Episode 1635: Krishna's First Words Reveal the Missing Ingredient in Spiritual Practice
In one of the most powerful moments of the Śrīmad Bhāgavatam, Krishna speaks for the first time—and what He says sheds light on the real aim of yoga, austerity, and spiritual discipline.
Raghunath and Kaustubha, joined by Radhanath Swami in the studio, unpack this pivotal teaching: that it's not the practice alone that transforms us, but the devotion that infuses it. Without bhakti, even the most intense austerity leaves us spiritually unfulfilled. With it, every action becomes divine.
Tune in for deep insights into Krishna's words, reflections on a moving initiation ceremony, and an honest look at what makes spiritual life real, sweet, and powerful.
