says yoga is all about the journey. But is that what the ancient teachings really meant?
In this focused and eye-opening Q & A episode, Kaustubha explores samÄdhi and the true aim of yoga. Drawing from the Upanishads and Bhakti tradition, he reveals how yoga isnât aimlessâitâs intentional, transformational, and love-driven.

What Youâll Learn:
â˘â â The real goal of samÄdhi and how yoga stays focused
â˘â â Why Krishna asks for everythingâand how itâs not about ego
â˘â â How even negative emotions can purify when directed toward God
â˘â â Shishupalaâs surprising liberation through hatred
â˘â â Why Krishnaâs confidence isnât arroganceâand what it means for usThis isnât vague spiritualismâitâs grounded wisdom for the seeker who wants clarity, depth, and a target worth aiming for.
Listen now and rediscover why loveâwith directionâis the heart of yoga.

Could ancient yogis have tapped into a science we still donât understand? Mystical experiencesâlike hearing divine messages within the heartâmay sound like fantasy today, but 300 years ago a FaceTime call wouldâve seemed like wizardry.
Arthur C. Clarke famously said, âAny sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.â In this episode, Raghunath and Kaustubha explore how imagination and humility may be the keys to rediscovering spiritual truths often mistaken for myth.
Highlights include:
â˘â â Why Einstein called imagination more important than knowledge
â˘â â Yoga maya vs. Maha maya: illusion that either binds or liberates
â˘â â Why Krishna never incarnates aloneâand who He brings with Him
â˘â â Debunking the debunkers: why unseen doesnât mean unreal
â˘â â Raghunathâs mantra for spiritual openness: âCould be.âTune in as ancient stories, modern minds, and timeless truths come together in the pages of the ĹrÄŤmad BhÄgavatam.

One of the most sacred dynamics in all of yoga culture - the relationship between teacher and studentâhas become both feared and misunderstood as itâs been transferred from India to the West. In this potent episode, Raghunath and Kaustubha explore how spiritual truth flows not from information alone, but from affection, humility, and mutual sincerity.

Key Highlights:
â˘â â âVictim mentality kills growth.â
â˘â â A lesson from MahÄbhÄrata: If you canât find someone better than you, youâre probably not looking hard enough

Thereâs a big difference between asking, âHow can I change this?â and asking, âWhat am I meant to learn from this?â In this episode, Raghunath and Kaustubha explore how asking bigger, zoomed-out questions can unlock real transformationâand how Krishnaâs pastimes, far from being mere spiritual folklore, offer the deepest answers to the soulâs most urgent needs. They discuss how these pastimes are meant to be approached not just through a religious lens, but through an ontological, metaphysical, and Vedantic oneâand thatâs when their true power is revealed.
Key Highlights:
â˘â â How shallow questions keep us stuck, and zoomed-out questions can set us free
â˘â â Why good questions arenât always comfortableâbut they crack things open
â˘â â How to identify lifeâs summum bonumâand reorient everything around it
â˘â â Seeing Krishnaâs life through a metaphysical lensânot just a religious one
â˘â â The danger of a life built on speed and comfort, but no directionSB 10.1.1-8

Before there were influencers, there was the sage VyÄsaâthe original content creator.
In this episode, Raghunath and Kaustubha stand at the threshold of VyÄsaâs ultimate contribution: the telling of Krishnaâs pastimes in the Tenth Canto of the ĹrÄŤmad-BhÄgavatam. But before Krishna enters the stage, they explore what makes these narratives far more than mythology. These arenât just quaint stories or cultural folkloreâtheyâre the ultimate object of awareness - living streams of divine sound, expertly composed to reprogram the mind, dissolve the thirst for material life and satisfy the innner self.
⸝
đš Key Highlights:
â˘â â Why scrolling culture is drying us outâand what to do about it
â˘â â VyÄsa as the O.G. spiritual content creator
â˘â â What cult accusations, punk shows, and smoke-filled deprogramming cabins reveal about the power of ĹrÄŤmad-BhÄgavatamThe verse that shook a cynic: âYeah⌠I read the first canto. That book changed me.â

Misunderstood warriors, falsely accused maidens, hardhearted mystic yogis, remorseful sages, sex-addicted kingsâ The stories of the Ninth Canto of the BhÄgavatam reflect not just historical characters, but the shadows we all carry within.
At the cusp of entering the climactic Tenth Canto, Raghunath and Kaustubha review the string of stories leading up to it. With a little help from Carl Jung, they unpack a core principle often echoed in the bhakti tradition: while the path is centered on divine light, the great bhakti-yogis never ignored the shadows in their own hearts.
đ Key Highlights:
â˘â â Carl Jung meets the BhÄgavatamâwhy even saints have shadows to acknowledge
â˘â â âNo regretsâ culture vs. the spiritual remorse of real yogis
â˘â â How the flaws of kings became fuel for transformation
â˘â â Bhajana-kriyÄ to anartha-niváštti: what inner work really looks like on the bhakti path
â˘â â Why the Ninth Canto isnât just a list of namesâitâs a mirror for the heartđ§ Listen now and reflectâbecause bhakti begins where pretense ends.

