In this wildly entertaining episode of Wisdom of the Sages, Raghunath and Kaustubha return from their whirlwind retreat and European adventure to tackle what really brings happiness and success—and why chasing them is a losing game. With a healthy dose of humor and wisdom (and a few “squirrel-level-three” tangents), they explore Victor Frankl’s profound insight: that fulfillment comes not by pursuing it directly, but by dedicating yourself to something higher.
From “getting chieft” in Italy to a Krishna miracle in Bosnia to the cows, sages, and values that uphold a spiritual civilization, this episode is packed with laughs, life lessons, and even some Tony Robbins shoutouts.
Key Highlights:
* Why even demons need a pep talk sometimes (and what we can learn from it).
* The rip current of bhakti—and how it sweeps unsuspecting spouses & teenagers into the ocean of devotion.
* Scrooge McDuck, hardcore kids, and the real meaning of success.
* How cows, Brahmins, and good values quietly keep the world sane.
* Why Prabhupāda’s devotees were “really hard to snap” (and what that says about true conviction).
* “Squirrels Without Borders”—the new foundation no one asked for but everyone needs.
