Wisdom of the Sages 1604: Shining Light on the Shadows Within: Carl Jung Meets the Wisdom of Bhakti
Misunderstood warriors, falsely accused maidens, hardhearted mystic yogis, remorseful sages, sex-addicted kings— The stories of the Ninth Canto of the Bhāgavatam reflect not just historical characters, but the shadows we all carry within.
At the cusp of entering the climactic Tenth Canto, Raghunath and Kaustubha review the string of stories leading up to it. With a little help from Carl Jung, they unpack a core principle often echoed in the bhakti tradition: while the path is centered on divine light, the great bhakti-yogis never ignored the shadows in their own hearts.
🌀 Key Highlights:
• Carl Jung meets the Bhāgavatam—why even saints have shadows to acknowledge • “No regrets” culture vs. the spiritual remorse of real yogis • How the flaws of kings became fuel for transformation • Bhajana-kriyā to anartha-nivṛtti: what inner work really looks like on the bhakti path • Why the Ninth Canto isn’t just a list of names—it’s a mirror for the heart
🎧 Listen now and reflect—because bhakti begins where pretense ends.
