Summary
Everybody's Looking for Krishna (Even If They Don't Know It): George Harrison's Bhakti Perspective
George Harrison once wrote, "Everybody is looking for Kṛṣṇa. Some don't realize that they are, but they are." In this episode, Raghunath and Kaustubha unpack how this simple insight lines up perfectly with the teachings of the Bhakti tradition.
Why is it that every craving—for love, beauty, peace, security, adventure—always points us back to Krishna? Why is there really no turning away from Him? Drawing from the stories of the Bhāgavatam and the wisdom of the sages, this conversation explores how the heart's longings are never wasted—they're all leading us toward the source of everything.
