We try to avoid thinking about death. We push it into the background of our minds. But beneath the surface of our thoughts there is a quiet "hum" of mortality creating an undercurrent of anxiety.
In this episode of Wisdom of the Sages, a deeply personal reflection on aging, grief, and mortality opens into a powerful exploration of spiritual philosophy. Raghunath and Kaustubha explain that the only way to quiet that hum is not by ignoring it, but by confronting it with truth — truth about the nature of the self and the liberating insights of Vedic wisdom.
The discussion also explores one of the most mysterious teachings of the Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam — an ancient Sanskrit text that explores devotion to Krishna and the nature of the soul: the story of the gopīs — the cowherd women of Vrindavan whose hearts were completely absorbed in Krishna. Their vulnerability reveals the essence of devotion — surrendering the ego and awakening divine love. After the official podcast ends, the tapes keep rolling for some relaxed and entertaining post-podcast banter
