20: Raghunath's Dating Advice for Yogis

RAGHUNATH CAPPO & KAUSTUBHA DAS
About this episode

It’s all one – but it’s different too / our objective and subjective faith / Krishna comes as Chaitanya to understand the love of the Gopis / Hunuman’s incarnation in Chaitanya’s pastimes / spiritual knowledge descends - you don’t climb up to it / positive peer pressure in spiritual community / real friends share our values and lift us up / dating advice from Raghunath / Bhagavatam is not just a book, it’s a person / letting go of bad habits one step at a time / Don’t be a frog in the well - broaden your mind / Vyasadeva spoke Bhagavatam to Sukadeva who spoke it to Maharaja Pariksit - Suta Goswami overheard it and spoke it to the sages in the forest called Naimisarana / Bhagavatm is the cream or ripened fruit of all the Vedic literature / bogus Bhagavatam reciters / Mahabharata - the best story you will ever read! / parampara - chain of discipline succession / Srimad Bhagavatam is a brilliant as the sun /
