In this deeply personal Q&A Volume 292, Raghunath and Kaustubha respond to a listener struggling with inferiority, comparison, trauma, and the fear of being left behind in love and life—unpacking how bhakti can reframe self-worth, karma, and the hunger for validation at the root. Along the way, they touch on how ancient rituals adapt in the modern world, and what it actually feels like to carry the responsibility of being a guru. Honest, raw, and spiritually sharp, this episode exposes why no amount of external success can heal the soul—and where real shelter is actually found. ******************************************************************** LOVE THE PODCAST?
