1673: The Opposite of Love is Illusion: Bhakti, Dharma, & Mandalas as Reality

Wisdom of the Sages

Rabindranath Tagore wrote that "Love is the only reality… the ultimate truth at the heart of creation." In this episode, Raghunath and Kaustubha explore why the opposite of love isn't hate but illusion, and how failing to see others as sparks of the divine disconnects us from reality itself. From Krishna's cosmic picnic mandala to Lord Jagannāth's worldwide Ratha Yatra, and even a few Roomba and Nutella detours, discover how Bhakti yoga reveals love as the center of all existence.
