1594: Reflections, Shadows & Illusions of Love
Manage episode 480919552 series 2635144
When something looks so promising—so beautiful, so exciting—you think, this has to be it… but in the end, it leaves you empty. That’s what it means to live in the shadows - the imitations we chase: reflections that mimic the real thing, but have no substance.
In this episode, Raghunath and Kaustubha conclude the wild and painfully relatable story of King Purūravā and Urvaśī from the Śrīmad Bhāgavatam, and share a bit about their own heartbreaks too.
From noble warrior to emotional wreck, Purūravā’s obsession leads him to whimper before goddesses, trying to win back a woman who ghosted him in the most cosmic way.
Key Highlights: • Reflections, shadows, and AI girlfriends: welcome to Purūravā’s downward spiral • When spiritual practice becomes just another form of escapism • Kaustubha, Raghunath, and Mara share their heartbreak stories 💔 • Is Raghu Mara’s rebound? • Material solutions won’t cure our material heartbreak • The pleasure codes come preloaded with pain
Tune in for ancient wisdom, modern neurosis, and a whole lot of spiritual therapy. You may just see your own story in the shadows of King Purūravā.
