Summary
Six years ago we hit "record" with shaky internet and big dreams—then a lucky break, and a global lockdown helped turn Wisdom of the Sages into a daily lifeline for thousands of listeners.
In this special 6-Year Anniversary episode—recorded live from Govardhan Ecovillage, India—listeners step up to share how daily Śrīmad Bhāgavatam, bhakti-yoga, kirtan, and satsang pulled them out of anxiety, addiction, trauma, and spiritual confusion—and into something steady, practical, and strangely joyful. From Berlin to Manhattan to Asheville, you'll hear how the "sages in the pages" become real when the teachings move from information to transformation.
