Wisdom of the Sages 1596: Desire, Folly, Regret & Ultimately....Transformation
Raghunath and Kaustubha dive into the comical yet piercingly honest downfall of King Yayāti and explore how the ancient Vedic culture didn’t just shame desire—it organized it, regulated it, and ultimately helped one transcended it. Drawing from the Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam, we uncover how real evolution begins not by denying our lower nature, but by accepting the guidance of wisdom tradition that helps us see through it.
Key Highlights: • Why the world makes you foolish when you chase desire The brilliance of varṇāśrama: not a box, but a ladder Why trying to be Krishna never works • Young Puru’s ultimate mic drop moment of detachment and devotion • Plus: How a hardcore cookbook made its way onto the show (Walk-On Wednesday… on a Friday) • And, Raghunath’s high school brawl over a mustached senior (seriously)
🎧 Listen in and laugh your way through lust, curses, wisdom, and the yogic path of real freedom.
