Summary

Bhakti rituals have long been misunderstood—written off as primitive or irrelevant in the modern world. But beneath the surface, these practices contain a refined science of inner renewal and spiritual elevation. In this episode of Wisdom of the Sages, Raghunath and Kaustubha dive deep into the profound wisdom of devotional rituals, revealing how they serve as a gateway to sacred time, purifying the heart and mind. Drawing from the Śrīmad Bhāgavatam and the insights of Romanian religious scholar Mircea Eliade, they uncover the forgotten power of worship in breaking free from the constraints of ordinary perception.

🔹 Key Highlights:
•⁠  ⁠Why ancient rituals aren’t superstition but a means of accessing transcendence.
•⁠  ⁠Maharaj Ambarish—how a great king ruled the world without being ruled by it.
•⁠  ⁠Bhakti’s secret: How engaging the senses in devotion liberates rather than binds.
•⁠  ⁠The forgotten purpose of festivals, temple worship, and spiritual gatherings.

Join the conversation as we challenge modern assumptions and reveal how sacred ritual, when practiced with devotion, brings about real inner transformation.

0:08.7

And he's coming away from it, you know, say, oh, I can see what they're doing in those temples.

0:13.0

You know, they had this theory, which is as good as any other theory out there, right?

0:19.2

That we're not exactly in reality, that there's a more real world that we're not in right now.

0:25.0

And we're caught on this kind of like a hamster wheel kind of thing of time that just

0:32.4

keeps spinning and spinning and spinning and spinning.

0:34.1

And they're saying that there's a realm without time.

And when they do their ritual, they're stepping back out like with internally, maybe externally they can't take

0:46.7

their body exactly out of time. But internally, what they're trying to do is make their internal

world step outside of time and exist in the realm beyond time, in the spiritual realm.
