The more that I looked into the dairy industry, the more that I saw that it was the singular, most inhumane industry on the planet, that we've all been lied to, including myself, for years. I always believed that the picture on the milk carton, the cow standing next to her calf in the green field with the red barn in the back was true. It’s certainly the complete opposite.” – Richard (Kudo) Couto Richard (Kudo) Couto is the founder of Animal Recovery Mission (ARM), an organization solely dedicated to investigating extreme animal cruelty cases. ARM has led high-risk undercover operations that have resulted in the shutdown of illegal slaughterhouses, animal fighting rings, and horse meat trafficking networks. Recently, they released a damning investigation into two industrial dairy farms outside of Phoenix, Arizona supplying milk to Coca-Cola’s Fairlife brand. What they uncovered was systemic animal abuse, environmental violations, and a devastating betrayal of consumer trust. While Fairlife markets its products as being sourced "humanely," ARM’s footage tells a very different story—one of suffering, abuse, and corporate complicity. Despite the evidence, this story has been largely ignored by mainstream media—likely due to Coca-Cola’s massive influence and advertising dollars.…

What does it means to lead without ego, serve without exploitation, and rule with spiritual detachment? In this episode of Wisdom of the Sages, Raghunath and Kaustubha dive into the extraordinary standard set by Lord Ramachandra, whose rule began not with conquest but with renunciation.
The conversation also takes a deeper look at the controversial episode of Sita’s banishment though the eyes of the sages (as opposed to the lens of ones’s own painful divorce). When seen with spiritual clarity, the pain of separation transforms into an expression of divine love, where Ram and Sita’s apparent distance reveals the depth of their unbreakable connection.
Key Highlights: * How Ram’s leadership flips modern politics on its head * Sages with melted hearts receive the supreme gift - inner illumination * Sita’s banishment—and why comparing it to your messy breakup doesn’t quite work * What Jay Shetty, and Douglas Adams and Socrates have to do with karma yoga * Abraham Lincolns touching letter about losing a loved one * Bhakti as the “Platinum Package” of yoga paths (yes, karma and jñāna are included) * How Sita Sings the Blues delights, but disappoints

In this brutally honest and strangely hilarious episode, Raghunath and Kaustubha dissect the story of King Pururava and Urvashi—a psychological case study from the Śrīmad Bhāgavatam that shows what happens when infatuation clouds the intelligence and the fantasy of love eclipses reality. Key Highlights: • “Desire is never far from despair” • When romance becomes a shortcut to self-worth, things get weird… fast. • Toxic masculinity? For sure. But let’s talk toxic femininity too. • The ancient Vedas meet Youth of Today lyrics and Bob Dylan—because of course they do. • “Romance keeps us in Maya”—and other unsexy truths we all need to hear • And yes, Raghunath actually has a “house axe” for intruders.

In this powerful Q & A episode of Wisdom of the Sages, Raghunath and Kaustubha dive deep into what one listener calls “the sorrow of losing joy in the material world.” What unfolds is a raw, insightful conversation on threshold sorrow—the strange pain of shedding old pleasures that no longer satisfy, and crossing into the unknown terrain of spiritual depth. 🎧 All Questions Answered in this Episode: • Is it normal to feel sadness when losing taste for material pleasures? • How to understand sattva guna (the mode of goodness)? • Were Lord Rāma’s exiled sons bereft of His loving affection? • How do I know if I’m doing what God intends for me to do in life? From the bittersweet poetry of spiritual surrender to the mystery of divine separation, Raghunath and Kaustubha unpack what it means when Krishna starts cleaning out the clutter of your heart. Sometimes, enlightenment feels like heartbreak. But there’s beauty in the break. Key Highlights: • Why “threshold sorrow” is a sign of real progress on the bhakti path • What happens when you try to relive your old joys and it just tastes like… Carvel? • Poetry can capture the bittersweet taste of spiritual growth • Why Luv and Kush weren’t spiritually shortchanged—even if their dad was Lord Rāma and they were raised by a sage in the woods • The surprising power of sattva (goodness) as more than just “calm energy” • God’s will, your purpose, and the secret of finding clarity in a confusing world 🔔 Subscribe for more daily drops of yoga wisdom and truth bombs from the bhakti tradition. 🎙️ Listen now and let the old self die—so something better can be born. #BhaktiYoga #ThresholdSorrow #SpiritualAwakening #LettingGo #KrishnaConsciousness #WisdomOfTheSages #BhagavadGita #SitaRam #VedicWisdom #ThreeGunas #ModeOfGoodness #BhaktiTransformation #EgoDeath #LoveAndSeparation ********************************************************************* LOVE THE PODCAST?

