1578: Fear of Loss is a Path to the Dark Side
Manage episode 477571642 series 2602123
Loss comes for everyone—but the Bhakti yogi faces it not with fear, but with training, trust, and transcendence. In this powerful episode, Raghunath and Kaustubha unpack how the wisdom of the Śrīmad Bhāgavatam prepares us for the moments that shake our identity, strip our attachments, and invite us into deeper surrender. From philosophical insight to real-life stories, they reveal how detachment isn’t cold or passive—it’s the soul’s doorway to freedom.
Key Highlights: * “Train yourself to let go of everything you fear to lose.” — Yoda (Bhakti approves.) * Why loss is not punishment—but a spiritual upgrade in disguise. * Chest-waxing and ego-stripping: a painful but necessary metaphor for spiritual growth. * The man who thought his wealth could buy him a free pass at the barber shop—and what that reveals about false identity. * What it means to live as if nothing is yours, and love as if everything is. * The yogi’s mindset: clarity in chaos, faith in the face of death.
🎧 Tune in now and discover how the Bhakti tradition reframes loss as grace, grief as growth, and endings as the beginning of true connection.
