Summary

Kahlil Gibran meets the Bhakti Yoga tradition in this sharp and spirited episode of Wisdom of the Sages. Raghunath and Kaustubha explore how real spiritual practice is carried from the temple into every corner of your life — where daily routines, relationships, and even messy moments become sacred offerings.

From Saratoga’s healing springs to Krishna’s father giving away two million cows, this episode uncovers the deeper meaning of ritual, how devotion purifies the mind, and how love transforms the way we see the world.

Highlights include:
* Khalil Gibran’s line: “Your daily life is your temple and your religion. Whenever you enter into it take with you your all.”
* Why ritual without heart is just empty choreography.
* How devotion purifies the mind like the body’s organs purify the blood.
* The joy of seeing Krishna — and sacredness — in everyone and everything.