They unpack a verse that flips the spiritual script: liberation doesn’t require a cave—it requires clarity. With vegan cheesecake hangovers, Tom Sawyer tricks, and a dose of Shakespearean angst, this episode reveals how kings lived as yogis—and how your own messy, modern life can become sacred ground for spiritual evolution. Key Highlights: • “There is nothing either good or bad, but thinking makes it so.” — Hamlet (and basically the Bhāgavatam too) • Why your mind is a meaning-making machine—and how that distorts reality • Eastern philosophy says good and bad are illusions—here’s what that really means • The Bhagavad-gītā’s bold message: you can transcend duality without renouncing your responsibilities • How tolerance is the first quality of a true sadhu or yogi • Why red isn’t good, blue isn’t bad, and Denmark is just a mindset 🎧 Tune in, subscribe, and share the love. #BhagavadGita #SrimadBhagavatam #BhaktiYoga #Hamlet #NonDuality #MeaningMakingMachine #SpiritualWisdom #WisdomOfTheSages SB 9.13.27 ********************************************************************* LOVE THE PODCAST?

Key Highlights: * “No hostility in the heart of a yogi”—what this really means and why it’s non-negotiable * The mind always finds a way to rationalize animosity (and what to do about it) * The ‘hot coal’ analogy that might change how you handle resentment forever * Sauerkraut, ego death, and learning to see others through Rāma’s eyes * Why spiritual life means no selective love — even for that one person Drop the hostility.

He’s just playing His flute, dancing, and inviting us back into a life of divine play (lila). In today’s Wisdom of the Sages, Raghunath and Kaustubha reveal a revolutionary truth rooted in the Upanishads, the Vedānta Sūtra, and the Śrīmad Bhāgavatam: the Absolute Truth isn’t weighed down by judgment or duty—the Absolute’s only “business” is joyful līlā, or divine play. So why all the suffering and conflict in this world? We break down why Advaita Vedanta struggles to answer this—and how Bhakti Vedanta offers a beautiful, clear vision: the spiritual world is pure play, and the material world exists to help us remember how to “play nice” again. Key Highlights: * Why Ram, even when fighting Ravana, was just playing with His friends (yes, the monkeys 🐒). * How the real nature of God isn’t the cosmic judge—but the cosmic dancer and lover. * Why suffering doesn’t contradict divine play—it points us back to love. * Vedānta’s ultimate secret: Creation exists solely for the joyful exchange of love. * Is my irritable bowel syndrome really divine play? * The Bhakti Vedanta advantage: a coherent, heart-transforming vision of the Absolute.

Drawing wisdom from Plato, Bhaktivedanta Swami, and Radhanath Swami, we explore how inner clarity is the foundation of any truly functional society. Also: what does Lord Rama’s return to Ayodhya—and his eventual heartbreaking separation from Sita—teach us about the deepest currents of love? Key Highlights: * “The city is what it is because the citizens are what they are.” —Plato * Why policy without purification is just window dressing * What Radhanath Swami told a government official about cleaning rivers * Love in separation: the most esoteric (and confusing) part of bhakti * A tiny chicken, a brutal pecking order, and the quest for a tribe 🐔 * Prabhupāda’s radical idea: train hearts, not just professionals * The river of love flows between two banks: union and separation This episode is part philosophy, part Ramayana, part barnyard tale—but all bhakti. 🎧 Tune in, subscribe, and share if you’re ready to stop treating symptoms and start addressing the root. #FixTheHeartFixTheWorld #BhaktiYoga #SpiritualSociety #PlatoToPrabhupada #LoveInSeparation #WisdomOfTheSages #BhaktivinodaThakura #RadhanathSwami ********************************************************************* LOVE THE PODCAST?

