Summary

In this eye-opening episode, Raghunath and guest co-host Jiva G dive deep into the hidden roots of addiction, attachment, and self-sabotage through the lens of bhakti. Drawing from the story of Maharaja Ambarish and the transformative insights of the 12 Steps, they explore how true renunciation isn’t about leaving the world behind—it’s about untangling the knots of the heart.

Key Highlights:
🔥 Why real renunciation happens within, not just by walking away.
🌀 The surprising link between addiction, resentment, and spiritual stagnation.
🕉️ Devotees may take no offense—but Krishna does.
❤️ How self-forgiveness and surrender unlock the path to real freedom.

If you’ve ever felt trapped by your own mind or weighed down by past mistakes, this episode will challenge your perspective and inspire a new way forward.
