## Resource

Every beautiful thing we encounter is a signal pointing somewhere. Our hunger for beauty isn't random — it can be read as a signal. In this episode Raghunath and Kaustubha explore where that signal leads — through the Srimad Bhagavatam's Rāsa Līlā, where the gopīs of Vrindavan lose themselves so completely in love for Krishna that they begin acting out his pastimes, declaring to one another: I am Krishna. This is the highest limit of transcendental love. And unlike every beautiful thing in this world, it never fades. Srimad Bhagavatam 10.30.12-23 ******************************************************************** LOVE THE PODCAST? WE ARE COMMUNITY SUPPORTED AND WOULD LOVE FOR YOU TO JOIN!
