1744: The Quiet Hum of Mortality in the Back of Our Minds
We try to avoid thinking about death. We push it into the background of our minds. But beneath the surface of our thoughts there is a quiet “hum” of mortality creating an undercurrent of anxiety. In this episode of Wisdom of the Sages, a deeply personal reflection on aging, grief, and mortality opens into a powerful exploration of spiritual philosophy. Raghunath and Kaustubha explain that the only way to quiet that hum is not by ignoring it, but by confronting it with truth — truth about the nature of the self and the liberating insights of Vedic wisdom. The discussion also explores one of the most mysterious teachings of the Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam — an ancient Sanskrit text that explores devotion to Krishna and the nature of the soul: the story of the gopīs — the cowherd women of Vrindavan whose hearts were completely absorbed in Krishna. Their vulnerability reveals the essence of devotion — surrendering the ego and awakening divine love. After the official podcast ends, the tapes keep rolling for some relaxed and entertaining post-podcast banter ******************************************************************** LOVE THE PODCAST?
