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":"1785: Direction Will Come to You | Phil Jackson and the Heart of Bhakti","slug":"1785-direction-will-come-to-you-phil-jackson-and-the-heart-of-bhakti","published_at":"2026-06-24T14:50:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/wisdom-of-the-sages-611126/1785-direction-will-come-to-you-phil-jackson-and-the-heart-of-bhakti","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/wisdom-of-the-sages-611126","url":"https://wisdomofthesages.libsyn.com/1785-direction-will-come-to-you-phil-jackson-and-the-heart-of-bhakti","audio_url":"https://traffic.libsyn.com/secure/wisdomofthesages/EP_1785_A_online-audio-converter.com_1.mp3?dest-id=1755320","summary":"Phil Jackson won eleven championship rings — the most of any coach in NBA history. His secret wasn't more effort. It was less noise. \"If you have a clear mind and an open heart, you won't have to search for direction. Direction will come to you.\" In this episode Raghunath and Kaustubha explore that insight alongside one of the most beautiful verses in the bhakti tradition: pure love for Krishna is not something to be gained from outside. It is eternally present in the heart. The practice of bhakti — hearing, chanting, remembering — doesn't import something new. It removes what's covering what was always already there.
