1603: Darkness, Evil & Satan: A Bhakti Yoga Perspective / Q & A Volume 275
Manage episode 483507857 series 2635144
What is Evil? Different tradition have different ideas. In this compelling Q & A episode of Wisdom of the Sages, Raghunath and Kaustubha explore how the Bhakti tradition understands darkness, Satan, and the concept of evil. Is it a cosmic force? A personal being? Or simply the absence of divine light?
Other questions include how to navigate workplace obligations at bars while maintaining spiritual sobriety, and what pure devotional service looks like in today’s world.
Key Highlights: • Evil explained Bhakti-style: darkness isn’t a rival force—it’s what happens when we turn away from the light • What to do when your boss schedules meetings in a bar (spoiler: garlic-soaked pizza may also be involved) • Pure devotion demystified: how love shows up in kirtan, service, and yes, even chicken coop assignments • Lessons from Mussolini to CBGB’s: the slippery slope of bad choices and the art of guarding your inner light • It’s not about being judgmental—but about choosing clarity over compromise
