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":"1794: Jñāna & Bhakti: Both Bring Detachment, One Does It Beautifully","slug":"1794-j-na-bhakti-both-bring-detachment-one-does-it-beautifully","published_at":"2026-07-14T14:48:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/wisdom-of-the-sages-611126/1794-j-na-bhakti-both-bring-detachment-one-does-it-beautifully","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/wisdom-of-the-sages-611126","url":"https://wisdomofthesages.libsyn.com/1794-jna-bhakti-both-bring-detachment-one-does-it-beautifully","audio_url":"https://traffic.libsyn.com/secure/wisdomofthesages/EP_179A1_A_online-audio-converter.com.mp3?dest-id=1755320","summary":"\"Love separates all things from the soul.\" Meister Eckhart — fourteenth century Christian mystic, so radical the Pope investigated him for heresy — arrived at the same place as the Bhakti Vedāntins. Both jñāna and bhakti dissolve material attachment. Jñāna does it through relentless intellectual negation. Bhakti does it through love. And love, as the Rāsa Dance shows, does it beautifully. In this episode Raghunath and Kaustubha continue through Canto Ten, Chapter Thirty-Three — Krishna caressing the tired gopīs' faces, the demigods showering flowers from their airplanes, Krishna and the gopīs entering the Yamuna together under the autumn moon. The highest object of meditation, delivered into this universe so we would stop looking for love and beauty in all the wrong places.
