Summary
The sacred isn’t far away, or locked away in a temple, a ritual, or some otherworldly realm. The sacred is the invisible thread running through the entire tapestry of life—right here, right now.
In this deeply reflective episode, Raghunath and Kaustubha explore the Vedic concept of otam-protam—the warp and weft of reality—revealing how divinity is interwoven through every moment, every element, every being. From the descent of the sacred Ganges to the subtle presence of God in all things, this episode invites you to shift your lens and recognize the divine fabric behind the visible world.
Also featured is a moving tribute to Al Barile of SSD—a hardcore punk pioneer whose unexpected connection to the Bhāgavatam is a reminder that even the toughest exteriors can carry a sincere spiritual search within.
Key Highlights:
• What “warp and weft” teaches us about the nature of reality
• C.S. Lewis on the God who walks everywhere incognito
• Why seeing God in everything is the highest yoga
• How the Ganga purifies not just bodies, but the mind and heart
• Al Barile’s surprising connection to bhakti and the search for truth
Whether you’re walking through a city street, sitting in nature, or standing in a mosh pit—the thread of the sacred is already there. Learn to see it.
