1790: How Do You Know You're Advancing? / Q&A Vol. 297
About this episode
The hosts answer questions about spiritual progress and the nature of Krishna's actions during a live retreat.
Live from the Wisdom of the Sages annual Tuscany retreat, Raghunath and Kaustubha take questions from their live audience. Four questions: When Krishna takes something away — is it punishment or love? How do you know if you're actually making progress on the path of bhakti? How do you stay Krishna conscious in a kirtan scene that rarely chants the Mahā-mantra? And how do we process the apparent repercussions of Krishna's Līlā in this world — Hiraṇyakaśipu was a devotee in a previous life, and yet he torments Prahlāda, kills brāhmaṇas, and terrorizes the universe. How do we make sense of that? ******************************************************************** LOVE THE PODCAST? WE ARE COMMUNITY SUPPORTED AND WOULD LOVE FOR YOU TO JOIN!
