1703: Real Evil Is Boring, Real Good Is Wild | Why Darkness Fails and Bhakti Thrives

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

Simone Weil's razor-sharp insight cracks open this episode: we glamorize imaginary evil and underestimate how powerful real goodness actually is. Raghunath and Kaustubha reflect on goth culture, mob movies, Nagababas, and kirtan festivals as they contrast the "cool darkness" our minds romanticize with the deep, surprising joy of a life given to Krishna. Along the way, Lord Brahmā's prayers in Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam 10.14 expose how our homes, families, and attachments can either imprison us—or become our path to liberation. ******************************************************************** LOVE THE PODCAST?
