Learn about dharma, yoga, bhakti, and how it relates to all the basic questions of life. This show is about how to live your best life, let go of the external distractions, and uncover the spiritual happiness that lies within the heart as the true nature of the soul. Raghunath and Kaustubha's connection goes back to their teens in the New York Hardcore Punk Scene of the early 80s, through serving together as Bhakti-yogi monks in the 90's, to sharing their experiences in the world of yoga in the 21st century.","last_synced_at":"2026-07-15T04:17:18.519728+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/wisdom-of-the-sages-611126"},"episode":{"title":"1770: The Mind of the Buddha, The Mind of the Gopī","slug":"1770-the-mind-of-the-buddha-the-mind-of-the-gop","published_at":"2026-05-14T12:56:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/wisdom-of-the-sages-611126/1770-the-mind-of-the-buddha-the-mind-of-the-gop","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/wisdom-of-the-sages-611126","url":"https://wisdomofthesages.libsyn.com/1770-the-mind-of-the-buddha-the-mind-of-the-gop","audio_url":"https://traffic.libsyn.com/secure/wisdomofthesages/EP_1770_A_online-audio-converter.com_1.mp3?dest-id=1755320","summary":"Buddhism and Bhaktivedanta share a lot of common ground. Both embrace the same radical insight — that the mind is the architect of our experience, and that what we feed it determines the life we live. But in this episode Raghunath and Kaustubha explore where Bhakti takes it one step further. Buddhism negates the names and forms of matter, freeing the mind from attachment, pointing toward liberation. Bhakti provides the positive side. Not just improved wellbeing. Not just liberation. The prema prayojana — the full awakening of divine love. The Srimad Bhagavatam shows us what that looks like through the gopis – always focused on the meditation's highest object. When they hear Krishna's flute they leave everything behind and refuse all callings to turn back. Srimad Bhagavatam 10.29.5-9 ******************************************************************** LOVE THE PODCAST? WE ARE COMMUNITY SUPPORTED AND WOULD LOVE FOR YOU TO JOIN!
