Summary
This episode begins with a sober heart. A dear member of the Wisdom of the Sages community was caught in the middle of the earthquake that struck Caracas — calling from the nineteenth floor of her building as it shook, then silence, then a single word: evacuating. In a city already crushed by corruption, inflation and instability, thousands are now without safe shelter, food or water. Raghunath and Kaustubha open the show with prayers, reflections on the fragility of our bubble of safety, and the one thing that holds when everything else gives way. Then they enter one of the most treasured verses in all the Bhagavatam — sung by the gopīs in separation – explaining that Krishna's words and the descriptions of His activities are the life and soul of those suffering in this material world. Srimad Bhagavatam 10.31.3-9 ******************************************************************** LOVE THE PODCAST? WE ARE COMMUNITY SUPPORTED AND WOULD LOVE FOR YOU TO JOIN!
