With their signature blend of humor and clarity, Raghunath and Kaustubha unpack a timeless spiritual principle: real transformation always involves a kind of death—of ego, comfort, or illusion. Drawing from the allegory of Krishna’s birth following the death of His six brothers, they explore how the destruction of our lower nature clears the way for divine consciousness to take birth in a purified mind and heart.
Key themes include:
• The cosmic law that death precedes rebirth
• The symbolism of Devakī’s six sons
• How ego resists—but ultimately must yield to—divine consciousness
• Self-surrender as the doorway to true spiritual life
• Preparing the heart as a sacred space for Krishna
SB 10.1.67-10.2.6
