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":"1783: Keeping the Bhakti Romance Alive / Q&A Vol. 296","slug":"1783-keeping-the-bhakti-romance-alive-q-a-vol-296","published_at":"2026-06-13T13:42:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/wisdom-of-the-sages-611126/1783-keeping-the-bhakti-romance-alive-q-a-vol-296","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/wisdom-of-the-sages-611126","url":"https://wisdomofthesages.libsyn.com/1783-keeping-the-bhakti-romance-alive-qa-vol-296","audio_url":"https://traffic.libsyn.com/secure/wisdomofthesages/EP_1783_A_online-audio-converter.com.mp3?dest-id=1755320","summary":"How do you keep bhakti fresh, sweet and progressive for the rest of your life — fueled by genuine love rather than institutional guilt or a rigid checklist? In this special Q&A episode recorded live in Torgau, Germany with the Shelter crew, Raghunath and Kaustubha tackle that question alongside two others that go just as deep. What remains of our relationship with Krishna when everything we identify with falls away? And what is your favorite place in Vrindavan — and what made it that? The answers range from practical to profound. ******************************************************************** LOVE THE PODCAST? WE ARE COMMUNITY SUPPORTED AND WOULD LOVE FOR YOU TO JOIN!
