I know it must be difficult to do it as often as you do. The more listeners you get, the more you spread the message. I’m grateful you don’t get too political too, because you’re message is better, more encompassing and more needed. That’s what made Hare Krishna’s great - they had a message neither side could embrace without some humility.

Kaustubha and Raghunath open the door to the bonafide path of self discovery through wisdom that is thousands of years old, and presented in today’s language with humility, humor, and guided insight to discover one’s TRUE SELF. I am very grateful for this daily offering!

The hosts of this podcast are great. It’s a funny podcast where raghunath almost faints, and it’s a great spiritual podcast with Q and A(question and answer)

This amazing podcast, all the incredible people involved, and the dazzling array of inspirational guests is changing my life in the most beautiful ways. Thank you all. My family thanks you. I started from the very beginning, although it’s now 2024 I am only in 2021 over 1 1/2 months of listening #394, but am so appreciative of this journey and looking forward to abundantly more powerful growth. Give it a chance. Open up. Trade in your expectations for appreciations. “The fact that we are dissatisfied with matter is an indication that we are beyond matter (we are spirit). Use the material world to release ourselves from the material world.” Hare Krishna! Love, blessings, and aloHA!

Legit, funny, relatable, applicable, and so necessary. Thank you so much for your service and commitment to sharing Bhakti. Infinite gratitude 🙏 Hari Bol 📿

Listen, learn, grow and become a better human being. Hindu knowledge explained/taught to us laymen in a fun/ entertaining way. Don’t just sit there, mosh it!

You got a guru?

I am a newcomer to this philosophy, and I find it to be fundamentally life-changing. This podcast is laugh out loud funny, thought-provoking, and filled with kindness and generosity. Thank you to all those involved in this, I am very grateful.

Entertaining and insightful and sometimes very silly. These 2 guys have their heads and hearts in the right place! Love listening to them!!!

I first learned about this show when Raghunath went on the Rich Roll Podcast. After listening to my first WoS episode, I was hooked and look forward to new episodes to be released. Thank you Prabhu’s! 🙏 Your discussions and insights have had profound impact on my spiritual journey. ❤️

I’ve been listening to Wisdom of the Sages daily for about 3 years now. I can’t say enough about how wonderful this podcast is. It’s been a guiding light in my life and something I look forward to listening to every day. It provides me a regular connection to community, wisdom, and support for my personal and spiritual development. Raghu and Kaustubha share deep and profound ancient teachings of Bhakti Yoga in an engaging and accessible way for modern times. It’s perfect!! Give it a listen. Thank you, Raghu, Kaustubha, and Mara! I’m so grateful to you and the whole Wisdom of the Sages community.

Here is the answer to all of our questions, and remedy for all of our fears when confronting chaotic times such as these. Many, many thanks to the teachers!

Two of the most gifted teachers alive speaking of the highest topics, Yoga and the Srimad Bagavatam. I have been to India with Raghunath and studied with him and Kastubah and my life continues to be deeply enriched by these teachings. We are so very lucky and privileged to have access. Jai Radhe!

Love to listen to this with family on road trip. Love to listen to this alone driving home from work. I laugh out loud and I am filled w so much love that people like Raghu, and Kastubha and Mara are here and bring us such a down to earth- touch the grass- yet reach the heavens- podcast.

Raghu & Kasthuba provide a fresh rendition of the Srimad Bagavatam. Don’t let their colloquial, New York delivery fool you on their devotion & wisdom of the Hindu scriptures. These guys are the modern day teachers making their own sauce on ancient wisdom 🙏🙏✨

I have been listening since pretty much the beginning and this show quickly became a crucial and core part of my daily sadhana. I look to Raghunath, Kaustubha, and Mara on a daily basis to be a compass for my spiritual journey. No matter where my head is upon waking (usually scattered and distressed) my boat seems to at least be pointed back in the proper direction after the show has finished. What you are doing here is extremely important and I thank you so very much.

Daily spiritual discipline can be a challenge, but Wisdom of the Sages offers a daily submersion into spiritual wisdom, encouragement, and self-inquiry! The Srimad Bhagavatam is for everyone!

Love you three! Been listening to your podcast for 2-3 years! Daily association that is so much needed and appreciated. Lots of deep topics and you will laugh! Check them out! Sincerely, Madan Gopal das

Everyone is so loving, funny and full of light and charm while sharing spiritual knowledge and experiences on their path. These two are a blast as they share the teachings and am thrilled to be able to join live on zoom. This is a beautiful community with unlimited lessons and unconditional support instilled with divine love. It is the perfect way to start the day with Wisdom of the Sages. Hari Bol 🌹🎉🙏🏼 In Kindness, Sarah-swati

Excellent podcast dedicated to daily wisdom that one must hear.

Every time I tune into the show I learn something new. Our hosts are a true joy and bring lots of laughter along with their timeless wisdom.

one of the “others” here! adding this podcast to my weekly rotation has totally transformed my state of mind and revolutionized my spiritual practice - so grateful to ragunath, kestubah, and mara for this daily dose of wisdom

Great podcast. Helps me to remember my true self.

