Summary
Time doesn’t just pass—it devours. In this raw and thought-provoking episode, Raghunath and Kaustubha unpack a powerful moment from the Śrīmad Bhāgavatam, where the tyrant Kaṁsa wakes in dread, realizing that Time itself—the force that ends all things—has come for him.
With lyrical insights from Pink Floyd, unexpected depth from the Insane Clown Posse, and timeless wisdom from ancient India, they explore what it means to live with urgency, die with clarity, and access the eternal—right now.
Key Takeaways:
• “The sun is the same in a relative way—but you’re older”
• Kaṁsa’s existential crisis and the arrival of death personified
• Insane Clown Pundits? — finding truth in unexpected places
• One good round: the mantra practice that changes everything
• How Vedic wisdom teaches us to step out of time—and into eternity
Time is chasing you. But you can stop running.
🎧 Listen now and chant your way beyond the clock.
