Summary

This Q&A episode offers a bold reminder: a deep and transformational spiritual experience isn’t reserved for mystics in the mountains—it’s available to you right now, anywhere.

Kaustubha and guest Co-host Kishori Gopi unpack the Bhagavad-gītā’s ancient key to overcoming seasonal depression, emotional heaviness, and the constant ups and downs of modern life: detachment from the shifting mind, and connection to the ever-radiant soul within.

Learn how simply observing your thoughts and emotions—rather than identifying with them—is not just mindfulness, but a moment of true spiritual awakening.

Also in this episode:
* What the Gītā says about seasonal sadness and inner stability
* The profound power of stepping back from the mind and witnessing the soul
* How weather, darkness, and emotional struggle can become fuel for real growth
* How to raise God-connected kids in challenging circumstances
* Navigating Catholicism, Krishna bhakti

Whether your long winter is literal or emotional—this episode will help you rediscover your luminosity and find clarity on how to guide others, especially your children, toward the same.

🎧 Tune in now and learn how to access what’s already within you.

0:00.0	The whole thing looks depressing.
0:02.3	And then you take off.
0:03.3	And at a certain moment, you break through the clouds.
0:05.7	And suddenly it's a beautiful, brilliant, bright day.
0:09.0	Yeah.
0:09.6	Just on the other side of those clouds.
0:12.3	And it kind of makes you realize, like, oh, the sun is always shining.
0:17.1	It's always bright.
0:17.8	It's always luminous.
0:19.3	I just occasionally find myself underneath the
0:21.8	clouds. Right. And just being reminded of that as you as you rise above the clouds is an
0:29.0	interesting experience. And it is something that gives us the capacity to realize that my emotions are like these clouds that float by one moment and then
0:41.7	they're gone or that I can intentionally rise above at any moment because the sun of the soul
0:49.0	is always shining it's just that we're not facing it. We're looking at the mind instead, you know.

1:01.0	warmth of the soul, you know, our true nature is always there.
1:05.0	We are just not focused on it.
1:08.0	We learn to become focused on it by one tolerating the shifts, the shifts in matter,
1:15.6	even the emotional shifts that are tied to the shifts in matter. When we, in one sense,
1:20.6	we have to learn to not grant them the importance that we grant them. To us, it's everything.
1:24.6	Our emotions are everything. But when we say those emotions are not me, those emotions are shifts in the mind that are tied to shifts in the external matter.
1:39.7	And they're not me.
