Summary
When your spiritual ideals meet your messy, modern life—what gives? In this live Q & A episode, Raghunath and Kaustubha tackle real-world questions from sincere seekers navigating work, relationships, insecurity, and the struggle for spiritual progress. With wisdom, clarity, and plenty of humor, they explore how Bhakti yoga applies when the employees let you down, the self-doubt runs deep, and the to-do list feels longer than the Ganges.
Key Highlights:
• My contract with my employee vs my contract with the Universe
• Can Bhakti heal your emotional wounds—or is that your therapist’s job?
• “I’m not the Spiller!”—Raghunath gets cornered by family karma
• How to climb out of your own karmic hole (and invite others to your cloud)
• What to prioritize in a full, chaotic life—and why India may be the next step
Join the community of thousands tuning in daily for authentic, accessible yoga wisdom that meets you where you are—and points you toward where you want to go.
🎧 Listen now and let the transformation begin.
