Summary
60,000 angry men attack a saint—and get reduced to ashes by their own ignorance – this epic tale from the Śrīmad Bhāgavatam becomes the backdrop for a powerful conversation on radical forgiveness, spiritual transformation, and the illusiory nature of enemies. Raghunath and Kaustubha unpack ancient wisdom through the lens of Lao Tzu, Martin Luther King Jr., and Nelson Mandela to reveal one unshakable truth: real sages see no enemies, only souls.
From corrupt olive oil empires to broken relationships, from ego battles to misused power—even from within religious life—this episode goes deep into how spiritual maturity always means rising above.
🎧 Episode Highlights:
• Why transformation matters more than happiness on the path of yoga
• Kapiladeva’s silent strength and what it teaches about divine vision
• Bhakti’s answer to cancel culture: love those who don’t love you back
• “Destroy your enemies… by making them your friends.”
🕉️ This is not just philosophy—it’s a revolution of the heart. Tap into the mindset of the sage and upgrade your spiritual operating system.
