Before there were influencers, there was the sage Vyāsa—the original content creator. In this episode, Raghunath and Kaustubha stand at the threshold of Vyāsa's ultimate contribution: the telling of Krishna's pastimes in the Tenth Canto of the Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam. But before Krishna enters the stage, they explore what makes these narratives far more than mythology. These aren't just quaint stories or cultural folklore—they're the ultimate object of awareness - living streams of divine sound, expertly composed to reprogram the mind, dissolve the thirst for material life and satisfy the innner self. ⸻ 🔹 Key Highlights: • Why scrolling culture is drying us out—and what to do about it • Vyāsa as the O.G. spiritual content creator • What cult accusations, punk shows, and smoke-filled deprogramming cabins reveal about the power of Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam The verse that shook a cynic: "Yeah… I read the first canto. That book changed me." SB 9.24.60-62 ********************************************************************* LOVE THE PODCAST? WE ARE COMMUNITY SUPPORTED AND WOULD LOVE FOR YOU TO JOIN!
