1699: Gratitude: A Full-On Rebellion Aga...

RAGHUNATH CAPPO & KAUSTUBHA DAS
About this episode

Gratitude isn't feel-good fluff—it's a full-on rebellion against illusion. In this episode, Raghunath and Mara weave together Charles Dickens, modern cognitive science, and Brahmā's prayers to Krishna to show how redirecting the mind toward blessings transforms your entire inner landscape. From frequency illusion and "Kia consciousness" to humility, appreciation, and seeing God's hand everywhere, this is a bhakti-centric reset of how to live, perceive, and move forward.