I always enjoy the nuggets of Wisdom and community of yogis that wisdom of the sages provides. JAI SRI KRISHNA ✨🙏🏽🌸

My name is Sofia, I’m also one of the “others”. I’ve been listening to the WOTS since last year, probably around September. I went back with “fomo” and started on episode 1. I listen to the podcast daily and I am still trying to catch up with previous episodes. Absolutely recommend this podcast to someone who’s just new to Bhakti and wanting to understand more about it. Plus Ragu, Kaustubha and even Mera and so fun to start the day with. Thank you for this podcast.

Loved the word translations Gradma Terry was an amazing interview

I’ve been listening to this podcast since its inception in January 2020, that’s 1000+ episodes. The hosts, Raghunath and Kaustubha’s personalities play off each other well, and they draw you, not only into the spiritual literature they explore, but also into a larger community of spiritual seekers. The philosophy they espouse recognizes everyone is in a different place on the spiritual journey and they’ve masterfully created a connection that meets people where they are, but also challenges them to be open to moving upward and onward - growing and expanding their consciousness. Ultimately, its a path of love (bhakti) and the host’s commitment to a daily podcast exemplifies that principle. I also appreciate that they don’t claim to know it all, but they bring on experts as guests to delve deeper in everything from grief, addiction, meditation, and cooking. Check it out, open your heart and mind, you won’t regret it.

Hari Krishna! My name is Marcie, I’m from New Jersey and one of the “others.” I learned to play harmonium with Ragu’s udemy course. I plan to join you one of these mornings. Until then thank you for filling me with joy and hope that I’m on the right path. 🙏🏻🥰

The only podcast I listen to regularly and have been listening consistently for over 2 years. There’s nothing else like it! Priceless Spiritual knowledge in a fun, real, and entertaining package…I wish the whole world was listening!! Haribol!

What a fun show and I learn a bit as well. These 2 old friends make me smile and laugh. The wisdom is the Vedic teachings and how they apply to todays world. Thanks it’s a true blessing.

This is a simply wonderful show that teaches the way of Bhakti Yoga and the ancient wisdom of Vaishnava and Vedanta philosophy. It is entertaining, full of humor and, more than that, it offers clear demonstration of how to live a spiritual life in practical terms. These guys are hysterical and I recommend that you invest your time in listening everyday!! Haribol!!!

After years of trauma, I thought my mental health would never get better. This podcast and the wisdom of the sacred texts has saved my life with relatable, compassionate, and digestible, wholesome principles that includes ALL beings. Anyone seeking to better themselves should try this podcast out, regardless of religious background. You have to try it yourself to see the magic work in your life. Haribo!

If there is one word I can use to describe the Wisdom of the Sages podcast, I would say, ‘uplifting’. Combining the ancient wisdom of the sages of India and the Vedas with contemporary philosophy and scholarly wisdom from all over the world, including both western and eastern theology, Raghunath and Kaustubha have created a show as solemnly inspiring and motivational as it is entertaining and often humorous. The show provides a sincere, sophisticated approach to learning about and reading the Srimad Bhagavatam and the Bhagavad Gita and applying it’s wisdom practically to our lives today in the modern world, while at the same time making it fun to learn and never dry. I would recommend this show to anyone, and listening daily has made a major positive impact on my life. I love starting my day out with WOS. You gotta check it out! -David Murray

I found out about this podcast back in April and I’ve been binging every day since. Some how Raghunath came to mind (probably readin something about hardcore) and i gave him a search because i honestly didn’t know anything about him other than he sang in bands. I don’t binge 1 or 2 episodes but sometimes 8. I’m a letter carrier and mostly walk half a marathon a day so I need something to keep my mind clean and distract myself from the monotony of shoving advertisements in tiny door slots or far off mailboxes. I’m drawn to this podcast because every day my heart gets a little cleaner listening to it. I can’t hire a maid to clean up my heart so listening to spiritual wisdom will have to be my path. Thank you all.

This podcast is a beautiful conversation on the core concepts behind Bhagavad Gita. I found this gem through Joe Rogan podcast and now has become a daily listening experience.