Indian hospitality, the soft heart of a mother, and the Dog-Man of Tompkins Square Park all intersect in this powerful exploration of yoga. Drawing from the Maha Upanishad and the insight of Albert Schweitzer, Raghunath and Kaustubha unpack a central bhakti truth: that genuine love of God expresses itself as compassion for all living beingsânot just the ones who vote like you, think like you, or smell like you.
At the heart of this episode is the unforgettable tale of King Rantideva from the ĹrÄŤmad BhÄgavatamâa king whose radical acts of generosity and deep spiritual faith push us to reconsider what it really means to live a spiritual life.
đ Key Highlights:
â˘â â âVasudhaiva Kutumbakamâ â The Maha Upanishadâs timeless call to expand the borders of your compassion
â˘â â How great spiritualists experience sufferingâand transform it into compassion
â˘â â The real yoga test: when your food is hot, your stomach is empty, and a stranger knocks on the door (with dogs)
â˘â â Why bhakti doesnât exist without compassionđď¸âđ¨ď¸ Real peace begins when we expand the circle. If your yoga isnât transforming how you see others, itâs time to go deeper.

Your mind is like an algorithm. Click on lust, fear, or resentmentâand guess what shows up on your mental feed? In this episode, Raghunath and Kaustubha explore Yoga is a way to reset the algorithm, and explore the mind as both a garden and a walled city with guarded gates.
Drawing from James Allenâs classic As a Man Thinketh and the final verses of King YayÄtiâs transformation in the ĹrÄŤmad BhÄgavatam, they unpack how thought is causal, attention is destiny, and bhakti is the ultimate reprogramming of the heart.
đ Key Highlights:â˘â â James Allen meets the Bhagavatam: âPlant good seeds or get weeds. Period.â
â˘â â Guard the gates of the senses like your mental Wi-Fi password
â˘â â Why you should probably skip that luxury cruise and chant instead

Ancient yoga texts call it sama-darshanaâequal vision. Itâs the ability to see the soul in every being, regardless of their body, background, or even behavior. And according to the sages, itâs not just a lofty ideaâitâs the very foundation of a life well-lived.
Hereâs the twist: itâs not just the moral thing to doâitâs the key to happiness, peace of mind, and, ultimately, a graceful exit from this world. In contrast, the pursuit of material fulfillment becomes a path of emptiness.
Listen in as Raghunath and Kaustubha reflect on the yogiâs mindset: to live in a way that places no one else in difficulty, and to love in a way that clears the heart of all fear and resentment.
Key Highlights:
â˘â â Sama-darshanaâthe yogic practice of seeing beyond externals
â˘â â Why a life of non-harm and kindness clears the path to liberation
â˘â â âMy name is King Yayati, and Iâm a sex addict.â
â˘â â How material desire drives us to harm even those we love
â˘â â How spiritual vision helps us let goâwithout fear or bitterness
â˘â â And how chasing sense gratification will make a goat out of us. đ (and not the good kind of GOAT)This episode is a call to shift how we see the worldâand how we live in it.

Politics shift, bodies age, relationships breakâwe see the surface, the temporary illusion. Yogis look deeper to see the eternal reality behind it all.
In this episode, Raghunath and Kaustubha explore how sacred textsâthe Bhagavad GÄŤtÄ, ĹrÄŤmad BhÄgavatam, the Rig Veda, and the New Testamentâurge us to fix our vision on the eternal. From pearls resting on a hidden thread to the saintsâ constant gaze toward the divine, these traditions all point to the same truth: whatâs real canât always be seen with the eyes - so look deeper though the eyes of knowledge.
Key Highlights:
â˘â â Pearls and cloudsâwhat the sages say about what really holds life together
â˘â â The world is a stereogram - keep staring into it and eventually the vision pops
â˘â â Kaustubhaâs near bike-lane road rage (he almost lost it.)

Gatorade-stained beard? Check. All-night emergency room visit? Check. Spiritual wake-up call in aisle 12? Double check. But behind Raghunathâs dizzy spell and collapse on the floor of Home Depot lies a far more universal theme: our desperate urge to avoid silence, stillness, and the terrifying weight of our own inner emptiness.
Drawing from Blaise Pascalâs haunting insightâthat âall of humanityâs problems stem from manâs inability to sit quietly in a room aloneââRaghunath and Kaustubha explore how distraction and diversion keep us from doing the inner work that leads to peace, purpose, and awakening.
Also: a peaceful garden walk devolves into a warrior princess throw-down.
Key Highlights:
â˘â â Is that spiritual ecstasy⌠or dangerously low blood sugar?
â˘â â Why we flee silenceâand how it sabotages our spiritual evolution
â˘â â Pascal meets the BhÄgavatam: diversion as the disease of our age
â˘â â When status, envy, and petty revenge collideâancient wisdom, high-school drama
â˘â â Level up before the universe has to shove you downđ§ Listen now and reflect on whatâs really keeping you from peaceâbefore your next wake-up call comes in the plumbing aisle.
