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":"1775: When Krishna Closes One Door He Opens Another / Q&A Vol. 295","slug":"1775-when-krishna-closes-one-door-he-opens-another-q-a-vol-295","published_at":"2026-05-24T20:04:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/wisdom-of-the-sages-611126/1775-when-krishna-closes-one-door-he-opens-another-q-a-vol-295","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/wisdom-of-the-sages-611126","url":"https://wisdomofthesages.libsyn.com/1775-what-is-a-pure-devotee-qa-vol-295","audio_url":"https://traffic.libsyn.com/secure/wisdomofthesages/EP_1775_A_online-audio-converter.com.mp3?dest-id=1755320","summary":"Sometimes the thing that feels like a loss turns out to be the setup for something far better. In this special retreat Q&A from Super Soul Farm, Raghunath and Kaustubha share stories of how previous chapters in their own lives ended before the birth of the podcast. Both stories point to the same truth: when Krishna closes one door, he opens another. The episode also tackles one of the deepest questions in Vaishnava philosophy — where did we come from and why are we here? — with a humble, practical and reassuring answer. Plus Tulsi is taking over someone's Brooklyn garden and nobody's complaining. ******************************************************************** LOVE THE PODCAST?
