Namaste everybody, it's Raganath, and I want to announce my autumn pilgrimage 2025 to sacred India.

Tons of Kirtan, tons of Bhakti.

It is my great passion and pleasure to take people to sacred cities, sacred rivers, sacred people,

and of course, amazing vegetarian and vegan food prepared with love.

If India's been calling you, this could be the trip.

Go to my website, ragunov.orgia.orgia,000-J-N-A-T-H-U-N-A-T-H-E-H-D-H-D-H-E-H-N-A-T-H-E-H-N-A-T-H-E-T-H-E-V-E-L-E-L-E-B-E-L-E-L-E-L-E-L-E-L-E-L-E-L-E-L-E-L-E-L-E- think he's describing vulnerability not as a weakness but as something that's inherent to genuine

love right to real love like you're saying and he's saying that the that there's a consequence to

rejecting um vulnerability and that is that it deadens the heart. Like you, like he said, you can just,

you can just put cement over your whole garden and you're never going to have to worry about it

again. Yeah. But the whole thing's dead. You know, nothing's growing there. And so that,

I think that that idea, in the context of Vedanta, its implications are huge.

Like, in other words, as a Bhakti yogi, I can look at other valid paths of yoga,

particularly, let's say, giana yoga, right?

And let's just say the whole realm of monistic

thought, where it's like the belief that God is not a person, but that there is just one energy

that I am that energy and I realize that I am that energy, then I exist eternally in a state of bliss without anybody else in the picture.

What to speak of someone that I could be particularly vulnerable to who's someone who's ontologically more powerful than me.

Right. So like that is a very safe feeling,

um, theology or ideology or however you want to, you know,

however you want to philosophy or whatever, you know, this is what that, that,

I believe that there's an appeal to that because it feels safe.

You know, a lot of times people like categorize or characterize.
