1661: Bhakti Means Love, and Love Overpo...

RAGHUNATH CAPPO & KAUSTUBHA DAS
About this episode

The Supreme Truth—eternal, formless yet personal, beyond time and space—gets tied up with a rope. In this rich and revealing episode, Raghunath and Kaustubha explore how love alone—not ritual, renunciation, or knowledge—can bind the Absolute. Featuring insights from Jesuit mysticism, Krishna’s childhood pastimes, and a few insects with questionable IQs.

🌀 Topics include:
* Why the most advanced yogis can’t catch what a mother’s love can
* Love as the ultimate conclusion of Vedanta
* Mascara, butter theft, and the metaphysics of kajal
* Damodara-līlā and the yoga of divine intimacy

🎧 Tune in and rediscover yoga’s greatest secret: only love delivers the soul.
