Summary
Today’s star is tomorrow’s forgotten name. The powerful become powerless. The admired fade into obscurity. In this episode, Raghunath and Kaustubha break down the hard-hitting truths of the Śrīmad Bhāgavatam, revealing how even the greatest mystics and demigods are caught in this endless cycle of illusion. Through the story of Durvāsā Muni and King Ambarīṣa, we’ll see what happens when ego collides with reality—and how true greatness is found in humility, devotion, and connection with the Divine.
Key Takeaways:
🔄 Greatness is on rotation—you may be on top now, but it won’t last.
⚡ Even the most powerful beings bow before something greater.
🙏 The secret to breaking free from the illusion of self-importance.
💡 Why a devotee’s heart holds more power than any mystic ability.
Are you still clinging to a temporary throne? Or are you ready to step into something eternal?
