1516: Vishnu's Universal Form: An Infinite Circle Whose Center is Everywhere

from Wisdom of the Sages · host Raghunath Cappo and Kaustubha das

"God is an infinite circle whose center is everywhere and circumference nowhere." – Nicholas of Cusa What does it mean for God to exist both within everything and beyond everything at the same time? In this riveting episode of Wisdom of the Sages, Raghunath and Kaustubha delve into the paradoxical nature of the divine, the various Universal Forms of Vishnu and the remarkable transformation of Bali Mahārāja—a so-called demon who became a pure bhakti yogi. Witness how Bali surrendered everything, even defying his own guru, to enter the world of pure devotion. Key Highlights: ✨ The mystery of God's universal form: how everything is within Him, yet He is beyond it all. ✨ Bali Mahārāja's journey from conqueror of worlds to surrendered devotee. ✨ Krishna serves as the messenger of the Pandavas and blows everyones mind ✨ What Bali's bhakti reveals about stepping out of the world of taking into the world of giving. ✨ Why the divine plan is always unfolding—even when it feels incomprehensible. This episode brings the teachings of the Śrīmad Bhāgavatam to life, exploring the paradox of divine immanence and transcendence through Bali's ultimate act of surrender. 🎧 Watch now and uncover the cosmic truths of Bhakti Yoga. #BhaktiYoga #UniversalForm #SurrenderToGod #WisdomOfTheSages #InfiniteCircle SB 8.20.18-21 ********************************************************************* LOVE THE PODCAST?
