Truths about life from the timeless wisdom of the Bhakti-yoga tradition - fun, relevant, and deep. Learn about dharma, yoga, bhakti, and how it relates to all the basic questions of life. This show is about how to live your best life, let go of the external distractions, and uncover the spiritual happiness that lies within the heart as the true nature of the soul. Raghunath and Kaustubha's connection goes back to their teens in the New York Hardcore Punk Scene of the early 80s, through serving together as Bhakti-yogi monks in the 90's, to sharing their experiences in the world of yoga in the 21st century.

1733: How Krishna Bhakti Went Global (No Money, No Plan, Just Faith)
Episode 1733
Thursday, 12 February, 2026

Krishna bhakti went global not through wealth, planning, or infrastructure, but through faith — the kind of faith that sends teenagers across oceans with no money, no guarantees, and no backup plan. In this episode, recorded at Govardhan Eco Village, Raghunath speaks with Mahāmāyā and Bali Mardana, whose personal memories reveal the unpredictable, humorous, and deeply human early days of the Hare Krishna movement — a time when chanting became survival, surrender became strength, and Śrīla Prabhupāda's presence inspired ordinary people to attempt extraordinary things. ******************************************************************** LOVE THE PODCAST?
