1677: Softening the Heart: Bhakti Yoga & the Power of Emotion

Wisdom of the Sages

The Bhagavad-gītā is more than philosophy—it's full of feeling. Arjuna's grief and Krishna's compassion remind us that yoga is not about suppressing emotions but purifying and deepening them.

In this episode, Raghunath and Kaustubha explore Krishna's pastime of becoming every cowherd boy and calf in Vṛndāvana, where ordinary love becomes unlimited when connected to the Divine. The lesson: to experience the emotions of bhakti, we must keep our hearts soft and respectful toward all beings.

Also: Raghunath clears his head on a bike ride, Mara has her "Govardhan Hill moment," and magnets and rust somehow find their way into yoga philosophy.
