RAGHUNATH CAPPO & KAUSTUBHA DAS
About this episode

spiritual life means facing one's own mortality / we don't own nothin / cutting away false identities / if I start from the false premise that I am my body then all my ideas for happiness, groundedness, peace, fun and deep-rooted pleasure are actually all askew / we call each other prabhu (master) /  angels, ouija boards, magic 8 balls, and Paramanda's exorcism / the yuga cycles are always turning / Krishna's just having fun loving interludes - the purusha avatars and the guna avatars take care of business / the 4 kumaras, Narada, Nara Narayana Rishi, and is Vyasadeva still alive?
