Summary

This episode blends sacred aesthetics, urban design, dharmic leadership, and bhakti wisdom into one compelling conversation. A perfect listen for seekers, city dwellers, and anyone wondering why the world feels off—and how to realign it.

Raghunath and Kaustubha explore a luminous vision of divine-centered living from the Śrīmad Bhāgavatam—where elephants spray perfume, love flows between citizens and leaders, and the architecture reflects a sacred inner life. But this isn’t just some mythic utopia. It’s a blueprint.

Key Highlights:
* Simone Weil’s insight: “To be rooted is perhaps the most important and least recognized need of the human soul.”
* What Ayodhya, Delhi and the Cross Bronx Expressway tell us about spiritual disconnection
* The loop of degradation—and how to break it
* Lessons from Christian cathedrals, Hindu temples

🎧 Tune in now and rediscover what society looks like when it’s built around the sacred root.
