About this episode
When devotion becomes a transaction, spiritual life starts to thin out. In this episode of Wisdom of the Sages, Raghunath and special co-host Pranapriya Devi Dasi explore how bhakti deepens not through bigger offerings or louder effort, but through listening, responsibility, and presence. Drawing from the Śrīmad Bhāgavatam, stories of karma and mercy, and everyday struggles with anxiety, chanting, and family life, the conversation points to a quieter truth: spiritual growth begins when we stop managing outcomes and start showing up with sincerity.
A grounded, humorous, and sobering reminder that bhakti isn't about getting more—it's about giving attention.