I’ve been a listener and zoomer and community supporter of Wisdom of the Sages for over a year now and I’m grateful for the door that it opened into Bhakti yoga and the divine love of Radha/Krishna. Their requirement to chant at least one round of the astounding Maha Mantra for zoomers opened actual physical blocks around my heart and continues to deepen, in miraculous ways. I am truly grateful and hope my daily practice continues to deepen for the rest of my life. It may really save your life. But a word of warning that reading and hearing ‘by men, for men, about men’ day after day will definitely require you to develop a strong stomach and steady mind. Patriarchy, the infrastructure of male supremacy, was instituted (according to anthropology, archeology, and now genetic analyses) about 5000 years ago, and put in place through violence and coercion, sustained through socialization since. The texts and purports are clearly part of the socializing vehicle. I have to keep moving through all this sexist and sometimes openly misogynistic nonsense to get to the actual divine teachings. Deeper, in the more ‘confidential’ aspects we finally find the divine feminine in her glittering form; and it is clearly stated that to worship Krishna without Radha is a waste of time, they cannot exist apart. But these much more interesting teachings are not spoken of much at all. Krishna is reduced to ‘him’ to ‘lord’ and the divine feminine is made his aspect. It cannot be correct that unlike all else in the universe, god is one sided, has only one pole; this is an old trick we see repeated in other traditions to help keep the social order. Aren’t you tired of it yet? I am. It is probably one of the best podcasts you will ever spend your time on, but I sincerely wish the increasingly boring eye of male supremacy could be challenged openly by the crew. It would be so interesting to know how the women of that time, who were stripped of power and rank to become appendages and property, sustained their faith and devotion, and what the female sages taught. We see some, like Sati, who chose to leave rather than stay, I’m afraid that may be the fate of others in this time too.

This podcast is how I start my mornings now. It has replaced the news and other talk shows and my mornings start off on such a better note. The wisdom they share is life changing. Never thought I could get so much out of a podcast. Thank you!!

This has brought so much insight to create peace and clarity to my life Every episode is a connection to the Devine ✨

An important part of my morning (or afternoon or evening).

I didn’t know what I was looking for when I found this podcast, I just knew I needed something different to fill my life and mind than what I had been consuming. I was burnt out, exhausted from listening to the news cycle, overwhelmed with hearing blaming, othering, bickering and negativity. I didn’t do any research about Wisdom of The Sages, or the hosts of the show – I just went to the beginning and listened to the first episode. The more I listened the more I heard ideas that resonated with me, sounded familiar to my own thoughts about how to live a kind and connected life, and paths to connect with people who are also seeking satisfied and purposeful lives. For the first time I was exposed to a spiritual path that does not focus on judgment and guilt but instead focuses on love, connection and offering the gifts you have to the world around you. I listen to the show every day, and join the live broadcast on Zoom. Starting each day with a dose of spiritual contemplation is the most effective way I’ve found to keep the bigger picture in mind and approach each day with an open heart. I’m taking my spiritual journey one day at a time and at my own pace but feel more calm, confident and connected to the world than I did before discovering this path because I have the right context for me personally to accept there is a loving force that connects all living things. At the time of this writing I’ve been listening for just over two months, but I feel like Bhakti has been in my head and heart for my entire life. Since listening to that first episode I have focused on changing the way I interact with the world, have been able to better manage chronic anxiety and have worked through some of the worst career related burnout I’ve ever experienced. Outside of the show I’ve been exploring tools to make the time I spend with myself more meaningful, and have deepened my yoga and meditation practice. I’ve been open to connecting with people in my daily life about spirituality and their connection with a higher power. I’ve shared this podcast with some friends and family who are at different places on their spiritual journeys, and who are either dedicated to or come from different spiritual paths. They all find value in the topics discussed here. I think no matter where you’re coming from, at, or on your way to, the messages and discussions shared here have deep meaning and are an important addition to the conversation about our collective values.

I’m so so so grateful for this podcast! I listen daily, and it grounds me. Reminds me of what’s important in this life. This podcast got me through the hardest time in mine and my family’s life. Thank you WotS crew for everything!! 🙏🙏🙏

This show is an essential part of my bhakti yoga practice. I listen everyday. - Ramā dd

I start every morning with Wisdom of the Sages. The knowledge that is shared has helped me in my everyday life and I truly am happier than ever. It has helped me realize my spiritual path in a way that nothing else has. It is the perfect balance of serious and hilarious and I am grateful to Raghunath and Kaustbha every day!

wisdom of the sages has truly transformed my spiritual life and there’s no other way I prefer to begin my morning practice! the sangha (community) I’ve been able to find through tuning into the show live most mornings has been so valuable to my growth and I am forever grateful for the things I’ve learned through Raghu, Kaustubha, and Mara! HARIBOL 🙏🏼

I love this podcast and listen daily. The hosts and guests are inspired. Highly recommend. Haribol!

Absolutely love this podcast! Beginning my day with this podcast helps set the tone for the entire day. Always beautiful, inspiring and fun .. love you guys !! Thank you so much for creating this podcast ❤️❤️

Absolutely life changing! If you interested in yoga, listening to this podcast is a must!

The greatness in this podcast is not understood by anything you will can experience with in your material senses(although it is quite relishable like ice cream). It hits you on a deeper level than material words can place. The greatness of these conversations in sharing the wisdom of the sages is that, these vibrations inspires all to work to invite the depthless pool of divine connection into your deepest self. It seems to very often speak to me about something that I am working within myself correlating exactly the conversation on the podcast. The right words at the right time Thank you so much Please except my respects to all that bring this podcast together.

After reading Yoga Hatha Pradipika, I was in search of something delving deep into yoga philosophy. This is the perfect mix of encouragement, delight, and humor. Thank you!!