57:38 Play Later Play Later Lists Like Liked57:38
Play Later Play Later Lists Like LikedHow do decades of spiritual practice shape your heart when death comes knocking? In this powerful episode, we hear from our longtime friend Yasso who, after forty years of devotion, is now facing terminal illness with stunning clarity and peace. What makes this conversation especially moving is how Yasso’s fearless, attitude of gratitude so closely mirrors the timeless wisdom of Śrīmad Bhāgavatam, where the dying King Parīkṣit embraces his final days with devotion, humility, and total absorption in the divine. Also in this episode: the epic homecoming of Lord Ram and the tear-jerking reunion with his brother Bharat, whose 14 years of radical simplicity (cow urine barley, anyone?) reflect the deepest brotherly devotion—zero envy, all love. And we also explore how devotional art can lift consciousness, using a vivid verse from the Śrīmad Bhāgavatam as our canvas. This one goes deep—real life, real death, and real bhakti. Key Highlights: * A rare window into how a bhakti yogi prepares to leave this world * Lord Ram returns to Ayodhya—no one has ever waved a chadar with more love * No envy, no ego—just love: the bond between Ram and Bharat * Why Krishna art > overpriced splatter art * Chant Hare Krishna and don’t criticize. Boom. That’s it. 🎧 Tune in for sacred wisdom, raw honesty, and a few good laughs with Raghunath & Kaustubha. #BhaktiYoga #SrimadBhagavatam #FacingDeath #SpiritualJourney #WisdomOfTheSages #LordRam #Ramayana #HareKrishna #DevotionalArt #TerminalIllness #YogiWisdom #KrishnaConsciousness ********************************************************************* LOVE THE PODCAST?

1 1581: Rethinking Empowerment: Yoga Wisdom on Commitment vs. Independence 53:54
53:54 Play Later Play Later Lists Like Liked53:54
Play Later Play Later Lists Like LikedHave you ever wondered whether the modern narrative of empowerment is missing something essential? We live in a world where empowerment is often defined as the independent freedom to do as we please. But in this thought-provoking episode, Raghunath and Kaustubha explore a radically different idea—drawn from the bhakti-yoga tradition—that deep commitment can be a source of supernatural strength. Sītā, whose unwavering integrity and loyalty ultimately crushed the might of Ravana, is more than a mythological figure—she’s a spiritual archetype. This episode challenges the assumption that power comes from autonomy, and offers a vision of strength rooted in devotion, integrity, and focus. Whether it’s to a person, a principle, or the Divine, commitment—according to the Bhakti tradition—isn’t weakness. It’s where real empowerment begins. Key Highlights: * The Bhagavatam doesn’t just expose Ravana—it holds up a mirror to our modern cravings * Why unexamined desire can lead to destruction—even when you “have it all” * “Attractive, but not what I need”—the mantra that builds inner strength * The supernatural force of Sītā’s chastity and the deeper meaning of loyalty * A masculine path to power that isn’t about suppression, but sacred focus * Speaking truth to power—without hostility or ego * Raghu & Kaustubha imagine what it would it be like seeing Hanuman flying in the first class cabin 🌟 Subscribe for daily wisdom and join thousands on the transformative path of bhakti. This isn’t just a lesson from ancient scripture—it’s a challenge to reimagine what real strength looks like in our lives today. 🎧 Tune in now and join thousands on the journey of living wisdom. #YogaWisdom #BhaktiYoga #Empowerment #CommitmentOverFreedom #SrimadBhagavatam #Ravana #Sita #InnerStrength #WisdomOfTheSages ********************************************************************* LOVE THE PODCAST?

1 1580: Ravana vs. Hanuman: How to Approach the Divine Feminine & Not Get Smoked 54:01
54:01 Play Later Play Later Lists Like Liked54:01
Play Later Play Later Lists Like LikedThe Ramayana doesn’t just tell an ancient story—it reveals eternal truths. In this episode, Raghunath and Kaustubha explore one of the most profound contrasts in the epic: how Ravana and Hanuman each approach Sita. What unfolds is not just mythological drama—it’s a powerful spiritual teaching. Sita is the personification of good fortune herself. In bhakti wisdom, how we approach her—whether with reverence and devotion or with a mood of exploitation—determines the auspiciousness or inauspiciousness that flows though our lives. This isn’t just about Sita and Ravana. It’s about all of us and the world around us. And yes, the Pope gets a shout-out. So do monkeys with torches. Key Highlights: * Ravana, Hanuman, and the spiritual do’s and don’ts of divine energy * Why auspiciousness isn’t random—it’s relational * The Pope, Easter, and holy humility * Monkeys vs. modern weapons: Why the jungle army wins * The arc of the moral universe is long—but don’t worry, zoom out * Why Sita’s curse beat Ravana’s black magic 🎧 Tune in for timeless wisdom, epic storytelling, and spiritual depth—with just enough monkey mischief to keep it fun. 📿 Subscribe and join the daily pilgrimage of the heart. #BhaktiWisdom #GoddessOfFortune #RamayanaTruths #JusticeAndKarma #SrimadBhagavatam #WisdomOfTheSages #SpiritualTransformation #HanumanPower ********************************************************************* LOVE THE PODCAST?
